Honestly, I still do think I'm in the minutiae. And I think that is the key to success sometimes. I think you have to ebb and flow from zero feet, right? Boots on the ground all the way to 60,000 feet. It's a really hard skill set to master, but I think it's key for success.

I'm chasing mail trucks. I'm sitting in hospitals. I'm selling out of hospitals. That's how we sold. I sat there and I sold right in front of a hospital, in front of an ER at seven in the morning and seven at night.

Megan, how do you know FIGS?

Megan, how do you know FIGS?

Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. I love that you know who we are. Honestly, like I think what you've created is so amazing. I was just watching your show the other day too. Oh, thank you. Because I'm a terrible cook. I can't cook anything, but I'll bring you lemonade or something like in the juice world. I could do that. Great. But you can teach me something probably.

No, I totally agree. I think, you know, when you take something that's so simple in your everyday life and you elevate it and you make it elegant, I think that's what makes it so special. I mean, that's what even like Andy Warhol did, right, in terms of like commercialization with, you know, the Campbell Soup. Yes.

He took something so simple that you see every single day, but he elevated it, right? He made it into art. And now it's like, you know, I don't know, $50 million on your wall. Yeah. But yeah, in terms of figs, that's exactly, you know, what we did over 13 years ago is we took something that was like a commodity and like decommoditized it.

Well, I think so. Since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a surgeon. Okay. And what attracted you to that? I just thought I would be really good at it because I'm so precise and I pay attention to detail. And I just thought that I would be an incredible surgeon. But when I was in school, I did poorly. I mean, obviously, organic chemistry is impossible. Anatomy... It was my favorite course.

And I just didn't do well. I got all Ds. Like, I just didn't do well. So I said, okay, you know what? I guess this is not going to be my career path. I'm just not going to be a doctor. So I gave up. And when I graduated University of Wisconsin, I started my first company. I don't even think I was that employable even at the time. Like, I just didn't think I was like an employable person.

Like, I try really hard, but I don't know. I don't know why.

I didn't have any money. I didn't come from money. So I didn't really. I mean, in the sense of I had like three jobs. I raised some capital. I was 21. And then I started my bag company. Back up.
