[00:43:55] S0: And finally, if you weren't in venture capital, what industry would you be in or what job would you have right now? [00:44:01] S2: So the the sort of cop out answer would be I would probably wanna be on the operating side, and there are certainly a fair number of founders that we've been fortunate to be in business with that I would, in an instance, want to work for. So I think that would be one answer, but, you know, an answer that might be more detached from technology or venture in general. When I have time, I enjoy writing a fair bit, and so something to do with writing is what I would probably consider. [00:44:42] S0: Would you have a newsletter, would you be writing books, what kind of writing would you pursue? [00:44:47] S2: That's a good question. I think I would go the newsletter route. I think there's something, you know, I'm a little bit sad that it feels like long form content is becoming less and less appreciated over time, and so maybe maybe I be... Maybe I strike the balance there, and something on the newsletter side would be more fitting for me. [00:45:10] S1: It it doesn't surprise me that you enjoy writing because I've I've been thinking actually through our conversation that you're very articulate, and and I can see you, like, being very thoughtful before your responses. [00:45:21] S2: That's that's really nice nice of you to say. I don't I don't know if I fully agree with that. I I I appreciate the comments regardless.

[00:45:28] S0: And finally, shifting into our final two questions, what is the most important advice you'd give to a FinTech founder today? [00:45:37] S2: I think knowing your customer very deeply better than anybody else is is is the most important thing I could think of. [00:45:46] S0: And finally, where can people follow your work or learn a bit more about what Iconiq Growth is doing?
