I think it's just an observation that we need to be clear on because, yeah, the access is just getting unlimited.

Yeah do you know what I will say I for years never took a holiday really like really now I am totally able to if I choose to right and I put the emphasis on if I choose to because there's an element of your brain is always on or it goes to a different pattern which I also really enjoy where

in work I maybe don't have enough headspace that I want because I'm back to back with calls or meetings or sign-offs when I go away then I get a little bit clearer headspace and then great ideas come so I switch into a different mode of work yeah that doesn't feel like work but I think anybody who's self-employed would probably relate to that yeah it's just it's just the reality um but

you're never off genuinely if you are the owner.

Like, so, you know, something didn't go right when I was away, for example, at the start of the year.

And there was an escalation call to me in my last week in Australia.

So I spent, you know, till 4 a.m.

on calls one night.

And that's okay.

That happens.

You know, you'll take the wins when you get to.

I had a lovely week off the week before.

And then I had a lovely week on while I was away the week after, you know.

And that is just the reality of growing a business.

I don't know.

I'm just exploring other territories right now and having some interesting meetings and yeah, just getting inspired by kind of how I see brands show up around the world and ultimately just driven by the sense of like, I know Sculpted would do so well here.

It's going to delight so many people's makeup bags.

the risks of growing do get larger.

You know, you have to be mindful of also like outside of financial, like not distracting the team too much.

Like we have such a critical mission this year between Ireland and the UK and like the level of growth still to come from there.
