[00:51:22] S1: We'll end it there. I'll just ask one last question we always end on. What would be like your number one piece of advice for a founder that's kind of in the, you know, pre seed seed stage, finding product market fit? [00:51:33] S0: Validation only happens when dollars exchange hands, period, full stop. It does not matter. There is no other explanation or excuse other than that. That's one. Two, your cofounder is so so so important. I went and lived with my cofounder in a tiny studio, had breakfast, lunch, dinner, spent $24.07 together for a few weeks, worked together for a few months before we went all in and made the decision. From CEO to CTO, like, the way I think about it is your CEO needs to be able to sell anything your CTO can build. Your CTO needs to be able to build anything your CEO can sell. And as long as those two things are true, there's a really good match, and you can go build a massive company. And I think that's, like, becomes very important as you think about who is your cofounder, who's gonna be there ten years from now. [00:52:14] S1: Perfect, man. Well, dude, thanks for for sharing the story. Think lot of lot of value is tran transferred to founders here, so appreciate it. [00:52:20] S0: Of course. Thanks, Pablo. Take care.

[00:52:20] S0: Of course. Thanks, Pablo. Take care. [00:52:22] S1: So picture this. It's months from now, years from now, and one of your founder friends, a really close founder friends of yours, guess what? Their startup went bankrupt. And it turns out if you had just shared the product market fit show with them, they would have learned everything they needed to to find product market fit and to create a huge success. But instead, their startup has completely failed. You have blood on your hands. Don't let that happen. You don't want to live like that. It is terrible. So do what you need to do. Tell them about the show. Send it to them. Put it on WhatsApp. Put it on Slack. Put it where you need to put it. Just make sure they know about it [00:52:59] S0: and [00:52:59] S1: they check it out.
