Int. w/Brian Kraft - 2a variety of reasons, um, it also is -- it can be a verydamaging thing to, you know, entrepreneurs, business owners,business -- businesses, um, schools, organizations, etcetera.[00:01:03]And, you know, we all have -- I think many of us haveexperienced this in one form or the other. I mean all over theradio now you have ads for companies that manage yourreputation, um, and there’s a reason for that. The reason isbecause a lot of these, uh, a lot of people can get on theInternet and say whatever they wanna say. [LAUGHS][00:01:27]Um, the computer, the laptop and the desktop, have given thecommon person, the average person, um, a lot of power, the powerof words. And that’s a good thing.

Int. w/Brian Kraft - 3subject to, um, you know, false claims about us. Whether it bean ex-girlfriend or an ex-boyfriend or an ex-wife or an ex-husband or a parent, or, you know, someone who’s upset with usbecause they didn’t feel they got treated right, that’s fine andit’s important that people voice their opinions.[00:02:31]But there are two sides to every story. Is recordingconnection, radio connection and film connection a scam?Absolutely not. You know, I’m a man of integrity. I wouldnever be a part of anything that was a scam. We’ve made -- Iwould say honestly -- if you look at our student body, I wouldsay nine -- I could honestly say 90 percent of our student bodyand graduates are happy with the education they received withthe radio, recording and film connection programs -- 90 percent.[00:03:10]Ten percent -- then there’s ten percent who are unhappy. Nowfive to six percent of those people are unhappy for their ownreasons. They wanted to finish the program but they couldn’tbecause they got a divorce. Or they got sick or they had tomove. Okay so now we’re at 95 percent and then there’s fivepercent who are unhappy with us and I would say two and a halfout of that five percent have actually really good reasons.
