1:20
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. Anyway, please continue, gentlemen.
1:23
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely so. I met Bachi a few years ago.
1:27
Speaker 6: I've been in education space over eighteen years, and I
1:30
Speaker 6: had a tagline, brilliance to spread out equally. Opportunity is
1:34
Speaker 6: not God, the missing nobody with brilliance, but opportunity.
1:37
Speaker 7: There was that disparity.
1:39
Speaker 6: So being in a public school system and executive director,
1:42
Speaker 6: nonprofit organization, everything that had to deal with youth and education,
1:47
Speaker 6: it was a disparity from the haves and the have nots,
1:50
Speaker 6: and it was like, what can we do to try
1:52
Speaker 6: to close this this gap as far as access.
1:56
Speaker 7: And I just had a.
1:57
Speaker 6: Wild vision one day and it was how can we
2:00
Speaker 6: bring well? One exposing kids to careers, because you can't
2:04
Speaker 6: be what you don't know exists. So that was number one.
2:07
Speaker 6: So you can't be what you don't know exists. So
2:11
Speaker 6: to that end, we all have different gifts and talents
2:13
Speaker 6: and they align with a career. But if you have
2:16
Speaker 6: no exposure to that career, then how can you be that?
2:19
Speaker 7: Right?
2:20
Speaker 6: So, the first thing that I did when I was
2:22
Speaker 6: working in the education system, in the public school system,
2:25
Speaker 6: was I created this career library of six hundred careers
2:28
Speaker 6: and they would directly correlate it to different subject content.
2:31
Speaker 6: So if you ask a kid that was great in math, like, hey,
2:34
Speaker 6: what do you want to be when you grow up?
2:36
Speaker 6: You know, I said number one question. Number one ask
2:38
Speaker 6: question to kids, what do you want to be when
2:39
Speaker 6: you grow up? Again, there's your caveat. You can't be
2:42
Speaker 6: what you don't know exists. So to that end, it
2:45
Speaker 6: was like, you have a kid who's great at math,
2:48
Speaker 6: and yet all they know is a banker or an accountant.
2:52
Speaker 5: So yeah, you can't be what you don't but.
2:54
Speaker 7: You don't what you don't know.
2:56
Speaker 6: So essentially, I just started doing a bunch of research
2:59
Speaker 6: and I started looking at the different subject content from e. L. A.
3:03
Speaker 6: The history to math, and I was aligning the different
3:07
Speaker 6: careers with basically those subject contents. And then I was
3:12
Speaker 6: exposing those kids that had a little mentoring program and
3:15
Speaker 6: I was exposing those kids to the.
3:17
Speaker 7: Different career pathways.
3:18
Speaker 6: Then I had another wild idea of all right, what
3:22
Speaker 6: if we could college tour and not just college tour
3:25
Speaker 6: but introduced kids of like tech schools and trade schools.
3:28
Speaker 6: Think about touring.
3:29
Speaker 1: That's where it's at. Bro them tech schools and them
3:31
Speaker 1: trades grades. That's a very misunder like promoted. That's not
3:36
Speaker 1: promoted enough.
3:37
Speaker 7: I've never even.
3:38
Speaker 3: Heard about that.
3:39
Speaker 8: When I was in the South, when the ac be
3:44
Speaker 8: going out, the folks be getting the bad Yeah, I
3:49
Speaker 8: know several people who know how to fix the age
3:51
Speaker 8: vac and do the free on and all that.
3:53
Speaker 5: That's big business business.
3:56
Speaker 4: There's plenty of successful people who didn't go to a
3:59
Speaker 4: traditional college university.
4:01
Speaker 7: They went to a trade school.
4:03
Speaker 4: And but what people don't understand is a lot of
4:05
Speaker 4: times people think if you didn't go to the you
4:08
Speaker 4: know U G A or historically black college, but you
4:12
Speaker 4: went to a trade school, that you're not gonna be successful.
4:15
Speaker 7: What's what's the trade school?
4:16
Speaker 5: Trade school?
4:16
Speaker 4: When you learn how to do a trade, you could
4:18
Speaker 4: be an electric to school electric to be an h
4:23
Speaker 4: you go to big you go to school for that
4:25
Speaker 4: specific trade.
4:27
Speaker 1: But the thing is, you know, you get the certified,
4:30
Speaker 1: You get the certification.
4:31
Speaker 4: To get the certification, and you're going to school specifically
4:34
Speaker 4: for that reason, and that's what you're going to do
4:35
Speaker 4: as a career, correct, got yea. So probably a lot cheaper.
4:40
Speaker 1: If they had a radio school, we know we're gonna
4:42
Speaker 1: go there, and we know after we're done, we're probably
4:45
Speaker 1: gonna get a radio station job.
