Welcome to the podcast, Alvin.

Hey, thank you so much for having me, sir.

It's a pleasure.

You know, it's funny.

I saw you a few years back. You gave a fantastic interview,

which I shared to, from, I think, American thought leaders, Jan Jekyllic, whose last name

was difficult to pronounce. And before getting into some of the topics we're going to

discuss, anything you want to tell us about the work you do, your background. Absolutely. Thank you, first of all, thank you so much for sharing that. And then it's an honor to be on your show. I've had a great time on a couple of times. I've been on American Thought Leaders. So I'm a president of courage as a habit. And our organization primarily does two things. The first thing is that we create these really

beautiful and easy to follow tools for parents, legislators, school board members who really want

to understand what's going on in government K-312 because it certainly is not the schools that we all

went to. And parents are finally seeing that, but there's a lot of lies and gas

lighting and deflections and false equivalencies and language contamination

we'll talk about all that today I'm sure and so our tools seek to cut through

all that so that parents understand what their children are being exposed to

seven hours a day five days a week for 13 years.

And so we really, we really focus on teaching parents at a very small level, because we know

that when you're a parent of school age children, you have very little time.

And so they don't have time to read long white papers and things of that nature.

So we try to give just a little bit of information just so that they feel confident that they can go in and fight for their children, protect your children. But we also have a lot of call to actions. We don't just talk about a problem. We say, look, but here's what you can do about it. Here's what you should do about it. You're, this is your, these are your children. You are the ultimate protector of your children. You know your children better than anyone else. And, you know, so we try to give those call to actions because we believe that if you just create outrage with no outlet and you end up having, you end up inadvertently creating hopelessness. And that's the last thing that we want. We don't want any Americans to feel hopeless about anything.
