82 00:08:42.580 ⇒ 00:08:46.200 Uttam Kumaran: you know, I’ve talked to you a lot about how like, I think we’re evolving. And
83 00:08:46.520 ⇒ 00:08:49.880 Uttam Kumaran: I I don’t know. I just read a lot about
84 00:08:50.210 ⇒ 00:08:55.050 Uttam Kumaran: running these types of businesses. And like, How do we evolve to the next stage.
85 00:08:55.100 ⇒ 00:08:58.179 Uttam Kumaran: and sometimes, like the hardest thing to do is
86 00:08:58.300 ⇒ 00:09:03.230 Uttam Kumaran: the like. The thing that’s staring in your face is the thing that you need to do that. You kind of avoid
87 00:09:03.950 ⇒ 00:09:15.740 Uttam Kumaran: it has been. I think I’ve been good at giving up a lot, but I have to actually do that, not in an effort to do less work, but actually to go do the more productive work. And we’re gonna have hiccups and things like that. But I think.
88 00:09:15.740 ⇒ 00:09:16.890 Nicolas Sucari: Yeah, of course.
