[01:15:20] S5: Do you find this culture to be unique between your friends cultures or people you went to university with? [01:15:26] S1: I would say sadly in the sense that I wished for all my friends to have the same experience in their companies, but I feel like so far Bending Spoons has really been a one of a kind, at least in Italy. So I hope many other companies will start, you know, applying this framework and the values that Bending Spoons have. Of course, are many others that are rising and that's exciting, but for our most established companies, I feel like we're not there yet. And I wish people would start, you know, realizing that this is a model that really works and that we have so much talent in Italy, in Europe that just waits for, you know, a good opportunity to make their talents grow and shine, which that's what I really hope, but we're not there yet. [01:16:17] S5: So as we close out, I have to ask you, what are you most looking forward to in the next twelve months? [01:16:23] S1: I'm looking forward to making AOL shine and to finish this carve out process so that we can really get hands on on focusing a thousand percent on the product and making sure we can give the best experience possible to our users. [01:16:40] S5: What is the opportunity for AOL?

[01:16:40] S5: What is the opportunity for AOL? [01:16:42] S1: I think there is so much, like we have so many ideas on how to grow the company with synergies also with Bending Spoons products. There are so many, our user base on AOL is extremely engaged. So we believe we can provide a lot of value for them through many, many different channels, many different ideas. We know what they like. So it's very easy for us to present them with very relevant either products or content on both levels. There is so much opportunity. Amazing. Really look forward to that. [01:17:18] S5: Vali, thank you so much. [01:17:20] S1: Thank you so much, Molly. It was great being here. [01:17:31] S6: Email, and also go deeper on our podcast interviews.
