- What have been homeless three times in my life?

And then not having graduate home shelter. Candle Lanna, where I met this man homeless, I know it's gonna be successful no matter what anybody telling me. You can tell me differently.

You try to tell me, "Div, you might think, "I thought you was crazy. "I always knew this success was there. "It's just no matter what we're gonna get there." - We were doing real estate at first,

and then in the real estate bubble burst in 2008, everybody knows about the mortgage crisis, couldn't sell the house that we actually had and then somebody contacted us about turning them into personal care, and I was a weekend rid of them out.

- Wow. - And then after that. - And later on, and another, another, there we are. - Bradford and Tronda Giles are compassionate, dedicated, and service driven healthcare leaders

and the founders of GHI Life Sharing. Driven by a deep commitment to family support, they provide high quality, in-home care for children, and young adults with physical and developmental disabilities. Empowering families to navigate daily challenges,

with confidence, and fostering an environment of compassionate, care, true inclusion, and lasting peace of mind.

- I never thought in a million years,

and we never thought that we'd actually be in a position where we could become a public-related company. - Yeah. - That's something that people only dream of, and that's like the pinnacle of success,

when you think about it in your mind, is it man, like we could become a publicly-traded company? People go buy our stock, like you can get shares of GHI. - People who start businesses, they give up too soon.

Success is ours to take, and when you know that,

they'll have to take it from you. (dramatic music) - It spans the goal, like a super high school, internet elders, ready, high school. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone.

- It's not over, I'm telling how we're... - The living your legacy podcast, for those who live to leave a legacy. (crowd cheering) (crowd cheering)

and where you coming from? - Cool, yeah, Bradford Giles. And I'm a lovely wife, Toronto Giles, and our business is GA Child Life Sharing, and we're from Atlanta, Georgia.

She's from Texas, and we're Jane Foxes from Terrell. - Terrell, yeah. - Terrell, Terrell, all right.

- Where is Terrell, because that is outside Dallas Houston?

- It's right outside Dallas. - Okay, okay, and what is in like, is like, we're Jane Foxes from, what's Jane Fox, right? - He's from a little town where there might be only like,

one theater, okay? - You have one middle school, you have one elementary school, you would have one high school, that's platform. - Okay, okay.

- And he got one stop, so I didn't want to stop like that. - That's all y'all got, that's a myth. - He's from, I guess, from a one horse town, I was like, you know how they used to say that. Like, I love Jamie Foxe, he's one of the greatest songs.

So did you, does that mean you went to the same high school as him? - I did, but see him, so I mean, I remember now, we did go to the same church, though. - Okay. - I was only younger, and I remember watching him sing,

he would hit the, you know, if you know him, he has really beautiful. - Oh, he's got some pipes on it, yeah, yeah, for sure.

So, yeah, I remember like seeing him never knew,

I remember he came back when he was doing it, he didn't live in color, and we were all at the park, 'cause the park will have one real port. - Oh yeah. - And so he had me who brought through there,

and he had like one of the flag girls, who had a very comfortable air boss,

like, oh my gosh, that, you know his name is Eric Bishop, right?

- I'm Ashley Zilanova. - I don't know that. - That's right. - So, everybody's in there, is Eric. Everybody's like, "point eight.

"Nay to win out and made it so successful." - And he did, did. - Yeah, I mean he's arrested. - But that's not the only success story to come out of there, I, you're absolutely right.

(laughing) Now, we also just did an episode on Serena Williams, right? That just aired, and we did a show with her, but I love when he's serenading Serena Williams at the SP's about the tennis ball.

I want to be your tennis ball.

I think it was, I've never seen that.

- Oh, not that sounds dope though. - Oh my God, it's so flutty. It's like, I want to be your tennis ball. (laughing) - Like, I don't know if it's Jamie Foxx style,

but yeah, you got to check it out. It's so flutty. - Oh, I'm looking that up for sure, yeah. - So yeah, I guess that little, that little one-stop, like one-street,

one-stop signs town, right? It has a lot of success stories, right? But you at, you had come from, you know,

Your own story as well.

Yeah, I mean, wow, what a story of this couple's empire.

