We made it. It's game day, baby. It's surreal. It's real now, man. We've been waiting for so long, but our wait is finally almost over because we got a couple more hours to go, depending on what you're watching. But anyway, team keep it clean. It's time, man. It's time, man. I know your blood is boiling, is pumping, your heart's racing, and just that excitement, man, because it's about to be real now. No more talking. Like, well, I mean, we've got to do a little bit more talking now because we got some questions to answer. But after this video, no more talking, no more wondering, oh, how are they going to do? What are they going to know? We're about to watch the game today. So I'm excited about it. Something else that I'm excited about is this hoodie that I'm going to be wearing during the live stream, this road to Vegas hoodie from Heart of the City clothing. If you want yours, you can get yours ordered before the game, ordered after the game, ordered period. If you want yours, go click on the link in the description and use code engraving to get 20% off your order. So if you order two, if you order three, if you order four of them, use code engraving because the bigger your order, the bigger the percent off it is, well, not the percent off, but the bigger the dollars off it is because it's still 10%. Oh, excuse me, I'm tripping. 10% will be a lot.  So use code engraving. Team Keep It Clean. Let's get into it. Man, we got some great questions and we got some great questions from some great people. First off, I got to give a special shout out to some of the newest Team Keep It Clean patrons. Brooks became a patron three weeks ago. Arnold, Derek, AW Juice Man. I got Joshua, Carl and the newest Team Keep It Clean patron who just became a patron yesterday. My God, Darren. So shout out to everybody, all the new Team Keep It Clean patrons, all the old Team Keep It Clean patrons. I appreciate y'all big time. Now, let's get into these questions. First one came from my guy, Travis, who's been a patron for, oh, for five months. So I appreciate that, man. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, excuse me, for a year. I was reading the wrong thing. He's been a patron for a year, so I appreciate you. He said, hey, man, it's been a while since I did one of these questions. I hope you and the family are doing great. We are. We're doing real good, man. And I hope you're doing even better. And I hope we're doing, we're all doing even better in about eight, nine hours. But anyway, he said, do you think Marlon Humphrey and Ronny Stanley's time in Baltimore will come to an end in the near future based upon injuries and inconsistency? Love the content. Keep up the great work. Appreciate you, Travis. That's the question right there. It's crazy because Ronny Stanley's been playing a lot better toward the end of the year, but they've also been doing that rotation with Ronny Stanley, too.  So I do believe his time could come to an end soon. If not this offseason and certainly next offseason, but I think it could happen this offseason, especially depending on how things go in the postseason. Marlon Humphrey, this year has just been an off year with him with injuries. He's been hurt a lot this year. I've heard a lot of people say, oh, ever since he signed a contract, he's just been getting hurt all the time. He ain't been worth it. And he did miss, because a couple years ago, he missed the chunk of the end of the season when he went down in a Steelers game with a pec injury, I think. How did he do last year? Last year that he played a whole year? I think he did, but I don't even remember. No, last year wasn't the year where he got hurt, right? I don't think it was. Anyway, I can't even remember right now. My mind is like, I can't even remember right now because it's game day. So yeah, exactly. I'll get it. But anyway, I know a lot of people have been frustrated with Marlon Humphrey and all the time that he's been missing, but he's still a good cornerback. But I know this season has had a lot of people question his ability, question how good or how not good they think he is. But Marlon Humphrey, I don't think he's going anywhere. I don't think he's going anywhere at all. Ronnie Stanley, yes. Marlon Humphrey, no, I don't see it at all. A reason to worry. Next question came from my god, Michael. He said, hey, I hope you and the family are doing well and everything's going smoothly with the baby. I appreciate that. Thank you. He said, I have a question for you. I'm driving and I'm yelling at myself in the mirror. Why are they putting both top seed teams on the same day to play to play? Part of me thinks it's a setup. The other part of me thinks that's how it's always been. It just never paid. I just maybe never paid attention to it. Help me out. I'm struggling. So are you