“LEVERAGE, which is part of the new the new 4EVER TEXAS program, is composed of four main areas of focus: Personal Branding & Brand Management, Business Formation & Entrepreneurship, Opportunity Management and Financial Literacy,”

I love it! They are not just dumping money on kids they are educating them on all facets of business. I applaud Texas for having an education "plan" for their NIL Recruiting strategy.
