It's amazing to be able to start again And being able to do so a second time with so many learnings and all of this experience under my belt, I'm a much more refined and savvy brand and businesswoman.
Yeah, no, 100%. I'm appreciative of the current state of the environment because it feels like it's neutralized in a sense. And I think female founders or just founders in general, we're here to make money. And all eyes and the full team and the full force of our efforts are able to say that. We're almost like 10 years ago and maybe it was just my youth.
I didn't fully understand that as the mission because the brand felt so important. And so when you run a business, when you take the responsibility on of raising capital and taking investor money, Like you are fully 100 percent accountable to seeing that through and ultimately this being a for profit business.
And not that that wasn't clear to me before, but with my experience and I think a lot of us as first time founders, female in particular. were able culturally to show up and commit to that in a way that maybe didn't feel as okay in the past.
Totally. Yes, we had stories and products and fandom that were very investable. But in a lot of ways, as young founders, we were able to raise too much money too quickly. And then the stakes got so high, like growth at all costs and like, massively compounding quarters, quarter after quarter.
And when you're selling things in a physical, like physical widgets, so leggings in our case, things can go very wrong when it's an inventory business. And so those variables compressed and then this mandate to grow at all costs in a lot of ways made the wheels come off in situations that probably didn't have to go that way. So D2C is cool.
I think many of us found ourselves in that equation where we were able to raise a the stakes got very high and then maybe didn't have the infrastructure or certainly the experience to know how to navigate that in a way that the outcome and kind of the sustainability of the business would be in the best interest of all the stakeholders.
That cut article blessed them. That was quite funny. I just remember sex and bananas is like my two favorite interests. So that was nice. Nice of them. Marked in time forever. Anyway, yeah, I think if you haven't been a founder yourself, you... could certainly have a perspective, but you don't really know. You don't really get it. Like, I don't know why people would be feeling that way.
I think, for me, OB, you know, it's deeply rooted in me. It's in my DNA. It's from how I grew up. And so obsession is what comes up for me. Like, when you're a founder, when you truly commit to taking something from zero to something, it requires an insane obsession. And so... It took a number of years for me from when I resigned at After Voices, and the resignation details are kind of funny.
I'll tell you about those. It took a number of years to understand or work through, like, why did this happen? Like, I was so focused on growing this thing and purely intentioned. How the hell did this happen? And so I still haven't fully reconciled that, but I've been able to emotionally grow past it in a way that I can be grateful for, but Ovi will always be part of my story and part of my DNA.
And it's something I wake up and am driven to do personally and then help other people tap into, which is find a way to move because it maximizes happiness. So it's an important mission and there will be for sure upcoming ways to kind of like thread that back in, Joggy being a different vehicle for that same mission. But it's something that's never going to leave me.
But yeah, I think I'm actually curious your thoughts on that question with the cut. The cut just, yeah. Yeah.
Oh, beautiful.
it's like when is this going to stop let's change the narrative finally yeah I think very much saying it myself and ourselves first is so important nowadays and you'll see that kind of over the next months as we have some big announcements upcoming but I'm someone who trusts and potentially trusts too much when the cut had come to me they like showed me this content franchise where they're all glowing and I'm like it doesn't need to be glowing but it's potentially an interesting filter
And then what came out was so clearly just another takedown.
Yeah.
Which is unfortunate, but life goes on. It got me some more followers. That's nice. Who cares? But what would I say? I don't know. That's... an unfortunate still period in time. So I've gotten a lot less comfortable or just like, it's not part of my playbook to go to journalists anymore. We are the source of truth and that becomes more and more important.
And for me personally, knowing how other people want to depict the scenario.
Yeah. I tried to navigate that very thoughtfully as well. And looking back, I feel quite proud of just like, that was a cluster, you know what I mean? There was a lot to unpack there as a young woman who had
tried her best to go after this thing and you'll see we very much have a commitment to like spinning up our own direct content and formats and hopefully are doing the same thing for other brand builders and founders that are on the TYB platform but I know firsthand how important and powerful saying something yourself and directly is and then let people pick it up from there yeah
