So for Ashley, um, to react a little bit to what Miriam said, and you brought up an excellent point when it came to the importance of networking, but I'm hoping to expand on that and why you believe programs like the 15 Under 40 are important for developing future industry leaders and inspiring others early in their careers.
13:05
Yeah.
13:06
I think my answer here is going to echo a lot of what Miriam has already said.
13:11
I am a huge believer that recognition is extremely powerful, especially early on in someone's career.
13:19
Like Miriam said, it felt really validating.
13:22
And I think in a career where people do stay for a long time and where there's all of this knowledge, to have somebody look at you, whether it's a manager or a colleague or a take the time to nominate you.
13:38
for them to see that you are making a contribution, for them to recognize it and say, hey, this is someone worth investing in.
15:39
who may be considering a nomination for 2027 and that why should they carve out time and what would you say to them to encourage them to submit one?
