- 0:00And you really don't need to go to college to get a good liberal education.
- 0:03I'm doing a study with Benjamin Franklin right now, and you know,
- 0:05one of the one of the greatest contributors intellectually to our civilization. He didn't
- 0:10go to college, but there's a process that he developed on how to learn
- 0:13things. And I'm developing a program right now called Benjamin Franklin Forum where you
- 0:17don't need to go to college to get this great education. It's all sitting
- 0:21there on books in the library, or on disc or online. You're listening
- 0:24to carry Lets's Financial Survival Network, where you get valuable information you just can't
- 0:30find anywhere else to thrive in today's trying times. You need the Financial Survival
- 0:36Network now more than ever. Go to Financial Survival and Network dot com and

- 0:51welcome you are listening to watching the Financial Survival Network. I'm your host carry
- 0:56Lets. It's mid August, literally the midpoint of which means summer will soon
- 1:02be behind us. But this is a great time if you've got kids going
- 1:07to college, if you're worrying about how to pay for them, if you
- 1:11have relatives thinking of college. All of these things you really need to hear
- 1:15from my next guest, doctor Cooney Beasley. Doctor Beasley, you've been helping
- 1:23people for over forty years to reach their college goals. I assume things have
- 1:27changed quite a bit in the past forty years, because forty years ago,
- 1:33I went to law school and I think it cost me a grand total of
- 1:37fifteen thousand dollars, not including accommodations, room and board, and I literally
- 1:44made back my tuition. I doubled the return of my investment in six months
- 1:49and the rest of his history. As they say, So, things are
- 1:53a little bit different now, aren't they. Doctor. Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:57Well, forty years ago, the average American family could, the average American
- 2:01family could buy their house, buy their two cars, and put their three
- 2:05kids to college on their salary without without loans. Yeah. Now your average
- 2:09drugs are can't even do that, you know. Yeah, well, man,
- 2:15they talk to me, they can do that. Okay, That's what
- 2:19we know. That's what we focus on. We have a lot of strategies
- 2:22on how to take the pinch out of the cost of college. Right,
- 2:25So, I see, like since twenty eleven you said you're you're You and
- 2:30your team have helped students get over three hundred million dollars in scholarships and grants
- 2:37for all of the best schools. Hey, but not everybody is supposed to
- 2:40go to Harvard or Yale, are they? No? No, there's plenty
- 2:44of good schools out there. You know, a lot of people try to
- 2:49place a little too much vanity on schools and are willing to pay the vanity
- 2:53premium for a school, and a lot of the vanity schools, your ROI
- 2:58will never reach zero. You're going to be in a negative roy for the
- 3:00rest of your life most of the time, right, especially if you don't
- 3:05bother to graduate. That's right, That's right. That's a sixty percent of
- 3:08students don't make it, and so all they have is some college credit and
- 3:12a lot of college debt. You know, I hate to go back in
- 3:15the day when I went to school, but we had these things we call
- 3:20them perennial students, and they just kept grinding through, generating tuition and fees
- 3:28for the institution, but they never got the benefit of an education. Now
- 3:35I think people realize that's not really a great course. But hey, if
- 3:38you've if you've entered college and you stayed there for like, say two years,
- 3:44a year and a half, you could have amassed enormous debt and then
- 3:49you drop out, you're still responsible for it. There's no guarantee that you
- 3:53only have to pay back if you graduate here. Yeah, that's right.