talking about the schedule? Honestly, I have not the only game that I know that happened on Saturday is the Ravens and the Texans. I know it's another NFC game happening that day, but I have not paid attention to which one it is because I've just been so focused and locked on on Ravens, Texas. All right. Oh, okay. The two number one seeds. So Ravens and Texans and 49ers and Packers. I mean, it's number one seed day versus number two seed day or wherever the Detroit Lions are. I'm not sure where they are, but yeah, it's, I mean, that's the, I don't think it's a big deal. It's just how the schedule ended up making it. I mean, but with the prime time games, though, the prime time games are for games with the bigger audiences. So the bigger audience is definitely 49ers and Packers, not Ravens and Texans. That's not a bigger audience between those two. And then in the second day, the bigger audience is Buffalo KC is definitely not Detroit and Tampa Bay. So it's about timing. It's about the market size and whatnot and who will bring in the bigger numbers. Next question came from my guy, Ronald. He said, what's up in first time question here and new to the community. I'm glad to be a part of it. And I appreciate your hard work. Hey, I appreciate you, Ronald. He said, now I've recently learned that Texans head coach, D'Amico Ryan's played alongside JJ Watt in the AFC Championship game versus the Ravens in 2011. We didn't play them in the AFC Championship in 2011. No, AFC Championship in 2011 was the 2011 season was against the Patriots, because that was the why I'd left. Then in the 2012 season, it was against the Patriots again. The Ravens just ran it back, they came right back, and then he ended up beating them that year. But we did play them in the wild card of the division, which one it was, where Jacobi Jones was helping us out. I think whichever one, Jacobi Jones came through for us. That was even before he was a Raven, but that's when he officially became a Raven before he officially became a Raven. Anyway, he said, how fascinating would it be to see these guys who are familiar with each other go edit on the coaching side? And do you think the history between the two will play a part? Sorry for being along with the Go Ravens. No, man, that wasn't long winded at all. JJ Watt, so you mean if JJ Watt like became a coach? That'll be something. That'd be different. I wonder if he is interested in culture. I wonder, because it's crazy, it really makes me feel kind of old, because I remember D'Amico Ryan, I remember watching him with the Texans, I remember playing with him and Madden. And it's like, man, like now he's a coach, man. It's crazy. Same thing with Gerard Mayo too. Another one, another linebacker turned into a coach, John Lynch. He was another one turned into a GM. Like he went from safety, Super Bowl champ with the box to a GM, the general manager of a football team and a good football team at that. So, hey, it's just crazy. You never know where life will take you. You never know what life will take these players and whatnot. And it's just, it's crazy to see it. Lamar Jackson's actual playoff record. Next question came from my guy, Ryan. He said, what's up, bro? I got a question. I need your expertise. I ain't got no expertise at all. But anyway, he said, isn't Lamar Jackson's actual one and isn't he actually one and two in the playoffs? The only games I recall him losing were the Chargers and the Titans in 2019 and 2020. Or the Chargers was in 2018 and the Titans, well, oh yeah, the year 2019 technically, but 2018 season. But yeah, you got it. He said, why are people counting the Bengals loss against him? Didn't Tyler Huntley lose that game? They're not counting that one. They're counting the Bills loss in 2020. Well, the year 2020, well, excuse me, the season 2020, but the year 2021. That's the one because he didn't finish that game, but he started the game. So that's why they count that loss on Lamar. He said, I get it. That playoff performance needs to improve, but I don't like him being criticized for something that he had no control over. Am I missing something? Counting, count, continue blessing. Man, my mind is just so gone right now. Continue blessings to you and the fan. Appreciate it, Ryan. But yeah, the game that everybody was talking about as a third loss is the one against the Bills where he started. And then he ended up leaving that game with a concussion. This should be a fun ride. Next question came from Elijah. He said, what's up in Graven? I hope you're in a family or doing well. I'm so excited for this Super Bowl run. I don't even know where to begin. I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but I'm already contemplating what path to the Super Bowl. I really want, first things first, we must take care of Texans, wrap up