The We're in our final round, is that right?

0:27.0

We're in our final round, but I feel like the last round I asked multiple questions,

0:30.4

so I'm a little sweaty right now, So maybe we can keep it at that round maybe we can do like ring the bell there you didn't K. Oh me, but we can keep it this. That's debatable

0:45.0

That's okay, okay Mo. Are you sure because it's called five rounds. I have to deliver five rounds of

1:32.4

How does that look like when you reverse engineer something?

1:34.7

Okay, when I hear the word effective, it also sounds a lot like efficient, right? Like you want to make as few missteps and it could be easy to sit there and watch somebody like me do it and say well that seems like the ideal way to do it.

1:49.2

But what we don't get to see is the many times in which I've struggled through trying to figure
