YMA Chat - Episode One
Woo hoo! All right. Welcome welcome welcome everybody to Jared's Matt chat. This is our new Yma
chat Videocast and I am Coach Les and along with, uh, Sensei Yang from Yarwood Martial Arts, Mr.
John Yarwood is in the house. And I just want to take a moment to introduce myself. And then I will let
him introduce himself. And as you can see, my information is on the picture. And, uh, we'll get Mr.
Yarwood to put his, uh, contact info up also in there. Um, this is our first edition, so there might be some
hiccups along the way here, so bear with us. Um, my goal today is to first introduce me, introduce Mr.
Yarwood, and he will tell you kind of our vision and mission for this videocast over the next few months.
And I want to thank you for your time. We are broadcasting on a couple of Facebook pages and, uh,
LinkedIn, YouTube and X, and we will be increasing that to another YouTube page here. Uh, once we
get approval. And just looking forward to making a difference with today's youth. I am a an integrity
coach. What I deal with is communication, accountability, relationship sales and all of that which we use
communication to level up our businesses. I've been a business coach now for 21 years and I absolutely
love making a difference with people. No matter where they're at in the stage of their business, whether
they have a $50 million business with over 200 employees, or if it is a solopreneur that is just getting
started. I like the thought that I get to make a difference. With other people. With all of the training that
has been given to me over the past several decades, it's my turn to give back. And this is one of the ways
in which I can do it. So thank you so much, Mr. Yarwood, for giving me another opportunity to give
back. And I'm going to pass the mic over to you to share a little bit about who you are. And then once
you've done that, we'll get going with the introduction. Thank you, sir. Uh, my name is Mr. John
Yarwood. I am, uh, fifth degree black belt. Uh, I'm the owner and head instructor. Chief instructor at
Yara's Martial Arts located in Champlin, Minnesota. Uh, we have been in, uh, in business now for
coming up on 11 years. Uh, we started a little bit back in the day on in 2013 at a gymnastics school
located in Maple Grove, uh, with one day classes, um, with three students. And we moved from there
into Grace Fellowship Church just down the road from where we're located right now. Spent three years
there while we were growing, and we are now currently in, uh, up in, in Champlin Marketplace in, uh,
about 114th or so in Champlin in a location there. We have currently probably standing at about 90
students. So we've been growing and growing and growing and it's just getting better and better, better to
increase the size of our mats, all that kind of stuff. So, uh, I have been a martial artist now for 16 years.
Like I said, I'm a fifth degree black belt working towards my sixth degree. Um, I have, uh, I've been, uh,
enjoying martial arts. It gets better and better all the time, and I've now been able to turn it into a business
and be able to share my vision and my passion with other students and pass that on, um, to the future. So
it's been something that's been pretty awesome for me. And then, um, I have the fortune, uh, good fortune
of having my son, uh, who has been training since he was three, just turned 18. He is graduating from
high school, and now he is going to be my full time head instructor and eventually going to be taking
over the business from me. So, uh, I've seen it personally, firsthand what it is, what the legacy can be and
what what the future can hold for it. So I just, uh, I appreciate being able to to pass that legacy on to
others. Awesome. And today, one of the things that we kind of came up with is an idea. To get the ball
rolling was to give you an an introduction to Mr. Yarwood. Introduction is one of the things that we
have. Uh, he and I kind of. Collaborated on this whole piece of being able to see the difference. That
having Yarwood having martial arts as a basis for your life. The difference it can make for kids in school
with ADHD and OCD. Um, anxiety disorders. And, you know, just in my short time, uh, just a little
under two years, I've seen such amazing breakthroughs with some of the kids that have joined, um, and
breakthroughs with myself. And I wanted to do this and come on and share, not only from a perspective
of Mr. Yarwood is the. Instructor owner and this is his business, but also from one of the senior. Age
wise, um, members of his organization. And with all of the experience that I've had leading uh, classes
over, I worked for a personal training and development company for ten years. And have coached almost
5000 people. And I just see such a wonderful opportunity for people to mix martial arts into their
everyday life and what that does for them health wise, stress wise, mental wise, physical, all of the
emotional, all of it. It teaches. It provides it instructs it coaches such a dramatic shift in life. So to start
that off, I'm going to pull up a PowerPoint and I'm going to let Mr. Yarwood go through his introduction.
