if it was an allegation, which it was, and there was no conviction, which there wasn't, and there was a way to bring me back into the fold, which there was, I would have kept that door open versus knowing that if you pulled me and pushed me out, which they did, then it could mean the demise of the company overall.

Now, maybe that was the plan from the beginning, because it's like, okay, well, this isn't going to work.

And so I was slightly offended up front, because I'm like, well,

I built this thing, but I got it from a liability perspective.

And now coming full circle, I'm like, ooh, I would have definitely roped me in to generate revenue at some point.

But again, hindsight's 20-20.

Well, I know what I want to do.

And we've never talked about this at all.

You know, what's funny is...

You're right in a lot of ways when it comes to how this kind of unfolded.

At the same time I felt bad, sad, and disappointed by the circumstances, I realized like, dude, I was a slave to my own company.

I mean, there were employees who made more money than I made.

Everything that I did revenue generating was pouring back into the company.

And that's how it should be, right?

You're investing in something and every single penny you're going to reinvest to build the thing.

Well, building that thing came out of personal and professional cost.

You were the brand.
