[01:14:13] S1: What you get is, first of all, you get to just tell us what's going on with you, and we get to be the holder of that story and make sure we hit on the important themes. I really do believe, I know kind of, not formula that makes it too specific and perfect, but we need to learn how to set boundaries. We need to learn how to stay connected to our kid without martyring ourselves. By the way, I also think the thing that you get in the app, which we have to learn better communication if we're in a partnership because that gets tricky. We have to learn how to repair. We have to understand why we get so activated in our nervous system, and we have to do it in a way that we could do, I don't know, five minutes here or there in the go. So that's exactly what we're set up to do. If you can give us five minutes, we will give you something that's not just a tip, that is something... I always combine two things, understanding and action, right? Insight and something that you can actually do today, because I think that's how we can take a deep breath, understanding gives us clarity, and action gives us capability, and that's what we give parents. So you get that, we'll drip it to you, you tell us what's going on. We also have an incredible AI chatbot experience that also beyond helping you in the moment can help you say like, "Hey, this kind of thing that seems different, they're all kind of the same. Here's the common theme. Here's what we suggest for you to kind of get ahead of things." And then there are so many live events. I believe deeply that parenting is something where we have to connect to people. So I do, I don't know, usually two or three live events in a month. We have coaches we've trained, so we've manualized the Good Inside approach. We have coaches who do support sessions. If you have a deeply feeling kid, you can come to as many of those in a month as you want. And there's always a parent to kind of connect. And so I would say you get answers to your questions, you get deeper dives if that's for you and you have the time and you love to learn. And then you also have a very, very active, expert driven, but also just parent community for the live connected help that I think we all need.

[01:16:08] S0: Amazing. I'm a happy member. I was actually just chatting with your AI chatbot at Dr. Gigi is- [01:16:13] S1: Yes. Gigi, exactly. [01:16:15] S0: Gigi. So good. [01:16:15] S1: Yes. [01:16:17] S0: Okay. And where do people find this? Goodinside.com? [01:16:17] S1: Yes. [01:16:17] S0: Is that right? [01:16:17] S1: So easy. [01:16:19] S0: Okay. So easy. [01:16:20] S1: We try to make it easy. Goodinside.com. [01:16:23] S0: Okay. I have another question, I'm going to ask about this experience, but before that, I'm going to take you to a couple of recurring corners on this podcast. The first is AI corner. I'm curious if there's some way you found AI useful in your work and your life.
01:16:36 · Becky Kennedy
[01:16:36] S1: So yes. So it actually connects to what I was saying before, how I've learned about myself. I'm kind of allergic to ideas without action. And people would always say to me, "Dr. Becky, one of the reasons I love your parenting guidance is you both help me understand a situation more deeply than I find elsewhere, but you also help me translate it into this absurdly practical thing I can say or do." And it's interesting because what I've learned is I'm so glad that's helpful for people. That actually is just the way I think. And I'm seeing that as I run my company also. And AI helps me close that gap. So let's say we're talking about the product and we're talking about a new onboarding flow and I have an idea. I currently was playing around with Figma Make and I was like, oh my goodness, I can vomit my ideas. And I have so many ideas, not just about like, this is how I want to make someone feel. And I don't want it to sound like this. I want it to sound like this. I have so many ideas around my intention and the impact and I don't like to have an idea that I can't fully see out. So I want to see the UX design or I want to see the whole email flow. And my team knows me well enough to know that's just how I think so they can get a totally new abandoned cart flow from me and they might be like, "Becky, we don't like this. We wish you just told us the idea before you built this out." I don't do that for them. And I'm like, "If you want to trash the whole thing, I don't care. I'm not attached to it." But AI has allowed me to take an idea and turn it into something I can visualize and that's more real in such a rapid way. And I'm so excited about that.

[01:18:10] S0: That is super cool. It feels like this is what these apps are so useful for. People that are not designers, product managers, engineers, trying stuff out, prototyping, thinking through and real designs, not just sketches. Well, Figma Make, that's cool. Proud podcast sponsor. Is that the one- [01:18:11] S1: Yes. [01:18:27] S0: You find most useful?
01:18:27 · Lenny Rachitsky, Becky Kennedy
[01:18:27] S0: You find most useful? [01:18:29] S1: It's funny. I'm just laughing because Andrew Hogan who does insights at Figma, he's been a big Good Inside member. He's always talking about it. And I said to him, "If it would help at all, I want to make a video for just your team to tell them how obsessed I am with Figma Make in case that..." And he's like, "Go ahead." So if this fails, I'm going to become an affiliate or something for that. But that is the one I'm playing around with. I'm also playing around Replit. My team is just showing me that one and Lovable. So I love playing around with any of those new tools. And then yeah, whether it's Claude or ChatGPT, I find the way I can work rapidly to get my ideas into a place. And I show my team how I use it. And I really do think that people who get the most out of prompting, like there is, like a vomiting aspect. Tell me all your thoughts. And I think a lot of people, especially women, we've been conditioned to put everything into this neat, organized package before we present it to the world in general. And I find prompting is best when we do complete opposite, right, and get it all out there and then you can refine. And that's one of the things I do with my team a lot. I'm like, I want to show you. Just be in the room and I'll show you how I work through this with, let's say it's a ChatGPT. And I think that's one of the ways I'm also helping my team get a lot more from AI, is showing them that kind of way of using it.

What's like the Dr. Becky operation? What does that look like? [01:19:56] S1: 65.
