You know, I had an opportunity to go to San Quentin prison. My father would take a group of his students. For years, he taught teachers how to work with delinquent youths. We got to go into San Quentin prison. We went in there and they have a program that they work with students. that maybe are on borderline of getting into the streets and having problems, and say, you don't want to get there.

And these prisoners were like coaches, and they talked to us about how to be and work with them. And it touched my heart because most of them said that they come from poor families, they come from rich families, they come from all over the universe here, but most of them, their switch was when they were early teenagers. Right. Yeah. Oh, yeah. How have you grown this thing so big?

Now, as president and CEO of Convoy of Hope, that's a big thing. Sometimes the challenges that you faced aren't talked about. Yeah. And sacrifices you personally put into this. Talk to me a little bit about some of the struggles you've had of getting this thing up and running, not just for your company, okay, for your organization, but personally personally.

That is awesome. Do you have a success story that really touches your heart about a community? I'm sure there's many, but is there one at the top of your head that touches your heart?

Now, you mentioned at the beginning that your parents didn't have life insurance, didn't have insurance. And this show is by no means even aware a life insurance company. Is it really pushing life insurance? I've seen being in the business now how having this protection has helped so many families and not burden the kids. and not burden the spouse when something happens.

I'm a strong believer. Yeah. So a lot of guests we've had on the program come from families of backgrounds of great legacy and great achievements, but find it sometimes challenging to forge their own. What advice would you give to someone struggling to identify kind of what their force is, what their dream is?