- 3:58I mean again, most of the college debt or not, I'm gonna say
- 4:00most, A significant portion of college debt is held by people who did not
- 4:03finish college. So another interesting thing is even people who do graduate from colleges,
- 4:12if you go to the wrong college and take the wrong thing. The
- 4:15statistics are online. I don't gave me the database, but well, right,
- 4:24no, I'm gonna I'm gonna crash that one. Well, okay,
- 4:29when you look at the average earnings, there's database average earnings of graduates from
- 4:35every college in the country, and then percentage that have defaulted on their student
- 4:41loan debt, and you know, it's kind of shocking. So is it
- 4:46does it always benefit you to go to college? Well, it depends Statistically,
- 4:51that says that you're going to make more money going to college as a
- 4:56norm if you're in the mid line band, yes, okay, but you're
- 4:59some of your richest people your Bill Gates and your Steven Jobs and those people
- 5:02they dropped out a lot. Yeah, Zuckerberg, You've got a lot of
- 5:05people who were very entrepreneurial. I mean, I go from the fact that
- 5:11you know, I have two doctoral degrees. There's a lot of people who
- 5:13make a lot more money than me. You don't have college degrees. I
- 5:15mean, my mother was an immigrant from Japan, couldn't read to write English,
- 5:17and died a millionaire. Okay, so there's a lot of ambition action
- 5:23doing the work that counts for that. So, uh, you know,
- 5:27it's good to have a college degree, but not necessarily required. I mean,
- 5:30I also follow mic rose perspective. You've got a lot of trades that
- 5:32make a lot more average plumber makes more money than than your average family practice
- 5:36doctor. Yeh, dirty jobs. Hey. Yeah. You know. You
- 5:41know who did graduate from college and did get an advanced degree. Elon Musk,
- 5:46Yeah, Elon Musk, and and and but he stopped he once he
- 5:49realized that he had reached his potential and gaining education, he dropped out of
- 5:54a PhD program and went to business. Right. But point being that,
- 6:00you know, this romanticized notion of I'm in college I'll drop off and I'll
- 6:05become the next Bill Gates or Mark Zuperberg's ingenuous. I hear that a lot
- 6:14because and they'll say, you know, Zuckerberg didn't do it. Stephen Jobs,
- 6:16I said, okay, then let me go to your garage and see
- 6:18where you got the next Apple computers. Are you building it? Okay?
- 6:23Let me go look at your software that you developed. Okay. Some of
- 6:25these people, they were gifted, and a lot of the people, for
- 6:29example, a lot of people that you know went on the Zuckerbergs and people
- 6:31who went to Harvard. Harvard attracted them because they weren't looking for to make
- 6:36them smarter, they were looking to keep them there for four years and then
- 6:41as they launched in their career they would be part of the Harvard legacy because
- 6:45a lot of colleges will will recruit based on legacy that this kid has promised
- 6:49and is going to be a donor later. So here's a question for your
- 6:54doctor, what is the purpose of a college education? Well, it's multi
- 7:02number one. A lot of people go to college just to enlighten their intellectual
- 7:05capacity. Micro will admit to that he's got a degree in philosophy. Uh,
- 7:11some people go because they need a technical background. If you're going to
- 7:14be an engineer, you need to go to college. Okay, you're going
- 7:15to be a doctor, you're gonna need to go to college. You're gonna
- 7:17be Dennis, you need to go to college. You gotta and business.
- 7:23If you're going to get certifications in business, you're going to be an accountant,
- 7:26you need to go to college. If you're going to be an entrepreneur,
- 7:29you don't need to go to college. In fact, I I tend
- 7:30to think that if you are really an entrepreneur, college may be a hindrance.
- 7:35Yeah, I can. I can see your point there. I will
- 7:39fourth generation entrepreneur. But I also went to law school and uh, you
- 7:44know, did other stuff. But in my case, and in my case,
- 7:48none of my I mean, I have a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
- 7:53I've never busted anybody, never go to parking ticket. I have a
- 7:56master's in business and I got that because I was leaving the service and I
- 8:00needed to have some sort of credentials that ran into the business world. Ironically,
- 8:03when I went to the business world, I was hired for what I
- 8:05did in the Army, not because I had an MBA and then my first
- 8:07doctorate is in Greek and Hebrew. Nobody's asked me to be their rabbi.
- 8:11My second doctor in urban and the second one is in urban and public administration.
- 8:16No one's asked me to be their mayors. So academically I'm a failure,
- 8:20all right, So twenty two years of college down the drink. Did
- 8:22you catch that story? It was like, right around the time of the
- 8:26financial collapse, this guy had gotten a he went back to college, went
- 8:31into death, and he got a degree in puppetry. And then he was
- 8:35outraged because he couldn't find major career opportunities in puppetry. I guess, I
- 8:43guess Sesame Street didn't want I don't I don't remember that story. I don't
- 8:48know where you get a degree in puppetry. So what about useless degrees,
- 8:52Well, there's no degrees that are quote unquote useless. You may have high
- 8:58expectations for some you know, women's studies is not a degree that you get
- 9:01expecting to make a lot of money out of some of those, some of
- 9:05the fufu degrees. But again a lot of people don't go into the field
- 9:11of their degrees unless you're in the technical field. Most people don't go into
- 9:13their degree field, except maybe if you're in business or communication or something like
- 9:18that. I mean again, I'm in this field. Of all things I've
- 9:22I've taught in fourteen different areas at the graduate level. Some of them have
- 9:26been in business, but I haven't teached I've never taught a course in criminal
- 9:28justice. I have taught a course in Greek, and I have taught public
- 9:33administration. But by and large, you know, my business now has nothing
- 9:37to do with my degree fields other than the fact that I managed to go
- 9:41to college twenty two years and only pay for one semester, which is pretty
- 9:43good. Yeah. So, so the idea of becoming more worldly, better
- 9:50rounded person liberal education when it actually meant something. You know, my daughter
- 9:58she wounded up going be you and to the College of General Studies, and
- 10:03she complained for two years that she had to stay there. But she learned
- 10:07how to write, the you know, really read purpose all these things.
