The whole journey like I always struggled when it came to vetting. Vetting was always the Achilles heel that I struggled with, you know what I mean? Everywhere I went I'd always try and put my best foot forward and I'd be forced into a situation where I'd have to talk about something I was trying to forget about and move on from. It was a very hard thing to turn that discussion from a place of negativity to positivity. I always felt like we needed something else that would support people and capture what's right and what's strong today rather than what was wrong all those years ago.
