[00:25:59] S0: Yeah. I've I've read so many, like, good books over the years, like, how to, like, pinpoint exactly which one has, like, shaped my thinking the most. I think a more recent book that I've read that is, like, definitely, like... Maybe, like, think a lot about, like, my own, like, life and, like, how I have developed in my career as a a book called, Daily Rituals, How Artists Work by Mason Currey. And so he, like, I think was, like, writing a column in, like, a newspaper. And then I started, like, writing about, like, the daily routines of, like, people. And so he kind of took that to the extreme and and looked at, like, what would be some of the, like, you know, the foremost, like, artists and thinkers in history. So there's, like, I think, maybe, like, a 150, like, different people, like, in the book. So definitely encourage, like, people really get, but it really showed the likes of, like, Mark Twain, Isaac Newton, Ayn Rand. And it's super interesting reading about, like, the daily rituals of, like, of these people because you realize that the insight or the art or the the breakthrough, whatever it might be, right, or, the new, like, new, like, law of physics or whatever that they they discovered were created not from a single insight, but really, like, from many years of grinding away and iterating on things before, like, they found that insight or before things actually started working. And there is just a lot of analogy. Right? So, like, building a company, it's also, like, people always think that these things are, like, overnight successes, but the reality is, like, these things are, like, many, many years in the making. I think it, like, kind of, like, correlates nicely with this quote from Aristotle, which is we are what we repeatedly do. Excellent then is not an act, but a habit. And I think that is, like, definitely true for, like, most things. Right? So doing the same thing over and over again every day, and that's, like, how you create the create the breakthroughs. I think that's how that the AI breakthroughs were were created. That was how, like, every single breakthrough in the past were... Was created. I think that's just something that is, I think, very pertinent to, like, company building and research and, like, the new discoveries in in artificial intelligence and and beyond.
