00:00I started taking meetings around 2016-17.
00:03I got a lot of no's because people didn't think shapewear was a viable category.
00:07Can you believe it?
00:09And then finally Fabletics said yes.
00:12And not only yes, they gave me the opportunity to build my own company and be a CEO of my
00:17own company.
00:20Yeah.
00:22And shortly after that, Skims launched and it was so validating actually to see that
00:28because I was like, I told you, I told you shapewear would be viable.
00:32You didn't see it as a negative thing.
00:33You weren't seeing it as...
00:34No.
00:35Do you and Kim Kardashian exchange notes?
00:36Oh my God.
00:37That's hilarious.
00:38There's room...
00:39No, but there's truly...
00:40I mean, you might.
00:41No, it's funny.
00:50There's truly room for all of us and what this means now is that young girls don't have
00:54to grow up the way that I did with no options.
