They're like, just leave the foundation part out.

They patted me like,

Oh, it's charity work.

And they said that it's just the worst idea.

But I had this like vision and I don't know exactly how I got to this point, but I knew that I had this feeling that purpose and business went hand in hand.

And if you could, doing good is good for business.

And that was sort of my theory.

I have to say, I didn't have, I didn't go to business school.

I didn't go to design school.

So for me to consider myself a designer, just because I started a company, it was a stretch in my own imagination.

I didn't feel like it.

I didn't feel it internally.

So it was kind of, you mentioned in one of your notes, imposter syndrome.

I don't know that I had that,

But I didn't feel that I had earned it.

And I felt like I had to get the knowledge.

And throughout the years, I would say probably 10 years until I felt I had the technical skill set where I really felt like I was a competent designer.

Yeah, I mean, it was rough.

I had this idea.