their season. I'm super confident. Mike, we have the defense well prepared for CJ Stroud and they will execute him to as close as, to perfection as possible. I really, really want the Bills for the AFC Championship because they knocked us out last time. It's not that I'm worried about my home, but I just feel it in my soul if we get Baltimore vs. KC and AFC Championship and we win, they will make a mountain of excuses for my home throwing shade on Lamar's first Super Bowl run. Look, whatever happens, I don't care. Like, straight up, man, I would not care. If Ravens obviously got to take care of Texans and then whether they got to go against the Bills, whether they got to go against the Chief, whoever, whatever, A, get it done. Get it done. If people want to make excuses and say, oh, well, this, whoa, well, that, oh, well, because of the, don't care. Don't care. So anyway, continue what he said. I would rather face the Bills because being that they are on a win streak plus the media is already hyping them up, making less excuses for that matchup. Now we all know that the Super Narrative Spenders are going to still make it seem like my home was handicapped this year. And it's the only reason why another team had a chance. We will deal with that goal post later. Right now it's time to stomp this rookie hype out. Just like every time they get a chance to throw shade when CJ was hot, people was quick to try to compare him to LeMond. Man, that's what happens, man. And he said, Flock needs to have LJ back. Sorry for the rambling. I'm just excited. Your thoughts on next week's matchup? I call it the hype versus the narrative. Okay, I like that, man. But yeah, again, just get it done. That's it. Just get it done. Get it done. Figure out a way to get it done. Make it happen. Go out there, execute everybody. Come out ready. Stay ready so you ain't got to get ready. Don't start off slow. Start off fast.  Next question came from my guy, Jarvo. He said the script has been written. Have you seen the conspiracy about the Super Bowl logo and its colors? Apparently the colors tell us who is going to the Super Bowl. A family member told me about this and I've also seen it on Twitter. So what are your thoughts on it? I say, hey, whatever. Raven's in the Super Bowl, win in the Super Bowl. That's all I care about. That's all I care about. The whole colors and all that. I've been seeing that for a while. But hey, I remember, I think last year, no, the year before last, they were like, oh, look at who's in the, I think the discount double check, the State Farm commercial, that's going to be who's going to be in the Super Bowl. That ended up being wrong. But as long as Raven's in there and they win it, that's all I care about. So I got care less about the colors and all that. Who cares? He also said with Derek Henry being a free agent as well as Gus, which player do you think the Ravens go after? Also, if Cook plays great, do we try and keep him? Oh, yeah, I think they definitely would try to keep Cook if he plays great. Now, I wonder, depending on how Dalvin Cook does in these next three games, let me see what we did there, but depending on how he does, I wonder if that could be a factor for them potentially keeping Gus or potentially going in another direction and going after somebody else.  But I think that will determine everything depending on how Dalvin Cook does because they know Gus Edwards already. They have Justice Hill on the contract already, they got Keith Mitchell on the contract, but Dalvin Cook is a wild card, Gus Edwards is a wild card. Well, Dalvin Cook is a wild card, but he's the one that you don't know all the way about yet. Next question came from my guy Stone, two times. It was something great. Recently, I posted a question on Twitter about Kyle Hamilton and his potential. The question I asked was, am I crazy for thinking this man has a chance to be the best defensive player the Ravens have ever had? Oh, let me just keep reading and then we'll get into it. He said, now as you could expect, there were people saying yes while some said no. There were people saying I'm crazy while others said I'm right on point. I know the man is only in year two, but have we ever witnessed a player like Kyle? His height, his length, his speed, the ability to play anywhere on the field, the IQ, and he's only in year two. This team has been built on great defensive players like Ray, Ed, Suggs, Nada, Woodson, and so on, but could Kyle really get to that point? Me personally, I think he'll end up near the top if we can keep him paired with Roquon, as well as keeping a great coordinator. He's grown so much already, I can't wait to see him in his defense in the playoffs this year. I'll leave a picture of the tweet as well as the link if you'd like to check it out and check out some of the responses. Oh, trust me, I've seen him. I saw all of them. Well, maybe not all of them, because it was a whole lot, but I saw a lot of them. And I saw some people like, yeah, and I saw some people like, no, and I saw some people respectfully give their opinion.  