I have great ambition around Goop and really growing it. You know, now that we're kind of out of that post COVID, like four year, you know, and now let's see what happens with the economy. But I have a lot of ambition around like getting this business to scale and getting Goop Kitchen and you know, all over America. And also I think it would be great in the UK and in Paris. Yeah, it would.

I do. I do. I feel like I wasted a lot of time if I look at it through that lens. On the one hand, I do get quite philosophical and I think everything happens exactly as it should. And it's okay that the business has grown slowly and steadily. And I read once somewhere that there's a Chinese proverb that says, the slowest growing vegetable has the most nutrients.

And so sometimes if I feel like, oh, I've wasted time or it's taken too long, I kind of go back to that idea that like, we're always on the right timeline. Even if we see, you know, friends or competitors do something more quickly, it's like, it's not our timeline and our timeline is what it is. But sometimes I look back and I think like, oh my God, like, why did I do that?

why did I, you know, why did I get off Shopify in 2015? Like, why did I do, can you explain? Like, why would I do that? I don't know why you did that. I'm still on Shopify. Okay. Why would I get off?

Okay. Well, I got off of it. Someone talked me out of it. They were like, you have too much revenue to be on Shopify. Get out of town. They're the biggest company. I mean, Skims is on Shopify. Well, this was when it was like, you know, right. Exactly. Oh, I need, you know, I need to build it yourself. Right.

And it's hard when it's you as well. Like, because, you know, again, like the weirdest thing about me, I think is that I'm actually an introvert. I don't like being in front of people. I don't like being in front of a camera. I don't, I hate public speaking. So I think that's also hard for me because my first career was all about that. And my second career is about that to a certain degree as well.
