Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

I'm being honest and it's the truth.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

And so I'm not concerned about that.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

No.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

And that was a classic like dude response of, Oh, just buy it back for a dollar and like do it all again.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

And I was like, I don't want their mess.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

Like I did it.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

I created the most beautiful baby.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

She was perfect.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

And I don't need to fix her.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

It's not my problem.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

Like I can't, I don't want someone else's mess.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

in the contract that you would warn entrepreneurs about you know you obviously had like i'm assuming a non-compete non-disparagement all that stuff that's no longer in place yes it was a five-year non-compete non-disparaging the only thing i actually fought about or pushed back on was the five-year non-compete because they crossed it into personal care

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

And I just thought that was like egregious, not that I wanted to go make personal care, but it just seemed incredibly egregious to add that with laundry.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

But at the time, I was like, the last thing I want to do is ever make a product again.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

So see you later.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin

And then I didn't even really register on the non-disparaging detail until after the recall.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

And I had to panic and pull out all the contracts and make sure where I stood and what was going on and revisit all of that.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

And that's when I really understood the non-disparaging agreement because I never...

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

but like mentally had that in my mind also to exercise what I deal wise, whatever, fine.

Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin
A Multimillion Dollar Deal, a Product Recall and a New Chapter: Gwen Whiting on the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Acquisitions

What I do wish that I understood and had in place.