Anyway, I appreciate all you do. Keep on keeping it clean and let's go win a Super Bowl. I love it. I love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Can Kyle Hamilton be the one of the best defensive players? Oh, be the best defensive player the Ravens have ever had. That would be some high praise right there because like you mentioned, Ravens have had a lot, a lot of great, not just great, phenomenal, legendary defensive players. I think in order for Kyle Hamilton to even be entered into that conversation, his level of consistency, we just had to continue. It would have to continue. Now you did bring up a good point. Him just literally being able to do everything, anything, anywhere on the field. That's big. That's huge. Now, defense is different. Nowadays, defense is very different because you can't, there's so much that you can't do as a defensive player nowadays. So when you see a good defense, it's like, wow, that's really a good defense because they're not only a good defense, but physically, but they're a good defense mentally because for you to be able to get around all the penalties and stuff, get around all the rules that benefit the offense and still hold it down, still hold a team to a certain amount of points, still lead the league and in sacks, lead the league and turn it. For you to be able to do all that stuff with the way that the league is set up now. Oh, you are amazing defensive and you are like really for real. So with Kyle Hamilton, does he have a chance to be Ravens best defensive player ever? I think he has a chance to be Ravens most versatile defensive player ever best. It will take a lot, a lot, a lot. But I could say he could be one of the best ever. I think he could get that for sure. But the best, oh, man, that's how I pray. And Kyle Hamilton, he is an amazing player. He is an amazing player. But the best Ravens defensive player ever. Could he get that anything's possible? But let's just start with him being one of the Ravens best possibly one of the Ravens best defensive players that they've ever had. I think again, it'll take a lot of consistency because you got somebody like a read like yeah, like that's Bill Belichick greatest coach up. Oh, watch for watch for number 20. Watch where it's looked before air read is every play. But I feel like offensive coordinators and coaches, I feel like they got to do that now with Kyle Hamilton. You got to look to see where he is every play because he could be lining up literally everywhere, anywhere, and he can do a great job of it. It's funny because I remember last year we would joke around talking about he was the Ravens best pass rusher. That actually might have been real because he can rush the pass. He can do everything man. He can do everything. So I respect your your statement. But it's just tough to say Oh yeah, for sure. Next question came from my guy TJ. He said good morning, Raven. I just want to say Joe Burrow is trash and Josh Allen is trash. Honestly, no, they're not either one of the two is trash. They're not trash. But anyway, he said if Lamar had any of the weapons they have you wouldn't even hear about them.  He's just running quarterback. My thing is he is not the only quarterback that runs in NFL.  How many MVPs they have again? And Burrow played a trash bills defense. Only reason they won. We beat them easily without Greg Roman calling plays in that playoff game. He was the reason we lost. No carries to J.K. The goal line three dumb pass plays at the goal line. No affirmations runs with J.K Augusta bus at the goal line. What the team keep it clean was that engraving. He said you still got some pent up frustration at Greg Roman. Because you still, you were going in on this. And then he said, God answered my prayer when we parted ways. Oh, yeah, he definitely, it was personal. It was personal for him. He prayed about Greg Roman getting fired or them parting ways and mutually. Oh, yeah, that was personal. You know, he said God answered my prayers when we parted ways. Now watch Lamar and our new God sent off and set this league on fire. Two more after another praise. God even sorry for the paragraph. God bless you and the family. Tyler Honey played better than Josh Allen with terrible offensive play calling. And Joe Burrow had a side relief after the Huntley fumble in the return will be back better than ever. Ravens will be back. Roquan Smith is reincarnated. Ray Lewis just watching Graven just watch three games. Job not finished. Mamba mentality. Oh, excuse me.  Okay, I like that one.   Let's go.


