0:18.0

for you, Matt. Thank you, Destin. What is the best advice you have ever received? That's

0:24.2

surprisingly difficult. I have a couple that come to mind immediately, but I'm not totally

0:29.9

sure that I'm willing to put those on the internet. Yeah, I know. That's the thing, isn't it?

0:33.4
