<v Speaker 2>wouldn't have any time to talk about this boot camp

21
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 2>that we're going to be. You're giving us a details

<v Speaker 2>on Good to have you on the fifty five Carse

23
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Morning Show.

24
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Sir, hey Brian, thanks for having me, and thank you

25
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 1>for your support for veterans. You have quite a reputation

26
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.359
<v Speaker 1>for supporting our cause, so thank you so much.

27
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 2>I it's the least I can do. I tell people

28
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 2>every single time that's brought up. I did not enlist,

29
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>and I have such profound respect for those who just

30
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>threw the dice by enlisting, not knowing where they were

31
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.400
<v Speaker 2>going to end up or what they were going to

32
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 2>be doing. And real quick on that note, as your

33
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>CV notes, you're a Marine Corps veteran of the Persian

34
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Gulf and an Air Force veteran of the war in Iraq.

35
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 2>How does that happened?

36
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 1>Well, you spent four years in the Marine Corps and

37
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 1>I got out right before nine to eleven. So I

38
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 1>got out and came back in right before nine to

39
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>eleven just to keep my military service going in the

40
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Air National Guard. And then nine to eleven happened, so

41
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 1>I deployed on nine to eleven to help FEMA teams

42
00:01:58.359 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 1>and here we are.

43
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Well, okay, let's begin with the Disabled American Veterans

44
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Program again DAV dot org. What's the organization all about?

45
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 2>What is the purpose of its existence?

46
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're trying to keep promises to veterans. We're

47
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to make sure that if a veteran was changed

48
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 1>in service, that we're doing everything we can to help

49
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>them meet their maximum potential. And that's what DAV Patriot

50
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.479
<v Speaker 1>boot Camp, this entrepreneur program that we have this morning

51
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>is all about. It's a three day cohort. We're going

52
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.599
<v Speaker 1>to be helping about fifty five we expect entrepreneurs and

53
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 1>the veteran and military connected community. We're going to give

54
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 1>them the building blocks that they need so that they

55
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 1>can be company owners, so that they can be benefits providers,

56
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 1>so they can continue to contribute to our country. It's

57
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 1>an amazing program and it wouldn't be possible, you know,

58
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about people who did not serve. This program would

59
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 1>not be possible without the many, many local CEOs here

60
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in Cincinnati who contribute. We have more than twenty mentors

61
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 1>who are coming from the CEO ranks here locally. It's

62
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 1>a great program and they bring tremendous value to these

63
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.479
<v Speaker 1>veterans who just want the chance to have business to

64
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 1>be more accessible to them.

65
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's nothing like a successful person in business that

66
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>has all those you know, has experience, been there, done that,

67
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 2>build those and knows about those foundational building blocks that

68
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 2>inevitably lead to this to success. Now, the folks that

69
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>are going to be attending this boot camp, are they

70
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 2>want to be future entrepreneurs or do they already have

71
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 2>businesses of some sort and are leaking and seeking to

72
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>expand and learn more about how that happens. Who qualifies

73
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 2>to be a part of this group.

74
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, we're making a big investment in these folks. So

75
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 1>we were looking for people who have made some concrete

76
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 1>steps to show that they're serious, that they have a

77
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>business idea that they usually have websites, they have NEI

78
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 1>in you know, they're they're they're raising some funds, they're

79
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>hiring some people. Because those are the people, you know,

80
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>who we're taking a risk on and we think that

81
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 1>they're going to excel and so we want to get

82
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.599
<v Speaker 1>them in the program so that they can grow. It's

83
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 1>taken that next sleep for their companies from.

84
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 2>What areas of business do the mentors come from, because

85
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm certain of my listening audience. So someone out there

86
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>has got their ears perked up. One, Hey, that sounds

87
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.840
<v Speaker 2>like something I would like to help out with.

88
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's awesome. They're CEOs, they're folks in marketing, their

89
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 1>attorneys founders. I mean the list locally. We just have

90
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 1>actually an attorney from Dinsmore and he is donating Brett

91
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Renzenbrink is donating five thousand dollars worth of legal services

92
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>to support these vetteran entrepreneurs. These are just people who've

93
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>been there, done that kind of in terms of their careers,

94
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:41.839
<v Speaker 1>and they want to give back. They want to help

95
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 1>veterans avoid those early mistakes that they might have made

96
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>in their careers and their businesses so that they can

97
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>get the trajectory they need to succeed.

