And what drives you? Why do you keep having to conquer something else, move, conquer? And I've been thinking about that for a week now, and I had this conversation last night. And I don't know, Vince, I don't know if it comes from When I was young and grandmother was an entrepreneur. She owned nursing homes, seniors residences.

And I don't know, Vince, I don't know if it comes from When I was young and grandmother was an entrepreneur. She owned nursing homes, seniors residences.

And she started and she told me the stories where she had $11 and arrived in Nova Scotia and started off with a little corner shop. And then she saved the money and then she kept buying buildings and creating nursing homes. And I always thought that was amazing. But I think... I don't know what, I feel like I have to prove something that I can do it.

And I think it might be because I did not, when I went back to university, when all of my other friends graduated, moved away, we called it the brain drain, okay? In the late 80s and early 90s, people were leaving Nova Scotia and they were emigrating to other parts of Canada and around the world. And our population was declining here. And I think I didn't have my degree,

And in a dinner conversation, when you meet somebody, they go, oh, Holly, what do you do? That always caused me anxiety. Oh, I'm a homemaker. I left university. I have my certificate. What do you do? Oh, I have my MBA. I'm living in Paris or Hong Kong or Florida, and this is what I'm doing. And so I felt everybody was moving ahead of me. I always had this feeling like I had to run to catch up.

And I think might still be with me. I feel like there's so many things that I want to do. There's so many different sectors that are so incredibly interesting to me. And maybe it's because I'm attention deficit. That could be a two. Who knows? But I just know there's so many interesting things to do and I want to try everything. And I don't want to be 85. and look back and say, I wish I did that.

And the other thing that I think has just been recently, my family has told me this, my mother died a couple of days before my 30th birthday, which also happens to be Christmas. And she was my age when she died. I think through the last 10 years, especially, I feel like that date of that she was like 57, I think that that it was almost subconsciously, what if I only have till 57?

What do I want to do? And I think it's been driving me. And now I'm here. Who knows? Maybe I will realize that I don't have to continue to race.

Yes, and success is a fleeting kind of moment, right? It's all the other things that people look at, and that was a relatively small company, but people look at very successful business owners and they don't realize that the turmoil and the pain and the sacrifice that they went through, they just see the success and they go, oh, look how easy that was.

But a while back I said, I read this study in the journal and I took that study home And I showed it to my husband. And I said, listen to this. Oh my gosh. And he said, I said, over 50% of kids are obese or overweight. And he said, yeah, Matthew, our son. And I said, part what? And he goes, Matthew, he's... And I could tell by the look on his face, he realized he had said something really rough.

And he said, like, Matthew. And I said, Matthew's not overweight. Matthew's 13 years old. He still has baby fat. He hasn't gone through his growth spurt. He's not fat. And then I was very angry at him and I called my best friend and I was talking to her and she said, what's up? And I said, do you think Matthew's fat?