- 10:15So sometimes you think you're learning something that's a real pain, but it really
- 10:20is the best thing you could have done, and you really don't need to
- 10:22go to college to get a good liberal education. I'm doing a study with
- 10:26Benjamin Franklin right now, and you know, one of the one of the
- 10:28greatest contributors intellectually to our civilization. He didn't go to college, but there's
- 10:33a process that he developed on how to learn things. And I'm developing a
- 10:37program right now called Benjamin Franklin for him where you don't need to go to
- 10:39college to get this great level education. It's all sitting there on books in
- 10:43the library or on disc or online. Yeah, it's it's all there.
- 10:46I mean, you know, I missed out on a bunch of classic books
- 10:52when I was growing up in school, high school and such. Some of
- 10:56them I didn't read and I just wasn't into it. And I went back
- 11:00and read those books sometimes I did audio books. And so the concept though
- 11:07I find in America, I think many of you out there, I think
- 11:09that just because you graduate from college or graduate school, you're done learning.
- 11:15Isn't it true, though, that all going to school does is give you
- 11:18the tools to find out what you need to learn once you get out into
- 11:20the job market. Yeah, that's that's one of the purposes of going to
- 11:24colleges. You get the tools to read, you get the tools to learn
- 11:28how to write. I mean, I remember I was teaching a political science
- 11:31class, and I was requiring these types of students turn into monograph each class
- 11:35period. And I had this girl come up and complain. He says,
- 11:37why are we writing all these papers? I thought this was a government class
- 11:39and not an English class. And I said, young lady, you take
- 11:43composition so that you can write papers for the other classes. And you know,
- 11:46and and a lot of people who go to college really don't have a
- 11:50concept or what their room is supposed to really supposed to gain out of college.
- 11:52I didn't gain that until I was in my PhD program staying here.
- 11:56Well, my thing was wasn't serious till I took a semester off. I
- 12:03was ill. I came back and I went to night school, and I
- 12:07was surrounded by all these students who, most of them first one in their
- 12:13family to go to college, and they were going to college to get a
- 12:16degree, whether it was accounting or whatever, to further improve their career and
- 12:22job prospects. And they were so much more serious than the day students that
- 12:28you know, it was just a much more intellectually stimulating environment. Even though
- 12:35they had worked a full day of work and now they were in school,
- 12:39trying to you know, to get ahead. That's that's what I did.
- 12:43I mean when I got my master's degree, I was on active duty in
- 12:46the army. I went to school at night and there was seven of us
- 12:48who doubled up. We finished our NBA in fifty weeks. We doubled up
- 12:52work together, got through it. Went to school at night, and then
- 12:54for the rest of my my graduate degrees, I always in school at night.
- 12:58Went again, You're there with more serious people the day students were you
- 13:03tend to tended to be still a little more cology and you want to use
- 13:07that worst so much partiers, But they didn't take it as seriously. But
- 13:11the guys at night, I mean, I mean, I remember some of
- 13:15my public administrations class I had when I was sitting there with an assistant city
- 13:18managers from Dallas, director of the Dart system. I mean, there were
- 13:20some pretty pretty heavy hitters. I'm chief of police from one of the suburbs,
- 13:26so you know, but these people were serious about learning this and getting
- 13:28a better education. Yeah, hey, I remembering their prospects. In law
- 13:33school, I had a guy who was the head of the Army Corps of
- 13:37Engineers for like New York State and the whole northeast. He was a general
- 13:43and he said, you know, I'm going to law school because most of
- 13:46the problems I have now have nothing to do with engineering. It's all legal.
