And what do you think? Can you help us? And they come back and they say, you know, we don't like the word work. We think it should be women who do. And I just start laughing because I'm like, women who do.

And the fact that they couldn't conceive of it being sort of exciting and aspirational and interesting to sort of lean into working at all aspects of our lives was just fascinating to me, but showed that that was part of the problem. And I think that's why ultimately, I mean, when... The business grew to be hundreds of millions of dollars in sales.

We were distributed at all the best retailers across the country from Neiman Marcus to Saks to Bloomingdale's and beyond. And I think it really resonated with people in an amazing way. And probably not dissimilar to how I... I have this incredible experience every time somebody comes up to me and tells me that they were married in a space that I had painstakingly designed.

I have that experience now with my fashion company. The number of women who will come up tell me that they loved my shoes or they loved the handbags. And I've had women show me their engagement rings. They got engaged with us. And it's really rewarding. It's really beautiful.

My shoe partner had founded Nine West, so he really knew what went into making a shoe wearable and comfortable. And then you overlay that with great design. And we also created this... really comfortable, beautifully designed, super feminine product offering that was also affordably priced.
