[00:41:33] S0: You know, there's a book of philosophy called Sophie's World that I reread often. I probably read it like eight or nine times. And I first read it like, honestly, it was kind of insane. I think I read it in like the sixth or seventh grade. And it's it's literally just a survey of philosophy from like the first human record. And I I love stepping back and, you know, there's just so much about life we don't know. Like, the most essential questions of life we we don't have answers to. And it's so fun having kids because they ask you why you're... We're here and you don't know. Right? And we get to spend our lives finding out. And and that is exciting to me that like, you know, in in thirty years from now, I do hope we'll have more time. Like, wouldn't... Alexa, wouldn't you love to go on, like, a one week camp with me, and let's go figure out why we're fucking here? I think I... Mean, coach. You know, we might be able to spend more of our lives doing those kinds of things. I'm also very excited about having more time to become experts at things, right? So much of what's great about AI is you have this teacher in your pocket. You have a professor in your pocket. You have the world's greatest experts in your pocket. But we do need time to take advantage of that. So, you know, I spent my childhood reading, no surprise. And I'd love to do more of my adulthood, and spend more of my adulthood reading too.

[00:43:04] S1: Amen. AI bubble, yes or no? Quick Good to... I I was like, I had a feeling. What is a mantra or a phrase that kind of runs in your brain regularly? Kind of a mantra you you live by? [00:43:23] S0: Forward. I I... You know, in... On the on the tough days, like, you know, literally, I don't know why. It's just like I get a ref... Like, it's... I... It's... My brain beats to that drum. Forward. Forward. Forward. Right? [00:43:37] S1: It's funny. I used to sign every email onwards and upwards. And it... To your to your point of you just... Sometimes you win because you just keep going. How do you manage stress? What is a trick to manage a lot of stress? Because you definitely have a lot of stress. What's what's... How do you manage it? That that... That's a good... And then what is one thing right now, outside of Writer, that you are paying attention to with technology? Something you're excited about, you're curious about, something that is really peaking your attention? [00:44:12] S0: Yeah, I'm I'm really excited about it. One of my earliest fun interactions with Waseem as we were trying to figure out how to work together. There's still a picture of us with this. I'm, like, hooked up to his, like, raspberry pie, and he's, like, reading my brain waves, right, through programs that that he wrote. So it's something that we're both very excited and interested in. And, you know, I I feel like I'm not done, Alexa, as an entrepreneur until I can, like, you know, review my emails in the shower and send them, you know?
