Sure. I think the first thing is I started my career. I'm going to go way back. So I started my career in brand management at Clorox and I was the second undergraduate they ever hired. And I was there three years and I got promoted to Once about ready to get promoted again. And when I looked above me, I didn't want to be those people.

It wasn't even that. I don't think I was that savvy. I was young. I think it was more about every woman in the brand organization tended to go into HR when they left brand. So none of them were general managers. They just looked like old... grumpy men to me. Think of it, though. I'm like 25 years old, not even 25, because I started early. Remember, I'm the second undergraduate they ever hired.

I'm living in California. In the meantime, my former boss's wife, former boss at Clorox's wife, calls me and says, why don't you join the tech world? I'm I know this is the future because the guy in finance had smuggled in an Apple II and run VisiCalc, the predecessor to all spreadsheets, and did what I was doing by hand in seconds. I'm like, this is the world. This is where I should be.

It was exciting. It was the future. And when I looked above me, I just saw men that were most likely going to, as I got promoted, put me in HR. And I'm like, that's great for people in HR. I didn't see myself in that. I saw myself creating something. And that comes from my childhood because my dad ran his own art and design studio.

Both my parents were artists and they created products for other people. He did Flintstone vitamins, bottles and packaging, promotional materials, Chevrolet ads, Kohler annual reports, Midwest type of big brand. But we made our own product. So we had this really bad wine called the J&S Wine Line because...

And then my dad threw a tennis tournament every year and it was called the Wainwright Invitational and he printed up shirts before it was hard when you had a silk screen and it had a big brand, it had a family brand. So I just came from a place where you were creating And then when I saw that I had an opportunity to create in the future, which for me was tech, I felt I have to go there.

That's the future. And by the way, the people when I joined that company were sort of my age. So we were inexperienced. We didn't know what we didn't know. And we really wanted to be part of whatever was going to happen in the future with the personal computer. So I saw that early on.

I know that was a lot, but I would say my nature is toward taking risks and creating and not being held back by someone else's idea of my success.
