Like, retire?

Like, what does that mean?

I was so... My head was so...

like in the moment that I really wasn't thinking what life would be like after the fact.

And the second year was like,

2020 so my second year was like three like three months in the office and then i walked out of the office with everybody else in march and never came back so i had actually planned a very intentional last year of how i would wind out and step back and and pack up and like off board which never happened

So and then I'm like with everybody else in like crazy COVID times, which is hard enough for everybody, let alone in this incredible career shift, identity shift.

What am I doing?

What now?

What like what's going on?

There was so much change and shift that I was so personally intertwined with the brand.

that it was a personal identity.

It was what I did.

It was my life's work.

It was my legacy.

I knew that I needed to create space from that chapter into before the next chapter and sitting in nothingness for someone who's been like on the move was really difficult.

I mean, they had a such a different deal structure than I did.

And they did have covenants for that.

From what I understand, and I'm not an expert, but it seems as though Unilever is really breaching those terms that they had.

At the same time, Unilever is spinning off the ice cream business.
