- 1:16something
- 1:17that
- 1:17you've
- 1:17developed
- 1:18solved
- 1:19the
- 1:19problem
- 1:19means
- 1:20that
- 1:20people
- 1:21automatically
- 1:21want
- 1:22it
- 1:22Unfortunately,
- 1:23that
- 1:24is
- 1:24not
- 1:24always
- 1:25the
- 1:25case.
- 1:25So
- 1:26don't
- 1:27get
- 1:27too
- 1:27excited
- 1:27when
- 1:28you
- 1:28think
- 1:28you've
- 1:28solved
- 1:28a
- 1:28problem
- 1:29because
- 1:29healthcare
- 1:29is
- 1:30full
- 1:30of
- 1:30problems,
- 1:30and
- 1:30you
- 1:30know
- 1:31that.
- 1:31Every
- 1:32hospital
- 1:32has
- 1:32problems.
- 1:33Every
- 1:33clinician
- 1:33has
- 1:33problems.
- 1:34Every
- 1:34procurement
- 1:35team
- 1:35has
- 1:35problems.
- 1:36The
- 1:36question
- 1:36isn't
- 1:37for
- 1:37your
- 1:37product
- 1:37or
- 1:37your
- 1:38solution,
- 1:38does
- 1:39a
- 1:39problem
- 1:40exist
- 1:40that
- 1:40you're
- 1:40solving?
- 1:41The
- 1:41question
- 1:42actually
- 1:42is
- 1:43that
- 1:43problem
- 1:44important
- 1:44enough
- 1:45for
- 1:45somebody
- 1:45to
- 1:45do
- 1:45something
- 1:46about
- 1:46it?
- 1:46And
- 1:47that's
- 1:47what
- 1:47we're
- 1:47gonna
- 1:47explore
- 1:48today.
- 1:48Because
- 1:48the
- 1:48companies
- 1:49that
- 1:49achieve
- 1:49adoption
- 1:50aren't
- 1:50necessarily
- 1:51the
- 1:52ones
- 1:52solving
- 1:52the
- 1:52biggest
- 1:53problems.
- 1:53They're
- 1:54more
- 1:54often
- 1:54than
- 1:54not
- 1:55the
- 1:55ones
- 1:55that
- 1:55are
- 1:55solving
- 1:56the
- 1:56highest
- 1:57priorities.
- 1:58So
- 1:59what
- 1:59I
- 1:59wanna
- 1:59do
- 1:59now
- 2:00is
- 2:00get
- 2:00into
- 2:00the
- 2:00four-step
- 2:01framework,
- 2:02which
- 2:02will
- 2:02help
- 2:02you
- 2:02assess
- 2:03whether
- 2:03customers
- 2:04are
- 2:04likely
- 2:04to
- 2:04adopt
- 2:04your
- 2:05solution
- 2:05or
- 2:06not.
- 2:06And
- 2:06then
- 2:06at
- 2:07the
- 2:07end
- 2:07of
- 2:07each
- 2:07of
- 2:07those
- 2:07steps,
- 2:08I
- 2:08wanna
- 2:08give
- 2:08you
- 2:08an
- 2:08action
- 2:09to
- 2:09go
- 2:09away
- 2:10and
- 2:10actually
- 2:10implement.
- 2:11So
- 2:12step
- 2:13one
- 2:13is
- 2:13it
- 2:14a
- 2:14problem
- 2:14or
- 2:14is
- 2:14it
- 2:14a
- 2:14priority?
- 2:15Because
- 2:15let's
- 2:16be
- 2:16honest
- 2:16about
- 2:16it.
- 2:17As
- 2:17I
- 2:17said,
- 2:17you
- 2:18all
- 2:18know
- 2:18that
- 2:18healthcare
- 2:18is
- 2:18full
- 2:19of
- 2:19problems.
- 2:19I
- 2:19don't
- 2:20care
- 2:20where
- 2:20you
- 2:20are
- 2:20in
- 2:20the
- 2:21world,
- 2:21you've
- 2:21got
- 2:21probably
- 2:22long
- 2:22waiting
- 2:22lists,
- 2:23you
- 2:23got
- 2:23staff
- 2:23shortages,
- 2:24you
- 2:24got
- 2:24budget
- 2:24pressures,
- 2:25training
- 2:26gaps,
- 2:26communication
- 2:26issues,
- 2:27workflow
- 2:28inefficiencies.