And then, uh, between the two of us, we may do some Q&A back and forth, and then we'll shut down for
our first session. And by the way, if you are watching this live, which I know right now, four people are
watching it live, um, three on, uh. Less is more. Coaching. X, formerly known as Twitter and one on
Jared's Martial Arts Facebook page. So if you have questions, you can actually type them in and they will
pop up in our comment section. And I will do my best as the host to answer those. Um, to also put them
on the screen because we can put them much like I can. Um, let's see if I can use this as a demonstration.
Here's, um, here's the banner to my website. Right. Uh, here's the banner to, um, like, a little ticker. That's
for my phone number and email. So we can, you know, share those comments. Very much like that. All
right. So with that, I'm going to hand it over to you, Mr. Yarwood. And I'm going to pop this bad boy up.
All right, let me hide that. And there we go. So this is the beginning. And let me. If there's anything you
need as we go through, Mr. Yarwood, let me know. Cool. So this is, uh, the intro that I do if you come in
as as a prospect to our classes, we will put you or your or your child into an intro lesson. A physical intro
lesson. We'll teach them a few basic moves. Teach them how to stand properly, how to answer loudly,
how to be respectful, and all that stuff. Just kind of teach them how class works. Um, and then I'll sit
down with Mom and Dad and go over, uh, basically what our program is, what it has to offer, and see if
it can't be something that is good fit for your family. So we start off with just by talking about, um, who
we are. We're, uh, yard's martial arts. We're a a school that is represented by National Martial Arts, uh,
Alliance, which is headquartered in Denver. We have 75 schools nationwide, and we have some
international schools as well. Uh, South Africa, Australia, Peru are all represented as well as Canada.
And, um, that is important in the fact that we are we are a nationally recognized martial arts, uh,
organization. And we have, um, we have representation pretty much anywhere you want to go. So if you
have to find other schools for, you know, purposes of moving or whatever, that, that you'll always be able
to find a family, uh, wherever it is you go. So we kind of, we make sure that we have that opportunity for
everybody who is part of our school. The first thing we talk about when we're doing martial arts,
obviously, is physical conditioning. So, uh, there's three main components that we work on. First thing is
going to be a balance when it comes to balance. Balance is something that can't be trained. It just needs
to be practiced. And a lot of the training that we do with our kicking and moving around and jumping,
uh, balances is something that gets worked on constantly. It's vital to all of the moves that we're doing, all
the forms that we're doing, anything that we're doing with with the physical movement. And then
coordination comes into play where, um, much or unlike like soccer or football or basketball,
coordination with us is a little bit different in that all four limbs are moving at the same time, but they're
doing different things. Um, sometimes we're jumping and landing on one foot while we're kicking.
Sometimes we're doing, uh, two hand combinations where both hands are doing something different
while our feet are moving as well. So it takes a little bit more coordination to be able to do those things.
First few classes we see people struggle a lot, but as they start to figure it out, it becomes a little bit easier
for them. So coordination is a huge part of what we do. And then flexibility depending on your age,
someone like myself or Mr. Less flexibility is a little bit more of a struggle. Uh, whereas little kids
flexibility comes natural to them. So it just the more kicking and practicing that you're doing, the more
flexible you're going to become with our our program. The next one is the most important piece for us.
The life skills that we teach, uh, using martial arts. Um, we have nine different life skills that we focus
on. And each, uh, each testing cycle, which lasts about, um, eight weeks, we focus on one in particular.