98
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.319
<v Speaker 2>Right, So I guess in terms of the legal services

99
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 2>that are being volunteered there and salute to those who've

100
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 2>done that. What a great thing, because I know how

101
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>much it costs to hire a lawyer. It ain't cheap, ever,

102
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.600
<v Speaker 2>but setting up, for example, the appropriate corporate structure for

103
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>any given business.

104
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's incredibly important. And that's one of those services

105
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 1>as we were at a cohort in Washington, d C.

106
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 1>And we had two lawyers there that would have cost

107
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a veteran for an hour. You know, we're talking about

108
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>thirteen hundred dollars an hour apiece. And these folks are

109
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 1>thrilled to come in and give veterans their services.

110
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 2>You know what I was when I was in house

111
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 2>with Anthem Blue Cross a blue ship. We're going back

112
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 2>nineteen years now because it is my nineteenth year in radio.

113
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I remember the first time because I was in charge

114
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 2>of managing litigation that we had outsourced in certain times,

115
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 2>and I remember the first time I got a four

116
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>figure per hour a bill out of some New York

117
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>law firm and had soiled myself just looking at that

118
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 2>going I cannot believe how much money these guys cost.

119
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:53.759
<v Speaker 2>But you just hit the nail on the head on

120
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 2>that one. So lawyers out there help out the disabled

121
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.120
<v Speaker 2>American veterans with these programs. Now, you mentioned it's that

122
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 2>the boot camp is starting today. So this I presume

123
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:06.720
<v Speaker 2>that this is not an appeal for folks to sign

124
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 2>up for this particular boot camp. Do you do you

125
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 2>do them throughout the year, Dan.

126
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, we're back in May and we you know,

127
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>this is a program it sources nationally, but we have

128
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>a handful of great local companies who are participating. We

129
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>have a Remodel It Right company, James Hannen, Air Force veteran,

130
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.439
<v Speaker 1>is trying to help remodel homes here locally. We have

131
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>a branding company, Stephen Easley's Easily Blessed Media and they're

132
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>just helping companies get their branding down straight. We even

133
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 1>have a taekwondo company from Wilder representing the cohort. So

134
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 1>it's a fun group. They're they're they're a little bit

135
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>spread out in terms of the types of services, the

136
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>types of products they offer, but they're veterans who we

137
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>think are going to be extremely successful down the road.

138
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, speaking of extremely successful, Dan Claire, chief

139
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Occasions Officer for the da V, can you share maybe

140
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:06.959
<v Speaker 2>a couple of success stories about the results of the

141
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Patriot boot Camp some of the alumni success stories.

142
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 1>Sure. I mean, one one that sticks out to me

143
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>is Alvin Allan Parvis. He's the CEO of Go Faster

144
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Alan's company that's here and since Cincinnti based company, he's

145
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>making running shoes that are kind of a hybrid trail

146
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:28.279
<v Speaker 1>and walking shoe or a trail and street shoe. He's

147
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>an example of a company that's done great. We have

148
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.040
<v Speaker 1>people with just amazing ideas, amazing solutions. One of the

149
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>one of the founders we had, had developed a reservoir

150
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:43.759
<v Speaker 1>that collected water for to refill your windshield. So you know,

151
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.879
<v Speaker 1>you've ever been in the rain and mud and you

152
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>run out of windshield wipe or fluid and you're in

153
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 1>big trouble and you're like, oh my god, it's raining outside.

154
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 1>But he had he'd developed the way that you could

155
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>take in rain water with a detergent and then clean

156
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 1>your windshields. And of course now cars are kind of

157
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>all over. It's just they're amazing ideas. You see with veterans,

158
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>they want to change the world, they want to be

159
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.879
<v Speaker 1>involved in something that's meaningful, and that's what we see

160
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:10.519
<v Speaker 1>with these entrepreneurs' new missions.

161
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.279
<v Speaker 2>How about that, it's one of those things you're surprised

162
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.399
<v Speaker 2>that nobody ever thought of that before. So I guess

163
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.199
<v Speaker 2>are there and I have. I think I maybe seen

164
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.600
<v Speaker 2>a whole all of fifteen or twenty minutes of shark Tank,

165
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 2>where you know, they show off products and try to

166
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.000
<v Speaker 2>get executives to buy into them or thumbs up and

167
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.079
<v Speaker 2>thumbs down kind of thing. Are is there certain elements

168
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:29.079
<v Speaker 2>of that involved.

