Enjoyed this challenge immensely. It is foundational to what we're developing that mirrors Roger's concept around the Genius U resorts: 'entrepreneur incubators by default", or physical spaces and environments for learnings the educational platform attracts. It was delightful to learn this had been created elsewhere in Genius U the same as we are at an earlier stage, thus our venue partner plan. Our spin is adding to the same properties residences for active adults and seniors, many of whom are downsizing from homeownership to live in a resort environment to maximize their empty next years to contribute to the next generation and the lives of their grandchildren in the most optimized ways. So with the deck provided in this microschool we added a resident profile and development plan. Hope it's interesting or helpful. Thanks for the team here and looking forward to working together more closely in the future, stateside and globally as well.
