Yeah.

What did I learn?

Oh, I didn't sort of pivot.

And this is really interesting.

I loved acting.

Acting was all that I wanted to do.

In fact, you guys can see a movie I just played the bad girl in called Black Creek.

It's on Amazon.

Amazon Prime and Apple TV right now because I'm not giving up the dream.

But it's all I wanted to do.

And two things happened.

One, the story goes that I went to an audition, a sell me the pen moment.

And I got a very lucrative, interesting job to pitch products when that was not even a job description.

And Body by Jake had created this network for cable television.

And I went on to sell 1,500 different products.

We sold that network for $500 million in 1993.

That really worked.

And I hadn't given up my acting career at the time.

I was still balancing everything.

And I was convinced in my naivete that you really could ride two horses in different directions and be just fine.
