This YouTube video (uploaded Jan 5, 2024) is a monologue by Stephen Scoggins describing the founding of the "aim" community. The speaker explains they began without a clear vision but followed a faith-led calling to build a community focused on ambition, personal responsibility, and helping others—one person at a time. The message emphasizes faith, stewardship, and the ripple effect of individual actions on loved ones and community.

When I started aim, I didn't have a clear vision of what it was going to be. I just was trying to be obedient to what God put on my heart. And it was to step out in faith and to build a community and bring one person at a time into this group where we could say, listen, I don't know what you're going through, I don't know what you've been through, but I know for a fact that if you live your life with ambition and you keep pushing and you don't make excuses and you take ownership of the things that you can control, I promise you, your life will look different. Your life will be better. And not only will your life be better, but the people around you's life will be better. And that was big for me because I saw that everything stems back to my childhood. But I saw how one person's actions and decisions doesn't only impact their life, but the people that they touch and the people that they love. You know, that was my mission and that was our team's mission. And it was so cool to say, look, God, you bless this and you grow this how you want to. It's fully in your hands. If it gets to millions of people, that's amazing. That's obvious. I would love to reach more people, but I want my heart to stay pure. We can help one person at a time. That's all that matters.
