Welcome back to the show, my fellow extraordinary Americans. Today’s guest is Audra Karam. Audra has been a successful lifetime entrepreneur and has owned several small businesses over the past 30 years. She is the founder and creator of the Black Belt Bruce Club and Karam’s Little Leaders program, which helps parents and educators introduce leadership and life skills to children as young as three. 

With their fun and engaging short videos, workbooks, and a proven reward system, the Korams have taught thousands of children since 1975 how to be leaders, handle bullies, and stand up for what they believe in. 

The Little Leaders program has already been welcomed into many school districts as an after-school program because of its immediate and visible results. Audra and her husband are also co-founders of Karam’s Kids Centers, a nonprofit focused on helping children from disrupted homes achieve success in their homes, schools, and lives. 

They’re on a mission to help develop the youngest generation into future leaders in our great nation. They are passionate about this mission and would like to share how other overachieving and high-performing entrepreneurial parents can raise their children to be standout leaders in a world of followers. 

Audra is an extraordinary American, and I’m glad to have her on the show. Are you there, Audra?

Audra

I am. Thank you.

Cosmos

Audra, thank you so much for taking the time to do this podcast with me. It’s an honor to have you on the show.

Audra

Thank you. Thank you for having me, Audra.

Audra and her husband have been entrepreneurs and are into educating kids.

Cosmos

I know that you and your husband have been entrepreneurs, and you’re into educating kids. Can you tell me in the audience a little bit more about yourself, your background, and how you got started?

Audra

Sure. My husband has been an entrepreneur all his life, and I’ve been there beside him. He loves trying new things and believes there’s nothing he can’t do. 

As we tackle new opportunities, we love to get in there, do the hard work, and make it happen. Our most recent project was Karen’s Little Leaders with Black Belt Bruce. It’s really about helping the next generation, you know, more that we are at a time in our lives where we feel it’s important to lift the next generation and give back. 

So we have a nonprofit like you mentioned, which funds much of what we do. 

But yeah, we recognize that helping entrepreneur parents out there who are busy and working a lot of hours can sometimes cause them to get caught up in doing that and miss opportunities with their children that can be great learning opportunities. We also encourage them to be entrepreneurs themselves or at least to have the confidence to try that at a later time.

Cosmos

So, Audra, it’s amazing that you’re helping kids understand entrepreneurship and teaching them about leadership from a young age.

What was your and your husband’s strategic vision from a young age

My question is, what was your and your husband’s strategic vision from a relatively young age? Like that, the story of how you got to where you are today, why education in this particular field versus anything else?

Audra

We’ve always wanted to do it our way. I walk with a friend regularly, and she has known our family for just a little bit, and she says, you know, it’s always fascinating when I talk to you and your husband and your family. You guys are always asking how this can be done better. You know, it ends up that we think back, we’re like, doesn’t everybody think like that? And that’s what I find. Many entrepreneurs believe they see a problem and can do it better. At least the belief that they can do it better. 

And then they say, “Let’s make this better.” I think that’s how many entrepreneurs think. Some people just don’t think that way. So, our vision and mission have been from the very beginning of my husband and me. We’ve been together for over 30 years, so everything’s kind of done together. 

You know we can build a better business and do things better. And why not? We do want that freedom, and we have always wanted to be able to determine our future. And I think when you’re an entrepreneur, you get that opportunity. Does that make sense?

Cosmos

Yeah, it does. The thing about entrepreneurship is that it just leads you to the path where you have a path and purpose. And the entrepreneurial spirit leads you to that path and purpose. And it just shows you how to monetize your path and purpose and keep going, you know?

Audra

Yes, yes. I agree with that 100%. And yeah, it allows us to find our best gifts. Right? Because we’ve been through many different ventures and have learned a lot. 

And through that, as anyone else in any career sector, if not only as an entrepreneur, you find out what you’re good at, right? Sometimes to the detriment of your bank account. But that’s how you learn. And I’ll tell you what, you never learn faster than when it’s your money and not the company’s money. Right?

Cosmos

Yeah, no.

What is the motivational factor behind educating children for you and your husband?

For you and your husband, what is the motivational factor, the inner drive that motivated you to educate children versus anything else? There are different businesses. You can do real estate or money banking or anything like that. What drove you to educate children of all ventures?

