[14:16] "And there's a lot of drama, and I was the head of engineering and product. So I needed to convince my co-founders, and some of the people didn't believe in so they tried to fire me to go to the board, and there was a lot of drama happening. But after that we grew from 50 million ARR to 100 million. So I'm glad we did that change."

[19:12] "I would say, commit 10 years, right? When we started the company, there were many startups in the same category, someone could pop out from stamp board, those engineering group who came out from Google started singing a product. Meta Microsoft music. After 10 years, we're the only ones who survived. Right? We listened to the customer. We had grit, right? So we just keep going."

[16:45] "I've had that same experience, where you just need the right person at the right time, sometimes they maybe have been the right person, but at the wrong time for your business growth cycle. And it can be a disaster. And I've done that as well. It's frustrating because you think they'll be so perfect, and it doesn't work out."

[19:57] "Just stay committed. And have that grit and know your customer."
