But it's like getting bigger.

I can't be in every department, even though I want to be.

The first year when we started bringing on talent and building our executive suite, it was really hard for me to let go and to trust myself.

I was never the CEO of my company.

My business partner, although he was running the company and we got to a stage where the business was

growing out like such like a fast pace.

We needed someone with experience within the industry.

Yeah, beauty CEO that like understood the relationship with Sephora.

Like that, like we are exclusive with Sephora.

I am still exclusive with Sephora.

And I'm proud to say that they have been nothing but amazing to us.

They have really helped us grow and they have been like the best partners.

And there will be a time where we will spread our wings.

But right now, like I'm so happy.

I think there are so many beauty brands that are launching right now and everyone is like following this like same path.

I'm building something slow, but I'm also building something for like longevity.

There's still like so much time.

And for me personally,

I want to be able to make sure every single market that I am in now that we show up with excellence and I'm able to cater to that before I expand.

Because going into these different markets, you need people on the ground.