- 13:52Therefore, that's why I'm here. He was pretty amazing. So so
- 13:58how do you get to go to school for free? Well, well,
- 14:01we're very simple. You. First thing we look at is metrics, that's
- 14:05uh grades, test scores, class rank. And I want to I want
- 14:11to expel this myth about test optional. Okay, except for the state schools
- 14:16in California, it is still important to get good test scores. I don't
- 14:20care what they say. People are using this as an it's used to blow
- 14:22off test scores. But the common data set, that's the data set that
- 14:26all the colleges report in that if your test scores are in that middle fifty
- 14:31percent band, what they what they have that your prospects of being admitted are
- 14:35half again better if if you have test scores in that band. That's just
- 14:41the statistics, and the people sit there and try to poopoo. This is
- 14:43now what happens. But these test optional things, particularly when you're doing high
- 14:46profile schools, your Stanfords and your princess and stuff. They now have a
- 14:52lower acceptance rate because the number of people who applied have doubled, the same
- 14:56number of people get in, but the percentage goes down because you've doubled the
- 14:58number of people who are who are not sending in test scores. They're applying
- 15:01on a wing and a prayer, and it becomes a I mean, I
- 15:05think I think one of the colleges said they there revenue increased with seven million
- 15:11on application fees because so many more people are doing the wing in the prayer
- 15:15a bit and uh, and they think that there's an easy way to do
- 15:18it. We don't have to do tests. I mean, I've had to
- 15:20deal with heads of heads of prep academies and they said, well, we
- 15:22don't need to do TESTA. Yes, you do. They're not keeping up
- 15:26with the information, so test scores are important. I mean, and if
- 15:28you and eighty five percent of the colleges in the country will admit you and
- 15:33scholarship you on metrics alone. I mean, at University of Alabama, a
- 15:39three point five and a thirty two act will get you one hundred and twelve
- 15:41thousand dollars in scholarship money. Automatically. Wow, that's remarkable. Well yeah,
- 15:50so yeah, this whole thing of getting rid of the tests, I
- 15:54just think is wrong. Yeah, the tests. There's a reason they give
- 15:58tests. Yeah, you gotta have you got to have a common denominator because
- 16:03with all the great inflation that goes on and the weighted GPA stuff like,
- 16:07there's no way of figuring out somebody is really ready for college and the tests.
- 16:12The tests aren't the best thing you can do, but that's the best
- 16:15thing that we have right now. Uh. And SAP scrambling right now with
- 16:19their new test. I'm not a big fan of the SAP. I lean
- 16:22more to ACT. It's a more legitimate test. Yeah. Well, it's
- 16:27just like IQ tests. There is no better predictor of success in life than
- 16:33IQ tests, whether you like it or not. It's the truth of the
- 16:37matter. And all tests indirectly reflect the IQ, don't they in a sense?
- 16:47Yes? Okay, but you can't say that I can raise you know,
- 16:49because I help somebody raise their SAT score four hundred points, I don't
- 16:52necessarily help them raise their IQ. I've taught I've taught them how to,
- 16:57let's say, beat the test, which is what I really don't. I
- 17:00don't teach people math, reading or grammar or whatever on the tests. I
- 17:03teach him how to beat the test using inductive in deducted reason. I do
- 17:07this for the l s AT, the MCAT, the DAD, all of
- 17:10the other tests. Gre you can beat these tests. Oh yeah, I
- 17:12know, like go. Originally I took the l SATs and I thought I'm
- 17:17not a good test taker. And this is back when the scores where the
- 17:21hundreds. I got five fifty. I spent the summer at Stanley Kaplan.
- 17:27He was one of the first elsat guys in New York City, and I
- 17:33went up to seven hundred, and I don't think I got that much smarter,
- 17:36but I knew the hacks. I knew what to expect and to not
- 17:41get phased by the test, not let the tests psych me out. That's
- 17:45right, that's right. I mean my daughter was the top score at University
- 17:48of Texas Arlington. She was the top l s AT score. I ran
- 17:51the numbers on that two hundred and forty two people scored higher than her on
- 17:53the L set and then forty five thousand people took the L set that year.
- 17:57Remarkable, and it was just getting you know, being being able to
- 18:02hack the test. Yeah, so test taking is a whole art in itself.
