[01:22:36] S0: Yeah. And I've all went through this era of just sharing this profound advice on Twitter, and then you kinda slowed down, and and I love that there's a book that collects it all. And I love that. So much of advice you to, like, you see it and you're like, yeah, that's fine. And then you think back to, wow, he was so damn right. [01:22:50] S1: Have you have you read... What's it? Ego Is the Enemy? [01:22:53] S0: Is that a is that a book, or is that one of his lines? [01:22:55] S1: No. It's a it's a new book. I think I think it's called something. I was just wondering if you read it because I was interested in in in reading it. I was about to buy it. I need to go to a bookstore. There's not that many bookstores in Puerto Rico. But, yeah, I'm looking for a new book. So if anyone wants to drop some comments on the video, I'll let you know. [01:23:09] S0: Does Amazon deliver to Puerto Rico? [01:23:11] S1: Yes. But it's, like, a bit... It takes it takes a while living on the island. Everything is a lot lower... Lot slower. Less dopamine rush. And I'll get twenty four hour delivery. [01:23:21] S0: I love that. Okay. Next question. Do you have a favorite recent movie or TV show you have really enjoyed? [01:23:26] S1: I just watched the Elizabeth Holmes movie with Me too. My girlfriend. Not Yeah. I'm not gonna spoil it, but wow. That was a really good movie.

[01:23:26] S1: I just watched the Elizabeth Holmes movie with Me too. My girlfriend. Not Yeah. I'm not gonna spoil it, but wow. That was a really good movie. [01:23:35] S0: One thing that someone shared from the trailer, this is no spoiler, when when he's... You know that trailer when they're kinda staring at each other and he kinda puts his tongue in his mouth? Like, his mouth is kinda doing something funny? Yeah. He Turns out when he's trying not to laugh or just get break character, he puts his tongue against his molars and just presses against them to keep himself from laughing. How about that? [01:23:58] S1: I did not know that. Yeah. But it was a good movie. I liked it. [01:24:02] S0: Epic. Okay. Next question. Favorite slash most interesting AI product you're using right now, ideally not Wispr Flow. [01:24:10] S1: Honestly, I gotta... I commented under your your post the other day, Miso. I don't know. Did you end up downloading it or no? [01:24:16] S0: I just tried to check it out. It's like a travel tool. Right?
01:24:20 · Hector Serrano
[01:24:20] S1: Yeah. It's a travel agent, and I travel a lot. I think I have, like, 55 flights or 60 so far this year. Jeez. Like, 89,000 miles. And traveling is always something I'm, like, not looking forward to because it gets pretty tiring, like, having to book the flights and everything. And I recently came across this product when they launched on X, and I DM'd the founders on Instagram. Was like, yo. Get me off the wait list. Like, I wanna try this out. And ever since I downloaded it, it's now been, like, three months. Like, I can't stop using it and recommending it to friends. And, like, just an example, like, the other day, I slept through my alarm, and I missed my flight to SF from PR. And I texted... I woke up. I texted Miso. I was like, hey. I missed my flight. Can you get me on the next one? And I didn't have to do anything else. Like, took care of everything, booked me on the next flight in, like, two hours. I just chilled, didn't have to pay anything extra. Yeah. It's like it's like the best travel agent I've tried by far. Like, obviously, Instinct is is a good agent and everything, but I don't think for travel, it's anywhere as fast. And then what's also cool about MISO is they have humans on the back end that will escalate things. Like, if they... And if the agent gets stuck, they have, like, direct connections to every major airline and everything, and they can escalate things and take care of it for you. So it's like a lifesaver. I can just text now, hey. I want a flight, and and knows... And and no dissent to me, and I'll get it booked in, like, a few minutes.
01:25:38 · Lenny Rachitsky, Hector Serrano
[01:25:38] S0: That is extremely cool. I looked it up. It's just miso.com. Yeah. Miso.com. What an amazing domain. Yeah. Imagine no affiliation. You're just a fan. No. [01:25:46] S1: Yeah. No affiliation. [01:25:48] S0: So cool. Okay. Go miso. Okay. Two more questions. Do you have a favorite life motto that you often come back to in work or in life? [01:25:56] S1: Yes. I have a I have a life motto that I like a lot. I don't know if I'm gonna butcher this, so maybe you can help me, but it's from Steve Jobs that you can't always connect the the dots looking forward, but you can always connect them looking backwards. And, like, when I look into my own life, like, I see that basically in everything. Like, I was never the smartest kid in school. Like, my parents were always pretty frustrated with me. I had really bad ADHD. Like, soccer was the only thing I had, and then I lost it. And then I was, like, lost for for a few months even though I was at Wispr, and I didn't really understand all the things that were happening or why you even picked up a camera when I was 16 or why I started posting on YouTube or why I played sports. And, like, now looking back, like, everything is so clear. It makes so much sense, and, like, I understand the path I'm on on life. And, like, I think sometimes you just gotta keep going, and and it'll all make sense at the end. And, like, yeah, I think that's one of my favorite quotes I look back on.

[01:26:45] S0: I also find that to be very true, and Steve Jobs nailed it again. Hector, this was incredible. Thank you so much for sharing so much. You're awesome. [01:26:55] S1: Thank you.
