[01:22:51] S0: time to decide whether, you know, have it percolate. [01:22:53] S1: Yeah. Have it percolate. Interesting. Slow form thinking is important. [01:22:56] S0: Yeah. How often are your decisions kind of because you let that percolate, the creativity did spark and you were able to make a slightly different decision that was a better one? [01:23:04] S1: Often. We're like, yeah, those two things, but also this other one. Like, that's often the form it takes on. Yep. And also creativity, I kind of think is... I've said this before, but, like, I've never found it possible to sit down with a sheet of paper and be like, now I'm going to be creative. You know? Like, this is not how it works. [01:23:26] S0: You're just out for a walk or something and you... Something pops into your head and you're like, I need to write this down or

[01:23:26] S0: You're just out for a walk or something and you... Something pops into your head and you're like, I need to write this down or [01:23:31] S1: Yeah. I need to, like, action this right now before I forget about it. But more generally speaking, my my view is that the universe gives you creative ideas kind of at its own pace. The universe has its own clock where like it will give you a creative idea when it so deems that you deserve said creative idea. And so you kind of like, you need to be open to receiving them when they are but you can't really force them. There's some ways you kind of can force them. You can like load your brain up with a bunch of context and like let it noodle it for a while. I find that actually, and I do less of it these days, but I should probably do more of it. But I used to really love the idea of, like, being in a bunch of intensive meetings and, like, loading my brain up with a bunch of thoughts and being like, I'll see you guys in an hour. I'm gonna go for a jog. And running is, like, actually a massive accelerant on creativity. Interesting. Because it just... When you hit that flow state of running... Like, running requires you to be in that flow state. [01:24:34] S0: Yeah. It forces you to basically tune out everything else and just focus on putting one foot in front of the

[01:24:34] S0: Yeah. It forces you to basically tune out everything else and just focus on putting one foot in front of the [01:24:40] S1: other. And the ideas that are in your head in my sort of simplistic way of thinking about it, they almost, like, line up in a line, and you can pick them. You put them back. Where if you're, like, you know, drinking a bunch of coffee and, like, you know, getting the nerd sweats or whatever, like, those ideas are all mushed together. [01:25:00] S0: Let's end it on what's the hardest thing you've ever come. [01:25:04] S1: Being overweight. I was very overweight as a kid. And when I was in tenth grade, I got teased from my weight and I took it super personally and I proceeded to like at the same time I grew my hair out. I think I weighed this is a long time ago I think I weighed like two ten [01:25:29] S0: but this was as a kid. As a kid. [01:25:32] S1: Yeah. And I got all the way down to like one forty. I think I got into the high one thirties. I lost close to a third of my body weight.