So like currently we are working on goals and what goals mean and how they can be implemented into,
uh, regular everyday life outside of the dojo. So, um, when we talk about our life skills, we don't just tell
them what life skills are like. We don't just say goals are something to strive for. We actually give them,
uh, examples of what goals are. And we use we usually use our black belt itself to, to implement those
goals, like what it takes to become a black belt, what steps they have to take in order to get their each
rank that they have to earn. And then each along those, each rank, they have to earn stripes along the
way. So we break it down into smaller and smaller goals. And then we ask them how they can implement
that outside of the dojo. How can they set goals for themselves at school? How can they set goals for
themselves at home? What kind of things that they can do to become better people, better, better, uh,
community members? So all those types of things we also do obviously respect by bowing, saying, yes
sir, yes, ma'am, showing respect to each other, speaking to each other properly, uh, discipline, self
esteem. All of them are covered. So we make sure that all this stuff is built into our program so our kids
can really get a real grasp of what these things have, uh, for them when it comes to life in general. And as
they get older, obviously they're going to need all these things. So it's a big part of what we do actually is
the most important part. The next thing we work on what we do is taekwondo, which is a self-defense
martial art based, uh, in Korea. Uh, for for our purposes, we use it to it's not a fight that we're trying to
get people into. It's a defense of themselves. So we teach them how to be able to defend themselves, both
physically, but more importantly, how to defend themselves with by using the confidence that they have
built to be able to tell people that to leave them alone, to, uh, act as, as if they don't want to be messed
with in the first place. When kids have confidence, um, in themselves, it sends a message to others that
they're not somebody that can be messed with. Bullies typically pick on people who struggle with selfesteem, who struggle socially. They are awkward, all those types of things. So we teach them the
confidence first, to be able to walk with with straight shoulders and feel like they're, uh, important and
that they're not to be messed with. And then the next level of that is a strong voice. So if they're having a
voice for themselves to be able to, uh, to advocate for themselves, to use that voice, to tell people to leave
them alone, whatever the case may be, that helps to build their confidence as well. And then finally, if it
if unfortunately, it comes to physical, we teach them how to be able to break away from situations and
get to safety. We teach them that safety is most important, not standing and fighting. So we make sure
that they're they're using the physical abilities to get away and then get to safety and go tell somebody
about what's going on to hopefully, uh, help them out of that situation. So, uh, our self-defense and
bullying stuff is, is vital to everything that we do because we have a lot of kids, unfortunately, in our
school that get bullied. And, uh, we've had a lot of good stories about them being able to take that
situation and turn around and become comfortable at school and not worry about any of that kind of
situation. So it's been very effective tool that we use for teaching our kids. Uh, we have a belt system.
Just like all martial arts. We have, uh, nine different colored belts that our kids earn, uh, from white
through red. And all of those belts are broken into half steps. So each belt, they they do twice. One is a
low rank and one is a high rank of each color. So, uh, we slow it down to build the, the foundation for
what it is that they're going to be learning once they get to the black belt level. So it takes about three
years to get from white belt to red belt, and then they'll spend a year in our, our, uh, red black program,
which is our basically our, our, um, probationary period for them. They'll spend a year training not only
physically, but they're going to be learning a lot of other things as well. That's going to help them become
a better black belt. Uh, we have them write some essays about what it is that what it means for them to
become a black belt, why it's important to them. There's another essay we talked to them about, uh,
saying thank you to those that help them get their, uh, they have to do a presentation in front of their
peers. Of all the, of, uh, physical stuff that they've learned, uh, give a speech about why it is that they're
doing what they're doing. Uh, they have to do 12 hours of community service along the way. They have
to write, uh, they have to study, actually, the history of taekwondo and what what it is, where it comes
from and how it got to where it is now. Uh, it's just a big part of what we're doing. We want to make sure
that it's not just a physical thing that they're doing, but a life, a life journey that they're on and that they
continue it. Uh, the first, first stripe that they'll earn along each. So we do stripes during our testing
cycles. Uh, they have to earn six different stripes to make sure that they're ready to test for their next belt.
So the first one is the red one. It's just basic moves. Any blocks, kicks or strikes that they need to learn.
We cover those. We make sure that they understand them. And then once they demonstrate that they
know those, they'll they'll earn their red stripe on their belt. The next one is the white stripe. They're
going to be practicing taking those moves and putting them into a pattern or a form. Uh, and then they're
going to take that form and they're going to memorize it, and then they're going to show us that they
know all of those moves. The reason for that is that they can take the moves that they've learned and put
them, uh, one right after the other. So they not just a single move at a time, but actually combinations of
moves, hands and feet are moving at the same time. They're doing directional stuff, they're doing
jumping, they're doing turning all those different things that go into, uh, into our forms. Well, the next
rate that they'll earn is the black stripe. It's the color knowledge stripe. So they're actually learning about
taekwondo what it means. Uh, we review the life skill. We review what our organization, uh, history is,
those types of things. So the black stripe is that that next one. It's just the knowledge stripe of learning
about taekwondo and what we do, uh, our purple stripe is one of our most important stripes. It's our
community service stripe. So it's we call it the good, the good, the good citizen stripe. So we require two,
uh, activities of of community service every testing cycle, essentially one every month. Now, we don't
require them to go to, say, feed my starving children or anything like that. While that is an opportunity
for them, our goal is to teach them to give without any expectation of anything in return. So, uh, they can
do anything, like I said, from Feed my Starving Children to helping out their neighbor take out the trash,
helping an elderly, uh, person at a nursing home, helping out grandma and grandpa, whatever it is going
around the neighborhood, picking up trash, making their neighborhood look clean. Whatever it is, it's the
goal, like I said, is to teach them to give without any expectation of return. So, uh, they'll earn that purple
stripe by doing that, spending some time, um, giving of themselves. And then the next stripe is the
yellow stripe. The all strip is our most important stripe, I believe, is because it's everything that happens
outside of the dojo. So we have we have a we work on the triangle system where we have uh, the first
part of the triangle is the dojo. So everything that they're learning inside, teaching, uh, taekwondo and all
the life skills. The second part of that triangle is, uh, at school. So making sure that they're doing all their
homework, getting all their studies done, that they're learning, progressing. They're being good students.
