[00:56:38] S1: Thank you. Yeah. Take some risks and learn from the ones that don't work. They are, picking... Trying to pick the right things to spend your time and your money on. But, I guess the point there is that they're not all gonna pay off, but, you learn something every time. Anything that you do, Rohit, when you're off duty? I mean, I imagine right in the mark of the addition release, you might not have had any spare time, but if you do if you do get something, is there anything you do for a bit of a mental reset? [00:57:07] S0: Well, you you you are are bang on money. Haven't had a lot of time recently with with with additions and agents. But my my way of... I love a good deep drama show as it... I need something that completely absorbs me out of my world. So I I love I love drama shows. Horses is my It's one [00:57:35] S1: of my favorite. [00:57:36] S0: It's like... It's it's epic. Gary Oldman is is a genius. Loved loved slow horses. And then, you know, I I I I spend a bunch of time just... I find podcasts are such a gift. I'm a huge, huge fan of Acquired. I'll try to... I'm I'm working through their back catalog a bit. I'm on on the Lockheed Martin episode. And I read Skunk Works, the book about the the Lockheed the Lockheed Martin, but now also listening to the the acquired episode on it. So, yeah, it's... I would say some drama shows and then then some podcasts that I love. I love some of the long form podcasts and and and completely getting out of my world into something completely different. So so those those are my ways to to to relax. Yeah.

[00:58:24] S1: You've answered my question about what's on your listening list as well. So I'm an acquired fan as well. It's sort of almost a sort of gold standard for me in terms of podcasting, and think this show is still work in progress but those sort of modern history stories are hugely absorbing. And I have a slow horses story as well The... My... One of my cofounders who leads our commercial team knows the actor who played... And I can't remember. I'm afraid I can't remember his real name, he... I think he played Claude, head of head of MI six in the in the in the first series. And he had slightly slimy sort of character almost sort of straight out of the office. It was a bit uncomfortable. But he had this great phrase, are we winning? And he was always saying that to the team. And as I say I say that now to my consulting team. And anyway, my colleague Charles managed to collar the actor and recorded it for me. So I've got the head around my seats saying, Tony, are we winning? [00:59:25] S0: Which I [00:59:26] S1: think is that. So anyway, bit of fun. But great show. I think I'm on series six at the moment, so I'm hoping they keep going because it's a good one. [00:59:36] S0: So for anyone out there I I I hear there are couple more seasons on the way, so so we're very very excited about that. Yeah.

[00:59:36] S0: So for anyone out there I I I hear there are couple more seasons on the way, so so we're very very excited about that. Yeah. [00:59:43] S1: There we go. Right. So we've we've we've strayed off track, and we're now talking about our favorite box set, so it's probably time to wrap it up. But Rohit, it's been an absolute pleasure having you on the show. There is clearly lots more that we could talk about, but we just simply haven't got time. But for me, this has been a great education on what's really happening out there in a Gen Z commerce and what's coming. And, you know, quite a sort of dig in the ribs really almost to start really thinking about how we reframe our businesses for this next era. So I hope the audience find lots of value in the conversation as well, and and thank you very much. [01:00:23] S0: Well, thank you so much for having me, Tony. Really enjoyed this conversation and talking about all things agentic and what agents can do for businesses beyond commerce.
