When Sunglass had sold their division I decided to just take a package and not move back into, into fashion. I didn't want to move back to the Midwest. I was living in Columbus, Ohio. I knew it was an amazing time but it was never going to be the city that I would fall in love with passionately. And so I started just I went to real estate school for fun never thinking I would ever, ever practice real estate. And then I started interviewing for fairly large GM jobs across the country in very rural areas because that's where some of the larger companies were and I it, I just didn't want to do it anymore. I needed a change and because of my involvement in the community I feel very blessed because I've always been involved in the community. I was able to then reach out to those people on boards that I have been raising money for and doing things for and say I have a new career and they gave me an opportunity.
