00:00Why I wanted to open it? Create a playful space for kids and families to be safe
00:05and happy and learn and develop. It goes back to purpose and to have an impact on
00:12society and getting children to develop and learn and be happy. That's
00:18what it's about and have a connection with families.
00:20And how does that connect to some of the work that you've done with Doctors Without Borders and overseas?
00:26So previously it was having an impact when people needed it at that emergency moment.
00:31Now it's about having a long-term impact and developing children and helping
00:36families with connectivity and supporting education and being playful
00:40and I think that developmental phase, having a safe space.
00:44Power Ninjas is a fitness facility for not just young kids but also the older generation that want to come in and get fit.
00:54Majority of the stuff we've ever done in the past has been gym related and I feel
00:59like it's a bit stale for a lot of people to be doing that mundane
01:03stuff all the time. And also for kids I think it's really important to get them
01:09out and get some activity.
01:11So we're putting Alex and Alex to the test.
01:13How do you think he's going to do?
01:15We'll see.
01:19What can I say?
01:21Bounce. Off school's not in my strong suit so we'll just see what the second half has for us.