- 2:29The
- 2:29existence
- 2:30of
- 2:30a
- 2:30problem
- 2:31does
- 2:31not
- 2:31automatically
- 2:32create
- 2:32demand
- 2:33for
- 2:33your
- 2:33product,
- 2:33even
- 2:33if
- 2:33it's
- 2:34solving
- 2:34a
- 2:34problem.
- 2:35Because
- 2:35hospitals
- 2:36don't
- 2:36solve
- 2:37every
- 2:37problem.
- 2:38They
- 2:38solve
- 2:38the
- 2:38problem
- 2:39that
- 2:39matter
- 2:40the
- 2:40most.
- 2:40Now,
- 2:41let's
- 2:41just
- 2:41take
- 2:41a
- 2:41s-
- 2:42a
- 2:42sidestep
- 2:42away
- 2:43from
- 2:43healthcare
- 2:43for
- 2:43a
- 2:43second
- 2:44and
- 2:44think
- 2:44about
- 2:45your
- 2:45own
- 2:45life.
- 2:46You
- 2:46probably
- 2:46have
- 2:46dozens
- 2:47of
- 2:47problems.
- 2:48Maybe
- 2:48you
- 2:49need
- 2:49to
- 2:49exercise
- 2:49more,
- 2:50as
- 2:50we
- 2:50all
- 2:50do.
- 2:51Maybe
- 2:51you
- 2:51should
- 2:52organize
- 2:52your
- 2:52finances
- 2:53better.
- 2:53Maybe
- 2:54you
- 2:54should--
- 2:54you
- 2:54need
- 2:54to
- 2:54clear
- 2:55out
- 2:55your
- 2:55garage.
- 2:56They're
- 2:56all
- 2:56problems,
- 2:57but
- 2:57it
- 2:57doesn't
- 2:57mean
- 2:57that
- 2:57you're
- 2:57gonna
- 2:58work
- 2:58on
- 2:58all
- 2:58of
- 2:59them
- 2:59because
- 3:00they
- 3:00may
- 3:00not
- 3:00all
- 3:01necessarily
- 3:01be
- 3:01priorities.
- 3:02And
- 3:02until
- 3:03they
- 3:03become
- 3:03priorities,
- 3:04you
- 3:04don't
- 3:04do
- 3:04anything
- 3:04about
- 3:04them.
- 3:05So
- 3:05healthcare
- 3:06works
- 3:06exactly
- 3:07the
- 3:07same
- 3:07way.
- 3:08Let's
- 3:08imagine
- 3:08you
- 3:08developed
- 3:08a
- 3:09product
- 3:09that
- 3:09saves
- 3:09nurses
- 3:10five
- 3:10minutes
- 3:10per
- 3:10shift.
- 3:11That
- 3:11is
- 3:11a
- 3:11genuine
- 3:12benefit.
- 3:13So
- 3:13everybody
- 3:13thinks,
- 3:14"Oh
- 3:14I've
- 3:14found
- 3:14a
- 3:14problem.
- 3:15I've
- 3:15got
- 3:16a
- 3:16solution
- 3:16that
- 3:16can
- 3:16actually
- 3:17reduce
- 3:17that
- 3:17five
- 3:18minutes
- 3:18per
- 3:18shift."
- 3:19So
- 3:19it's
- 3:20a
- 3:20real
- 3:20problem.
- 3:21But
- 3:21if
- 3:21the
- 3:21hospital
- 3:22is
- 3:22dealing
- 3:23with
- 3:23staff
- 3:23shortages,
- 3:24patient
- 3:25safety
- 3:25concerns,
- 3:25and
- 3:25financial
- 3:26pressures,
- 3:27your
- 3:27problem
- 3:28may
- 3:28not
- 3:28make
- 3:29the
- 3:29priority
- 3:29list
- 3:29of
- 3:30that
- 3:30healthcare
- 3:30facility.
- 3:31So
- 3:31you
- 3:31may
- 3:32prove
- 3:32a
- 3:32problem
- 3:32exists,
- 3:33and
- 3:33you
- 3:33may
- 3:34produce
- 3:34the
- 3:34product
- 3:35that
- 3:35solves
- 3:35that
- 3:35problem.
