[01:28:44] S0: Yeah. Puzzles. How fun. Okay. Two more questions. Do you have a favorite life motto that you find useful in work or in life? [01:28:52] S1: This feels hard because it is hard, not because I'm doing something wrong. I just think this is so true in parenting at work. It's so interesting how often something is hard and we tell ourselves the story that we're stupid or we're not good at it. And there's something so simple about reminding myself, no, this feels hard because it is hard. I'm feeling this moment right. It's just hard. And I find that I always feel my feet on the ground again when I tell myself that. [01:29:15] S0: Great segue to our final question. So you're building a product, building a company. As a non-product person, what's something that surprised you about the experience of building a product and building a company?

[01:29:15] S0: Great segue to our final question. So you're building a product, building a company. As a non-product person, what's something that surprised you about the experience of building a product and building a company? [01:29:28] S1: It's funny. I'm hesitating only because I'm thinking of something and I'll say it, but I'm like, why did that surprise me? It should be so obvious. But I guess it's true that a company is just people. And before I started this company, I was in private practice, seeing people for therapy. And I feel like those skills are remarkably useful as the leader of a company where there's so many things I can't do. You're not going to ask me to financially model or data analytics, but I feel like there's really strong people who can do that. But I believe that understanding people or just having the skill of attempting to understand people is a surprisingly, but I guess also retrospectively obvious, really good leadership skill. [01:30:12] S0: Dr. Becky, this was incredible. It's such an honor to have you on. I just see you everywhere all the time, have learned so much from you. And what a treat to have you in this podcast. I have people are like, "What the hell is going on here?" I learned a ton myself and I know people will too. Two final questions. Where can folks find you, Good Inside, your book, anything else you want to share? And then just how can listeners be useful to you?

You can find our product there. You can find all the books that I've written there. You can find our yeah, newsletter if you're just curious to start there. All of it's at goodinside.com. I really do love feedback. So if you're there, if you're thinking, "Hey, I'm in your app and I wish you did this." I mean, your listeners are such a treasure trove of brilliant product, marketing, just thoughts that I can never have myself. And we're really trying to build something that makes a parent always exhale and feel a little more capable and parents have the best information of how to do that. So being willing to share feedback and ideas. Anyone can reach out to me on DM or you could email office@goodinside.com, but that's a way to help. I love learning from other people. [01:31:26] S0: Awesome. Dr. Becky, thank you so much for being here. [01:31:29] S1: Thank you.
