We've been partnering with Walmart
to help schools and communities.
They have a program called Associate Education, which
allows their employees to get college
degrees with financial help from Walmart.
So maybe we could help someone out today.
So have you ever sent a DM to anybody
and you didn't hear back?
Actually, yes, with the last batch of students, one of--
I sent-- I think his name was with a J. We sent a DM to him,
but he never responded.
Something with a-- I think it was like [? Jawad ?]
or something like that.
It was Jacob, I think.
Jacob, OK, yes, yes.
Yeah, he didn't respond because he's here.
Oh really?
Yeah, yeah.
How the heck did you do that?
Yeah, yeah.
Really?
Let's go say hi to Jacob.
