And she wanted a global brand.

I said, and when I said, I said, you're not going to base yourself in the UK for a little bit or America.

And that's probably what I look for is, are you willing to the next three to seven years of your professional journey to put in that work?

Yeah, I think personal bias is a difficult one.

I think that definitely the founder vision is important, but is it representing the customer base?

So I think over time, founders become a bit more obsessed in terms of their thoughts and what they think.

I think it's really important when you're growing a company, you're really curious, not just internally with your team, but also your customer base.

And your customer base may shift a little bit.

So you're willing to shift with that.

And that could be on content generation, product innovation, the way your brand's positioned online, those things that are involved.

And I think if you don't have that,

agility or that mindset that you want to change and improve your business day in, day out, it can be a bit of an issue.

Yeah.

I agree.

And I think there's been some incredible exits over the last seven years, in particular the States.

And I've seen both founder-led businesses have done very well, but also more brand-led.

I think founders play a really important part.

The way I look at it, though, it's going to be quite mindful of a founder exit.

Is the founder too much of the brand or is the brand representing the customer base and can that scale beyond the founder?
