And we have other people who are like, we have the business and we're going to scale it and someone else is going to build it.

So no background in design, no background in fashion, barely a background in like, I sold shoes for like six months once.

The rest of my retail experience came from car sales and the same from, Miriam, did you ever work at a store? No, I didn't.