- 3:36But
- 3:36if
- 3:37you
- 3:37never
- 3:37prove
- 3:38it's
- 3:38important
- 3:38enough
- 3:39to
- 3:39act
- 3:39upon,
- 3:40then
- 3:40actually
- 3:41your
- 3:41product
- 3:41or
- 3:41solution
- 3:42is
- 3:42not
- 3:42gonna
- 3:42be
- 3:42adopted.
- 3:43So
- 3:44the
- 3:44action
- 3:44I
- 3:44want
- 3:44you
- 3:44to
- 3:44take
- 3:45based
- 3:45on
- 3:45this
- 3:46step
- 3:46one,
- 3:46is
- 3:47go
- 3:47and
- 3:47speak
- 3:47to
- 3:47three
- 3:48customers
- 3:48this
- 3:48week
- 3:49and
- 3:49ask
- 3:49them,
- 3:50where
- 3:50does
- 3:51this
- 3:51challenge
- 3:51rank
- 3:52compared
- 3:53with
- 3:53everything
- 3:54else
- 3:54that
- 3:54you're
- 3:54dealing
- 3:55with
- 3:55right
- 3:56now?
- 3:56Not,
- 3:57what
- 3:58do
- 3:58you
- 3:58think
- 3:58of
- 3:59the
- 3:59product?
- 3:59Not,
- 3:59can
- 3:59you
- 3:59see
- 4:00the
- 4:00benefits?
- 4:00'Cause
- 4:00they'll
- 4:00be--
- 4:01they,
- 4:01they'll
- 4:01say
- 4:01yes,
- 4:02and
- 4:02they'll
- 4:02give
- 4:02you
- 4:02positives.
- 4:03But
- 4:03I
- 4:03want
- 4:03you
- 4:04to
- 4:04ask
- 4:04them
- 4:05that
- 4:05question,
- 4:05because
- 4:05then
- 4:06what
- 4:06you're
- 4:06effectively
- 4:06asking
- 4:06is
- 4:07how
- 4:07important
- 4:07is
- 4:07solving
- 4:08this
- 4:08compared
- 4:09with
- 4:09your
- 4:09other
- 4:09priorities?
- 4:10Because
- 4:11if
- 4:11it's
- 4:11consistently
- 4:12in
- 4:12the
- 4:12top
- 4:12three,
- 4:13then
- 4:13you
- 4:13want
- 4:13to
- 4:14keep
- 4:14going.
- 4:14If
- 4:15it's
- 4:15number
- 4:1517
- 4:16for
- 4:16that
- 4:16list,
- 4:16you've
- 4:17found
- 4:17a
- 4:17problem,
- 4:18but
- 4:18you
- 4:18may
- 4:18not
- 4:19have
- 4:19found
- 4:19a
- 4:19priority,
- 4:20and
- 4:20priorities
- 4:21are
- 4:21what
- 4:21drive
- 4:22adoption.
- 4:23So
- 4:23If
- 4:23you
- 4:24haven't
- 4:24found
- 4:24a
- 4:24priority,
- 4:25you've
- 4:25only
- 4:25found
- 4:25a
- 4:25problem,
- 4:26then
- 4:26you
- 4:26have
- 4:26to
- 4:26do
- 4:27a
- 4:27bit
- 4:27more
- 4:27digging.
- 4:27You
- 4:27need
- 4:28to
- 4:28find
- 4:28out
- 4:28If
- 4:28there's
- 4:28other
- 4:29consequences
- 4:30that
- 4:30can
- 4:30become
- 4:30priorities
- 4:31for
- 4:31that
- 4:31problem.
- 4:32So
- 4:32that's
- 4:32step
- 4:33one.
- 4:33Is
- 4:34it
- 4:34a
- 4:34problem
- 4:34or
- 4:35a
- 4:35priority?
- 4:35You
- 4:35need
- 4:35a
- 4:35priority
- 4:36before
- 4:37you
- 4:37start
- 4:37moving
- 4:37on.
- 4:37So
- 4:38now
- 4:38let's
- 4:38take
- 4:38that
- 4:39a
- 4:39step
- 4:39further,
- 4:41and
- 4:41the
- 4:41step
- 4:41two
- 4:41is
- 4:42what
- 4:42happens
- 4:43if
- 4:43they
- 4:43do
- 4:44nothing?
