No, my parents were pastors in Norman, Oklahoma. And so, yeah, didn't grow up with money, went to public schools growing up. I've lived the American dream. And The American dream, to me is this idea that it doesn't matter who your parents are. We live in the greatest country in the world. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. And that's our message. Let's stop teaching our kids there's such thing as equal outcomes. We just want opportunities for our young people. (09:20–09:32)
