[00:19] SPEAKER_01: Part of the Canada's podcast network, your source for great insights from entrepreneurs
[00:23] SPEAKER_01: from across Canada.
[00:25] SPEAKER_01: We talked entrepreneurs who are making it happen here so you can listen, discover and engage.
[00:32] SPEAKER_02: Hi, this is Angela Barnard, kind to you from the network hub in the NIMO with BC
[00:38] SPEAKER_02: Entrepreneur Rakesh Soni.
[00:41] SPEAKER_02: Let me tell you a little bit about him.
[00:43] SPEAKER_02: Over the last five years, he's been instrumental in growing login radius from a tech startup
[00:48] SPEAKER_02: to an industry leader in the digital identity space, occurring over one billion, yes,
[00:54] SPEAKER_02: billion, user identities worldwide.
[00:57] SPEAKER_02: He's raised about 20 million of funding from Microsoft's M12, 4-point capital, real ventures
[01:04] SPEAKER_02: and more.
[01:06] SPEAKER_02: And why it's relevant is as our lives become more digitized, Rakesh aims to improve online
[01:11] SPEAKER_02: experiences and provide cybersecurity for every internet user.
[01:16] SPEAKER_02: He angles business development strategies to improve trust between customers and businesses
[01:23] SPEAKER_02: by creating solutions in online security and privacy along with high performance online
[01:29] SPEAKER_02: experiences.
[01:30] SPEAKER_02: So ultimately, Rakesh wants to protect digital identities around the world, whether they're
[01:36] SPEAKER_02: freezing in Canada or surfing in Australia.
[01:39] SPEAKER_02: First of all, Rakesh, welcome.
[01:41] SPEAKER_02: You are here sitting in Vancouver with us today, right?
[01:44] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, thanks for being here.
[01:46] SPEAKER_02: So let's just kick it off.
[01:48] SPEAKER_02: Tell me a little bit about your entrepreneurial journey.
[01:51] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I came to Canada, I've been 13, 14 years as a student and I love this country,
[01:59] SPEAKER_00: enjoy my student life here and then always wanted to get into business and innovation and
[02:05] SPEAKER_00: being an engineer.
[02:07] SPEAKER_00: Tech is what I love.
[02:10] SPEAKER_00: And back in 2012, I along with my co-founder started this evening project called Login
[02:19] SPEAKER_00: Radius and then it kind of become a company in 2013 and we quit our job.
[02:25] SPEAKER_00: And since then, we have been trying to build this business to help, you know, internet
[02:30] SPEAKER_00: user to have a better experience and a better security and better privacy.
[02:35] SPEAKER_00: Perfect.
[02:36] SPEAKER_02: When we talked a little bit about where your business is located, can you share with us?
[02:43] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so we had quarter here in Vancouver with offices in Toronto.
[02:49] SPEAKER_00: On Ontario as well as we have two offices in India, one of my hometown, Jappur and also
[02:57] SPEAKER_00: Hyderabad, another text city in India.
[03:00] SPEAKER_00: Plus we have some regional, small offices in various countries as well.
[03:06] SPEAKER_02: And yet most of the actual business transactions are where?
[03:10] SPEAKER_00: Most of our clients out there more than 90% of them are outside Canada.
[03:17] SPEAKER_00: Okay.
[03:17] SPEAKER_00: So we are pretty spread globally.
[03:20] SPEAKER_00: Heavenly North America, US Canada, Europe, APAC reasons are where we are getting significant,
[03:26] SPEAKER_00: you know, adoption of our technology.
[03:29] SPEAKER_02: Any challenges in being based in Canada, but with all your global clients in US, UK,
[03:34] SPEAKER_02: international?
[03:36] SPEAKER_00: Being in Canada, I think, is pretty good.
[03:38] SPEAKER_00: There's no specific challenge from location point of view.
[03:42] SPEAKER_00: It's pretty close to Silicon Valley from Vancouver so they're pretty solid connectivity
[03:46] SPEAKER_00: and cruise available connectivity.
[03:48] SPEAKER_00: Time zone wise is pretty good as well.
[03:51] SPEAKER_00: With our office in India, we are able to cover our clients 24-7.
[03:55] SPEAKER_00: So that way we can complement each other.
[03:57] SPEAKER_00: But the only kind of challenge I see is that our tech ecosystem is Nord-Ed strong
[04:04] SPEAKER_00: as some other ecosystems in the world.
[04:07] SPEAKER_00: So getting those senior talent, you know, taking company to the next level is always challenging.