Tell us just a little bit of your background where you came from. - You me? - Yeah. - I am, I am going there because it's just,

it's just part of your hero's journey, right? And it's something that we gotta be proud about because I mean, where you've come to today, right? When you're talking about starter from the bottom now we're here, this is that story, guys.

So if you want to in an amazing story, right?

Couples empire, this is one of the ones that's like, wow. And actually, I want to tell you right now, I'm going to be nominating you for one of our awards, right? And I'm dropping that here on the show.

- Oh, no. - I don't nominate everyone, right? But yeah, you're reminding me of what an amazing story that I will be nominating you guys for one of our awards, right? That doesn't mean that you're there yet,

but you guys will be on the nomination list because you have such an amazing story. And you're such a fun couple. So yeah, just drop a little bit about it. You don't have to go into much details

'cause you kind of cover that in the episode. - So they kind of tag me. - Yeah. - But just know it's like what have been homeless few times in my life.

And then not having graduate home shelter, Candleana, where I met this maid, homeless. And so that's, I mean, it's different kind of homeless, right? I mean, you were dealing with kind of like bankruptcy homeless, right?

And it was never homeless.

- Yeah, so I was a homeless. But the thing is, when she came to Atlanta, she came to Atlanta homeless. - Oh, yeah, yeah. - And because she was making the transition

to Texas from Texas to Atlanta. And then when we met, she was only in town for like just like about a week and so like, once we started like talking at the moment. - Maybe I was homeless.

So I will never talk about. - Yeah. - But the funny thing is like, no one knew anything about me unless I told you. - Wow, so that was your fake it until you make a story.

- Okay, that's what you say. Exactly. It doesn't even matter. This is much of me knowing, I told you I read, and tell you some, I know it's gonna be

successful no matter what anybody's telling me. You can tell me differently. You try to tell me if you might think, I thought you was crazy, but tell me I was not gonna make it.

- Yeah, yeah, it's amazing.

So yeah, I mean, tell us what do you guys do? What's your business? - So we do home healthcare, which is basically I'm private duty nursing agency where we take care of individuals who have medical needs.

So whether or not it's a person who's in a wheelchair and they need assistance with transfers. If it's bathing, if it's grooming, if it's medication management, we just make sure that they have a higher quality of life

in the home and then we provide like a nurse aid to come in and be able to assist them with those medical needs. - Yeah. - So it's super amazing for us just to be able to help these families and just give them a better quality life

because I mean, they need to help so bad and they need assistance and just being able to be there for them, I mean, it's really nothing like it. - Yeah, so you're really helping two people out

because I mean, my father had Parkinson's disease, right?

- Yeah, so I mean, my mom had to help out my dad, right? And sure, my father need help, you know, with a whole bunch of stuff later on in his life, right? But my mom needed that help too 'cause she needs a break, right? So I'm sure you guys have a lot of stories of that.

It's like, sure you offer home healthcare, but you're also offering like stress relief for the wife or the family because, you know, it takes a lot to care for people. It does, it takes a lot.

And we've had some of the craziest situations happen. Think about like this. You have some individuals who have disabilities where they're non-burble, so they can't talk, can't communicate. - Yeah.

- Well, we had a client before they even came to our house at a situation where they left like, you know, they're the house with their family. They literally took a bus ride, couldn't speak to anybody on the bus, got off that bus, took a train to the airport,

got on a plane, flew all the way to California, then called back to their parents house and said, I'm in California. - Wait, how does that happen? - What?

- How does that happen when somebody was-- - Oh, now I won't want that. - Yeah, I mean, the now I won't want situation. - Yeah, and this was like before 9/11. - It's not long ago.

- But even then, you still got through all that security. You still got on a flight, you still got on a plane, you did all that. And it just goes to show like how many different needs, like, you know, individuals actually have,

and then certain people on a wherever it 'cause we've also had like, you know, people with a different behavioral issues, where, you know, people don't understand it because they have certain behaviors

because they're disability. That's making them act a certain way. So if they're in like a store and they get aggressive, then the store owner doesn't know so they'll call the police.

And then all of a sudden, we get calls saying, okay, what's going on with this particular person who's causing all this destruction in the store? Well, I mean, they have autism, you know? But they have a high level of it

to where like, you know, they cause behavioral issues. So when the police are called, they're teasing them and doing all those other stuff.

