Let me actually read a post here real quick, Hala.

And then I want to dive into our first topic.

This is a post that is a little bit

parallel, and you'll see where I'm going with this.

So it was a Glassdoor post.

Someone says, I worked in toxic environments where HR didn't exist, or worse, was married to the boss.

Yikes.

In one job, I was pressured to drink an energy drink just to prove I was a team player.

We know this threat, right?

And another, I couldn't escape a CEO's intimidation because her husband, the COO, was the only authority figure.

This goes on and on and on.

I'm going to stop there.

My point is, this is a totally radical story here, but at the same time, Hala, there is this theme, and you had a realization when you had a dream job, so to speak, but then when that dream job ejects you.

Did you have anything even similar?

Was there any sort of toxicity or anything like that within where you worked?

Or was it more or less what you would describe, which is you're going in every day after all of this being booted out?

And we'll get to the success and stuff later, but we're looking for that inception story.

Well, you came from the MTV space, Matt.

You know this too well.

So I want to take it to that pivot point in your story here and then talk about, it wasn't really even a reemergence.
