13:43
And it's time for me to think about what might be next and start planning in that way for all of my changes.
13:52
So again, I was a broadcast journalist, undergrad, graduated.
13:55
And I thought, I don't know that this is really the career for me for different reasons.
13:59
So I'm like, okay, what can outside do? And then I happened into investor relations and that's not something everybody went to school for, right? So it's like another little niche thing that I found my way into.

How are you getting into that realm and stepping down that path?
