All of them are part of The Business Bunch
Every character here is part of The Business Bunch. Some are still learning. These three crews are characters who learn and grow.
The Bad Guys
"We don't follow rules, we make our own... and break 'em!"
They keep making bad choices that keep them broke and in trouble. Can the Business Bunch show them a better way? The Bad Guys aren't bad kids. They're kids who need direction, discipline and a real opportunity. Their turning point: the Business Bunch shows them there's more money in a legit plan than in a life of crime.
- Folk, age 10, the talker. Lesson: "Words don't make you a boss, a plan does."
- Teddy, age 10, the follower. Lesson: "Real respect comes from making better choices."
- Bruce, age 11, the muscle. Lesson: "Control your anger or it will control your future."
- Dillon, age 10, the instigator. Lesson: "Humility opens doors. Ego closes them."
The Bullies Crew
"Tough on the outside. Good on the inside."
They bully because they're hurt and just want to belong. Star and Lady Free show them a different way. Now they are The Bunch Security Team: they protect the business, stop bullying, keep everyone safe, watch over events, break up fights and teach respect.
- Tank, age 11, "The Leader". "Who's got a problem?". Lesson: "Strength is protecting people, not hurting them."
- Rex, age 10, "The Hot Head". "Say that again!". Lesson: "Real power is self-control."
- Big Mo, age 11, "The Follower". "I was just playing!". Lesson: "Don't follow the crowd. Lead with kindness."
The We Don't Listen Crew
"We know we should listen... we just don't wanna!" Motto: "If you won't listen, life will teach you."
They learn to listen, make better choices and turn their attitude into opportunity.
- Kay Kay, age 10, "Miss I Know Everything". Lesson: "Being smart means knowing when to listen."
- Dre, age 9, "Mr. I Got This". Lesson: "Asking questions doesn't make you weak, it makes you wise."
