The Young Minds Foundation empowers others by teaching Potentialism through chess-boxing, obstacle running, and internet business building.
Founding Principles
- Potentialism
- Energy Maximization from Fitness and Nutrition
- Mentorship
- Positivity through Adversity
- Entrepreneurship
We turn the disadvantaged into scholar-athlete job-creators by pairing each youth with a gifted student athlete to build camaraderie and sustain a rhythm of life through mutual training and goal setting.
Benefit to the mentor
The elder student enrolls for a term of 1 year and benefits from receiving advanced training in their area of focus, broaden their life experience, and add a unique experience to their resume for college or the job market.
Benefit to the Protégé
Transformed by encouraging environment, positive role model, and training received. Students leave with the knowledge they can do anything they set their mind to.
Benefit to the Community
Kalamazoo could gain national acclaim by becoming a mecca for scholar athletes and a beacon of positive change.
Training and Courses
Chess boxing, obstacle running, and entrepreneurship courses while outsourcing musical and artistic education.
For-profit Business Plan
To achieve self-sustainment, my company, Ideabuds, will seek to contract the manufacturing of 3 simple product prototypes and license to distributors such as Nike, Adidas, Everlast, etc. as well as teach our students to develop successful businesses of their own.

I love this idea. So many young individuals are in need of guidance in this age of single parent homes, gang activities and the lack of knowledge and or ambition to gain a better and more productive life.
Please let me know if you are in need of my help. I have no degree, but lots of common sense. Thank you for the opportunity to view this through FaceBook!
Have a great day RJ… Miss you lots!
