- 21:52very
- 21:52much
- 21:52interconnected
- 21:53and
- 21:54I
- 21:54don't
- 21:54think
- 21:54that
- 21:54that's
- 21:55addressed
- 21:55enough.
- 21:55If
- 21:56we're
- 21:56spinning,
- 21:56I
- 21:57like
- 21:57to
- 21:57say
- 21:57I
- 21:57want

- 22:02draining
- 22:02task.
- 22:03Will
- 22:03you

- 22:07Ideally,
- 22:07yes,
- 22:08but
- 22:08probably

- 22:09I
- 22:09want
- 22:09to
- 22:09see
- 22:09more
- 22:10green
- 22:10than

- 42:24that
- 42:24differentiation
- 42:25in
- 42:25our
- 42:25business
- 42:25business
- 42:26over
- 42:26whether

- 42:27just
- 42:27be
- 42:27a
- 42:27nice
- 42:27addition,
- 42:28whether
- 42:28actually
- 42:29it's
- 42:29fairly
- 42:30essential?
- 42:30Yeah,
- 42:31I

- 42:33It's
- 42:34really
- 42:34dependent
- 42:35upon
- 42:35you.
- 42:35Like
- 42:35I
- 42:35do
- 42:36have
- 42:36people
- 42:36who
- 42:36work

- 42:37paper
- 42:37systems
- 42:38and
- 42:38it
- 42:38would
- 42:39be
- 42:40against
- 42:40their
- 42:40best
- 42:41interest
- 42:41to
- 42:41move
- 42:41them
- 42:42into
- 42:42an
- 42:42actual
- 42:43piece
- 42:43of
- 42:43tech
- 42:43because
- 42:43that's
- 42:44not
- 42:44how
- 42:45their
- 42:45brain
- 42:45is
- 42:45wired.
- 42:46That
- 42:46is
- 42:46not
- 42:46the
- 42:46generation
- 42:47that
- 42:47they
- 42:47grew
- 42:47up
- 42:47in.
- 42:48So
- 42:48I
- 42:48want
- 42:48to
- 42:48know
- 42:49where
- 42:50you're
- 42:50at
- 42:50and
- 42:50where

- 42:51thrive
- 42:51the
- 42:51most
- 42:52and
- 42:52does
- 42:52that.
- 42:52I
- 42:52mean,
- 42:52there
- 42:53are
- 42:53certain
- 42:53things,
- 42:54certainly
- 42:54things
- 42:54we
- 42:54can
- 42:55optimize

- 42:56that
- 42:56paper
- 42:56system.
- 42:57But
- 42:57just
- 42:58cold

- 43:01that's
- 43:01not
- 43:01going
- 43:01to
- 43:01feel
- 43:01supportive.
- 43:02So
- 43:02I
- 43:03think
- 43:03we
- 43:03have
- 43:03to
- 43:03just
- 43:03understand

- 43:11because
- 43:11I
- 43:11actually

- 43:14help
- 43:14my
- 43:14business,
- 43:14or
- 43:14am
- 43:15I
- 43:15going
- 43:15after
- 43:15it
- 43:15because
- 43:15somebody
- 43:16else

- 43:16me
- 43:17to
- 43:17go
- 43:17after
- 43:17it
- 43:17and
- 43:17I
- 43:18don't
- 43:18know
- 43:18the
- 43:18why
- 43:18and
- 43:18then
- 43:19getting
- 43:19clear

- 43:20the
- 43:20why,
- 43:20why
- 43:20you
- 43:21want
- 43:21that
- 43:21thing.
- 43:21And
- 43:21if
- 43:21the
- 43:22why
- 43:22you
- 43:22want
- 43:22that

- 43:26good
- 43:26enough
- 43:26reason.
- 43:27So
- 43:28I
- 43:28think
- 43:28understanding
- 43:29yourself
- 43:29and
- 43:29understanding
- 43:30what

- 43:41you're
- 43:41like,
- 43:41all
- 43:42everybody

- 43:49all
- 43:49off
- 43:49the
- 43:49wall.
- 43:49And
- 43:49eventually
- 43:50you
- 43:50hit
- 43:50strategy

- 43:51scale
- 43:51stage.
- 43:52But
- 43:52when
- 43:52you're
- 43:52in
- 43:52that

- 43:58they
- 43:59telling
- 43:59me
- 43:59I

- 44:00But
- 44:00they're
- 44:00not
- 44:01running
- 44:01your
- 44:01business.
- 44:01They're
- 44:02not
- 44:02you.
- 44:02They
- 44:03don't
- 44:03have
- 44:03your
- 44:03brain.
- 44:03We're
- 44:04all
- 44:04very
- 44:04uniquely
- 44:05wired.
- 44:05We

- 44:08So
- 44:08I

- 44:08we
- 44:09have
- 44:09to
- 44:09get
- 44:09clear
- 44:09on
- 44:10that
- 44:10piece
- 44:10of
- 44:10it
- 44:10first
- 44:11before
- 44:11we
- 44:11can
- 44:11make
- 44:11any
- 44:11real
- 44:12decision
- 44:12on
- 44:13is
- 44:13this
- 44:13a
- 44:14nice
- 44:14to
- 44:14have
- 44:14or
- 44:14is
- 44:14this
- 44:14a
- 44:14necessity
- 44:15for
- 44:15my
- 44:15business?
- 44:15Business
- 44:16really
- 44:16helpful.
- 44:17And
- 44:17also
- 44:17I
- 44:17think
- 44:18it's
- 44:18such
- 44:18a
- 44:18balance,
- 44:19isn't
- 44:19it?
- 44:19Because
- 44:19sometimes
- 44:20there
- 44:20are
- 44:20state.
- 44:21There
- 44:21are
- 44:21times
- 44:21when
- 44:21we
- 44:22are
- 44:22resistant
- 44:23because
- 44:23we're
- 44:23stubborn,
- 44:24and
- 44:24sometimes
- 44:25there's
- 44:25times
- 44:25when
- 44:26we're
- 44:26resistant
- 44:27because
- 44:27actually
- 44:27it
- 44:27just
- 44:27doesn't
- 44:28work
- 44:28for
- 44:28us.
- 44:28And
- 44:28I
- 44:28think
- 44:28it's
- 44:29knowing
- 44:29in
- 44:29ourselves.
- 44:30You
- 44:30know,
- 44:30sometimes
- 44:31I'll
- 44:31talk
- 44:31to
- 44:31people
- 44:31and
- 44:32I'll
- 44:32say,
- 44:32you
- 44:32know,
- 44:33have
- 44:33you
- 44:33thought
- 44:33about
- 44:34having
- 44:34this
- 44:34appointment
- 44:35calendar?
- 44:35And
- 44:35they're
- 44:36really
- 44:36resistant,
- 44:37but
- 44:37not
- 44:37because
- 44:38they
- 44:38have
- 44:38a
- 44:38logical
- 44:38reason,
- 44:39but
- 44:39just
- 44:39because
- 44:40it's
- 44:40not
- 44:40how
- 44:40they've
- 44:40always
- 44:41done
- 44:41it
- 44:41and
- 44:41they
- 44:41want
- 44:41to

- 44:42with
- 44:42how
- 44:42they've
- 44:42always
- 44:42done
- 44:42it.
- 44:43And
- 44:43so,
- 44:43so
- 44:43it's
- 44:43that
- 44:44difficult
- 44:45decision
- 44:45as
- 44:46to
- 44:46whether