Audra

Ah, yeah. So, I’ll just give you a quick little history. So, my husband’s family has been in martial arts for many years. His dad started a martial arts business and taught Taekwondo to many adults for years and over time, and I’m going to advance it probably 30-plus years. My husband and I then got married and had children. When we had our children in the early 90s, we discovered that martial arts wasn’t about parents not taking their children to it for kicking, punching, or self-defense. It was more about leadership skills and confidence that can be built. 

So, we pivoted the program in the curriculum. Although we did teach kicking and punching in our martial arts school, which is now closed, what we do now does not revolve around the fact that we don’t have a true school anymore. However, we learned that many high-performing, successful parents sought ways to augment their work at home. 

My passion has always been children. My background is in working with children. I went to school for children, and then we had four children, and we said we could do this better. Then, we curated this program that we implemented in our school. 

And it just saw the magnificent transformation and children who would come to us and you know, they wouldn’t make eye contact, they didn’t know how to shake their hand, or they weren’t listening at home. And we said, you know what, we need to help these good kids be great. Because there was a lot of potential, we had invested in parents, which I think is a key component. Parents have to be intentional about wanting to lift their children. And the people, the families who came to us said, you know what I want better for them, how do I do that? And then we were having such massive success in our small area, locally, in our community, that we said, you know what, we need to branch out. Then, we decided to go nationwide when COVID came and make the curriculum animated and online. People across the globe could participate in this program to improve their children and create a legacy of, you know, success for their families.

Cosmos

Wow.

How did you pivot when Covid hit your businesses?

So normally, for most people, when COVID hit businesses, it was a very nice time, but it was also a negative time for their businesses. But your strategy was to go online and then through online as you thrived instead. So, how was your mindset when Covid hit, and how did you make that pivot and transition into the program that you have now?

Audra

You know, I. This is a great question for anybody who’s listening who’s an entrepreneur because we’re of the mindset, and I believe many of your listeners are, too. We just don’t quit. Right. So Covid happened, and we’re like, oh, you know, it’s like a kick in the shins, but we don’t give up. We just don’t give up. We can’t give up. 

So, we said, “How can we do this differently?” We know what we’re doing is important and valuable, so we must continue. It took some thought, some processes, some brainstorming, and some shaking some ideas out. And then we said, “You know what? We’ll do it this way.” 

So, then we pivoted. As I said, we physically had to close the school, which was hard. It was a family legacy. And you know what, as entrepreneurs and high-performing people, we say that’s a part of life. We just went in a different direction. And I think it’s important for all of your listeners to recognize that, to say, and I speak of this from experience, I’m in my 50s, that, you know, you can’t quit, and you have to figure out a better way. If you believe in your actions, you must find a better way. And we know what we are doing is important.

And so, when we made that transition, we said, okay, this is where we’re going. And that’s where we landed.

Cosmos

Wow, this is a great case of perseverance and pivoting. I like this, and I’ve talked about it in my previous episodes as well. 

Right. So a lot of entrepreneurs, they want, whenever they’re going through a problem. They tend to do the same thing again and again. But sometimes, there’s a difference between going and continuing until you become successful and pivoting when a certain strategy is not working. 

And Covid was one of those times where you had to change strategies for, like, a lot of people had to do that, and it was about how you adapted to the situation. That’s what entrepreneurs are pretty good at.

Audra

You have to be, or you won’t be in it long. Right?

Cosmos

Yeah.

Audra

Yeah. The biggest challenge in entrepreneurship is knowing when to shift directions.

Cosmos

One of my questions for you, Audrey, was about entrepreneurship during your lifetime. What was the biggest challenge you all had to face for you and your husband, and how did you overcome it?

Audra

What is our biggest challenge, and how can we overcome it? I want to say, but I don’t think it’s accurate. I want to say it’s getting up daily and just keeping at it. But I would have to say that my husband and I probably are built a little differently. That’s just what we are. That’s who we are. That’s what we do. We don’t give up. We don’t give in. We just keep plowing forward, I guess. 

And there weren’t naysayers. A lot of times, you hear, like, don’t let other people, you know, don’t share your dreams or your vision with other people because they could be naysayers. That wasn’t something we ran into. I guess it would be just knowing when. This may be the best way to say it: knowing when to shift how you do things. Because sometimes you. You’re being successful, working forward, and having moderate success. 

So you kind of go, okay, this is good, and I can settle here, or do I turn just a little bit this way and maybe try this? And then I can have massive success, or I can have a downfall. And I think the biggest challenge is knowing when to shift directions. If it’s not forced, like, Covid was forced on us. Right. 