4:46
Speaker 7: Oh that's fire.
4:47
Speaker 6: They used to have, like Connecticut School of Broadcasting. Yeah,
4:51
Speaker 6: you know, I don't know what happened to that, but it.
4:52
Speaker 5: Was one in Orlando. I forget what it's called. I
4:55
Speaker 5: know what happens for music, social media full sell.
4:58
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's the log social media, but
5:00
Speaker 4: that's that's why, you know. I wanted to be a
5:04
Speaker 4: part of this because this is this opportunity and the
5:07
Speaker 4: chance it's going to give a lot of kids like
5:09
Speaker 4: myself who didn't get the goal. I went to one
5:11
Speaker 4: college tour to Hampton and found out that my scholarship
5:14
Speaker 4: that I was supposed to have wasn't a real scholarship,
5:16
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. But we didn't have the
5:18
Speaker 4: means to go travel here and go travel there. So
5:20
Speaker 4: with this company, when you can bring the college tour
5:22
Speaker 4: to you, that's amazing, Like.
5:23
Speaker 5: Say the name of the company again.
5:25
Speaker 7: So college match pros, College.
5:28
Speaker 1: Pros, and you've got specialize in giving people the tour
5:32
Speaker 1: the college or the trade school is a trade school.
5:35
Speaker 6: That you get trade trade schools is included as well.
5:38
Speaker 1: The experience of going there and seeing it virtually.
5:41
Speaker 6: Virtually so you put on the virtual reality headset and
5:44
Speaker 6: essentially what we've done is we've brought the college campuses
5:49
Speaker 6: to you. So what happens is is we go and
5:52
Speaker 6: film so all a. So when our first initially had
5:56
Speaker 6: the vision, it was like, how are we going to
5:58
Speaker 6: do this? So we started off with the HBC use.
6:00
Speaker 6: So with that raised the money, got in contact with
6:04
Speaker 6: a bunch of the HBCUs Hampton, Howard Morgan, State fam
6:09
Speaker 6: You Tuskegee, and we started going and we were filming.
6:13
Speaker 6: And then with filming we started what I started doing
6:15
Speaker 6: was going into these different local high schools and I
6:18
Speaker 6: was bringing the VR head sets, the virtual reality head sets,
6:21
Speaker 6: and kids were put in the morning, they were tripping
6:24
Speaker 6: because it literally is as if you're actually there on campus.
6:27
Speaker 6: So I was doing that so many times that Harvard
6:31
Speaker 6: alumni group had heard about what we were doing. A
6:35
Speaker 6: local Harvard alumni group that was here and they sent
6:39
Speaker 6: us out to Boston, Boston Preparatory School, and we had
6:42
Speaker 6: like one hundred and forty juniors that toured, so we
6:45
Speaker 6: had thirty VR headsets that Meta heard about us. So
6:48
Speaker 6: that's when we got the partnership with Meta and then
6:52
Speaker 6: the partnership say that part partnership with Meta.
6:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, so Meta's Facebook, the.
6:58
Speaker 6: Instagram, Yes, Shadow glasses right right, shout out to Susan
7:02
Speaker 6: over there, and Meta shout out the sauce.
7:09
Speaker 7: So we took the meeting.
7:10
Speaker 6: We took the meeting with with UH with Meta, and
7:13
Speaker 6: they vetted us for a year and it was like,
7:16
Speaker 6: all right, so this is great, but the application, how
7:19
Speaker 6: you built it, how we essentially built it. Think about
7:22
Speaker 6: it like like building making a cake, if you will.
7:25
Speaker 6: We had the box and we just added the flour.
7:28
Speaker 6: Meta was like, can't do that. You gotta build it
7:30
Speaker 6: from scratch. So you're like, oh man, so now we
7:33
Speaker 6: you know, we're talking. I'm thinking, might have boatloads of
7:37
Speaker 6: money or what have you, you know, And it was
7:41
Speaker 6: it was, it was, it was a little bit, you know,
7:43
Speaker 6: but we learned a lot in that experience, and they
7:46
Speaker 6: connected us, they allowed us to uh, they gave us
7:49
Speaker 6: three different developers that were Meta certified, and we work
7:52
Speaker 6: with those developers, and then now we have what's called
7:55
Speaker 6: the soul Source, meaning that we're the only company with
7:59
Speaker 6: Meta that is providing college tours and the entire country, you.
8:05
Speaker 7: Know, only the only Yeah, so we're a soul source company.
8:09
Speaker 1: So for someone who's watching this interview and this is
8:12
Speaker 1: this is good because this is gonna get shared a lot.