They're being respectful to their to their teachers, to their families, all that kind of stuff that's happens in
school. Uh, we have them fill out a sheet, bring it to their teacher. Their teacher will evaluate how they're
doing, and then we'll give the teacher an opportunity to have us come in and visit them at their in their
classroom. We'll do a bully seminar or a respect seminar, whatever it is the teacher is looking for. And
then we'll have the teacher, uh, or that that student help me teach the class. And then at the end of that
class, which is usually about 20 minutes or so, that student gets to break a board in front of all of his
peers. Uh, it's a lot of fun. They have a good time. The kids are screaming and laughing, and then we pull
the surprise out where we have the teacher break a board in front of all the kids. So that's usually the best
part. We put that on video, put it on our Facebook page. The kids absolutely love it. Teachers go crazy.
It's just an awesome time. And then we hand out some treats to them just to kind of say thank you for
having us in. And we have, uh, finish up and we have a great time. And then after we leave, I'm sure that
that kid becomes the star of their class. So it's super cool. And then they can invite their friends to come
in and try, uh, martial arts with us and see how see how much fun it is, see what the it is that they're
learning and just kind of be part of what they're already what they're already doing at our school. So it's
an awesome opportunity to show their friends what it is that they're learning. And the second part of that,
and the third piece of the triangle is the at home part. So we expect all of our students to, um, show all
their life skills all the time. And that includes at home, especially at home with mom and dad. And part of
that is, um, doing, uh, the things that they know they're supposed to be doing, like their chores. So if they
have to do, you know, clean up their room, make their bed, those types of things that they're doing those
chores on a regular basis and doing, not only doing them on a regular basis, but making sure that they're
doing them without being told to do them, because all kids know the chores that they're supposed to do.
Mom and dad have already told them that, and it's not Mom and Dad's job to continue to get after them
for those chores. It's their it's their responsibility to make sure those chores are done. We have a chore
chart that the kids can access, and parents can access that they can keep track of all those chores and, uh,
they can earn stars or whatever it is that the parent wants to do. And then about every two weeks, we
evaluate how they're doing, checking up on them, making sure that they're they're doing all that stuff.