[04:13] SPEAKER_02: What do you think are the biggest gaps here in BC right now?
[04:16] SPEAKER_00: I would say the biggest gap I see Angie is around the senior talent.
[04:21] SPEAKER_00: Okay.
[04:21] SPEAKER_00: The people who have already done that and have scaled the company to hundreds of millions
[04:27] SPEAKER_00: of revenue, come people who took the companies to public, they're very, very handful of such
[04:32] SPEAKER_00: examples we have.
[04:34] SPEAKER_00: And that means we did not produce enough talent on that sector.
[04:37] SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, Vancouver is a great city to attract talent though.
[04:41] SPEAKER_00: I would still like to have a great lifestyle city.
[04:44] Speaker UNKNOWN:
[04:45] SPEAKER_02: What do you think is the best strategy for you guys?
[04:47] SPEAKER_02: Do you think it'll be growing that senior talent from within or do you think it'll be hiring
[04:51] SPEAKER_02: from around the world?
[04:52] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we always prefer to, you know, dollar talent internally and we have done it in
[04:58] SPEAKER_00: past.
[04:59] SPEAKER_00: However, we are always trying to see if we can bring more senior talent, you know, in Vancouver
[05:04] SPEAKER_00: from outside.
[05:06] SPEAKER_00: We are pure tech company because of that people can actually work remotely and they can
[05:12] SPEAKER_00: still contribute.
[05:13] Speaker UNKNOWN:
[05:13] SPEAKER_00: So we are continuing investing or figuring out that better way to work remotely with our
[05:19] SPEAKER_00: team.
[05:20] Speaker UNKNOWN:
[05:20] SPEAKER_00: And, you know, and that's why we have more and more spread workforce now.
[05:24] SPEAKER_00: And with that, I think our access to talent would be easier.
[05:27] SPEAKER_02: One thing I'm intrigued about and I think, you know, we hear tech companies, but can you
[05:33] SPEAKER_02: give me an idea of what you actually do?
[05:35] SPEAKER_02: Like are you, you're programming and what, what is the function that you serve for your
[05:40] SPEAKER_02: B2B and mostly B2B?
[05:41] SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
[05:42] SPEAKER_00: So we are an enterprise software service in a platform.
[05:47] SPEAKER_00: And what we do is, you know, we manage login function on websites and mobile app and
[05:55] SPEAKER_00: everything around login.
[05:57] SPEAKER_00: So let's say you are a consumer, you go to the website, whether it's a news or travel
[06:02] SPEAKER_00: or wherever you go or even in your bank, you need to sign up, you need to clear an account,
[06:08] SPEAKER_00: then you need to log in and then you finally log out.
[06:12] SPEAKER_00: So businesses need to manage your digital identity at their end.
[06:16] SPEAKER_00: And then our software, fundamentally manage the whole login experience, you know, whether
[06:21] SPEAKER_00: it's a sign up to email notifications, identity verifications to, you know, authentication
[06:27] SPEAKER_00: is to single sign on to securing the account, securing the data, managing the data in the
[06:33] SPEAKER_00: back end, ensuring the privacy regulations are in place.
[06:37] SPEAKER_00: Pretty much anything you can think around login.
[06:40] SPEAKER_00: And that's how we came up with the name login radius, by the way.
[06:43] SPEAKER_00: We put login at the center and everything around login here, the radius and our region
[06:49] SPEAKER_00: is how we can take spending the radius to grow this business and start over the more
[06:54] SPEAKER_00: more clients.
[06:55] SPEAKER_02: Love it.
[06:56] SPEAKER_02: Love it.
[06:56] SPEAKER_02: Now, here's, this is a bit of an assumption here, but are most of your clients enterprise
[07:00] SPEAKER_02: level, sort of, you know, that, you know, Fortune 500 companies are big, big companies?
[07:05] SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
[07:05] SPEAKER_00: I mean, when we started the company, we were targeting a lot of SMBs and then mid market
[07:11] SPEAKER_00: and then, you know, enterprise.
[07:12] SPEAKER_00: So we do have clients in all these segments.
[07:14] SPEAKER_00: Whatever platform is primarily the modern version we have as of today is primarily designed
[07:21] SPEAKER_00: to serve, you know, global, you know, 2000 sort of companies, the big companies.
[07:27] SPEAKER_00: However, we have a stripped down smaller versions as well, SMB and mid market, which we serve
[07:33] SPEAKER_00: as well.
[07:33] SPEAKER_00: Cool.
