[01:03:24] S0: Saves lives, yeah. He detects early diseases. He's a scientist. [01:03:37] S2: He's this – anyway, he got up and I'll never forget it because the story was the guy who was doing the introduction was the dean of the business school for University of Ottawa. He got up and he had this long rambling opening for Paul. He's like, this guy is this scientist, he's this, he's this, he's done this. By the way, he just wrote a book that he's released on how to be productive, productive book and going on about Paul, I've known this guy my whole life, my whole life, blah blah. It was a nine-minute introduction about Paul. Then he’s like, and the other contender, oh, wait, what? You could see it. He's trying to think of, oh, okay, what can I say? What can I say? What can I say? I have nothing to say about this guy. I have nothing to say. He's like, Rob Woodbridge, I knew his father. Alright, let's go. That's what he said. Then I won. You should have seen, he's like opening it up and he's like, wait, wait. [01:04:28] S1: There's a mistake. [01:04:29] S0: There's a wrong name. You have that moment. It was wrong. It was terrible.

[01:04:29] S0: There's a wrong name. You have that moment. It was wrong. It was terrible. [01:04:36] S1: You’ve got to stay away from that stuff, those accolades. Again, back to what we talked about in the beginning, this validation from the wrong places. Who cares how many articles are written about you? Who cares how many awards you win? Who cares about any of this? Who even cares how much money you raise? That's not even the end goal. All of it is useless. It's useless. The only thing that matters is the customer and is, are you solving a problem for a customer? Are they willing to pay you to do that? Can you scale? If you're not doing that, the rest of it is just vanity metrics and it's useless and is going to, at the end of the day, come tumbling in. I think that's the takeaway.

[01:05:15] S0: Full circle right there, isn't it, guys? Let's stop it there. I think, look, if you listened through this whole episode, there's no doubt that we've helped you become a millionaire because either we've helped you with your startup with all the lessons, but even if you get nothing from that, we gave you a full proof way to make money in the stock market. As soon as a company gets PR, pull that stock. If you listened to this episode and the show and you like it, I have a huge favor to ask for you. Well, it's actually a really small favor, but it has huge impact, but whichever app you're listening to this episode on, take it out, go to Product Market Fit Show and leave a review, please. It's going to help. It's not just going to help me, to be clear. It's going to help other founders discover this show because the algorithms, whether it's Spotify, whether it's Apple, whether it's any other podcast player, one of the big things they look at is frequency of reviews. It's quantity of reviews. The reality is, if all of you listening right now, left reviews, we would have thousands of reviews. Please take literally a minute. Even if you're just writing “great podcast” or “I love this podcast,” whatever it is, just write a few words. Obviously the longer the better, the more detailed the better, but write anything, leave five stars and you'll be helping me, but most importantly, many other founders just like you, discover the show. Thank you.
