00:00What the pandemic has taught us is that as a business, we need to be able to be adaptable

00:18and to be able to evolve. And at the moment, that's what we're doing in terms of our business

00:23needs and our clients' needs. Our clients' needs have changed from wanting a charcoal

00:28grey suit to something a little bit more comfortable, whether it's chinos, sports jackets,

00:34softer tailoring. And that's what we're doing right now. That's how we're adapting and we're

00:39catering to our clients' needs. If our client needs us to call to his home because he's

00:43not comfortable to be in a mall, we can do that. So I think it's about being able to

00:47adapt and to be able to evolve quickly. The pandemic was when we actually started and

00:53established the Marigold Story. And to be very honest, we don't really see the pandemic

00:58coming to an end in the near future, at least. And we would like to continue staying agile

01:03and building our happy customer base. In the near future, we would like to concentrate

01:08on private label formation and put all our strengths and our design skills in collaboration

01:15with other artists and artisans and continue giving you great products. We are happy to

01:20still be here. We're happy to be open. A lot of my friends in other countries are still

01:24struggling with closed gyms. From here, I think it's on the up. For me as a fitness

01:30coach, my responsibility and my job moving forward is to make sure people understand

01:37how important a healthy lifestyle is, to make sure the bodies and the minds stay strong,

01:43to keep people moving and keep them focused and engaged on trying to be a little better

01:51with their lifestyles every day.