We had to make that change. But I think when you actively sit back and assess your business and how you’re living your dream, you have to say, “Am I? Am I happy where I’m at? Or can I do better? Can we do better if we make this minor shift? Does that make sense?”

Cosmos

Yeah, it does.

Audra: 

Don’t quit. If you believe in something, don’t quit

Cosmos

So as a continuation of that, Audra is like, what is, like, the deep insights or lessons you and your husband learned over these years, like, doing entrepreneurship and Business and then just running the school and all of that. What was the ultimate lesson you learned? Like just regarding life and business in general?

Audra

Yeah, cliche. But don’t quit. Don’t quit if you believe in something with your whole heart, mind, and body; don’t quit. And don’t listen to the naysayers. So I mean, I know a lot of your listeners have probably heard that before, but to drive it home, you have to be intentional. And I think that’s an important piece of a lot of small businesses,I think the percentage of small businesses that fail, you know, like 75 to 90, I can’t remember, I don’t know what the number is now, but I know back in the day it was very, very high. Within three to five years, you know, they just fail. 

And that’s a lot of investment. We’ve sold many of our businesses, sold them to people, loaded the loan, and carried it there. You know, we wrote the loan on it. But they had an illusion that self-employed or entrepreneurs live a life of luxury and, you know, can go to Cancun or wherever, whenever they want, and you and it doesn’t work that way. You have to be willing to initially put in the work and the effort to build up what your dream is, and then it’s not working. 

Right. It becomes your love. If you wake up excited about your daily work, you’re in the right place. And if you’re not, I’m not saying quit, but think about it and try and figure out what gets you excited to get out of bed every morning. And that’s how we both have always been. We’re always like, what’s next? You know, so we keep on going with that.

Cosmos

Like Audra, what you just said about naysayers and not quitting is so relevant.

Finding your why is what determines your success in entrepreneurship

However, like many people, I want to know the mindset around handling the naysayers and not quitting when things get tough. Because yeah, it’s easy to say, I’m not going to quit. But then, when things get tough, we’re going through emotional stress, and as entrepreneurs, we know that that’s a common thing we have to face. 

So it’s about how we react to that. So, from your perspective, what is our mental and emotional state when we’re dealing with stress like that or when you have people being negative? Nancy’s altogether.

Audra

Yeah. Negative Nancy’s out there. Yeah. Initially, the first thought was not to share it with them. You know, just when they, you know, what their input. And sometimes it’s our family that’s the negative in Nancy’s.

So you don’t share. You can just kind of, you know, allude to something else or, you know, just say, I’m working on a few things, and let it go. Second, I’m a huge believer in quotes. I love inspiring quotes. Thank goodness you are at the age where you can just pop on YouTube and get a motivational video. And I think if you find the time to, you know, pop in minutes of a motivational video and find there are great ones out there to tell you, just dig deeper or whatever it might be that inspires you. 

Yeah. So when you feel your back is against the wall, you don’t quit. You fight and find what motivates you to stay in the game. Because that’s what’s going to determine your success, and some people just quit too early. But sometimes it’s not. Entrepreneurship, as you know, isn’t for everyone. Some try it, and then they’re like, I have never returned to that. And some of us just love to live here. This is where we live. 

So I would say, yeah, if you have a goal setting and motivational quotes and then, you know, inspirational pieces that remind you, why are you doing this and that you have to find you why. I know; Simon Sinek talks about finding you why. And when you remember that, your why, when the times are tough, it may be like you want to, you know, help your family or be a better person for your daughter or something like that. When you know your why, it may. It helps you get out of bed and helps you continue when things are tough.

Cosmos

No, I agree with the wise thing. For example, you must have a strong emotional response to why that hits you at the core because otherwise, you won’t. You’ll never succeed in what you’re doing over the long term. A lot of, like, the most successful people, they had a strong reason, and they just had a strong path and purpose, and they just went with it. You know, when adversity hit, like, it didn’t faze them at all.

Absolutely. Yeah. It’s not. There are very few who, I think, if your why is just to make a, you know, a million dollars and have a private yacht, it might be, but it’s really. It generally doesn’t. It doesn’t keep your toe in the line, doesn’t keep you, you know, bloody in your knuckles and showing up. Your why has to be deeper, I think.

According to a Harvard study, good, effective habits can help us succeed.

