And is that what you did?

And that's exactly what I did.

Yeah.

So the first thing was I wanted to negotiate that I stayed on board as CEO.

I should be going to lie down.

At the end of the day, like that gets boring.

You know, I need constant stimulation in my brain.

And then the second thing was I negotiated for our formulas to stay the same.

Yes.

And then for also our manufacturing to stay the same.

So we did not change our manufacturers as well either.

And there was no need to.

It wasn't broke.

Like we don't have to fix anything.

And then the third thing was kind of like a mutual negotiation because I said to them, okay, it's great that you want to acquire us, but what can you do to support the community that has got me here to this date?

And then they came back to us and said, I see that you guys are really passionate about your community.

You have this nonprofit, Mayo Cares.

We are going to step up and donate $10 million to support your community for

brown and black entrepreneurs.

I love that.