[07:34] SPEAKER_02: So you do have that sort of small business market or product for that market as well.
[07:40] SPEAKER_02: Really you're the best person to talk to.
[07:42] SPEAKER_02: So I would redirect people to you.
[07:44] SPEAKER_02: Talk to me about what fuels your passion.
[07:47] SPEAKER_02: What gets your juices going every day, refresh to love what you do?
[07:53] SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
[07:54] SPEAKER_00: So what really excites me or even I get up every morning, right?
[07:58] SPEAKER_00: Is that, you know, these consumers, like, you know, when we go to internet and nowadays
[08:04] SPEAKER_00: a lot of people spend so much time on internet and then we always go through their frustration
[08:09] SPEAKER_00: around bad experience, right?
[08:11] SPEAKER_00: And then if we, if my account is breached, then if you wouldn't become a nightmare for
[08:17] SPEAKER_00: me for days and even months, you know, my privacy and my information, people might get into
[08:23] SPEAKER_00: my financial, you know, accounts and so on.
[08:27] SPEAKER_00: So my, you know, my mind and rest of the team's excitement is on how we make, you know,
[08:34] SPEAKER_00: that experience great for these, but how we can remove that day-to-day frustration on
[08:39] SPEAKER_00: internet and how we secure those account and data and privacy so that we give the peace
[08:44] SPEAKER_00: of mind to those hundreds of millions of people.
[08:47] SPEAKER_00: Currently, we have 100, how would a billion identities of people using our God for
[08:51] SPEAKER_00: Wow.
[08:52] SPEAKER_00: Injectly, you know, with the, or 4.5, or 5 billion, in turn, it is a population and each
[08:58] SPEAKER_00: probably have like a 10, 20 accounts.
[09:00] SPEAKER_00: There's over 100 billion digital identities even more.
[09:05] SPEAKER_00: So how can I penetrate into that and help, you know, make internet.
[09:09] SPEAKER_00: A better place.
[09:10] SPEAKER_00: How are you going to?
[09:12] SPEAKER_00: Well, we are, you know, waiting for a technology to ensure that we really meet the more
[09:18] SPEAKER_00: and challenge around experience, security and privacy.
[09:21] SPEAKER_00: And then with the infused capital from our investors like Microsoft's, M12, 4.0, we are
[09:29] SPEAKER_00: continuing to build the solid team together and trying to distribute this technology and
[09:33] SPEAKER_00: make, you know, awareness of this technology to the bigger audience.
[09:38] SPEAKER_00: And that we, I think we will able to penetrate more and more of internet populations to our
[09:44] SPEAKER_00: inner customers.
[09:46] SPEAKER_02: Okay.
[09:46] SPEAKER_02: What do you think are the trends over the next decade that people in the tech sector
[09:51] SPEAKER_02: should be mindful of and maybe, I mean, you're kind of in the security industry.
[09:56] SPEAKER_02: What, what should we be aware of that we should prepare for?
[10:00] SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
[10:01] SPEAKER_00: So the biggest trend which is already going on and it's going to get you on, you know,
[10:05] SPEAKER_00: better or maybe worse for some companies who don't follow it is the experience.
[10:12] SPEAKER_00: So the modern consumers are very well connected.
[10:16] SPEAKER_00: You know, they want things on demand.
[10:18] SPEAKER_00: You know, they want this amazing personalized experience.
[10:21] SPEAKER_00: They are not here to wait for, you know, minutes and even like more than even five seconds.
[10:26] SPEAKER_00: Like I remember in early 2000, when I was in India, we had dialed bad connections, right?
[10:31] SPEAKER_00: I was working waiting for the web page.
[10:33] SPEAKER_00: When you hear the little, the background.
[10:36] SPEAKER_00: So I was okay waiting for my email to load in like three minutes.
[10:41] SPEAKER_00: That was amazing those days.
[10:43] SPEAKER_00: But when I go to internet or when you look at the younger population, right, they barely
[10:47] SPEAKER_00: have like a three to five seconds.
[10:49] SPEAKER_00: We did that time.
[10:50] SPEAKER_00: They won that experience and service and write information in front of them.
[10:55] SPEAKER_00: For example, companies like Google, they are done it when you type a little bit of
[10:58] SPEAKER_00: something and the Google automatically suggests it and like it is exactly what I was looking
[11:02] SPEAKER_00: for.
[11:03] SPEAKER_00: So most of the internet population is getting programmed to have that expectation of that
[11:09] SPEAKER_00: more than experience.
[11:11] SPEAKER_00: But the brands and businesses are way behind it.
