A gentleman that worked in the journal apartment that was a supervisor in the facility at the time told my entire staff that he thought I was the craziest S.O.B. he'd ever met because I walked into Juvy and gave kids knives.

And he said, but it taught him a very valuable lesson, which is the kids responded to my belief in them and expectation that they

could succeed and they responded to that.

Welcome to an army of normal folks. I'm Bill Courtney. I'm a normal guy. I'm a

husband. I'm a father. I'm an entrepreneur and I've been a football coach in Inter City Memphis in the last part.

It accidentally led to an Oscar for the film about our team.

It's called Undefeded.

I believe our country's problems will never be solved by a bunch of fancy people in

nice suits talking big words that nobody understands on CNN and Fox but rather an army of normal folks us just you and me deciding hey I can

help that's what Chad Houser the voice we just heard is done

Chad was a restaurant owner and chef whose life was

forever changed when he was asked to teach eight young men in juvenile

attention how to make ice cream and he couldn't look away after that.

In 2015, Chad founded Cathay Momentum, now an award-winning Dallas restaurant that, get this, is run 100% by youth leaving the juvenile justice

system and their interns who not only get paid and trained in the restaurant business,

but they also benefit from 12 months of support that includes case management,

financial education, parenting classes, career exploration, and they can even go to

their very own school there.

They've walked alongside 1,000 youth in Dallas and are now expanding this incredible model across the country.

I really cannot wait for you to meet Chad right after these brief messages from our generous sponsors. Hello beautiful people I'm

I'm Sayita Garrett Grammy winner and two-time Oscar-nominated singer-songwriter

and passionate Nitter and now host of my very own show, The Upity Nitter Podcast, Celebrity Hobbies Uncovered.
