and then transcended over into the training and development world. That meant I came out of the cafes. I was working at the corporate support center. And ultimately, when my boss left to go do something bigger and better, I was just sort of a natural to move into that role and wound up staying out of, I think, the 21 years.

I think I can add up to about 16 being head of the training and development wing and loved it. And then from there, it was cafes, hotels, casinos, live music venues. It was global. And I got a chance to travel to about 60 or so different properties in some 30 different countries.

So, you know, just really, again, that work ethic, like you talked about, Heather, is it really kept me grounded when I became a manager and ultimately an executive. And now I got a chance to, I guess, see the world and hang out with some rock stars. And somebody was paying me to do that and look and be and say whatever I wanted.

So it was definitely a charmed life or at least a career, a lifetime career that I loved, just absolutely loved.

Yeah, great word. Entertainment is exactly what we're about. You're right. You know, I really want to be a rock star. I want to be like a lot of my friends who could play and sing. And I'd always been in community theater. I did when I was in high school. I was in chorus, you know, so there was a choral background. And actually, my degree is very formal.

It's very opera, very church and community theater, if you will. So, you know, nobody invites me up onto the stage when all my rock and roll friends are out doing stuff. But... I will say that performance art side of me was always there. The educational side. And I knew this. When I was at college, I said, geez, for me to really make a living, I think you got to be really good at this.

You got to be a monster musician. And I just wasn't. I mean, I could get by, but I wasn't really just crushing it. So I changed careers. I went into children's education. And again, I really thought maybe I'm going to be a music teacher. To your point, I think somewhere along the line, I get a chance to use both of those. But my real love... was my first job.