[11:14] SPEAKER_00: And that's the biggest trend the businesses need to do.
[11:17] SPEAKER_00: And not only businesses, even like a pub sector like municipality.
[11:21] SPEAKER_00: You know, I found out I'm paying my parking fine.
[11:23] SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to go to your office between nine to five.
[11:25] SPEAKER_00: I want to pay whenever I want, maybe Saturday night.
[11:28] SPEAKER_00: So governments to healthcare to banks to media and so on.
[11:33] SPEAKER_00: These modern consumers are very different and the companies need to really understand
[11:37] SPEAKER_00: this.
[11:37] SPEAKER_00: That's the one big trend.
[11:39] SPEAKER_00: And second trend is that how consumers interact with the brands is already evolving.
[11:46] SPEAKER_00: You know, start with the computer.
[11:48] SPEAKER_00: Then it's a mobile phone and now you see the adoption of smart speakers.
[11:52] SPEAKER_00: Smart speaker is getting pretty much everywhere and people want to interact with you through
[11:57] SPEAKER_00: voice.
[11:58] SPEAKER_00: There's no more screen.
[11:59] SPEAKER_00: And in the future, there are more interfaces will come in next day, 10 or 15 years and
[12:05] SPEAKER_00: companies and people need to really understand how they were so their customers through
[12:09] SPEAKER_00: these new media.
[12:10] SPEAKER_00: And that's another big trend, you know, coming up.
[12:13] SPEAKER_02: I'm going to be honest.
[12:14] SPEAKER_02: I don't even know how that works.
[12:16] SPEAKER_02: Right?
[12:18] SPEAKER_02: We're going to lose screens and it's going to be voice.
[12:20] SPEAKER_02: I can't imagine.
[12:21] SPEAKER_02: We'll get you at an event at some point with Canada's podcast and you can share maybe
[12:26] SPEAKER_02: what we need to know and what technical skills we need to know to get there.
[12:30] SPEAKER_02: But let's talk a little bit about what's your ask actually with your company right now.
[12:35] SPEAKER_02: If you've got something in the next six months that you really need to achieve with our
[12:40] SPEAKER_02: market capital talent, what do you need right now?
[12:43] SPEAKER_02: How can people help?
[12:45] SPEAKER_00: We're always growing young companies.
[12:48] SPEAKER_00: So we pretty much need all aspects where there's customers always looking to hire more
[12:53] SPEAKER_00: talent in the company.
[12:55] SPEAKER_00: So we're biggest ask is, you know, anybody who, you know, would like to improve the
[13:00] SPEAKER_00: experience security and privacy for the consumers, love to kind of talk about our technology
[13:05] SPEAKER_00: and how we can help always looking for talent to continue, you know, support our growth.
[13:12] SPEAKER_00: And then we also looking for strong partners who can work closely with us to, you know,
[13:18] SPEAKER_00: increase the adoption of our technology.
[13:20] SPEAKER_02: And who can you describe a great partner?
[13:23] SPEAKER_02: What would be a good, strategic partner?
[13:25] SPEAKER_00: The partners could be most of the service companies out in the market, tech consulting
[13:30] SPEAKER_00: firms, the companies who work in cybersecurity or companies who work on digital transformations.
[13:38] SPEAKER_00: Their clients fundamentally need a digital identity platform to provide their experience.
[13:44] SPEAKER_02: Perfect. Awesome.
[13:45] SPEAKER_02: Let's switch text a little bit and talk about where you work and how you work.
[13:50] SPEAKER_02: Can you describe a day in the life of your cash?
[13:53] SPEAKER_00: Yes, I work here in our headquarters mainly, but definitely traveling a lot here and there.
[13:59] SPEAKER_00: You know, I usually start my work around 7 o'clock in the morning.
[14:04] SPEAKER_00: So usually spend 15, 20 minutes morning to risk and my calendar and emails, anything
[14:10] SPEAKER_00: particularly I need to address.
[14:12] SPEAKER_00: I'll just catch up on those things and then get ready and get to office by 8 a.m.
[14:18] SPEAKER_00: That's where to get target.
[14:20] SPEAKER_00: I'll be working distance from office and that's how I always see it.
[14:23] SPEAKER_00: Lovely.
[14:24] SPEAKER_00: I hate, I mean, I love transit to some extent, but I hate wasting, you know, two hours of my time,
[14:29] SPEAKER_02: exactly.
[14:30] SPEAKER_00: So I get close to my office and from 8 a.m. you know, to 6 p.m. or 6.30, I usually stay in the office.
