Hi, I'm Steve Mercil. I'm here in upstate New York as I'm biking to the area, getting to Portland, Maine, because I've been biking across the country to raise money for a fellowship program. What's that tell us a program about the fellowship, we'll provide a $10,000 stipend for you to work part time with our organization, to get in the room for the non Hollywood version of Shark Tank, and interact with our investment groups, and entrepreneurs to learn about this business of investing. I've been involved in economic development for over 40 years, I've spent a career helping entrepreneurs get capital from the business, so putting investors and entrepreneurs together. So this is a way for me to give back to others, to learn what I learned. It's an apprenticeship business. It's hard to learn this in a book. So we're going to give you a chance to get in the room and be a practice and learn about this industry, how it works so that you can be successful in your endeavors of the future. I want to stress that this is for young people, you don't necessarily have to be going to call it but it could be a young person working in a career want to make a career change. My ideal candidate was maybe someone who has less experience and maybe less connections than others, but shows a real commitment to learning and being coached and a desire to make a difference in the world, not just for themselves but for others. The fellowship program reminds me of a geographical location I visited on the bike trip. Lake Itasca, Lake Itasca is the headwaters of the Mississippi River. The amazing thing of it is, it's literally a stream that's probably not much wider than my living room. And you can see when you're there, you can see from the film that the the pores on the rocks and, and it's very tiny. And then that, that that mighty river becomes bigger and bigger and bigger, and you get down to Redway, Minnesota, Lake Pepin, and it's the largest natural lake on the Mississippi. It's just beautiful scenery. It's the same for the fellowship program. You start out small and you grow and you have a big impact on other people. If you're interested in this fellowship program, the Appalachian industrial Alliance website we'll be posting applications in January of 2022.
