And so I think some grace would have been welcome.

And I think I probably could have asked for more help on how to be a CEO.

Yeah.

I think anyone can be a founder from day one, but a CEO is a hard job and it has to be in some ways learned on the job.

Such an honor and just incredible to be back here five years later and get to play a small role in this amazing family.

That is how I built this.

So thank you very much.

We still continued to do trunk shows.

We had revenue goals for the month, and so if we weren't meeting our revenue goals, then we would, you know, set up a trunk show, stat.

But online, it was just a totally different story.

We could not sell our dresses.

Not only did we run out, it actually went into the negatives.

Our bank account, I think at one point, said like negative 2,000 or something, and I didn't know you could draw down beyond zero.

So that was a wake-up call.