Welcome to video number two of the Johnny Q daily vlog. I would have some cool drone footage here but my drone isn't working and I'm actually making video number two after I made a video number one on the same day because the lighting is great and I'm just like, might as well just knock out two videos. So you guys have been amazing. The response on TikTok, on Instagram, on YouTube, it's been awesome. You guys are awesome. Thanks for joining. I'm gonna talk about something that I've kind of posted about before on YouTube, on Instagram, on Facebook, on TikTok. And it's the fact that I have 1.3 million followers on TikTok. 1.3? That's crazy. Right, that's, that's awesome. 1.3 million followers on TikTok. That is no easy thing. I do applaud myself. 1.3 million is just incredible, okay? I was freaking out when I got 10,000 followers. I was gonna say dollars for some reason. I was freaking out when I got, whoa, the camera's just slowing, okay. I was freaking out when I had 100,000 followers and then 500,000 followers. Hence this is 500,000 celebration. Okay, camera is not 1 million followers, let alone 1.3 million. Like that's, to me, yes, I am proud of that fact. I am proud that I'm able to create valuable and entertaining content for the people of TikTok. This lighting just looks epic. Like it honestly looks so, so good. I love it. It freaking looks so good. I just, this has been here the whole time. This is a sour punch candy. And it just been here, I did not plant this. So I wonder, I wonder how it tastes. Again, I have no idea where this has been. It's a sour punch. It's been here, who knows? It's pretty good though. Oh my gosh, I hope I really don't get sick. I hope I don't get poisoned. Why did I eat that? I don't know.  You're TikTok famous, right? No, not at all. There's a weird thing that happens when you hit a certain amount of followers and that's the infamous are you TikTok famous? To answer that question in its entirety, no, I'm not famous, let alone TikTok famous. Do I have a lot of followers on TikTok? Yes, that's the thing though. That's what happens in this generation where you get all these followers and all of a sudden you're like, are you famous? No, my whole goal is not to be famous. It's not to become famous. Do I wanna be well known? Well yeah, that's like, that's a selfish desire of mine. But it's not my ultimate goal. My ultimate goal is to, well, I guess be known for my entertaining content worldwide. So, you know, in a sense, I guess I do wanna be famous. Frank, Frank, Frank. Again, I'm not saying that I'm ungrateful for 1.3 million on TikTok. I'm extremely grateful. My life has kind of changed because of my TikTok following. I'm excited. I am, it's, you know, the fruit of my hard work and you're thinking, well, it's just TikTok, Johnny. How much work can it really be? Well, honestly, it's quite a bit of work. It just, it takes time, it takes patience, and you do have to start. That's my whole thing on this YouTube channel and that's just keep on creating.  So, for 1.3 million, yeah, they're awesome. Thanks so much. So thanks for watching the Johnny Q daily vlog. Adios. Also, I really hope I do not die from eating that sour candy that I did earlier.


Thank you all for coming. Welcome sponsors, entrepreneurs, young entrepreneurs, board of directors, family and guests. Thank you for joining us for the first annual Build Abiz Award ceremony. Maine's economic future stands before us with these young entrepreneurs. So our support for our sponsors, young entrepreneurs, parents, board of directors and helpers. But first I have to talk a little bit about in 2010, more nervous than I have ever been, Dick McGoldrick introduced me to yellow light green of Bangor Savings Bank. I speedily went through my elevator pitch, so I know what your kids are going through, to yellow and Stacy on acquiring a nationally licensed program, Lemonade Day. I was looking for their financial support. I saw a way to bring entrepreneurship to kids in Maine. All went well until yellow asked, can we skip over here? Panic ensued, my mouth went dry and I said, sure. Four years later, we continue to make a difference for both our youth and Maine's economy. We would not be here today if it wasn't for Bangor Savings Bank and their 56 branches. Throughout Maine, who employees tirelessly talk to their customers about this opportunity for their children and ours and the positive impact it's going to have on Maine's future. Please join me in a round of applause for Bangor Savings Bank as they have been helping small businesses and entrepreneurs in Maine for 157 years. And thank you for all the sponsors for your support. You have all made the difference. You know who you are. Dick McGoldrick's entrepreneurial foresight. He is an amazing marketing and design team. Flight's web work, ProSearch for including us in their commercial every year about youth entrepreneurship. GWY who offers scholarships to these kids. You see I'm nervous too, you guys. Maine and Company showing kids how important it is to be heard with their story and Baldachi Business to Business for hosting the first annual in the beginning of Elevator Pitch. Wright Ryan who continually supports us every year and supports youth entrepreneurship and to all our partners who work tirelessly to get the word out about youth entrepreneurship. Thank you sponsors. So we are an entrepreneurial startup. We, like many others, we started with my passion. When I joined my husband's acapella music business, I started a high school acapella competition to compliment his college competition. I saw the passion and power these kids had when setting goals for themselves and reaching them. When we moved back to Portland in 2010, we both searched how we could support entrepreneurship. I became passionate about the possibilities that Lemonade offered for the kids. And I have never turned back since then. So like many