If someone told you that at the very beginning of the journey, if someone said in mid-2026 the brand would be where it is now, how would you feel honestly?

Would you be blown away by how far it is or would you be like, well, good, that's what I would hope and expect because of the work I'm doing?

At the point we're recording this, you're giving away like a gold Range Rover?

Yeah.

If you could go back and talk to yourself at the start of the journey, which is only four years ago, three pieces of advice that would save you a lot of money or a lot of time or a lot of worry.

Are you failing miserably at number three?

Because one of New Zealand's greatest entrepreneurs, I think, Sir Peter Beck from Rocket Lab.

I've had him on the podcast.

I've got a quote from him.

He said, you don't achieve anything big on an eight to five Monday to Friday schedule.

To achieve something big, it has to be all-consuming.

I've been listening to other podcasts that you've been on in the past week.

There's even a story you told about being at home late at night on New Year's Eve one year, like watching fireworks out the window.

I think you may have been crying at the time because you were busy working.

Do you have many friends, or have you had to sort of put them on the back burner for this chapter of your life?

Yeah.

And your relationship with work-life balance now, is it quite healthy?

Because you got some heat a while ago for doing a LinkedIn post saying that you worked 365 days straight.

But also...

There's that saying, don't yuck someone else's yum.
