But when you're public...
Yes, you just have fewer eyes on you. If you have a bad quarter and you're private, your circle knows about it, but the whole world doesn't.
I remember.
Which is a good month for seasonality.
Because your warehouse is shut down, right?
And then COVID was like, shh.
These are, by the way, all of your more politically conservative markets, areas where they didn't shut down. People didn't do COVID.
And how was your work-life balance during this phase?
Yeah, even that.
There will be no shoes and purses transported.
Yeah, it was a bit crazy.
That's wild. So a short seller, meaning somebody who had bet in the stock market against the company's success, was now putting their hand on the scale and trying to influence whether COVID would disrupt your business. Oh, it completely disrupted, but they were trying to make it even further. Even worse.
it's so stressful and i think it's really helpful for a lot of our audience here they're early stage founders or they're young women in business and i think it's so helpful for them to hear that even when you get to the point that your business is a household name and it's big and it's public company you're still dealing oh no this was a nightmare because we could so we had to start buying product which the quality of the product was good where were you buying product from from
Totally.
What a nightmare. The whole thing was... It was tough. It was really tough. It turned out resale was better than off-price in the end.
If someone bought it once, then people will buy it again. Yeah, absolutely. Yes. You took the company through COVID through some of its toughest times. And then in 2022, you left the company.
Oh, OK. We're talking about it. Julie, tell us what happened.
So after you went public, you got a whole new set of board members.
Oh, so they held on to their stock.
So you were a public company, but you still had a lot of room to grow, and it still needed to be run like... I think shared values is actually more important than... For a board member.
