I mean...

I had this gall in a way and vision and I was determined.

I think even our biggest investor who told me never to say purpose in business, I called him maybe three years ago and I said, it's so funny you said that.

I still remember that expression you said to me and I just came from a conference that doing good is good for business.

And he's like, okay, what do you want?

And I said, check for the foundation naturally.

I mean, there are so many things that happen constantly of, you know, things that you were being put in your place or things that you shouldn't say it quite like that, or you should think this way.

I think it was a lot of noise to me.

That's one thing I learned from my parents is that negativity is noise.

And so I learned to tune things out and I learned to be a good listener, take it in, but not necessarily take it to heart and not take it personally.

More often than not, not take it personally.

Of course, sometimes it gets personal and I try to not be emotional, particularly in a board meeting.

I've learned that lesson.

Okay.

It's much more effective.

It's much more effective.

Yeah, but I had to learn that.

I mean, you can imagine what I went through.

I remember one of our partners told my ex-husband to leave it at the door.

Wow.