169
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. We have a pitch contest that goes into every

170
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 1>cohort and it's very much dav Shark Tank without the

171
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>intellectual property theft. It's a great it's a great thing,

172
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, and that follows up on the digital side.

173
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 1>So if you sign up to get information, we'll let

174
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 1>you know when that contest is going to be held.

175
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 1>We've had folks from this program compete in Shark Tank

176
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and even win. So we're we're rolled with the types

177
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>of companies that we have.

178
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Wow. And it's over the course of how many.

179
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Days, it's three full days we start off. This morning,

180
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.039
<v Speaker 1>we just had a bustload of people come in. This

181
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>program also introduces veterans and entrepreneurs to Northern Kentucky. We're

182
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>supported by Meet NKY, Blue North. I mean just the

183
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.799
<v Speaker 1>business community in Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati, and Indiana have just

184
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.679
<v Speaker 1>coalesced around this program. We couldn't do it without them.

185
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>They offer great advice and they're doing this all ot

186
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:29.200
<v Speaker 1>just because they know it's the right thing to do.

187
00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 2>It is the right thing to do. It's like my

188
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 2>support of the American veterans the right thing to do

189
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.440
<v Speaker 2>for me, because you know it's worthy sho support them,

190
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.919
<v Speaker 2>because it's just a quality group of people. I mean,

191
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.240
<v Speaker 2>you already sung their praises and you can only double

192
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 2>down on that. I mean, I know there's some outliers

193
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:45.960
<v Speaker 2>and some bad eggs out in the world, but that's

194
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.200
<v Speaker 2>the case with literally everybody. But I don't think you

195
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.840
<v Speaker 2>can find a better class of people than those folks

196
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.159
<v Speaker 2>who have served their country and served them, served proudly.

197
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.720
<v Speaker 2>And I'm glad this program is out there. When's the

198
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:57.840
<v Speaker 2>next boot camp?

199
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.200
<v Speaker 1>The next boot camp is coming up the first week

200

00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:19.919
<v Speaker 1>cohort is May five through seven. Here locally, we want

205
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.320

<v Speaker 1>and we'll make you part of our community.

209
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>At the risk of having you repeat yourself. I just

210
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 2>want to make sure I understand. You're looking for folks

211
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.200
<v Speaker 2>who already have you know, their their their toes in

212
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.559
<v Speaker 2>the water of business, have something to show for their

213
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.799
<v Speaker 2>entrepreneurial direction, not just someone who's got a great idea

214
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>but it hasn't come to any measure of fruition. I

215
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>got that right.

216
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, We're looking for people who've made a serious

217
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.080
<v Speaker 1>step because it's you know, this is a program. It

218
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 1>brings thousands of dollars worth of value, and we want

219
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>to make it make sure that our mentors time is

220
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.720
<v Speaker 1>being dedicated to people who are going to go out

221
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>there and use it, you know, really put it to work.

222
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>And they're serious companies. They're serious people. They're you know, veterans,

223
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>are resilient people. They know how to scale, they know discipline,

224
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>they understand how to adjust in changing environments. They're just

225
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:21.399
<v Speaker 1>great people. And this gives them the opportunity. You know,

226
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>just a lot of these guys, when when most people

227
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:27.639
<v Speaker 1>were going to college or starting their first business, they

228
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.440
<v Speaker 1>were serving their country. Now we're able to just level

229
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the playing field a little bit for them, give them

230
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:34.200
<v Speaker 1>some of those building blocks so they can go on

231
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.039
<v Speaker 1>and really conquer the world.

232
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Wow, what a great concept this is and how long

233
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>have you been doing this?

234
00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 1>We've been doing this. This became a DAV program. It

235
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.279
<v Speaker 1>was a separate charity founded by civilians to help veterans

236
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.639
<v Speaker 1>get into the tech center. We've had it a DV

237
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>it's been a DV program for three years, but overall

238
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 1>it's been going on for about twelve years that the

239
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>programs existed. It was started by you know, some very

240
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Governor Jared Poulis was one one of the people who

241
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 1>is one of the original founders of the program. It's

242
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.639
<v Speaker 1>just it's an exceptional community that DAV was able to inherit.

243
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.519
<v Speaker 1>When we brought on DAV Patriot boot.

244
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.919
<v Speaker 2>Camp, Well, it comes through loud and clear in your voice,

245
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the enthusiasm you have and how proud you are of

246
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 2>this program and the work that you're doing for the

263
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.919
<v Speaker 1>and they're ongoing mentors. And we need about forty to
