I don't know how much debt, Mark, you got into.
15:00
Well, I was unfortunate.
15:01
I...
15:02
Just missed the final year where it was a grant where everyone got to go for free.
15:07
So I did have to take out a student loan.
15:09
So that was a bit painful because there were even people on the course like two years above, I think, who were still there completely on the house.
15:17
Um, so that created a little bit when I looked at my bank balance and how much I was sort of like, um, yeah, bringing in, but I'll tell you what actually helped because it went a long way at the time was when I, I was at uni, I actually managed to start working for capital gold, um, in a. in a nice quirk of fate because as i say adam leventhal was uh on the course and i'll always be forever grateful to him because he got there and i was like i know your name because i listen to capital gold all the time and i was like and you're actually on the course with me that seems mad because i thought that you were like you know a professional so you didn't need to go to uni but He'd started even younger at Capital and I was like, look, I don't want to like pest you, but like if there's ever an opening at Capital, I'd be, you know, mad to get involved and stuff.
