[00:48:37] S1: Yeah. Two good questions. So number one is make the most of your time on campus and in school and invest in relationships. Like, when I look back on it, like, yes, I did learn a lot during school, probably more than the average, you know, classmate I had. But what has been exponentially more powerful for me are the relationships I made. Right? And that's, like, both direct and indirect. So, like, don't under index or undervalue the importance and ROI on that. And number two, given this era that we're in, and now I'm speaking with, like, the hiring hat on, like, we've hired a dozen plus people, right, in the last six months alone, there's a very real and palpable divide in the employment pool in this country of folks who are AI pilled versus not. And when thinking about joining an early stage business, which inevitably has to be AI pilled in 2026 to succeed or starting your own thing, I think there's nothing more valuable than than having a strong point of view and experience with it. So spend the next, you know, ten months if you're a second year or year and ten months if you're a first year, really playing with it and building your own things. And you don't have to build a company while you're in school, but, like, build an agent to, like, you know, buy your tickets to the hard to get party that sells out in thirty seconds. Right? When the... If that's still a thing at Penn and if that's, you know, allowed. But doing those things and having those reps is both, number one, helpful to have a POV on, like, how these tools work and what they are. And number two, it's a very, very legitimate and real thing that any smart company or CEO is screening for when trying to hire, like, incredible talent at an early stage company.

[00:50:23] S0: Yeah. Yeah. Great pieces of advice. I I wish we had longer than an hour to keep keep chatting about your background and Kin and all of the great advice that you have, but, unfortunately, I think we have to to wrap up. So really appreciate your time. It was great to have you back on The Pulse, and, hopefully, we'll we'll have you back on at some point soon. [00:50:43] S1: Thanks, Chase.
