yeah brilliant

um yeah so my story really started in junior school when I asked my teacher if I could become a member of the gardening team and she said no it's only for girls I know you wouldn't be able to do that now would you so so that was my first knock back second knock back was when I was doing my a levels and I said I want to go to university I want to be a gardener and she said that's not a career um you're too intelligent to be a gardener those were her words And you should go and do something different, like become a teacher.

So I got kind of like dissuaded from going into the industry at that point.

And then eventually, when I was a recruitment consultant at the age of 21, when I did leave UDate, I just used to spend all my time looking out of the window of this recruitment agency at the gardens.

And there was my boss at the time said, Lee, you know, I'm not sure like kind of like the, that this industry is for you.

And I was like, thank God you said it.

And so, uh, yeah, we had this lovely conversation and they, they have turned out actually to be really, really, really good friends, really like business mentors and a couple that I really aspire to be, you know, kind of like, you know, in life.

Yeah, that's so cool.