Cosmos

Another thing I wanted to add is our perspective on how we view barriers and adversity. So a lot of times we can, a lot of entrepreneurs, like, we see, a lot of times we see adversity as opportunities. And suppose we often see adversity as an opportunity to improve or overcome. In that case, if you look at it, people have achieved stratospheric success levels after facing adversity. It’s like going to the gym and lifting these really heavy weights. If you’re able to overcome them, you naturally become stronger. So, our mindset should be based on seeing it as positive. But I don’t know what you would think about that.

Audra

I agree. Is it hard to do? Super hard. Because when we’re going through it or experiencing it or, you know, we get dealt that deal us. And say, our natural reaction, but a lot of us, you know, recoil, and we go, ah, you know, poor me, but you can’t be poor me. Poor me doesn’t get us anywhere. Right. You have to buck up and move on. 

And I’m sure a lot of things that people are hearing from me say, your mom probably told you, and that’s why, as parents, we need to help strengthen our children to be amazing leaders, because heaven forbid we’re not there at some point in time when, you know, as they grow up to be older and now’s the time our program works for three to about nine years old. And that’s when these kids are ready to be built. And I don’t mean to say, like, built like we have this goal, but I think we always wanted the best for our children. We wanted to be the best they could be, whatever that looks like. And if you don’t start when they’re young, you miss a golden opportunity because, you know, just like riding a bike, if anyone here doesn’t know how to ride a bike, you’re way more hesitant as an adult to try and venture out and say, let’s learn how to ride a bike. But when we’re young, you know, it’s, oh, this is what we do. 

And so we figure it out, and our bodies are much more ready to learn new things when we’re young. And so if we can, you know, fortify our children with some of these benefits, why not?

Cosmos

Yeah, I looked at your website, and you mentioned that the best age to teach children is three. From your perspective, why are there three?

Audra

There is, so my background in kids is we know that kids are learning when they’re in utero. So when you are pregnant, mom, your kids are already learning about things in the outside world. It’s hard to believe, but it’s been proven. 

And so the kid’s formidable years are from, really, from birth to age about 7. However, a Harvard study shows that children’s habits are important. And any entrepreneur out there knows that habits are what can make us power through, right? Having good, effective habits can help us be successful. And Harvard studied, studied like 50,000 families. They have discovered through this study that by the age of nine, in our children who don’t have strong, healthy, good habits built around how they live their life and what they plan to do, the likelihood is way less for them to be successful. Our habits determine our future. Right. 

And so it’s between those ages and starting as young as three. And many people we’ve met with some families, and they’re like three, I can’t ask my three-year-old to do this. And we’re like, yes, you can. And here’s why. They’re like, well, they don’t even know how to make their bed or whatever it might be. And I’m like, we need to teach them at three; they’re fully capable. 

Sometimes, as parents, you know, they minimize the capability of their children and say, oh, we have to do this for them. Well, they’re lifted as soon as we stop doing things for our children and help them learn how to do it for themselves. They grow confident inside. They see how great it feels to make that bed. And when I say make a bed, I don’t mean like, you know, clean tucked corners or anything, but a three-year-old can simply truly pull a blanket up on the bed and put a pillow up there and have some success with that. 

And how do you, I mean, just watch them swell up with pride like I did that? They have that satisfaction. And when we have every time we help them feel that satisfaction as an adult, as a parent, as a teacher, that’s growing their confidence inside. Everyone who wants to be a good entrepreneur has to have confidence.

Cosmos

Yeah, totally. They must get ingrained into our system early. I agree that schools should focus on helping kids tackle finances in school.

And Audra, speaking of thoughts, actions, and habits, how do you think our generation, the kids of our current generation, should grow up regarding entrepreneurship, investing, and business in general? How should the schools teach their children to have the best generation we can?

Audra

That’s a big question. And I know our schools struggle with financial support and helping kids all the time. But I think public school’s shortcomings have always been finances, but they don’t. The focus hasn’t been on how to, how to live, how to become, you know, an entrepreneur, and how to do things. You know, the trade schools happen when you’re in high school, but balancing a checkbook is the parents’ responsibility. But. And sometimes the parents aren’t there. Parents don’t know how to do that. 

