4:38
Yeah, absolutely.
4:39
I mean, 22,000, it's a big number.

Everybody knows a mortgage broker.

What makes me better than someone else? And yes, of course, I think I'm good at my job and I'll answer the phone when they call me.

And so for SME firm owners who are listening to this, who obviously want to bolster their firm's business prospects and viability moving into the future, and then, of course, be able to invest into the property market, how can or should they be viewing this collaboration or partnership that Trailblazer Finance and Legal Home Loans has? Should they be viewing you guys as sort of separate entities and they'll go to Ian first and then Andrew, they'll go to you guys? Or is it
