[00:53:53] S2: It's very convicted, and and I think that's something that entrepreneurs have to do is, like, you know, everyone's like, oh, what... What's that old saying? It's like, love what you do. You don't work a day in your life. Yep. We feel beyond that. We feel very convicted about our mission. You know, there's people out there like Elon that are saying, you know, we also have to make Earth multi... Or make life multi planetary and take human consciousness, which I also agree with. And so I think that you have to be very convicted about it. Right? And so, like, what what some people don't realize is, like, when we... We're doing something that's big and is bold and sometimes that's scary. And there was a time when they... Like, the auto manufacturers debated whether putting seat belts in cars because they thought it was too scary. But we all know that seat belts save lives. Right? And so so we... I I just believe... I'm very convicted on in our... On our mission and, you know, the best case scenario is everything works out and we change... We we develop renewable energies and, you know, we've got limitless energy and we've got limitless clean water and we find a way to live it with nature better and, you know, we don't need any of this technology. Cool. We at least had... Someone was working on an insurance plan.

[00:55:08] S1: Thank you for working on the insurance plan for all of us. Ben, I wanna end on one question because I truly could sit here and talk to you for four more hours. In fact, that's all I wanna do, and I'm jealous that Joe Rogan got so many hours with you. I wanna end on one thing, which is you are to your bones ambitious. And actually, comes... What's amazing getting to know you is it's effortless for you. It's very clear to me that the way you think is effortless. If you are going to just inspire people out there, entrepreneurs everywhere, to be a little bit more ambitious for the sake of our future, how would you put that in words? [00:55:45] S2: I think you just have to not, you have to be convicted about what you're doing and and and really believe you're doing something right. And and if more... And if, you know, you're getting negative feedback, you just have to not listen. Like, the best advice I ever got was not to listen to any advice. [00:56:05] S1: And to get fired for not wearing their uniform. [00:56:08] S2: Yeah. Accenture was because they didn't like me, but they... But the... But but that... But the movie the movie studio... Yeah. I mean, they had just ridiculous suspenders. And I was like, why do you need suspenders in the first place? And why... If you have them, why do they have to be so ridiculous? [00:56:25] S1: No. But all jokes aside, you're absolutely right. You've gotta be able to put on blinders and chart your own path. And you've gotta be comfortable being you're not always gonna be liked, and you're not always gonna be understood.

And you've gotta be comfortable being you're not always gonna be liked, and you're not always gonna be understood. [00:56:35] S2: I mean, I sleep great. I, you know, I sleep... I have an eight sleep bed. I sleep, you know, seven to eight hours a night, and I don't think one minute about it. [00:56:42] S1: I love that. Ben, again, thank you so much for your time today. I wish I had so much more of your time and energy. Thank you so much for what you're doing. I'm absolutely, I mean, in awe of of this swing with Colossal. It's really, really impressive, and you'll be getting a woolly mammoth drawing from me shortly. So I I I request that it gets framed and and literally put behind you. But, no, just, Ben, thank you so much for all that you're doing. I am so inspired, and, yeah, your ambition is palpable. [00:57:14] S2: Awesome. Thank you so much for having me.