So I think the schools could, you know, benefit by helping our future generations tackle real life. Just a class or two. Right? It doesn’t have to be the reading, the writing, the math, and what those have always been, but help them learn the skill sets they need when they get out there. How to budget your money. Some, you know, we’ve heard stories worldwide about kids getting their first check. They don’t know anything about taxes, they don’t know that, you know, Social Security is going to come out and, and things like that. 

So I think every time we can help them be better prepared for that, and the schools, if they can do that, and I know there are a lot of them trying, and I know a lot of the private schools are trying, and charter schools are doing things to implement that kind of piece into the curriculum. And I think that’s helpful. Let’s help them be real and more successful in everything they’re doing in the school setting.

Cosmos

So Audra is one of the tenets of extraordinary America, which is transforming the 99% into entrepreneurs and investors with the goal of financial freedom.

Audra

Freedom.

Cosmos

A main component of that being in the future is teaching the young generation the thoughts, actions, and mindsets to become successful or to have the habits to be successful in money, business, and life in general.

The Black Belt Bruise curriculum focuses on helping children become better leaders.

So, from your perspective, how can you make them successful in life if you’re like a parent, have children, and think of the next chance? How would the parent go about doing that?

Audra

I think doing something like our program offers, our program circles around the physical, intellectual, emotional, and social well-being of your child. And we pull in pieces in our program that many parents don’t even think about. You know, and it’s the fundamental thing of courtesy. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of the book How to Win Friends and Influence People. Carnegie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

And you know, I worked for that organization for about eight years just becoming an instructor and teaching, you know, corporate CEO people how to be better leaders. And in the throes of that, it’s taking the time to understand that everything doesn’t just. There are teachable moments, right? 

Then, there are times when we must be intentional about teaching our children. Parents often only teach certain children to tie their shoes because that’s a skill set put in front of them, and we have to teach them how to tie their shoes. But let’s remember, we can teach them other important things, like how to hold the doors open for people. Right. How we say please, thank you, and treat others is critical to our lifelong success. And you know, you’ve heard about social and emotional intelligence. 

And when you have that opportunity for your child, if they can’t, if they model a lot of what we do, and we know we don’t all model the perfect stuff that should be for our children. But through our weekly program, the opportunity to come forward through an animated fun video, Black Belt Bruce. And he takes, you know, just a few minutes a day on that. Maybe the start of that week ensures a fun lesson like hey, all week, let’s say please and thank you. And the parents drive that home by participating. It’s very organic learning. These are things that we, as parents, should always do with our kids. And sometimes they get missed; opportunities are missed because that opportunity didn’t come up. Does that make sense?

Cosmos

Yeah.

Audra

So I think it’s a critical time to say, hey, find somebody who’s been there and done that. If you, if you have the opportunity of grandparents or your parents are still around. That’s why I think, as a community, it’s so valuable to have extended families to help raise our children. And nowadays, that doesn’t happen as much. We’re all across the U.S., right? We’re all spread out, sometimes even in different countries. That’s the value of having family and other people to help support you. Because these children, I think it’s important to have, like, three critical adults, to help your child become better, because they need to see different perspectives and they need different opportunities. 

And as parents, that’s great. We’re doing great. And most of us are trying our best. But if you can learn from somebody who’s already been there and done that, which I bring to the table with the Black Belt Bruise curriculum, you know, you can see these critical components: body language. How do you know? Do we make eye contact? Does your little one make eye contact? And the impact of that is that when you go to maybe a job interview, or you’re looking for that, you know, to take on a new business opportunity, you must make eye contact. And that’s not something that’s always passed on. 

So, we bring many things to our curriculum and program. Parents don’t always think of, “Oh, okay, this is.” Let’s hear from somebody who’s been there, experienced that, and helped others.

Black Belt Roost Club and Karen’s Little Leaders are free online programs

Cosmos

So, Audra, since we’re talking about this, can you tell the audience a little bit more about the Black Belt Roost Club and the Little Leaders program so that they understand the foundations of how they started and what they’re about?

Audra

Yeah, sure. Thank you. So, yeah, Karen’s Little Leaders, we have a program, and it’s over 12 months of videos that can be watched. They’re on YouTube. You can watch them for free on YouTube. It’s at the Black Belt Bruce Club through YouTube. They’re short videos introducing concepts about body language, teamwork, peace, focus, respect, and discipline.

 So we integrate all, introduce all of that, and then we say, have a conversation with your kids. Just a few questions: Why is that important? And how do we show that or whatever it might be all week you work on that one important thing? We send a booklet to them in the mail so everything can be done from the comfort of your home. And it takes less than 10 minutes a week. I was a busy mom. We had four kids, ages five and under. 