[14:38] SPEAKER_00: And you know, a lot of you know, meetings that's what usually happens more than anything nowadays.
[14:43] SPEAKER_00: You know, sometimes some interviews, strategic discussions and so on.
[14:48] SPEAKER_00: And you know, I usually have a lunch at office as well.
[14:51] SPEAKER_00: Be quiet, you know, breakfast.
[14:53] SPEAKER_00: I usually also breakfast in the office.
[14:55] SPEAKER_00: And you know, pretty much stays in the, I stayed in the office from 8 to 6 before I leave for all.
[15:02] SPEAKER_02: And where do you go?
[15:03] SPEAKER_02: What do you do for recreation, inspiration?
[15:07] SPEAKER_02: Can you think of another cool spot that you'd like to go that fuels you?
[15:11] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I do a little bit of, you know, running.
[15:16] SPEAKER_00: So I usually like to run every day, three to five kilometers or in 10 to 12 kilometers sometimes too.
[15:22] SPEAKER_00: So that keeps me, you know, my brain fresh every day.
[15:28] SPEAKER_00: And then I do quite a bit of books reading.
[15:32] SPEAKER_00: I mean, I definitely spend a lot of time on the internet as well.
[15:35] SPEAKER_00: Kind of getting up to speed or what's happening in the world and texting particularly.
[15:40] SPEAKER_00: But I do read a lot of books and that's where I get my inspirations and
[15:44] SPEAKER_00: you know, in order for myself learning happens through those books.
[15:48] SPEAKER_00: I try to read not a lot, but probably 30 to 40 books a year.
[15:53] SPEAKER_00: That's where I try to target.
[15:54] SPEAKER_02: That's quite a bit.
[15:55] SPEAKER_02: How do you do?
[15:56] SPEAKER_02: Is it you're actually old school paperback or you?
[15:58] SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I prefer paperback.
[16:00] SPEAKER_00: I prefer paperback.
[16:01] SPEAKER_00: With the traveling, what happens is like I keep books.
[16:03] SPEAKER_00: So and it's like a four hour flight to Toronto.
[16:05] SPEAKER_00: Then I try to read a lot.
[16:08] SPEAKER_00: But I also have a thumb rule.
[16:10] SPEAKER_00: You're reading it on 2025 pages a day.
[16:13] SPEAKER_00: So I'm trying to be as disciplined as possible.
[16:15] SPEAKER_00: And then a couple of tricks can help me get there.
[16:19] SPEAKER_02: Now your office is actually physically right downtown Vancouver, is that right?
[16:22] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we are next to the front station.
[16:25] SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's not half I think or two blocks.
[16:27] SPEAKER_00: Right downtown.
[16:28] SPEAKER_02: So you're living and working right downtown Vancouver.
[16:30] SPEAKER_00: I'm just glad you just viewed to North Van and
[16:33] SPEAKER_00: you know seeing the sea plane landing and taking off.
[16:36] SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
[16:37] SPEAKER_02: And so obviously you're running close to there on the harbor front.
[16:40] SPEAKER_02: Things like that.
[16:41] SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
[16:42] SPEAKER_02: So a little bit of you talked about you do a lot of reading.
[16:45] SPEAKER_02: You have a lot of inspirations.
[16:47] SPEAKER_02: Let's have some fun with some rapid-fire questions.
[16:50] SPEAKER_02: Do you have an inspirational quote on your computer or your wall or something that
[16:54] SPEAKER_02: is a bit of a mantra or something that sticks?
[16:57] SPEAKER_00: Oh, I am a lot of them.
[16:58] SPEAKER_00: But I think on my laptop I have two.
[17:00] SPEAKER_00: Get shit done.
[17:05] SPEAKER_00: And the second is you know sales goes up and down.
[17:10] SPEAKER_00: But you know, service remains forever.
[17:13] SPEAKER_00: So we can't really care about our customers.
[17:17] SPEAKER_00: The other one tries like you know, service is you know,
[17:20] SPEAKER_00: very, very important.
[17:21] SPEAKER_00: We don't want that to be done.
[17:23] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
[17:24] SPEAKER_02: How about, I mean obviously with 30 to 40 books a year,
[17:28] SPEAKER_02: it's probably hard to pick one or two.
[17:29] SPEAKER_02: But could you could you give us one essential reading that you'd love to
[17:33] SPEAKER_02: recommend to listeners?
[17:37] SPEAKER_00: Um, I mean I need all sort of books.
