Let's put it that way.
6:34
There's a story that I can tell you without actually naming the company or the individual.
6:39
But this is a story which repeats itself all the time.
6:42
Even the day before yesterday, the same story came up and it comes up all the time.
6:46
where you get engaged by a founder or a management team and a company to advise them.
6:52
And they're trying to do something.
6:54
Maybe they're trying to raise capital, maybe they're trying to acquire a company, maybe they're trying to take on a strategic partnership.

As soon as you are a master, you know how to do it and things just come to your way.
26:09
Mm-hmm.
26:10
So typically you're a one, two-man, uh, woman person driving this business.
26:16
At some point you get tired.
26:18
The founder gets distressed, not the business necessarily, but that then plays with each other.
26:23
And, uh, usually this happens in every 10, 15, 12 years.
26:29
There's a cycle where tiredness creeps in, other opportunities come in.
26:33
Life cycle, your own life changes.
30:21
Mm.