And so a lot was going on. And I’m like, one more thing. Are you kidding me? But this is important stuff. We designed this so that if you dedicate 10 minutes a week, you can change your child’s trajectory. And it’s a small investment. I will also get you coupon codes your families can use to participate. 

But yeah, it’s all done online. They get a booklet in the mail. The kids earn a wristband at the end that simulates the belts from martial arts. Do you know how you earn different belts through martial arts? And it introduces really important topics, such as table manners and, you know, just things that will. It can help them be better, better kids. Like I say, good kids are great kids. And they can find us on YouTube. Like I said, Black Belt Bruce Club. We’ve just started making them available, and they are free so that they can watch the videos there. Then, they can request the booklets be mailed out to them, and they get a calendar and stickers. And you know, they love it. So the kids love getting this stuff in the mail, and they get excited about it. And as we know, having anybody do anything that helps them move forward if they’re excited about it is easier. Right?

Cosmos

Yeah, totally. And on.

Audra

Right. We offer social and emotional learning for three to nine-year-olds

Cosmos

So, regarding your program versus the school system program we have on a national level right now, how would you contrast the programs, and how do you think they differ?

Audra

1. Yeah, so we teach social and emotional learning. We teach leadership skills at school. They’re teaching them, you know, academic things, you know, how to add two plus two. And they’re teaching them, you know, science and history and. And we think all that is very important. And this augments it. Some schools using us put it in at circle time on Monday mornings. They watch the video. And they have seen such improvement because there’s been a request throughout the US that schools start doing this. It’s pbis, and they need to start doing social and emotional learning. Some have used our program, and others have used others. However, anything is important to add to the social and emotional learning component. And it’s not just about being book smart. We know that that’s valuable. But it’s the next step. 

So we offer, outside of academic learning, some pieces in our program that, you know, teach how to learn and to read books and things like that. But it’s a fun thing. And they do the mission we call it for the week, and after they’ve had four successful missions for the month, they get their best ban, so it’s just fun. Then, it can be adjusted because it’s for three to nine-year-olds. What a nine-year-old can do as opposed to a three-year-old is different. So, you know, we help the parents identify how to massage the curriculum and the program to suit their child’s needs better.

Cosmos

That is great

Audra and Otter founded Karam’s Kids Center to help low-income students

Audra and Otter, I wanted to ask you about the Quran’s Kids Center and the nonprofit that you and your husband are doing. Can you tell me in the audience a little bit more about that?

Audra

Yeah, our Karam’s Kids Center is a 501C3, and it was designed to help students in the area attend classes if they couldn’t financially afford it when we had our small school. We would get some support from local people and businesses in the area. We often funded the nonprofit because we knew how valuable it was. 

So, it currently exists to help any student who wants to participate in the program. They apply for a scholarship, and then they can be a part of Carem’s Little Leaders program and get the curriculum that way.

Cosmos

That is awesome. Audra and Audra, how can the audience connect with you and learn more about you, the Little Leaders program, and everything you, your husband, and your family are doing?

Audra

Ah, that’s simple. One, they can go to YouTube, the black belt Bruce Club. The second way is they can email me at bruce@blackbeltbruce.com, and then third, they can just go to blackbeltbruce.com parents there, I think, kind of giving some testimony. 

We have a school section if you’re interested in a school. In the top right corner of our website, you can click on what schools are doing and where they’re at. That, yeah, gives you a better picture of it, and hopefully, it can answer any questions you might have.

Cosmos

That is amazing, Audra and Audra. I appreciate your taking the time to come to this podcast and share your wisdom. Our education systems should be built to prioritize emotional and social learning. Entrepreneurial skills are also taught to kids from a relatively early age because they will lead them to develop strong habits and success in life. And, and like, what you and your husband are doing is pretty important, you know?

Audra

Thank you. We love doing it and see the impact. Our slogan is “Better habits, better future.” And we have to build them up, right?

Cosmos

No, totally. And I would want you and your husband to come to the show later.

Audra

Thank you. Thank you. I’d love to.

Cosmos

Yeah. And I want to conclude this episode by letting my fellow extraordinary Americans know that, hey, look, there’s an extraordinary within every one of us, and we must awaken it and unleash it. Until next time. Bye for now.

Audra

Thank you.
