Quote

I worked for Xerox for 4 years and after that I knew I was never going to be a corporate person. It wasn't my environment.

It's taken me a long time to get back into the industry. People were not really open to me working, or being a part of the industry.

I realized that, after tasting entrepreneurship, I had become unfit for the corporate world. There was no turning back. The only regret I had was having wasted my life in the corporate world for so long.

I felt devalued and disrespected. The energy behind it felt disingenuous and motivated by corporate profit.

I spent a lot of time feeling alienated and rejected.

After my health suffered due to the stress of running my second company, I had to switch careers. But I still didn't want to go back to the corporate world. So I became an academic.

I thus decided to leave the university forever and tried to find an industrial job in the United States.

I always wanted to have my own company. It was a psychological issue.

I feel incredibly fortunate I walked away, took care of other business, and then came back to show business.