other entrepreneurs and startups, we have a vision that is bigger than our current resources. And like many other entrepreneurial startups, we were very optimistic. How fast everything would get done. How many thousands of kids we would be here in year one. So while the inevitable delays led to a very short marketing period, which led to smaller numbers that I had hoped, we are very proud that more than 20% of those who registered completed the program, which is five times better than what we saw with Lemonade Day the last two years. Kids are coming up with amazing ideas and they're following through. We accomplished a lot in year one. We built a brand new program from scratch with the help of Debra Cantor and Humane Cooperative Extension Partnership. We created the first four online video modules with USM and ACTUS students. And we received great feedback from the parents and kids on this program to date. Our sponsor, the V agency, created amazing marketing materials. You look at our logos, our posters and tag lines again. Because I say again because they went through this whole process with us last year to create Lemonade Day, which we are going to bring it back. Thanks to all your efforts. And then our sponsor, Flight New Media, created the website, which I hope all of you have gone to buildabiz.me to view. We sustained over relationships like the Boys and Girls Club, which are in the back. And they created their Bliss Brownie Company during our pilot program in February. And I'm sure everybody looks like their brownies are gone. So you guys did a great job again. And we showed with the Baldachi on Business Show that when you empower kids, amazing things happen and have. So next year and beyond, we remain convinced that asking kids about their ideas is the right way to go, as opposed to dictating the way we did with Lemonade Day to give them a product and then to create it. We think the current younger kids division of the five to eight year olds will continue to serve us better and the way it's been going. But we learned that 17 year olds participated and got a lot out of this 19 to 15 year old program this year. So we're going to open it up to the nine to 18 year olds as we are building a program for the high school, but not quite this year. And then we're working on a teacher's mentor guide. You started it now and we're hoping to finish it by January. So our future includes many things, but mostly the mentor network for kids across the state because we've seen what a different has made either coaches or parents working with the children. Kristen, you can attest for this. We had coaches come in to help the kids and they just did an amazing job with the Boys and Girls Club. I'm working with Jim Wolf on from Fry Burger Academy right now, who is doing an entrepreneurial education program for the high school level. And it has been so successful that he wants to get help get the word out and he thinks working with us is going to be key in getting the word across the state. And then steadily add on online resources to provide more direction for main youth through resources and guiding. So what do we need to get there ongoing financial support? I need to build a team that includes a volunteer coordinator administrative assistance in house technical support and train the trainer person for parents and mentors. And we're looking for a vehicle that would work well around the state since we have kids all around the state and we're very well represented here today. So very excited about and then for the kids and parents, we will listen. We're asking for their feedback via survey and we are going to make the changes to enhance and develop the program. So more young entrepreneurs will be interested and want to get involved with us. So we are going to listen to all of what you have to say. For our other helpers, Trish, where is she? Our financial administrator, you have been a great sounding board for me also. Rob Baldacci, Jennifer Sherwood, where is she? Her counselors were our judges. Well, Lisa Panette Michelle, the lawyer worked really hard with the volunteers. Thank you very much. Stacey Haskell, she's not here. She was a big role for me. She works for Bangor Savings Bank. The yellow green is the right hand person. She has been part of my right hand person on my board as directors. And then all the volunteers, we can't even thank you enough. And we also have to thank all the parents and grandparents who are here. You have been a great, stable force for these kids as you can see their excitement. And so Southern Maine Community, Michelle, I'm going to introduce you. She's hosted the event for us our first annual and hopefully going forward from here. She's on my board of directors. She's an instructor here at SNCC and entrepreneurial studies. She's also a motivational speaker. She motivates me. And then what I really like about this is our future entrepreneurs have options for the education. And thanks to SMCC here are one of the options. So I'd like to welcome you and thank you. I just want to say welcome to all of you and a special welcome to all of the kids. I had my first business when I was eight. I wanted to be an author. So I wrote 43 books. They were really short stories, but they had my coloring on them and they had photos that I had taken out of my mom's closet. And then I autographed them.  