Not to say anything bad about my career in television news because I loved it. I just got to the point where I wanted to manage my own life. You know, at some point you realize that you're sacrificing so much working for someone else who doesn't have your same priorities. When I started my business, I thought, oh, I can just do this. And I did. I made great films and stuff, and that was, that was good. But I realized that I needed to network and I needed to sell the business. I couldn't just work in the business. And he said, Kim, do you really want to be successful? Do you really want to make this work? I'm like, of course I do. And he said, well, then you've got to quit hiding your brand. My brand at that point was Kim Brattain, but I didn't even use my name in the of the company at that point, and he said, you're gonna have to build your brand. You're gonna have to do some marketing. You're gonna have to do some networking. You have to get back out there and have some conversations with people. Actually, I've loved getting back out there, and it's, and it's helped my business tremendously. I'm surrounded by good people. I am only successful because my people are great, and that, that will make me cry. That will, that will, that'll tear me up because I'm so lucky. It is such a privilege to get to hang out with businesswomen. You know, who— strong women who are talented and smart and fearless. Because you absorb all that and you get that from them.
