[00:55:00] S1: Other than being on camera more, what are you most looking forward to this year? [00:55:05] S0: I think that we moved into this office, which is great. And just overall, one of the things that I say about Philippe is he's an amazing investor. He's in the Hall of Fame of risk management investing, but what people maybe don't fully appreciate is that he's an amazing CEO too, right? Building the business. I joined when we were like 12 people, 700,000,000 in assets. Today we're over $80,000,000,000 200 people, multiple offices. It's crazy when I sit back and think about the twenty year trajectory, and I think that he probably still comes to the office before I do, leaves after I do, works more than I do, and doesn't rest, right? And so to me, the journey is still we talked about the inflection leading to another inflection. I feel like we're, as an organization, are at our second inflection. Maybe probably not second, like fifth inflection, but we're at another inflection where I think we're really on this journey to really just break out. [00:55:58] S1: What do you think his secret is?

[00:55:58] S1: What do you think his secret is? [00:55:59] S0: He plays a lot of padel tennis these days. Don't know, I feel like that's his new hobby, I think it keeps him energetic, keeps him young, and he's very curious and always thinking about what's changing. And it's almost like a mindset, right? You're just in the mindset of like, what is changing? How do we capitalize? What is changing? How do we capitalize? And it's hard. A lot of people like being in an environment where like you have comfort and coziness, and you're like, I know what's here, which is great for some people, but for this industry, for this sector, to be successful, you always have to be thinking about what's changing and how do I catch it. [00:56:32] S1: Amazing place to end. Thank you so much. This was a lovely conversation. [00:56:36] S0: You very much. [00:56:36] S1: Hey, it's Molly.
