00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.530
<v ->Kelvin, welcome.</v>

2
00:00:01.530 --> 00:00:04.380
What's your view of brands and companies,

3
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:05.700
and public figures like yourself,

4
00:00:05.700 --> 00:00:07.470
getting involved in social issues?

5
00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:08.550
<v ->You know, I think it's super important</v>

6
00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:11.550
that we spend time not only talking about the social issues

7
00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:13.740
but getting involved in the social issues.

8
00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:15.870
How do we find meaningful, authentic,

9
00:00:15.870 --> 00:00:18.450
genuine ways to be able to serve the community,

10
00:00:18.450 --> 00:00:19.800
serve our audiences,

11
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.030
but also find a way to make sure

12
00:00:21.030 --> 00:00:23.550
that we're increasing the bottom line of our companies

13
00:00:23.550 --> 00:00:25.080
and of our brands at the same time.

14
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.360
<v ->How have you used your NFL platform</v>

15
00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:29.760
for social good, for social change?

16
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:31.380
<v ->You know, the NFL has done a phenomenal job</v>

17
00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:34.200
of giving us the platform and giving us the access

18
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:35.760
to the entire brand

19
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:38.100
to be able to go and explore, go and discover,

20
00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:40.860
and also go and experiment on things that we find to be,

21
00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:45.360
things that we can put our brand towards,

22
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:46.440
put our time towards,

23
00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:47.760
put our capital towards,

24
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:50.040
that we know will have significant impact on the community.

25
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:52.980
<v ->How did you decide which areas to explore yourself?</v>

26
00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:53.813
<v ->You know, the thing is,</v>

27
00:00:53.813 --> 00:00:55.440
for me, I wanted to talk about things

28
00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:56.700
that were authentic to me.

29
00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:58.650
So I dealt with food insecurity as a child.

30
00:00:58.650 --> 00:00:59.790
So I spent time

31
00:00:59.790 --> 00:01:02.100
and still spend time talking about food insecurity,

32
00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:03.990
making sure that we have access to food,

33
00:01:03.990 --> 00:01:06.390
not only domestically there in America, but also abroad.

34
00:01:06.390 --> 00:01:07.440
And then I wanted to make sure

35
00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:09.360
that I had access to science, technology, engineering,

36
00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:10.193
arts, and math,

37
00:01:10.193 --> 00:01:13.260
to be exposed to the global economy

38
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:15.690
and how things are changing from a technical standpoint.

39
00:01:15.690 --> 00:01:18.300
So making sure that the things that I didn't have,

40
00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:21.090
exploring and spending time in those areas

41
00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:23.010
where I know it will be a significant impact.

42
00:01:23.010 --> 00:01:24.510
<v ->You mentioned their authenticity.</v>

43
00:01:24.510 --> 00:01:26.130
I imagine that's, you know,

44
00:01:26.130 --> 00:01:27.300
one of the main things

45
00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:30.450
that people need when they're going forward like this.

46
00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:31.800
What other advice would you have

47
00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:34.230
for anyone who's not quite sure how to get started?

48
00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:35.310
<v ->You know, I think you have to find</v>

49
00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:37.020
what are you truly passionate about.

50
00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:38.250
Like, what wakes you up?

51
00:01:38.250 --> 00:01:39.270
What gets you going?

52
00:01:39.270 --> 00:01:40.680
When you spend time away from home,

53
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.360
when you spend time away from family,

54
00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:44.070
what's really driving you?

55
00:01:44.070 --> 00:01:46.080
And if you have those types of things in mind,

56
00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:49.290
you'll be able to find exactly where to plant that flag,

57
00:01:49.290 --> 00:01:50.700
have that tent pole event,

58
00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:52.350
be able to go out into the field and serve.

59
00:01:52.350 --> 00:01:54.900
And it'll be, again, authentically you.

60
00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:55.733
<v ->Fantastic.</v>

61
00:01:55.733 --> 00:01:56.566
Thank you so much.

62
00:01:56.566 --> 00:01:57.399
<v ->Anytime.</v>