- 4:44Because
- 4:44one
- 4:45of
- 4:45the
- 4:45biggest
- 4:46challenges
- 4:46founders
- 4:47find
- 4:48when
- 4:48they're
- 4:48focusing
- 4:49entirely
- 4:50just
- 4:50purely
- 4:50on
- 4:50the
- 4:50benefits,
- 4:52i.e.,
- 4:52We
- 4:52save
- 4:52time,
- 4:53we
- 4:53improve
- 4:53efficiency,
- 4:54we
- 4:54reduce
- 4:55workload
- 4:56of
- 4:56course,
- 4:56those
- 4:57things
- 4:57matter
- 4:57But
- 4:58what
- 4:58really
- 4:58drives
- 4:59adoption
- 4:59is
- 5:00consequences.
- 5:01What
- 5:02happens
- 5:02if
- 5:03they
- 5:03don't
- 5:03solve
- 5:03that
- 5:04problem?
- 5:04So
- 5:05if
- 5:05a
- 5:05hospital
- 5:05ignores
- 5:05a
- 5:06staffing
- 5:06problem,
- 5:06what's
- 5:07gonna
- 5:07happen?
- 5:07Patients
- 5:08wait
- 5:08longer.
- 5:09That's
- 5:09a
- 5:09consequence.
- 5:09Staff
- 5:10become
- 5:10overwhelmed.
- 5:11Consequence.
- 5:12Costs
- 5:12increase.
- 5:13I
- 5:13think
- 5:13you
- 5:13get
- 5:13where
- 5:13I'm
- 5:13going.
- 5:14Performance
- 5:14suffers.
- 5:15That's
- 5:15why
- 5:16staffing
- 5:16becomes
- 5:17a
- 5:17priority.
- 5:18Now
- 5:18think
- 5:18about
- 5:19your
- 5:19product
- 5:19or
- 5:19solution.
- 5:20If
- 5:21nobody
- 5:21adopts
- 5:21it,
- 5:22what
- 5:22happens?
- 5:23Does
- 5:23risk
- 5:24increase?
- 5:24Do
- 5:25costs
- 5:26increase?
- 5:27Does
- 5:27revenue
- 5:27fall?
- 5:28Do
- 5:28outcomes
- 5:28worsen?
- 5:29Does
- 5:29somebody
- 5:30lose
- 5:30sleep?
- 5:31i.e.,
- 5:31what's
- 5:31the
- 5:31consequence?
- 5:32And
- 5:32the
- 5:32term
- 5:32I
- 5:32always
- 5:33use
- 5:33is
- 5:33what
- 5:33is
- 5:34keeping
- 5:35that
- 5:35customer
- 5:36up
- 5:36at
- 5:36night?
- 5:37What
- 5:37are
- 5:37the
- 5:37consequences?
- 5:38Because
- 5:38if
- 5:38nothing
- 5:38really
- 5:38changes
- 5:39or
- 5:39they
- 5:40perceive
- 5:40that
- 5:40nothing's
- 5:41gonna
- 5:41change
- 5:41if
- 5:42they
- 5:42don't
- 5:42do
- 5:42anything,
- 5:43then
- 5:44adoption
- 5:44becomes
- 5:44really
- 5:45difficult.
- 5:45Because
- 5:46People
- 5:46don't
- 5:46change
- 5:47just
- 5:47because
- 5:47something
- 5:48is
- 5:48better.
- 5:48They
- 5:49change
- 5:49because
- 5:49staying
- 5:50the
- 5:50same
- 5:50becomes
- 5:51uncomfortable,
- 5:52and
- 5:52it
- 5:53keeps
- 5:53them
- 5:53up
- 5:53at
- 5:53night.
- 5:54So
- 5:54the
- 5:54action
- 5:55I
- 5:55want
- 5:55you
- 5:55to
- 5:55take
- 5:56here
- 5:56for
- 5:56step
- 5:56two
- 5:57is
- 5:57go
- 5:57and
- 5:58ask
- 5:58your
- 5:58customers
- 5:59what
- 5:59happens
- 6:00if
- 6:00this
- 6:00problem
- 6:01never
- 6:01gets
- 6:01solved.
- 6:02If
- 6:02the
- 6:02answer
- 6:02is
- 6:03not
- 6:03much
- 6:03really,
- 6:04or
- 6:04they're
- 6:04not
- 6:05that
- 6:05concerned
- 6:06about
- 6:06what
- 6:06the
- 6:06consequence
- 6:07may
- 6:07be,
- 6:08then
- 6:08you've
- 6:08got
- 6:09a
- 6:09lot
- 6:09of
- 6:09work
- 6:09to
- 6:09do.
