So I know taking full responsibility sounds empowering, but it can also feel heavy too.

How do you carry accountability without carrying shame when something doesn't work out?

Well, you borrow from the boys, because here's the thing.

And those boys don't feel any shame about it at all.

Not a sausage.

Nothing.

Not a sausage.

I love that.

I love that expression.

Like it's your personal thing.

So what would your most honest employees say about you as a leader?

I think when you're starting with yourself and you don't know anything about business to begin with, you make a lot of mistakes.

What are the mistakes that you most regret from the beginning that can help someone else listening who's starting with themselves?

How long do you have?

That's right.

That's why I love this book is that you let us see underneath what's happening.

Well, you know, one of the things I say about you is that you're a person who's been able to take instinct and turn it into a global brand.

Is that a gift or is that a strategy or is it both?

Where did that Skims idea come from?