[17:40] SPEAKER_00: So history, psychology, do on comfort your
[17:43] SPEAKER_00: safety sales and stuff like that.
[17:46] SPEAKER_00: I like one of the book I read I don't know year and a half ago,
[17:51] SPEAKER_00: pitch anything.
[17:52] SPEAKER_00: That was a really good book on how you kind of communicate and you know,
[17:57] SPEAKER_00: present your ideas and tell your story to the audience.
[18:01] SPEAKER_00: No audience but more than one-on-one meetings.
[18:03] SPEAKER_00: So I thought it very, very helpful book.
[18:07] SPEAKER_02: Who is your most influential mentor?
[18:09] SPEAKER_00: I have a coach, but that's only like recently.
[18:14] SPEAKER_00: But usually some of my close friends and my co-founder
[18:20] SPEAKER_00: are constantly talking and bouncing ideas.
[18:23] SPEAKER_00: Some of my board members,
[18:25] SPEAKER_00: so you have a board?
[18:27] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we have a board of directors.
[18:28] SPEAKER_00: So I you know, bounce out of ideas, they quite a lot of mentorship,
[18:32] SPEAKER_00: share ideas.
[18:33] SPEAKER_00: Like my board all together probably managing 150 companies in the portfolio.
[18:39] SPEAKER_00: So they bring a lot of those learnings to me.
[18:42] SPEAKER_02: Well, and I'm a little bit curious about your board of directors.
[18:45] SPEAKER_02: How did you find them?
[18:46] SPEAKER_02: How did you point them?
[18:48] SPEAKER_02: What's their interest in skin in the game with you?
[18:51] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so most of them are our investors at the same time.
[18:55] SPEAKER_00: So as we work together,
[18:57] SPEAKER_00: they found us, you know, as an exciting opportunity to invest in partner with us
[19:02] SPEAKER_00: and with that partnership, we brought them as a board member so that they can,
[19:06] SPEAKER_00: you know, share their knowledge and experience with us and help.
[19:08] SPEAKER_00: And help us build the company.
[19:11] SPEAKER_02: What is on your bucket list to achieve in the next 12 months,
[19:15] SPEAKER_02: personally or travel wise?
[19:20] SPEAKER_00: Personally, I wanted to run a full marathon,
[19:24] SPEAKER_00: you know, haven't done yet.
[19:25] SPEAKER_00: So that's one of the big ones I want to get done, hopefully.
[19:28] SPEAKER_00: The this summer is almost over here, so maybe next year,
[19:32] SPEAKER_00: as a one big, you know, and then our travel,
[19:36] SPEAKER_00: probably we're going to spend a couple more weeks in Europe.
[19:39] SPEAKER_00: So let's see, next time we might end up doing that.
[19:42] SPEAKER_00: These are the two personal short-term items.
[19:47] SPEAKER_00: Perfect.
[19:48] SPEAKER_02: One of our fun questions with Ken as his podcast is to say, listen,
[19:51] SPEAKER_02: if you were abandoned on a remote island with no technology and no way of connecting with the
[19:58] SPEAKER_02: world, you could make one phone call, you know, when you were done for somebody to come pick you up.
[20:04] SPEAKER_02: How long would you last on this island and what would you do there?
[20:07] SPEAKER_00: How long will last?
[20:09] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, a few days.
[20:11] SPEAKER_00: But as long as there's food right to the world.
[20:15] Speaker UNKNOWN: So true.
[20:17] SPEAKER_00: I think I can last, I think I can last a long, long, long.
[20:21] SPEAKER_00: I mean, I love people and all those things, but from last important view,
[20:27] SPEAKER_00: I also kind of get maybe in writing and I join nature a lot as well.
[20:34] SPEAKER_00: I don't know, maybe, maybe six months, 12 months.
[20:38] SPEAKER_02: Wow, that's the longest anybody said that's fantastic.
[20:41] SPEAKER_00: But I think beyond that is my behind, I need somebody to take action after that.
[20:46] SPEAKER_02: Before you start talking to balls, yeah.
[20:49] SPEAKER_02: Excellent. Is there anything you'd like to add for today?
[20:52] SPEAKER_00: No, I don't know any particular thing I need to say.
[20:56] SPEAKER_02: And how can we connect with you? What's the best way of connecting with you after today?
[21:01] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I usually connect with people on LinkedIn.
[21:06] SPEAKER_00: So I've got a good research.
[21:07] SPEAKER_00: My name is Logan Various.
[21:09] SPEAKER_00: They should be able to find me.
