You're never going to be able to be as entrepreneurial. And the best of CEOs say, oh, I want to maintain that entrepreneurial spirit within the four walls of this company. And, you know, it's like trying to turn the Titanic away from the iceberg. You know, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It takes a minute to, you know, get things turned. But that's the key.

Thank you, Rudy. I'm really privileged to be here with you. Yeah, so I'm Chelsea Grayson. I guess I can divide my career up into three chapters really quickly for you. First, I was a lawyer. I was a partner at a big firm. Now I'm a recovering lawyer. So I'm still weaponized, but no longer super dangerous. And I transitioned from that to become the CEO of three big brands.
