[00:38:33] S1: Much, much better. Listen, Andrew, we'll stop it there. I'll ask you the two questions that we always end on. The first one is and especially on this kind of V2 play with bloggers and media, when did you know that you had true product market fit? [00:38:49] S0: We always had a feeling, but to know it, I think it's when we talk with the customer. Before, talking with someone, that you can feel it in their eyes so you get what I'm talking about. You get the point. This is exactly where we felt it, and we felt that twice, first with the event industry when we first started and after this with the blogger segment that we are currently working with. [00:39:09] S1: Okay. Then the last question is – normally, it's actually what's the number one piece of advice you would give yourself? Let me reframe it like this. Because you've gone through these oh shit moments where it really looks like the end is right there, what advice would you give to yourself or other founders that are facing similar existential moments in their business?

Because you've gone through these oh shit moments where it really looks like the end is right there, what advice would you give to yourself or other founders that are facing similar existential moments in their business? [00:39:34] S0: Oh, man, that's a hard one. It's a fine line between getting crazy and resilient. It’s a fine, fine line, and it's a matter of looking at what the market is. Is it a big enough market? Do you have a big enough opportunity? Do you have something that others don't have in terms of data, experiences, skills, network, whatever you want coming out of this? If you believe you have an edge somewhere, you should stay for it. Keep working and pushing and pushing and pushing because you got something that nobody else got, and it's always about timing, as you know, and so on. You got to fight for it. If it's not the case, might as well move on to another project. Your time is the most finite resource. You got to take care of it. You got to empower it as well, so I think it's much more important for you to care and spend your time where you want on something that's going to be driving innovation, that's going to be passionate, that's going to be drive passion for you. That will be my strongest recommendation.

[00:40:28] S1: If you listened to this episode and the show and you like it, I have a huge favor to ask for you. It’s actually a really small favor, but it has huge impact. Whichever app you're listening to this episode on, take It out, go to a 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. 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, and 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. You will be helping me but, most importantly, many other founders just like you discover the show. Thank you.
