Like, how did that process come about? So it's kind of two different things, right? It's like, tell us about your corporate life, but then how did you start to think differently about where you wanted to go?

Karol FigueroaGUEST
The corporate life was, you know, without a doubt- For a long time I felt, "Why am I here? I need to..." There was a lot of I want to go feelings.

Karol FigueroaGUEST
I still remember the managers that just couldn't figure me out, and a lot of it was that I am so honest that I'm gonna tell you exactly what I'm thinking.

Karol FigueroaGUEST
And a lot of these managers were like, "What are you really trying to say?" And I'm like, "No, exactly verbatim what is coming out of my mouth is what [laughs] I'm saying.

Karol FigueroaGUEST
There's, there's no agenda and no sugarcoating to what I'm saying right now." And that can be intimidating for a lot of people that are used to playing the game or, like, having an agenda on there's no wage.
