How do we make sure that, you know we disrupted the incumbents? We disrupted the semantics, the McAfee's, you know, all those other players are like all gone for the most part or changed or bought or whatever, and you never want to be in a position where somebody you know disrupts you. So we're always like, how do we disrupt ourselves? How do we do things differently? How do we think differently? But the end of the day, know, my main focus and I tell this to our team all the time. If we take care of the customer, the rest takes care of itself. What the customer wants is they want to be protected. They want to have trust in their in their vendor and their partner, and at the end of the day, want to make it super economical like no one wants to spend unnecessary money, so give them the best outcome at the best cost and an experience that doesn't take, you know, seven consoles and six chairs to run around in and just make it easy. That's the number one thing you know that our customers always tell me is like it is so easy to deploy your stuff. Just we're at a meeting this morning. It was like you know what we're There's two companies merging together. They're going to go with us. The other company didn't have us, and it was like, Your stuff just is so easy to deploy, and I think that's a big one is time to value.

[00:43:16] S2: So a lot of people right now are talking about job losses due to AI, although that really hasn't happened. I think the opposite has happened in terms of net job creation so far, And similarly, there's a lot of questions, What should my kids study? And What will happen in the future for jobs? The like. What is your view on that, or where would you recommend people go going forward? You know, is this even a long term issue?

[00:43:35] S0: Well, just in general from an AI perspective, and if you look the technology changes that have taken place over the last couple hundred years, like each major shift has created more opportunity and more jobs. They're different, but there were more of them. And I firmly believe that's going to be the case here. And, you know, when you look at whether it's programming, you're still going to need people to manage the agents. You're still going to need people to think about these architectures. It's not just fire and forget. I know a lot of people would like to say that, but there is human creativity that you're going to need. I think specific to cybersecurity, this is one of the areas that I always talk to young folks about, people in university, is it's a great field to be in. If you understand AI, if you understand security, it's an ever changing field and it's actually not a solvable problem. I think every vendor would like to say they solve the problem. It's not solvable and you've got to mitigate the risk. You've got to come up with the best solutions. You've got to be able to protect the customers, and you know there's a lot of things that go into it, but it's always evolving. There's going to be technology in five years that we haven't even thought about today, and if you're in university, you're to be some of the people that are going to be thinking about how you protect it. So I always try to give back and think about what college kids are doing. I get asked all the time from parents, What should my kids study? I think cybersecurity and technology and AI is a fantastic field.
