There were lots of things we did around investment and acquisitions. I had the opportunity to work with such aspirational brands as Lululemon and Underarmor. I moved down here to work as a large, $10 billion private equity fund with Ron Burkle, at Yucaipa Companies. I was in the consumer, retail space.