- 6:10You
- 6:10need
- 6:10to,
- 6:10again,
- 6:10start
- 6:11finding
- 6:11some
- 6:12consequences
- 6:12that
- 6:13actually
- 6:13resonate
- 6:14with
- 6:14them
- 6:15and
- 6:15keep
- 6:15them
- 6:15up
- 6:15at
- 6:15night.
- 6:16If
- 6:16the
- 6:16answer
- 6:17is,
- 6:17however,
- 6:17it
- 6:17creates
- 6:18risk,
- 6:18it
- 6:18costs
- 6:19money,
- 6:19it
- 6:19slows
- 6:20us
- 6:20down,
- 6:20it
- 6:20affects
- 6:21outcomes,
- 6:22now
- 6:22you're
- 6:23getting
- 6:23closer
- 6:23to
- 6:24what
- 6:24we
- 6:24would
- 6:24describe
- 6:25as
- 6:25a
- 6:25genuine
- 6:25priority.
- 6:26Because
- 6:26priorities
- 6:27have
- 6:27consequences,
- 6:28and
- 6:29consequences
- 6:30get
- 6:30focus
- 6:31from
- 6:31your
- 6:31customers
- 6:32and
- 6:32budget.
- 6:33So
- 6:33you've
- 6:33now
- 6:34tried
- 6:34to
- 6:35identify
- 6:36whether
- 6:36it's
- 6:36a
- 6:36problem
- 6:37or
- 6:37a
- 6:38You're
- 6:38thinking
- 6:39you've
- 6:39got
- 6:39a
- 6:39priority
- 6:40because
- 6:40it's
- 6:41got
- 6:41consequences.
- 6:42You
- 6:42then
- 6:42move
- 6:42on
- 6:42to
- 6:42step
- 6:43three,
- 6:43are
- 6:44they
- 6:44already
- 6:45trying
- 6:45to
- 6:45fix
- 6:46it?
- 6:46Because
- 6:46we
- 6:46wanna
- 6:47now
- 6:47start
- 6:47looking
- 6:47at
- 6:47behavior,
- 6:48because
- 6:48behavior
- 6:49will
- 6:50tell
- 6:50you
- 6:50far
- 6:50more
- 6:51than
- 6:51what
- 6:51they
- 6:51actually
- 6:52say.
- 6:52'Cause
- 6:53they
- 6:53may
- 6:53well
- 6:53say,
- 6:53"Oh
- 6:53yeah,
- 6:54it's
- 6:54a
- 6:54priority.
- 6:55These
- 6:55are
- 6:55all
- 6:55the
- 6:55issues
- 6:56that
- 6:56happen."
- 6:56But
- 6:57we
- 6:57wanna
- 6:57now
- 6:57look
- 6:57at
- 6:58whether
- 6:58they're
- 6:58doing
- 6:58anything
- 6:59about
- 6:59it.
- 6:59Many
- 7:00people
- 7:01will
- 7:01always
- 7:01tell
- 7:01you
- 7:02that
- 7:02the
- 7:02problem
- 7:02is
- 7:02important.
- 7:03Far
- 7:03fewer
- 7:04will
- 7:04actually
- 7:05do
- 7:05something
- 7:05about
- 7:05that
- 7:05problem.
- 7:06So
- 7:07let's
- 7:07imagine
- 7:08that
- 7:08somebody
- 7:08says,
- 7:08"Oh
- 7:09yeah,
- 7:09it's
- 7:09a
- 7:09real
- 7:09big
- 7:10issue."
- 7:10Obviously,
- 7:11what
- 7:11you're
- 7:11gonna
- 7:11ask
- 7:11them
- 7:11is,
- 7:12"Okay,
- 7:12what
- 7:12have
- 7:12you
- 7:12done
- 7:13about
- 7:13it?
- 7:13Because
- 7:14if
- 7:14it's
- 7:14a
- 7:14big
- 7:14issue,
- 7:14surely
- 7:15you've
- 7:15done
- 7:15something
- 7:15about
- 7:15it."
