I've got a son who's 19 now and I have three daughters who are 15, 13 and 11. And, you know, I looked at my kids when I sold my personal finance company and I looked at them and they were like, mom, why do you sell your business? Like, how are we going to make money?

And I'm not opposed to hiring a man to come and join us. My CFO is a man, actually. So we have one guy, and I'm not opposed to that.