And we're just like, wait, what the hell's going on?

And we learn to know, like, look, you're dealing with a person who has special needs.

You know, realize they like it's part of their disability,

they're creating that aggression. So there's so much education that's involved

where you have to let other people know in the public,

different people like in different settings. They like, these people need specific help and they need specific assistance and that's the reason why they behave the way they do.

And so don't always jump to like,

call them a police and put them in a situation. We've had to bail different clients at a jail, just because of their disability and law enforcement not knowing the case. - And Jay, that's the part of the business

that we failed in. - Oh yeah. - That's a risk. - Yeah, yeah, that's the one that we failed in. - Okay, how are you?

- That's the second business that we did. - Oh, yeah, yeah. - So that's when we had the personal guarantees. - Do you know what's funny when you're explaining that story? The song that came on my head was the something strange

and you go three stores, who are you gonna call those businesses? - Yeah, but that's the name of your business. - Do you like sharing, share, share, share, share, share. Now you got a new theme song, right? - Don't call the Polo, right?

- Okay, so you get to share. - I mean, how do you get into this healthcare business? I mean, it's kind of like, you know, there's a lot of businesses to go into. Why was this your calling?

- Yeah, I mean, like we were doing real estate at first and then in a real estate bubble burst in 2008, everybody knows about the mortgage crisis. Couldn't sell the house that we actually had and then somebody contacted us about turning them into

personal care and I was a weekend rent-emout. - Wow, and then after that. - And let's own that and then let's own that and here we are. - Yeah, it's crazy how life works out, right? So you have a crazy situation, right?

Where you're just like, kind of like, oh, SHIT, right?

- Yeah. - And then all of a sudden, you get this phone call and it completely flips the script on that whole story and you turn a bad thing into a great thing into a deep and multi-million thing

into a hopefully public exit thing soon, right? - Yes, yes.

So if you think about it, if that hardship never occurred,

we wouldn't be here. If the market never crashed, we wouldn't be here. - Yeah, that's amazing. - Like, and as bad as those things were for everybody, you know what I mean?

Like, it's still created different paths and different avenues to other successes that we weren't even aware of. They were even available. - Yeah.

- And so I think that's probably one of the best parts of life. You know what I mean? It's just that you just never know exactly what you're meant to do until like all of a sudden you're presented with a calling.

It was actually meant for you. - Yeah. So now, I see you guys, you're holding hands, right? This time, right? You're very close, right?

And now, how is it when you guys are running a business together? Right? This is a couple's empire. - It's the same way. - Oh, nice.

- All right. - All right.

- One time you give them all the good tea.

You're not even letting them do the show. - No, we literally have, our desk is side by side. - Yeah. - And our home office. - Okay.

- And it's been that way for sister beginning? - Yes. - So we, yeah, we, we're all up in each other, you know, space and place. The question would be like a lot of people like,

how is it that you can work with your husband, but now your mother's been working with me? That's what's happening. - Yeah, yeah.

- You know someone's women are not always the easiest, though.

But if, oh, I mean, you make it super easy. I mean, the great thing is like, you have like your different roles and responsibilities, and you just basically divide it up to like, what her strengths are and what my strengths were.

Like, when we first started, like, I thought I was doing everything before I brought her in. And I didn't realize she's good at it. Like, almost all the stuff that I'm really, really thought that was good at, that I wasn't even close to being good at,

'cause she was better. And so we started like switching up responsibilities to where she started taking on way more. And then with that being the case, she just made it better.

So then I got focused on specific tasks. She could focus on other tasks, that she's more operations on more financial, and we never have to intersect what we do. So it makes it even better,

'cause we don't step on each other's toes, it's just that she knows what she has to get done. I know what I have to get done, and it makes the perfect work dynamic. - Yeah, it does.

So it's almost like opposite attracts, but when it comes to business, it's like different skill sets, right, attract each other too, right? So then you kind of find out that,

hey, wait a minute, like I see he's doing this stuff, and he's got too much on the plate. You come in there, and you realize, hey, these skill sets kind of match each other in business, right?

