[00:33:39] S2: That is really beautifully said, which is on our worst day. We need them to be their best. That's really well said. Garrett, I wanna end on a quick fire round just because you're a really wise guy who's done a lot of good things. Is there a book of any kind that you recommend to people? So just first thing that comes to mind quick answers. Is there a book that you... That changed your life in any way? [00:34:02] S0: So I just recently finished this one, and I'm I'm a huge fan of it. But it's the recent book on Genghis Khan and and Making of the Modern World. And and I say that because he's a historical figure that I've never thought much about. And it's a pretty... It's a long read, but it's just, you know, it's a good reminder that over this period of time, you know, different versions of the story come out. And for someone like James Bond, like, large parts of our society today stem from his idea, and he was he was nothing when he was born. He was just a person. And it just goes to show you that, like, any one of us can have an incredible impact on the entire world. [00:34:38] S2: I love it. Is there a mantra or a phrase? I always say, like, a quote, something that kinda just, like, runs as, like, a value system for you. Or clearly, it sounds like you have got strong rules in your household. What's what sort of a mantra or quote that you love?

Or clearly, it sounds like you have got strong rules in your household. What's what sort of a mantra or quote that you love? [00:34:53] S0: Effectively, like, you bring the water with you, which we tell our kids all the time. Like, if you're in a bad mood and you bring that with you, you're gonna make everyone else in a bad mood. And I think so much of life as we get older is just getting really good at bouncing back from adversity and just going from bad mood to good mood knowing that that mood there there is everywhere you go. [00:35:15] S2: I'm gonna steal that. I love that. Is there a habit being a repeat entrepreneur, just sort of a habit that you've learned kind of centers you?

[00:35:26] S0: I think for me, the the number one thing is, like, every morning I make our kids breakfast, and it's just a good reminder going into the day that, like, my kids, they don't care about what's happening at work. They don't care about... They're not all them. They have to care about what's happening online or in the news. And so then it's just like, you know, are we having waffles? Are we having eggs? Are we having French toast? Like, that's the only thing that matters. And so at least that, you know, thirty or forty five minute period, all I have to think about is getting food on this table and making, you know, three little kids happy, which is pretty easy to do in the scheme of things when it comes to breakfast. So that's it for me. I'd be every day. Start my day on a fine night. [00:36:02] S2: I also make breakfast every morning, and I'm just... I'm feeling my breakfast crowd is more is is more complicated because it's like mom waffles and eggs Yeah. And a side of avocado. And I'm like, yes. It's coming. Yeah. And I wanna end on your New Year's resolution for 2026. I don't know if you have one yet, but if you have anything that is gonna be a new goal for your own life, pay it forward to us. What is it?

[00:36:25] S0: I've recently fully recovered from a hip injury from running, and so I'm back to running again. So I've got a fast marathon in the first half of the year, and I'll see if I can send a new personal best. So that... That's my, at least, first half of the year goal. [00:36:38] S2: That's awesome. Garrett, on the most sincere note, I I cannot thank you enough for making our streets safe for for all of us. I do think we are moving towards a world where we can feel better about our own safety. And I I think without you, we would not be imagining that world fast enough. And, again, the Inspired team regularly says wonderful things about your company because it's one of the companies that is both extremely ambitious, doing incredible work that we can all rally behind and and and feel like we can root for it. So sincerely, I'm rooting for you. It's so nice to get to have you on today. Thank you. [00:37:23] S0: Thank you. Have a great rest of your day.
