Where do you start with health and safety with someone like me?
5:55
So I'd say making sure that we've got a backbone there.
5:56
So things like health and safety policies.
5:58
Documentation is key, but that absolutely isn't the be all and end all.
6:02
We've got to make sure that although we have the processes, procedures, the risk assessments, your policies in place, it's all about, well, how's that passed over to the team? How are the team informed of ways that they can keep themselves safe and the control measures? So it's not just about having it on paper.
6:19
It's about, well, what does that mean? How does that translate to the team and how do they actively put in place, I guess, kind of live, eat and breathe it on a kind of day to day? Because that's what's going to keep people safe.
6:31
It's not just having a folder full of documents.
11:06
How do you manage that?
7:20
I'm gonna build it myself." Why did you make that decision?
7:23
Well, I think, um, I love people.
7:27
Like, I'm very extroverted.
7:29
But the worst part about business is people.
7:32
Um, you know, if you think about using a-- Let's use a screenwriting analogy.
7:36
So in Hollywood, there's all these brilliant screenwriters, and they write these incredible scripts.
7:41
And so they have this idea, and they know where they want it to go, right? So let's say they start here and they want it to go here.

Yeah.
58:49
Mm-hmm.
58:51
So now teaching kids how to code is like teaching kids Basic, and we have a GUI, right? You don't need to learn punch cards and Basic programming because, or MS-DOS because we all have keyboards and mice.
59:03
We don't have to do that.
59:05
And I feel like coding has really gone away because of that, and I think now people are saying people need to learn how to prompt, which I think is very true for the tool set right now.
59:18
But I don't know how relevant that is in the future because I think we're still, again, in the Palm Trio phase.
59:25
I think that the AIs will be very good at eliciting what the actual problem you're trying to solve is and reinterpreting it in a way that it can optimize the query to get the right answer and solve the problem.
59:38
And so I think the fundamental question is, do all jobs just become a single prompt? So, for example, does a CEO just become, uh, grow the business while making the customers happy and turning a profit or, or something like that, and it is able to actually be an om- omniscient presence that can run a whole company? Now, that's a big...

What can you share? What have you learned about just what it actually takes to be happy that you think people are still not really recognizing and still kind of are confused about?
14:32
You couldn't do that a few years ago.
14:33
You know, it's interesting, um, I got to have dinner with Charlie Munger, like, for the first time, like six years ago.
14:41
And, you know, he's, like, at the time he was, like, 97, and we would, we would be talking about all these different ideas for investments and stuff, and he would always just say, like, "It's hard.
14:52
Investing is hard." And I was kind of like, you know, it was like, uh, 2018 or whatever.
14:59
Like, I was at my peak in terms of, like, you know, no one else was doing what we were doing.
15:03
We were just, like, on a buying frenzy.
15:05
We're, you know, valuations are great.

That's right.