So it just works out. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. - Yeah, no clue. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - But I'll say this, like another cool thing about us

is that we do a lot of stuff together outside of work. So we work together, we play video games together. - Oh. - Like she'll be on her Xbox on the other side, and we'll have the headsets on playing Call of Duty,

just she can lighten people up. - It's a little bit different now because we got a baby girl. - So now she has a minimum play video games, that's a long time, 'cause she goes a bit early.

- Yeah, the whole other hit girl. Yeah, the whole other life, I'm in 10 o'clock. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - He'd be by myself wanting his movies,

Watch his, he was playing games.

So he knew his, but it's like it's a totally different world now. But it's called Go Back to Be a Norm, I came with the play, I came way to get back on at Xbox. - Oh yeah, I know. - Okay, she, she, hey, she been wait, A-Win,

the new Grand Theft Auto comes out, is on a pop-up. - Oh, yeah. - She's gonna be like, "Do you go to school?" - Vice City, right? - Yeah, that's a new one that's coming out.

- Yeah, they got like six, like Grand Theft Auto six is what everybody's super away in for, and people are gonna make so much money off of that game. - Oh, man. - 'Cause you can create your own content

and put it in the stores where people would buy in the game. So just imagine that it's gonna be its own store that you could literally just sell whatever you want in the game. - Well, I'm gonna have to show you guys, we have a secret room here in the studio,

and it was a gaming room, right? So I'll have to show you guys that after the show. - Okay, I got to check that out. (laughing) - It's something, I'm like, wait, A, she's gonna get back there.

But I mean, that was your game Call of Duty? - Yeah, so Call of Duty was a bomb. - Yeah, I was just talking this morning, right? And it was on a kingdom creative show, but there was a time like, my time of college

it was all about bond, right? - James Bond. - Hey, playing Golden Eye? - Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly, I used to. - Exactly, I used to, and then there was a time

for me when I was just like, I knew every single room and I was like, man, I spent too much time on this, and I was like, if I had, you know,

'cause I was a little hippie dude long hair, right?

And I was like, I had a band and stuff and I was like, man, if I had spent this time on the guitar, right? I'd be a much better guitar player, you know? So it was just that moment, I just stopped playing video games. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Hey, would you see that we never stopped playing?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's completely different now, you know? It's like now, it's too advanced for me, you know? - A super advanced. - Yeah, yeah, it's a different world.

- Yeah, yeah. (laughs) - But it's funny, like, so we get competitive too, so like, we wrote motorcycles together, we race down the highway. - Okay, I'd be saying, okay, I'd be saying, okay, I'd be saying,

- Crouch rackets or choppers or-- - Crouch rackets. - Okay, okay. - So Yamaha R1, look at my mom, I got six. (laughs) - I guess the clothes they wear. - Yeah. - Pink and blues. - Oh, yeah, yeah.

- You know, I mean, that's, that's, that's something. - Yeah, yeah. - So people see us race down the highway, but oh, they go brand-tripping. - Yeah. - They go, oh, I see them.

- Oh, I saw that, that pink motorcycle just fly down the highway. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - And here we come in. - Yeah, I got that blue one. (laughs) - No, I'm supposed to have a chance at you. No, I'll be, me, Jake, no, you-- - No, we'd say each other.

- You'd be leaving back a forf, that was crazy. And then like, we started driving these out of cars together, so she comes out of the pink Lamborghini, and then I got a blue McLaren. So then like, we do rallies with like 100 other exotic cars.

- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - Everybody's like, "Dad, your wife is fast." - Yeah, like, she's just past me going 100 to 60 miles an hour. I said, "Yep, I said, she don't play in that event in door." (laughs)

- Has to be gone. - It was the same way in the, in the Ashton. - Yeah, yeah. - It was pregnant at that time, and it was still like, "How is she driving this way?" Oh, it was amazing.

- Yeah, 'cause went through the mountains. She just, I'm drifting around the mountain passes, is she's literally like six months pregnant.

- It's just like, yeah, I think I still can't drive,

'cause I got a bun in the oven, but I'll show y'all today. - What's up? - I did a fit in the Ashton. - The Ashton is perfect, the Ashton is perfect.

- Perfect for pregnancy. - Yeah. - The perfect Ashton is perfect for pregnancy. - It's made sure she doesn't kick, 'cause the night dress button or something like that,

right here. (laughing) - Passive here. - That's right. - Yeah.

