[00:17:25] S1: Yeah. But, yeah, what would you like to have... What would you like to say you were able to accomplish as the SPP of Growth and Marketing? [00:17:32] S0: That's a great question. We just finished fourth quarter goals too. So one thing I wanna walk away from the end of this year is having tried two, like, real wild card, high growth potential things. Like, even if both of them fail, but, like, really trying just to real stretch things. Everyone has the traditional channels, but if you're not, like, truly experimenting with something crazy, then you're probably wasting time. Like, when I was at Flowcode, I remember we got a couple cease and desists from, like, this one campaign we run. And everyone was pumped because we ended up getting two enterprise contracts from it. But, like, we literally, like, we went for it. And I think you have to do that if you ever wanna, like, start catching the momentum you really need to make a earlier stage tech company have the big kind of cross the chasm, as I say. [00:18:20] S1: I get that. I get... Yeah. Crossing the chasm. That's everything we wanna talk about on this show as well. It's like understanding how you're able to get to, like, the mainstream and how people will really pay attention. So that's nice, man. Like, you really should go for it. And after I hear how you think and where you've been, I have no doubt that you'll be able to do that, man. [00:18:37] S0: I have a couple crazy things that we're gonna try and you might see, but I don't wanna I don't wanna reveal them yet.

[00:18:37] S0: I have a couple crazy things that we're gonna try and you might see, but I don't wanna I don't wanna reveal them yet. [00:18:41] S1: So exciting. So exciting. And, Cletus, I'm noticing we're almost out of time here, but before I do finish the show, did wanna give you the space for you to let anybody who's listening to us, And if they're in the hospitality business or if they're looking for a loan and they're interested in using Bridge or talking to you guys, what would be the best way for them to contact you? [00:18:58] S0: Just bridge.co. Come... You can fill out a request in, like, two minutes, and it'll basically tell you whether or not we can help you or who you should be talking to. Because sometimes equity is the right place. Sometimes it's debt. If you're running a business, you probably don't understand, like, where you should be and what you should be using to like operate the business, you're doing the other part. So let someone actually help you. [00:19:22] S1: Oh, that's amazing, man. So if you heard it here first to anybody who is listening to us, just go to bridge.co and these people can help you even diagnose what you actually need if it's with them or if it's with somebody else. But with that said, Cletus, thank you so much, man, for your time telling us your story, telling us your learnings, where you've been and where you're going. Really excited to see what happens with Bridge, man. So really appreciate it. [00:19:41] S0: Appreciate it. Thanks for it.

[00:19:41] S0: Appreciate it. Thanks for it. [00:19:43] S1: No. No problem at all, man. It's been an honor. And to anybody who is here and listening to us, we appreciate you as well for hopping on these episodes to learn about the different personalities we're bringing on and all the different industries that we're seeing. So with that said, have a good one.
