| 0:02.1 | We look for students that are entrepreneurial. We don't care what their GPA is. We don't care what their major is. It literally makes no difference. We just want someone that has made a dollar with entrepreneurship before. We don't even care. We just want them to have that gene. We can't make them an entrepreneur and we don't want to try. So they have to have the gene. Furthermore, then we want them to have three qualities. We want them to be humble, just willing to learn |
| 0:24.6 | sponge, moldable. We want them to be grateful, just grateful for the opportunity. There's a direct |
| 0:29.7 | correlation between kids that are really grateful to have been chosen and their success. And then |
| 0:34.3 | the third is energy. We want them to have high energy. So if they meet those |
| 0:38.7 | criteria, then we give them three business ideas to choose from. We give them a salary, |
| 0:43.4 | give them a timeline, and we fund the idea itself. And we take majority equity in the business. |

| 0:54.7 | successful. |

| 1:28.1 | called co-founders. He started and sold five seven to eight figure businesses and five different |
| 1:33.5 | industries and loves the game of business. I love doing this episode with Chris. He's a super |