And if they're doing well, uh, they're going to get something like take them out to ice cream at Collins Ice
Cream and Champlin or, uh, whatever it is that, that those kids want to do for, uh, just to celebrate the
fact that they're doing all the things that they're, that that is required of them. Our goal is for our kids to
do these things without having to get after them constantly, because if we're always talking to them about
what it is that they need to do, telling them what to do, asking them about stuff they're never going to
learn, that they have to do things on their own. So the goal is to have them have that ability to take care
of things on their own. And then that leads us into the next part, which is our leadership piece. All people
within the family have a leadership role to play, whether it be mom and dad or the little kids. When it
comes to little kids. Leadership looks like helping mom and dad around the house with chores that aren't
necessarily there. So say mom is making dinner. We go in and say, hey mom, can I help set the table? Or
mom, should I clear the table for you or dad, can I help with weeding the garden or whatever that is? Um,
they're going to want to go out and assist in whatever it is needs to be done around the house. And that
also the looking at that, we're trying to get them to do that without being told to do it or being asked to do
it. They just see something needs to get done and they go do it. And that comes from the encouragement
of the family, of the parents saying, hey, you know, we really appreciate what you're doing around the
house. It helps us out a lot when you, you know, when you put away the dishes for us after dinner or you,
um, you know, you're helping dad with the with the yard work when we got that extra help, it makes
everything better. So we really appreciate that same thing. Take them out, celebrate it. You know, thanks
for helping out around the house, mom and dad really appreciate it and recognize that they're doing those
things because kids want attention. Whether it be good or bad, they're going to try and get it. And if they
get more good attention, that's better for everybody. So we don't have any yelling in the house. We don't
have any, you know, any disagreements. It's just okay, everybody's doing their part to make sure that the
household is running smoothly. Kids are learning how to take care of themselves. So that's an awesome
thing. And then finally we have our our purple belt. Is the purple or sorry, not purple stripe. The black
blue stripe. Blue stripe is our our ready to test stripe. We we go back and look make sure all the other
stripes are on their belt. They've earned everything. Uh, they'll show us their form again, recognize that
they have been doing their community service and all the stuff at home. If they have all those things in
place, they'll get their blue stripe. And the blue stripe tells everybody that they're ready to test. So then
testing comes along. They'll get out on the floor. They'll they'll do their form, all their board breaks, all
the stuff that they learned in the past eight weeks of class. If they pass the test, they'll get their new belt.
And then the whole thing starts all over again with earning the red stripe, white stripe, black stripe all the
way down. So we do that every eight weeks until they get to red belt, and then they start working on
getting their black belt. So a lot of stuff to to go over and cover. But it helps the kids to keep on track,
helps mom and dad to understand where we are in that in that cycle for them earning, um, their black
belt. Uh, we do a 48 month curriculum when it comes to our our karate kids and older. Uh, it takes, like I
said, it takes three years to get to red belt, and then another year of training as a recommended black belt
before they're, uh, eligible to test for their first degree. Now, it could take more time than 48 months,
depending on how much work the kid is doing or not doing. But usually it's not going to take less. Uh,
we try and we try and make sure that kids are getting all the basics, the foundations of everything, before
they're ready to test for that black belt. And then they have to be approved by our, our staff to be able to
test for that black belt and to get them ready for it. So it takes a lot of time. It's an investment. But
ultimately I think it's worth it. And it pays off, uh, for that student in the long run. And then our class
schedule. We meet classes, uh, white, white, orange, yellow belts. Beginner's meet four days a week.
Um, they come in and they get a lot of training. And obviously, the more that they're there, the more
they're going to get out of the program. So we encourage our parents to fit as many classes per week into
their schedule as possible, show up on time, uh, get as much done as we can. So that way, uh, the kid is
progressing on a on a path towards their black belt. Uh, our curriculum. Obviously, we work like we
talked about traditional forms and the self-defense. We also do weapons, which is probably everybody's
favorite. We do for the younger kids. Younger, uh, sorry. Lower ranks. We do nunchucks, which is
probably everybody's favorite. We do a bow staff, which is a long stick, and then we do a short stick
called the collie stick. Um, and then we rotate those around through our cycle. So the kids are getting the
basic knowledge of how to utilize these weapons. Um, they're not used for, obviously for fighting or any
of that kind of stuff. They just, um, expand the hand-eye coordination kids of what they're already doing
and then also, um, helps them to understand, to respect, um, their weapons, to not use them in a, in a
negative way. Um, and they also have an opportunity to take all these things that they're doing and then
compete in tournaments, which you have about for a year. They can go in and, uh, put themselves up
against other kids at their level and their rank and see how they do and just kind of have fun. And we
have a state championship, uh, program so kids can actually earn a state championship in what they're
doing. So it's much like football or soccer where they're going to training, and then they get to go and
perform and, uh, and compete. So it's, it's a, it's an individual thing that they get to go out and do and just
enjoy spending time meeting new friends and competing with with those with their peers. So our black
belt program, we have a $277 initial investment that will cover a basic gear package to cover the first
month's tuition and a uniform. And then, um, we have a biweekly tuition of $99 and that covers all
classes plus all the gear and whatnot. Um, and then we do six month and 12 month programs for that. So
depending on what it is that you're looking for, we can get you into a program that's going to work for
you. And then we also have a family program that's a 347 initial investment and all members of the
family. So it's not just two. If there's four members in your family that will cover all four, everybody gets
the gear package, everybody gets the uniform. And then the full the full schedule. So in that that is a 179
biweekly, uh, investment that will help your family. It's a lot of fun for families to come in and train with
each other. Unlike soccer or football, you actually get to practice with your child. And you also, if you
want to compete with your child, which is something you would never get to do with the other ones. So
it's a lot of fun. It builds strong family bonds. It makes it fun. We get to travel together, hang out
together, be a community together. And it's it's a wonderful opportunity for all of our families to be able
to do that and spend some quality time together. They can print at home. Everything that they do will
involve martial arts and some frame or fashion, so it's an all around awesome opportunity for families to
spend a lot of time together. So are you ready to begin the journey of a lifetime train like your black belt?
