Now, we’ve fully flipped that on its butt, and we are attempting to determine who you are as an individual, as our shopper, and like, you are the information and you already know …. we’ll be the information rails, however you are gonna information us that can assist you. And it is such a deal with. It truly is a deal with.

And it requires asking questions that might not be snug to all people, however it’s our purpose to be useful in understanding, you already know, who advised you you’ll be able to’t put on this?