Any of you kids in the room? If not, it's okay to go home and do it. All right. So I had all these books and I was like, Oh, how am I going to sell them? And so I tried to bring them to the library. They wouldn't take them. I can't understand why. And then I tried to sell them. I lived in the inner city. And I tried to sell them on the corner like a lemonade stand. Although the neighbor kids said I was really weird. And so what I ended up doing is sold them all to my mom's daycare kids and they use monopoly money. But I remember sitting there at eight, having this stack of monopoly money. It was an entrepreneur. Fast forward. Now I was eight. How many of you are around eight? I think there are a few eight, nine, 10. Okay, awesome. So when if you can think about when you're old, like when you're 25. So when you're 25, I then wrote my first book. And I had an old fashioned. This is I was a big person. I was an older lady. And I had a lemonade stand and I sold my real books. And so I just want to encourage you those dreams that you have today, those ideas that you have, they can actually be something that happens. And at SMCC, we're really passionate and we really care about helping our students, not forcing them to make entrepreneurship an option, but giving them the option that it's one of the options. You know, we have the culinary arts program here, we have horticulture, people work with flowers, we have people who build houses, and many of them end up having their own business. I have two students in Tiffany and Jessica, who both are in business for themselves and have taken classes here. And so I encourage you as you think about being older, which you know, sometimes it seems like forever till it will come that SMCC is a place both for parents for students. You can ask these guys afterwards and put me on the spot. But it's a really great place to to learn and explore. And the reason I'm here is I'm passionate. I love teaching business. And I started at a community college. And that was where I got my first education many a year ago at a community college in Minnesota. So we do offer classes on entrepreneurship here. You don't have to be a student to take those classes. So if even the parents in the room, you think I want to I want to try a course, you know, it's a pretty low expensive option. We also have a business incubator that's free to our students. And so you can come and get business coaching and there's resources. And our goal really is to work with our students and our alumni to help them to build and grow the businesses that they're working in. So it's a pleasure to have you all here. We know we don't think we know we have the most beautiful campus in Maine, and I believe in the country. So I will be around afterwards. Feel free to ask any questions or email me. If you go to the SMCC website, there's an entrepreneurial center page. I'm more than glad to answer questions for the kids, for the parents. If you have people that are interested outside, please don't hesitate to contact me. And I just want to say working with this lady is a pleasure. I need to give you a round of applause because her energy just inspired me. So much less nervous than me. Thank you very much. So this year, we had small numbers to start. We had big numbers to finish. So I want to give a round of applause. First, all the kids who participated went through the whole program, completed it with their passion and are here today as all winners. We did start small and accomplished big, didn't you? So Olivia Dan Boyce, 12-year-old competing track runner from Old Town, created a product which she pitched on Channel 5 on May 7th, winning her in the first place, which is a $1,000 scholarship from DWI. I would like Olivia and Trevor from DWI to come up here to a step. I'd like to share with us a little bit about your success or how you felt it went. I think building this was really good. It helps me with every step and it just like guided me right through the whole process and I think I'd be ready to start a business right now. With us, she actually had gone, you know, once school starts and, you know, the kids take off. So she's in Virginia. So her one of her prizes is my husband, Dawn Gooding, is going to talk a little bit about it because it is the TEDx. She won two tickets to TEDx, which I'm going to tell you a little bit about this and tell a little bit about it now. Sure. So have any of you heard of TED Talks? Yeah, some of you have. So TED Talks have been going on for a long time all around the world and here in Maine we have this event called TEDx Dirigo and it has all sorts of people sharing interesting ideas and so it's appropriate for a young entrepreneur to get to go to hear a whole bunch of people sharing their ideas because that's what you've been doing in Build-A-Biz. You've been sharing your business idea. I was honored. I actually got to go and share one of my big ideas on TEDx Dirigo last year and so I've got it out there and a bunch of people have looked at it. So I think when you go, when Raya goes, she'll get a chance to see how many people in Maine have really interesting ideas. It's very exciting. So congratulations, Raya. Raya actually has been involved with the Youth Entrepreneurial Program for three years. She started with a little lemonade stand. She grew it to include other things last year and this year she actually included plants that won. She's supporting three different causes, breast cancer. So she did plantings of pink plantings and then pink rata cancer which she did purple plantings and then autism. So she did colorful plantings. So she is supporting three that are actually close to her heart so we're sorry that she couldn't be with us today. And then third place, Lexie, would you like to come up here?

We have the chance to show them our support through supporting Build-A-Biz in many ways. If you're getting the word out to other kids that you know that have that potential they don't all have a guiding hand and we're going to be trying to provide that throughout the state so I hope that you are going to help me to be able to get that word out for next year. So this is just the beginning and with all of you here we can actually show the kids that even though they start small we can accomplish big. We have Tiffany Tarbox who actually started as a little young entrepreneur. She now has a truck. We have where are the mainly burgers. Okay we have two young men here.