- 18:07And unfortunately for my education, and I went to pretty good public schools,
- 18:14they didn't really ever teach us how to take tests. Most of them
- 18:18don't. Well, you know, SAT test is primarily well, just take
- 18:21practice tests. Well, if you just take practice tests over and over and
- 18:23over again, you're going to get the same result over and over and over
- 18:26again. That's a definition of insanity. Right. You've got to have a
- 18:30you've got to have a system of correcting your errors, learning from them,
- 18:34and developing techniques on Well, for example, we teach our students to answer
- 18:41the reading passages without doing the reading. And how to do math is a
- 18:47sixty to seventy percent of the math can be done with inductive and deductive reading
- 18:51without having a crunch numbers. Right, Hey, I just remember I took
- 18:56a real estate test at California number of years ago. Granted I was a
- 19:02lawyer for thirty something years, but I was by far the oldest person in
- 19:07that room, and I had done minimal studying. I did some I won't
- 19:12say I didn't. I took it cold, but I did minimal studying.
- 19:15As the first person out of there, out of that room in less than
- 19:19an hour and past it. So you know, it's really because I knew
- 19:26how to take the test, and it wasn't. You had experience, you
- 19:30have intelligence, You're always you're always going to do better when you have that.
- 19:33But I you know, I also help people take the interest licensing exams
- 19:38and whatever they that need to take a test on. I teach them how
- 19:41to disliked the test and beat the test. Yeah. Well, it's amazing
- 19:45when you get into a mindset where the test psychs you. I mean,
- 19:48I hear people in Florida here at six seven, eight times they took the
- 19:52real estate exam and failed. And I'm not saying it's an easy test by
- 19:56any stretch, especially if you have no burience with the law and real estate
- 20:03transaction. It's not an easy test. But thirty thousand people in Palm Beach
- 20:07County managed to pass it, and a lot of them have not a clue
- 20:11what they're doing. So interesting, So when you're doing test prep, what's
- 20:19the most important thing? You think, Well, it's it's actually dedicating the
- 20:23time and doing proper test prep. Now, we we follow a very strict
- 20:27processes we have you. We have you take the test non timed, okay,
- 20:32because we don't try to do the timing and learning test taking techniques because
- 20:36it's like trying to change a tire with the car's rulings. It's not very
- 20:38good. Strate So first we'll get good and then we'll get fast. So
- 20:42we have them go through when we train them on all the little hacks you
- 20:45know how to understand. We'll look at the last digit or look for semi
- 20:49colons and periods and think there's little hacks that you do right. And then
- 20:53then they take the test, and then they go back and they would do
- 20:56what's called a critique and all the answers they got wrong, they reverse engineer
- 21:00the answers, and then they go back and they said, Okay, I
- 21:03answered as incorrect. I took a because and you want to erase that neuropathway
- 21:07in your brain that got you that bad answer. And then you say,
- 21:11this is what I should have done to get the correct answer. And what
- 21:12you do is you bore a new pathway, so when you see that similar
- 21:15question again, you're going to get it right. Well, we have them
- 21:18take the same test three times. Now, there was a study done that
- 21:22they took two groups of people. One group took an sat the same test
- 21:26test one once, sent test one twice, test one three times, and
- 21:30another group took test one two three, and then it gave test four.
- 21:33The group that did the same test three times scored higher on test four because
- 21:37after a while they were able to recognize the patterns that were involved, they
- 21:41were able to observe and some people, once you get to that point,
- 21:44you're able to look at the question, figure it out real quick and intuitively
- 21:48get the correct answer using inductive and deductive reasoning. And that's what we teach
- 21:52them to do. And we have them repeat this with three tests, and
- 21:56then we work on timing. So they assume we do a lot of this
- 21:59online, and now it's all done online, we have to say, you
- 22:02know, one of the things that we do is we tell them mark,
- 22:03if you're using a paper test, mark your answers in the test booklets,
- 22:07and then at certain points you transfer your answers in batches and reduces coding error
- 22:11and you depending on the link of the test, you'll say three to five
- 22:15minutes, sort of going back and forth, trying to reorient every time every
- 22:18time you transfer answer you transferred batches as simple as that. One thing I
- 22:22find so interesting is the contrast between like an SAT or an ACT and a
- 22:30state licensing test. Your goals are totally different there. Sat els at whatever
- 22:37you want to get the highest score you possibly can achieve, and you get
- 22:41every point in the licensing test. All you want to do is get seventy
- 22:45or seventy five. You just want to pass. You just want to pass.