- 7:16Now,
- 7:16if
- 7:16they've
- 7:17allocated
- 7:17budget
- 7:18or
- 7:18they've
- 7:18created
- 7:19a
- 7:19project
- 7:19team,
- 7:20they've
- 7:20trialed
- 7:20alternative,
- 7:21they've
- 7:21changed
- 7:21processes,
- 7:22they've
- 7:22written
- 7:22policies,
- 7:23they've
- 7:23assigned
- 7:23responsibility,
- 7:24then
- 7:25that's
- 7:25a
- 7:25really
- 7:25good
- 7:25sign
- 7:26that
- 7:26you've
- 7:26got
- 7:26a
- 7:26genuine
- 7:27priority
- 7:28because
- 7:29their
- 7:29behavior
- 7:30is
- 7:30matching
- 7:30their
- 7:30words,
- 7:31i.e.,
- 7:31they're
- 7:31doing
- 7:32something
- 7:32about
- 7:32it.
- 7:33But
- 7:33If
- 7:33they've
- 7:33lived
- 7:34with
- 7:34the
- 7:34problem
- 7:35for
- 7:3510
- 7:35years
- 7:36and
- 7:36done
- 7:36absolutely
- 7:36nothing,
- 7:36then
- 7:36maybe
- 7:36it's
- 7:36not
- 7:37the
- 7:37priority
- 7:37that
- 7:38they've
- 7:38been
- 7:38claiming
- 7:38it
- 7:38is.
- 7:39A-and
- 7:39one
- 7:39of
- 7:39the
- 7:39best
- 7:40indicators
- 7:40of
- 7:40future
- 7:41adoption
- 7:42is
- 7:42whether
- 7:42somebody's
- 7:43already
- 7:43trying
- 7:43to
- 7:44solve
- 7:44the
- 7:44problem
- 7:44today
- 7:45because
- 7:45if
- 7:46they're
- 7:46already
- 7:46looking
- 7:46for
- 7:47a
- 7:47solution,
- 7:47and
- 7:47they've
- 7:47tried
- 7:48different
- 7:48things,
- 7:49then
- 7:49you're
- 7:49joining
- 7:50an
- 7:50active
- 7:51conversation
- 7:51about
- 7:51how
- 7:52to
- 7:52solve
- 7:52this
- 7:52priority.
- 7:53But
- 7:54if
- 7:54they're
- 7:54not
- 7:55trying
- 7:55to
- 7:56do
- 7:56anything,
- 7:56and
- 7:56they're
- 7:57not
- 7:57looking
- 7:57for
- 7:58a
- 7:58solution,
- 7:59then
- 7:59you're

- 8:01a
- 8:01problem,
- 8:02and
- 8:02that's
- 8:03significantly
- 8:04harder.
- 8:05So
- 8:05the
- 8:05action
- 8:05that
- 8:06I
- 8:06want
- 8:06you
- 8:06to

- 8:10already
- 8:10done
- 8:11to
- 8:11solve
- 8:11this
- 8:11problem?"
- 8:11And
- 8:12then
- 8:12what
- 8:12you're
- 8:12looking
- 8:12for,
- 8:13obviously,
- 8:13is
- 8:13evidence
- 8:14of
- 8:14action.
- 8:14The
- 8:14more
- 8:15effort
- 8:15they've
- 8:15already
- 8:16invested,
- 8:17the

- 8:22something
- 8:22with
- 8:22your

- 8:30genuine
- 8:31priority.
- 8:31The
- 8:32next
- 8:32question
- 8:32is,
- 8:33who
- 8:33benefits
- 8:34most
- 8:34if
- 8:35this
- 8:35problem
- 8:35gets
- 8:35solved?
- 8:36'Cause
- 8:36that's
- 8:36who
- 8:36you
- 8:36really
- 8:36want
- 8:37to
- 8:37be

- 8:38because
- 8:38not
- 8:38everyone,
- 8:39cares
- 8:39equally
- 8:40about
- 8:40problems.
- 8:41And
- 8:41this
- 8:41is
- 8:41where
- 8:42actually
- 8:42many
- 8:42med
- 8:43tech
- 8:43companies
- 8:43start
- 8:44to
- 8:44lose
- 8:44momentum.
- 8:45They
- 8:45do
- 8:45the
- 8:45first
- 8:45three
- 8:46steps.
- 8:47They've
- 8:47got
- 8:47a
- 8:47genuine
- 8:47problem
- 8:48But
- 8:48the
- 8:48challenge
- 8:49is
- 8:49that
- 8:49lots
- 8:49of

- 9:00simple
- 9:00example.