And the journey begins with your first step getting signed up, getting on the mats and getting started. So
thank you for your time. I appreciate it and hopefully we'll get you going on the mats. Woo woo. Love it,
love it, love it. So thank you, Mr. Yarwood. I think this is a great basis now and over the next few weeks,
um, as we do these video chats, we'll explain and maybe go into some depth, do some testimonials, share
some things that have happened inside of many of those different slides, the 11 slides that we looked at.
And so our goal is not only to be the provider of martial arts for our family, also to be a filter for
transforming their communication. Person to person. Student to parent. Parent to student. Student to
school and school to student. And you might think it interesting. Well, how are you going to impact the
school, Mr. Yarwood? To know that. He's been doing it now for this many years. He's seen, even without
his push or effort, the impact of the one child showing up in their classroom that is on track. So with that,
I'm super thankful for all of those of you that have listened. Those of you that have come in and go out,
come in and go out. Um, that's what the beauty of this is, because you can come in, click it, listen to it,
pause it, come back again. And I'm so grateful for that ability. And inside of that. Uh, Mr. Yarwood,
thank you so much. Um, I see that this is a good point for us to kind of pause and let people listen to all
of this, let it sink in, maybe come up with some questions for next week. Um, and. It is a wonderful,
wonderful opportunity to spread the word as far and and wide as you can. Because even for those of you
that may be listening, because I have a lot of people that I'm connected to in India and Singapore, uh, and
France. Even people that are living in those places. You can take the information you're learning here
today and reach out to some of the managers, owners of some of the restaurants. And create a fun space.
Share with people PTA, PTO, parent teacher organizations. So thank you so much. To each and every
one of you. Mr. Yarwood, any closing thoughts? Um, yeah. So I love this opportunity to be able to to get
our get out what we do, how we can impact people beyond just the physical. Uh, I feel like karate to
some people might just be an activity to me. It's a lifestyle. I believe that it has great value to everybody
who comes and trains. Um, the biggest thing is, the only way you're going to find out that value is to
come and do it. Come and try it out. You can, uh, jump on the mats, try a few classes and see what you
think. Have conversations about what your goals are in life. Maybe we can help you with your physical
fitness goals. Maybe we can help you with your. You're struggling with some some self-confidence
issues, some body issues, whatever that is. We can cover all that stuff. We're we're, um, we have a lot of
families. We have a lot of adults. We have, like, Coach Lasse himself comes and trains with us. We have
anywhere from four year olds up to 60 year olds and everything in between. So there's a there's a place
for you if you're interested. Just come try it out. And, uh, it takes a lot of courage to get out there. But
you'll get out there, you'll have some fun and you'll enjoy it. And, uh, it'll probably be a great decision for
you and your family, so I appreciate spending the time with you, and hopefully we'll see you on the mats.
And we will be back here next week, approximately the same time on Thursday morning. Um, running
into Thursday afternoon, as you can see, over the noon hour. And we'll also, um, be bringing, uh, we'll
have a QR code that you can connect to. Um, we'll stick it out and you can connect to it. And what's
what's at the other end of that QR code, Mister Yarwood? Uh, we have a special $29 for six weeks of
training. It comes with a uniform. Come and try out our classes. Know, uh, you know, $29 investment,
and you'll find out exactly what we're all about and hopefully get you going on your journey to becoming
a black belt. Awesome. And with that, I am going to. Do a little, uh. Let's see if I can do this, and then
we'll come back and say cheerio. All right. Well, thank you so much, Mr. Yarwood, for your time. And
for those of you that listened, that listen in the future to this, we really appreciate it. And, uh, once again,
look forward to connecting with you. Um, we'll have some more ways to connect as we go forward. And
