In a brief YouTube dialogue, a young person shares that their parents want them to focus solely on school and oppose starting a business. An older mentor‑type speaker responds by encouraging entrepreneurship alongside education, challenging the youth to set a concrete 12‑month revenue target of at least $100,000. The speaker offers to connect the youth with a successful mentor named Hunter, emphasizes that school should still be attended but every moment not spent on school should be devoted to building the business, and expresses confidence that the youth will eventually have a success story to share.

My parents, like, don't want me to start a business. They just want me to focus on school. You want to start a business? How much money you want to make? As much as I can. Pick a number in 12 months. What are you going to make in a year? At least $100,000. $100,000 a year. I'm going to get you a mentor. Do you want a mentor? Yeah. A guy that's really successful making money? Yeah. Hunter, will you mentor him? I'm not saying don't go to school. You got to go to school. Yeah. But every second of every day you're not doing the school thing, attack the business. Can you do that? Yes. I'm looking forward to hearing the success story. You.
