And I thought, "As I'm reading these admissions applications, I'm seeing a lot of kids who need help with putting an application together." And my son would think I was crazy, and I would start telling what I think he should do to get ready [laughs] for college, because this is what they're not doing.

And so I thought, "Well, maybe I could actually put something together and monetize it so that I could have an admissions consulting business and help students put together college applications." And there's two parts of it.

But also, I would love to figure out a way to help kids who are in under-resourced schools who don't actually have college counselors or whose college counselors are overwhelmed because they have hundreds of kids to deal with.