- Should we talk you just to this up with baby? - Oh, hold on here, one hand. - Hey, that was, I have been hilarious. And the funny thing is, a lot of people don't know that, like, it took us seven years to have our baby,

because all the doctors kept saying

that we were never gonna get pregnant.

- Oh, what? - They were like, oh, her womb is a compatible with having a baby. She had to have seven different surgeries, went through seven different IVF cycles,

went through seven different, you know, multiple different twins. - Seven IVF cycles. - Yes, wow. - Yeah, just to be able to have our baby girl,

and so she was conceived in 2023. - Yeah. - She was two plus zero plus two plus three is also seven. And then she was born 624, which also, yeah, those numbers up equals seven.

And she has seven letters to her name, which is Naila Ray. - All right, wow. - That's a little miracle, baby. - You can congratulate.

- And you say it's a very proud day. - It's a proud day. - And I have to be super proud, he's made it. - Yeah. - I wear a little Darvator shirt that says,

"I am your father." (laughing) Baby girl says, "I am your baby." (laughing)

- That's amazing, that's amazing.

So I gotta ask you something.

The new Ferrari Luché, what was your first reaction to that?

- I can't stand the way that Carlos is so hatey, it's me. I said, "What the hell are y'all thinking?" - I think the whole world, right? It was like, 'cause like, I don't know, when you were looking at the Ferrari website

before it came out, all they have was the iPad thing, right? And it was like, the Luché coming up, and I was like, "What is that?" It was already kind of like weird. You know?

- Yeah. - Then it came out and it was like, "Oh my God." That really was like their little iPad thing in the front.

- Yeah.

- But the whole thing is just like, yeah. - When I said that, I saw that for the reasons of Ferrari y'all dropped a doosé. (laughing) - The Ferrari doosé.

- Yeah, 'cause it belongs to the toilet, flush that thing down. I thought that was AI. I said, somebody definitely just spit this out. (laughing)

Yeah, 'cause I guess it can't be real, there's no way. - Ferrari made something to this hideous. - I was just like, y'all just took a massive dump on the design. - Yeah.

- Yeah. - It was a consultation car. - Yeah. - Not a car set. It was a constipation.

(laughing) - It was bad, it was bad. But, well, I mean, let's bring it back to basic. 'Cause it's, all right, a couple's empire. I could see you guys have a lot of fun together.

You know, you guys got your kind of social activities right. You guys just laughed together right? And the whole time, we were hangin' out during the filming and we were having a lot of fun.

And that's amazing, right?

So, let me say, what do you guys most excited about, kind of moving forward? Like, you guys, like you said, homeless situation, right? You had some bank receipts stuff going, but then you grew and grew.

There were some failures, right? And you grew out of those failures. And where they're at now, and why I'm nominated, because, yeah, they've grown to like, what was it, $80 million?

To just tell us where you're at now, and what are you most excited about?

- Oh man, a life is so incredibly amazing.

Like, the fact that we created over 40 millionaires, which is amazingly incredible. And now, all of us together are part of like a franchise model. So, they're all underneath our umbrella,

and we own 5% of all the agencies who we help build. And the cool thing is that we've got to $80 million girls like you were saying. And then, that's leading us to be in position.

IPO in another two years, 'cause our goal is to hit the $100 million mark. And we'll be there in the next two years, which is like, out of this world and saying,

I never thought in a million years,

and we never even thought that we'd actually be in a position where we could become a public rated company. - Yeah. - That's something that people only dream of. And like, that's like, the pinnacle of success,

when you think about it in your mind, is it man, like, we could become a publicly traded company. People go buy our stock, like you can get shares of GHI. (laughs) Oh my, that is so cool.

And then just being able to see the wealth that people are gonna accrue because, like, all the people who are already currently successful and how much their lives have changed. And that lives are gonna change you more, after we IPO.

And I think the cool thing about all the tragedies

and hardships that we experienced in the past, we can go through them now and it doesn't hurt as much. - Yeah. - You know, it doesn't hurt like a dude there. - Is there a big thing though?

- No, it didn't, it didn't hurt then, but you know how you go through stuff. - That's a lot more stress though. Maybe not the hurt, but the stress and the anxiety. - Yeah, she'll see what I'm about to say.

