[01:18:56] The talent, the experiences here.
[01:18:58] I would just say, a lot of your therapists
[01:19:01] have been through some stuff themselves
[01:19:03] and so they’re in that seat because they have been
[01:19:07] on that other side.
[01:19:09] just so you know, right?
[01:19:11] I know sometimes people are like, oh, you don’t know me,
[01:19:14] you don’t understand what I’m going through.
[01:19:16] They don’t understand exactly what you’re going through,
[01:19:19] but they have been through some things that are very similar
[01:19:22] and they’ve crawled out of it.
[01:19:24] So round of applause for your workers, your therapists,
[01:19:30] your mental health professionals, your military personnel.