8:15
Speaker 1: What how why should someone you know tap into you
8:22
Speaker 1: guys right now?
8:24
Speaker 7: Oh, that's a that's a great question. So we we
8:26
Speaker 7: actually have big news.
8:27
Speaker 6: So we started working with school districts and we were
8:31
Speaker 6: selling the virtual reality head set to the school districts
8:34
Speaker 6: and letting them put on their own virtual reality tours.
8:37
Speaker 6: So we became a venda New York Department of Education. Yeah,
8:42
Speaker 6: it's the largest school district in the entire country, you know,
8:46
Speaker 6: big shout out to Principal Tours in the South Bronx.
8:49
Speaker 7: He was the first one.
8:50
Speaker 6: Because to get in with New York Department of Education,
8:53
Speaker 6: it's like trying to get in the mafia. They gotta
8:55
Speaker 6: endorse you, you gotta do what's called the penetration tests
8:59
Speaker 6: through IBM, where basically I know that sounds crazy, right,
9:03
Speaker 6: but What happens is they, because they're the larger school
9:06
Speaker 6: district in the entire United States, right, they press your
9:10
Speaker 6: application to see if they could break it. So if
9:13
Speaker 6: they had sixty or seventy thousand students on the application
9:16
Speaker 6: at once, is that going to slow it down. It's
9:20
Speaker 6: called the pin tests, you know for the techies they'll know.
9:23
Speaker 5: So you you yeah, yeah.
9:24
Speaker 6: So we went we went through the pen test and
9:27
Speaker 6: that was about a year and a half and then.
9:29
Speaker 5: We got to took a year and a half the
9:31
Speaker 5: whole process. It's you had to have a lot of
9:34
Speaker 5: patience with this.
9:34
Speaker 6: Oh absolutely, between them LA Unified, shout out the Oak
9:39
Speaker 6: Park School District and uh Detroit just came back from Detroit,
9:43
Speaker 6: shout out to them.
9:45
Speaker 7: There their adopters as well.
9:48
Speaker 5: Georgia coming.
9:49
Speaker 7: That's a plan. We're working on it.
9:51
Speaker 6: However, what we what we do have right now is
9:54
Speaker 6: we're opening the hub. So now parents can bring their
9:57
Speaker 6: kids to tour colleges at.
9:59
Speaker 5: Our hub and up in Atlanta, yes, or in Georgia.
10:02

Speaker 1: Hey, hey make sure brought Yeah, we'll be there.
10:11
Speaker 5: We'll be there.
10:12

10:15
Speaker 4: bring your kids to the Hub and they can experience
10:19
Speaker 4: the Virtual Headset College Tour.
10:20
Speaker 5: When's that happening?

Speaker 6: probably not even heard of in Georgia, I mean some
10:42

10:46
Speaker 6: twenty five plus HBCUs.
10:48
Speaker 7: So I mean we need to be there. Yeah.
10:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes it happen, That's that's what.
10:52
Speaker 3: That's dope because a lot of a lot of you know,
10:55
Speaker 3: black kids can't afford to be traveling and going to
10:58
Speaker 3: different colleges and you know, now people can just virtually see.
11:02
Speaker 4: It and we have you know, for those who, of course,
11:06
Speaker 4: we want you to come to the Hub and experience
11:08
Speaker 4: it with the VR headset because the immersive experience is different.
11:11
Speaker 4: Like you when you put that headset on, bro, you
11:13
Speaker 4: feel like you're on campus, like, it's crazy. Man. We're
11:15
Speaker 4: gonna let y'all try it too. But then also for
11:19
Speaker 4: some reason, if you can't make it, we also have
11:20
Speaker 4: the subscription process, so you can go to our website
11:23
Speaker 4: and you can subscribe for a small fee and then
11:26
Speaker 4: you'll be able to go online and do the towards there.
11:28
Speaker 4: So I do it with my son and my daughter.
11:30
Speaker 4: You know, they'll go online. Dad, I want to see
11:32
Speaker 4: what it's like at this school. I want to see
11:33
Speaker 4: what it's like this. The exposure is what it is,
11:36
Speaker 4: and exposure starts early. It's not just high school. You
11:39
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. You get exposed to college starting
11:41
Speaker 4: the elementary school. It's the process of knowing I want
11:45
Speaker 4: to go to school. I want to go to the
11:46
Speaker 4: trade school or even if you go on the I
11:49
Speaker 4: don't know if you mentioned it. If you go on
11:50
Speaker 4: our website, you can filter it so like you go
11:54
Speaker 4: to Westlake High School, you have a three point oh GPA,
11:57
Speaker 4: you made a ten fifty on the say T it'll
12:00
Speaker 4: filter it to the schools that you can be accepted for.