- But she went through that, she's been through a lot of that stress and anxiety already from your background. So for you, it was maybe much more easier. - Yeah, 'cause it means even a matter of stress

and anxiety is a much again, I always tell you

it's like temporary. - Yeah. - So that's my focus and I stay there in that thought. And I keep saying it over and over 'cause no one could tell me that this was not going to happen.

So I gave my advice. - Yeah, it was never, it was never, I've just, I always knew this success was there. It's just a matter of when we're going to get there. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- And just like I know baby now was there. But we're going to get hard. - Yeah. - And only time with anything, I feel like people who start businesses, they give up too soon.

And when they give up, they give up too soon before it actually happens because of what someone is saying. Someone is allowed them to do doubt that their own natural thought and pattern of life that they could possibly have do to the fact that they're too busy thinking about

what this person, I mean, success is ours to take.

And when you know that, look at it can take it from you. - You gotta kind of cancel out all the noise. - Absolutely, you know. - You need that, that's entrepreneurial noise,

noise canceling headphones of all the haters, all the people that the naysayers, right? - Yeah. - And really, and the other thing that I was alluding to is the fact that we lost two and a half million dollars, right?

Because we did other investments outside of our healthcare business, which, you know, for successful with that. But we said, you know, let's just try to invest in other things. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Every other thing we invested in, it's just, you learn.

- You learn also, right? - But those were big lessons to learn, though. - Yes, yeah. - 'Cause that was a whole lot that we had lost. - Hey, it's a tough game.

- But knowing that it's a tough game, like, you know, what is it, like 97% of startups fail, right? - So, I mean, you guys, and they do, yeah. - Yeah. - I started, they do.

- They do. - All those startups fail, until we got to the one that didn't fail. - Yeah. - Exactly. - But at least that events, the first you don't see,

that's yourself, I'll try again. - It's people who, you know. - How do people find you with your consulting business?

Also your healthcare business?

- Yeah, I mean, just don't Instagram, you know.

So, she's @misses.gei and @bredrjiles and they can just send us messages, but because we like moved away from the consulting part of the business. - It'll make sure you say it. - We're focusing on, yeah, because we have to focus on IPO now, that like everybody who we currently consulted,

we kind of had to close that part off, because contractually we just had to move forward with the agencies that we have. But, you know, we don't mind just sending like, you know, different referral companies and they can go with,

they can still consult them whatever state they're in to be able to help them build a home healthcare business. - Yeah, yeah. - 'Cause it's really like one of the top industries to be in, like his down.

- Yeah.

I never went over this in the show,

but how does being a black power couple, right? How does that factor in, right?

I mean, in terms of what you guys do for the community, right?

I mean, a lot of African American businesses, right? You don't really see so many entrepreneurs, maybe that are of color, right? It's kind of growing now, but does that play any, does that play into anything with your story?

- Oh, in a major way. So we're all about giving, like with her background, she always wanted to be able to give, like, to the extent that like people understand that there's somebody there to support you.

So for us, we do, like, massive getbacks. - Nice, we're super serious about that. Like, going into the grocery stores, like, giving out $40,000 worth of groceries, which I just did, like, this past, like a few months ago.

And we, yeah, we did the grocery store giveaway for like 500 people. We went to the gas station, just randomly shut it down, pay for everybody's gas in the entire gas station. It was like 200 something people there.

- Amazing.

- And then, what's the restaurant's pay for everybody's food there?

And then also did the homeless giveaway. We went to one of the homeless parks

and gave them, like, essential items, sleeping bags,

cash in their bags, all that stuff. And then we did, like, a huge rent giveaway. We're so many people were struggling and couldn't pay their rent. And then we basically just told everybody

in the entire building, we're paying everybody's right in the entire building, and they exploded. - It was like this. - What's the, it was like, what? Y'all don't pay it all our rent.

I'll tell 'em all the tears. People pass it out, fall down, like, all that stuff. - Wow. - It was insane. It was beautiful though, you know?

Like, 'cause it's beautiful. - It shows the impact of, like, you know, how much you can give back and help others who were in, like, you know, different situations, but then that makes them excited about the fact

that, hey, you know, if y'all were able to do it, then it shows us, like, what we could achieve ourselves if we try to work hard like you guys. - It's a nice, what inspiring story, right?