- 22:49And it's so different, Like because I'm studying the real estate exam and
- 22:53I'm getting upset because I'm not getting over ninety percent and I should be doing
- 22:59better than this, you know. And then I said, well, wait
- 23:02a second, the ninety I'll still pass it because you only need seventy or
- 23:06seventy five. And I realized I was focusing on the wrong the wrong priorities
- 23:11here. Yeah. Well, the difference also is that your real Estate exam
- 23:15is content origent. You have to know the material, Okay, you can't
- 23:18cipher through that test, whereas SAT and ACT their aptitude based and you can
- 23:23cipher through the test. If you learn to do the proper test taking techniques,
- 23:27you'll raise your score. So it's not so much content. I mean
- 23:30you have to know your basic math functions, and you have to know basic
- 23:33grammar. Right, you're not you're not. It's not you're not. Your
- 23:36grammar is not being tested. Your ability to cipher through your grammars being tested.
- 23:40Yeah, and then they got all those like little trick questions that they
- 23:42ask to trip you up. And those follow a distinct pattern too, don't
- 23:48they. Yeah, yeah, well ACT is notorious using me. SAT is
- 23:52notorious for that. ACT doesn't doesn't have a lot of trick questions. But
- 23:56that's how SAT makes its questions more difficult. They put more trick questions in
- 24:02and not so much that it's a higher level matheism, but they'll put it.
- 24:04And so we show them the different types of questions. We have what's
- 24:07called the bonehead answer or the landmine answer, you know, sucker answer,
- 24:11things like that that they put in there. So we have to make sure
- 24:15that students can recognize these upfront. I remember maybe it was the bar exam.
- 24:21They said, there's one question that you will see that you always know
- 24:26you know the answer too, and that is that they will give an example
- 24:30and then one of the things will be this is an example of the doctrine
- 24:34of the fruit of the poisonous tree you know theory. I mean you always
- 24:41knew instantly because nobody knew what the fruit of the poisonous tree theory was,
- 24:47but it was always in there. And yeah, I guess it's it's the
- 24:49same at all. They just put in those standard questions to trip you up,
- 24:55and once you see it, you smile, and that helps improve your
- 25:00confidence to a confidence with test taking is everything, isn't it? Well,
- 25:04that's that's part of it. And plus you know when I tell people how
- 25:08do I prepare for a test in college, and I go, you have
- 25:11to know the material? Okay, As I go back to mister Miyagi,
- 25:14best block is not be there, Okay, best best way for an academic
- 25:18test is know the material. There's no you know, there are certain test
- 25:21taking techniques you can do to make sure you don't screw up and make fewer
- 25:23mistakes, but if you're if you're taking in an English exam, you have
- 25:27to know the material. If you don't know the material, there's no substitute
- 25:30for knowing the material. Yeah, I remember with courses like you know,
- 25:33I'd look at the I'd go to the back of the chapter at the questions
- 25:37first before I did anything, and then I would pay very close attention to
- 25:42what the teachers said and trying to figure out what questions they were going to
- 25:47ask on the exam. That way, it was a lot easier, you
- 25:51know, I didn't have to go through learning a bunch of stuff that wasn't
- 25:55necessarily productible. We have a course, it's called Learning Dynamics on how to
- 25:57do how to take notes, how to book notes, how to take class
- 26:00notes, and where they overlap, where your questions on the tests are going
- 26:03to be. And if you know the questions on the test, or you
- 26:06write questions that are tougher than the questions on the test, then it's then
- 26:08then you're going to know the material. That's we have an entire process how
- 26:11to read, study, test and write better, faster and easier. You
- 26:15know, if people use this system. I mean, we've had kids take
- 26:18off. I've had kids graduate from high school as youngest thirteen. I've had
- 26:22people graduate from college as young as sixteen. I had nineteen year olds get
- 26:25into med school. I had an eighteen year old sit for the California Bar
- 26:27amazing, and you know, but now these are not typical kids, but
- 26:32they were very ambitious barn Burner kids, and they were they were suffocating in
- 26:37a conventional school environment. Understandable, I know that. Feeling quite well and
- 26:42all right, so hey, just tell us how we connect with you,