12:03
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, we got it buzzed down to the g PA.
12:06
Speaker 6: So I had two students.
12:08
Speaker 5: Past the tests that you.
12:12
Speaker 7: Penetration the biggest.
12:17
Speaker 6: Tests, so that the biggest It's interesting because when when
12:23
Speaker 6: I was in the school system. So just to throughout
12:27
Speaker 6: some some numbers as far as like the school counselors.
12:30
Speaker 6: It's something called the American School Counselor Association, and they
12:33
Speaker 6: report that it's four hundred and eight students to every
12:36
Speaker 6: one school counselor.
12:37
Speaker 7: So if you think.
12:38
Speaker 6: About that, you know, it's like kids to one American school.
12:43
Speaker 6: The American School Counselor Association, there's four hundred. The average
12:48
Speaker 6: number in high schools and the United States is four
12:51
Speaker 6: hundred and eight students to every one school counselor. Last year,
12:55
Speaker 6: loan students spent five minutes with their school counselor.
12:58
Speaker 7: That's it for the entire school year.
13:00
Speaker 6: So when you think about it, the top ten percent
13:02
Speaker 6: of kids would be fine, it's the ninety Yeah, So
13:04
Speaker 6: when you look at that, it's kind of like, all right, well,
13:07
Speaker 6: how can we help this?
13:08
Speaker 7: Right? Like, how can we help again this disparity.
13:11
Speaker 6: That's all kids, that's not just in the city or
13:14
Speaker 6: a rural that's that's all kids. So to that end,
13:18
Speaker 6: what we did was we worked with these developers from
13:23
Speaker 6: Georgia Tech, and we created the algorithm, and that algorithm
13:26
Speaker 6: you can put your GPA in, so if you're a
13:28
Speaker 6: C student, you can see all of the schools that
13:30
Speaker 6: you would match up with that taking you know what
13:32
Speaker 6: I mean.
13:33
Speaker 7: So you ain't even wasting your time.
13:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't want to waste your time. Yeah, because
13:38
Speaker 4: everybody charges for application.
13:39
Speaker 1: Feet right, I remember because in a while if that
13:44
Speaker 1: college application for a lot.
13:46
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, sure, if you if you're applying to a
13:50
Speaker 4: few colleges, you.
13:51
Speaker 7: Know what I'm saying.
13:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, okay, it's definitely it's definitely expensive. So I
13:56
Speaker 6: mean we looked at every factor, right, you know, we
13:59
Speaker 6: got the career component all right, as far as you know,
14:02
Speaker 6: and then you can itemize like I was saying, you know,
14:04
Speaker 6: if you're into math, you can see all of the
14:06
Speaker 6: all of the math careers you in the English Stem,
14:08
Speaker 6: steam whatever. And then it was like, all right, so
14:11
Speaker 6: we took care of that. Can't be what you don't
14:13
Speaker 6: know exist. Now let's let's look at this component of
14:17
Speaker 6: g PA because personally I was a C student and
14:20
Speaker 6: it wasn't because I couldn't do it. My dad died
14:23
Speaker 6: when I was in ninth grade.
14:24
Speaker 7: That messed me up.
14:25
Speaker 6: For like, my dad was there, like I had a
14:28
Speaker 6: great relationship with him, and at that time, counseling wasn't
14:31
Speaker 6: a thing. So I didn't really care about high school.
14:35
Speaker 1: As much like you when you had to go to
14:37
Speaker 1: counseling too.
14:38
Speaker 7: That Y're right.
14:39
Speaker 3: I have been to counseling when I was when I
14:42
Speaker 3: was in school, right go to counseling.
14:43
Speaker 5: So I was a man right now.
14:45
Speaker 7: It was something.
14:46
Speaker 6: But before like you know, I was coming up, you know, nineties,
14:50
Speaker 6: that wasn't that wasn't it. Like it wasn't it wasn't
14:53
Speaker 6: it wasn't it. So it wasn't that I couldn't do
14:56
Speaker 6: the work. It was I just lost my dude. So
14:59
Speaker 6: that point, I'm like, I got them sitting here with
15:02
Speaker 6: this two point five two point seven.
15:04
Speaker 7: And I'm like, what do I do? What do I do?
15:06
Speaker 6: And then so I mean I had a backup plan
15:09
Speaker 6: if it didn't work. I was just gonna say college
15:11
Speaker 6: ain't for me.
15:12
Speaker 1: So no, I got I got you and and see
15:16
Speaker 1: and now I was gonna ask you a question, but
15:19
Speaker 1: to pick a back what you're saying. That's why them
15:20
