[00:36:38] S2: And everybody, you can check out mine and Julia's by the time this podcast is up. So check it out and become a follower. I wanna know a business book that you really, like, changed your life. Thomas, you go first. [00:36:54] S3: Innovator's dilemma is my favorite of all time, and it's it's applied so many times to our business because I... You don't wanna get too good at what you're doing because then you leave yourself open for being disrupted. So I'm always ready to just, like, burn it down and and build it back up because you need to be able to just not get, like, I guess, rest on your laurels. [00:37:20] S2: I love that. Julia, I wanna know your favorite routine. Like, just give me... What's your morning routine look like? I've now traveled with you to many different... Two different countries, and I just... Give me a sense. What's your favorite routine?

[00:37:20] S2: I love that. Julia, I wanna know your favorite routine. Like, just give me... What's your morning routine look like? I've now traveled with you to many different... Two different countries, and I just... Give me a sense. What's your favorite routine? [00:37:35] S0: I am a morning person. So I love being up when it's dark, when it's quiet. Ideally, nobody's up. Our kids have figured out... Have figured out our our morning routine, so it's disrupted a little bit. But I like to wake up at five. I like to exercise and move my body. That gives me energy. It makes me feel good. And then I like getting on top of all my kids stuff before before... Ideally before they're up. And that just helps to sort of set my day. I go over my agenda, my calendar, everything I have to do for that day, like all before the sun is up. And that way, by the time our team and we're all online by 9AM, I feel like I'm ready to start my day, and I know sort of what my plan and agenda is for the day. But then I... I'm asleep I'm asleep by 09:30PM because it's been it's been a long day by them. But for me, like owning the morning has changed my life and just made me a much more productive person.

[00:38:43] S2: I love it. Last two questions for you each. Thomas, is there a motto you swear by? Like, something that kinda runs through your head. And I'm gonna ask Julia the same question. I'll give you mine as a quick inspiration. Mine is get up, dress up, show up. I like to get up early. I... To tackle the morning. I like to dress up because I feel like getting dressed is just... It makes you feel better. And I like to show up with a positive attitude. Get up, dress up, show up. That's mine.

And I feel like it's just a mindset of like choosing to see choosing to see the good, choosing to like let your brain make positive decisions because... And I'm... I've like just started getting into a lot of not like mind work, but I think I've always been manifesting. I'm just such a dreamer of... I I just have so many unreal unrealistic expectations. But a lot of them have come to fruition because I just refuse for them not to. And I think that there is so much science behind that, which I find really interesting. But I feel like that quote sort of lends itself to that thinking. [00:39:59] S2: I love it. Thomas, your... What's just the motto in your head? [00:40:01] S3: I want you to say do things that people aren't doing. [00:40:04] S2: And I liked it. [00:40:05] S3: So it's like stand out. I'm on... From the crowd. Wake up at 5AM and work out. Be consistent.

I think about it like [00:40:49] S0: That's not a that's not a boutique hotel. [00:40:51] S3: Is boutique y. [00:40:52] S2: Like boutique y. Is it? Okay.
