Yeah.

In terms of size of company, I think the size of our company right now and the shape of our company right now, it's really good.

I can be all the things that I want to do in my life I think can be made better for that.

One of my mentors is a guy named Aldo Bensadoun.

Aldo's 85 years old.

He was a Moroccan immigrant to Canada.

He built Aldo Shoes.

He's built a multi-billion dollar company.

He just gave a bunch of money to McGill to create the Bensadoun School of Retail, Faculty of Retail at McGill, which I'm involved with a really, really cool faculty.

And we're on stage and I said to Aldo,

I'm sort of like Aldo's kind of an old school guy.
