You've launched that.
29:45
Yeah, I think that for us, when we were thinking about what it meant to have more than a land acknowledgement, it was that when we say we're a guest here where we live, it's not about just saying that and then moving on.
29:58
It's about saying that and then thinking about what we can do to provide a positive contribution and be a good guest and act as a guest.

And so what that means for us and what we can tangibly do with this project is, well, if there are people in our community who feel that they would like to be involved in any aspect of making a magazine, whether that's photography or production or writing or... any other thing that they can think of that they think is exciting about what we do, then we can hopefully provide some knowledge and education and remove any potential barriers there would be to someone who would be interested in that who might not know how to go about that otherwise.
30:32
So it was kind of important to us to open those doors and we'll see how it takes shape as time goes on.
30:37
But it was just also something that really excited us to say like, well, who else, you know, I mean, the whole thing from the beginning is who else can be involved and how can we expand our circles beyond the people that we know and the projects that we know about.
30:48
And even just in the first issue, it's already kind of opened our eyes to things that just make us excited to keep doing it.

Is that kind of taking it a little slower?
