I sure will while I stretch 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:05.760 and get ready. 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.000 This one is we won't call you dipping my toe. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:10.600 This is from ig Hi. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.200 Ladies love your podcast that I look forward to your 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:14.920 show and advice every week. 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:15.560 We love you two. 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:15.839 Girl. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:17.880 I have a question about using LinkedIn. 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.080 I've been a teacher for a long time and finally 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.039 decided to explore a different career path to make more money. 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.319 Good for you, It's time for me to create a 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:32.000 LinkedIn profile. Do I create two profiles, one for each 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.840 career path or do I design the profile toward the 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:39.160 field with higher earning power even though all of my 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.080 experience is in the current field. I don't want my 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.120 current boss to see my LinkedIn profile that promotes me 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:46.280 in a different industry. 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:47.039 Or is that? Okay? 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.960 Thanks for all that you do. You two are fabulous. 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.400 Give me a good Suitay? Who I did a girl 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.240 something like dipping my toe and I had that dipping my. 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:55.880 Toe on LinkedIn. 0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:00.960 Girl, we call you dipping my toe. I love asked 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.240 for that and I anticipated it. Honestly, I have no idea, Mandy, 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.760 this is all you. So what should dip in my toe? 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.520 Can we stop saying to it's one of my Okay, 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.520 what should dip in that? Do? 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:16.240 So? 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:17.440 This is really common. 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.400 People are really afraid of putting up on their like 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.519 giving their current employer any indication that they may be looking. 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.840 And I can understand that, especially if you have like 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.120 an immature boss or manager or like like a retaliation 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.720 kind of vibe at your place where people get like 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.200 you could get punished, You can get demoted if they 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.520 think that maybe you're looking elsewhere. But there are things 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.720 you can do to protect your privacy and still have 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.839 a LinkedIn profile. I don't necessarily think it makes sense 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.399 for you to have two profiles, and the reason is one, 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:52.920 you don't have any It doesn't sound like you have 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.400 any experience in your new field, so what would go 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:59.440 on that profile? And two your I wouldn't look at 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.240 your education right now as a totally separate path. I 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.960 think that there's so many transferable skills from being a teacher. 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.520 You haven't mentioned what you want to do, which leaves 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.880 me a little bit struggling to give you specific advice. 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.280 But I'm leaning towards the side of set up your 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:17.360 professional professional profile with your education background, study the job 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.920 listings for the roles that you want, and really focus 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.720 in on as a teacher, as an educator, any of 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.120 those skills that may be you know, transferable into this 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.560 new industry, and in the meantime, connect with people you know. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.880 You set up your profile, now you start building your 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.920 LinkedIn network. The whole point of LinkedIn beyond just having 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.600 like a digital resume and getting reached out to by 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.000 recruiters is to actually connect with your peers and colleagues 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.640 because you never know who could have a leg up 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.160 or a way in to a new opportunity for you. 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.240 And as a pivoter, it's essential. Like if you are 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.560 wanting to start in a new field, why am I 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.280 doing the joker lip? What happened? 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:00.280 Did I drink some water? 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:01.200 Oh? 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.040 I just got to look at my own lips. 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.720 Look like the why so serious? I fix? 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:11.680 Well happened? 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.440 This is bad promo for VENTI. But it's not you 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:19.839 as me. It's not you as me Rihanna anyway. Okay, 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.919 so if you are so, remember the whole point of 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.080 LinkedIn is to connect, right, So you don't just want 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:28.440 to have a profile. You want to connect with your 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.600 peers and as a career pivoter, entirely essential. I think 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.840 too many career pivoters obsess over resumes and LinkedIn when 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.480 I really want you to put I mean, those are 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.520 just facts. Put up the facts of your work history. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.120 But then focus on how can you start connecting with 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.640 other people and letting them know that you're open to work. 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.080 And this is the part that you're probably like, wait, 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.320 how do I tell them I'm open to work without 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.760 my boss seeing? So you can go on LinkedIn and 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.359 you can turn on your open to work setting. So 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.280 if you go into your profile and you edit it, 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.839 you'll see this. When you're setting it up, there is 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.039 a toggle like a selection for open to work. Now 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.159 you can be open to work privately, which means only 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:11.080 people who are using LinkedIn Recruiter, which is a special 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:15.840 paid version of LinkedIn which recruiters and maybe some hiring 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.880 managers but mostly like HR people will be using they 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.240 can see or open to work, but the general population 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:25.640 of LinkedIn users, including your boss, won't be able to 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:29.400 see that. So that's one way to protect yourself. Another 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.320 thing is you can straight up block whoever you want 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.680 to block on LinkedIn, you know, including your boss or colleagues. 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.200 If that's you know, what you want to do. I 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.240 think that's a relatively safe thing to do, because if 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.720 they're teachers, I mean it's not saying that they may 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.680 not have a connection to a role for you. But 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.520 if you're really worried about retaliation or just cause, like 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.920 making an uncomfortable work environment for yourself, you might just 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.400 want to go ahead, and you know, keep your private, 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.720 keep your profile private to those people. But I definitely 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.200 would say, if you're like pivoting into a new industry, 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.799 which it sounds like you are, you need to start 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:10.880 looking for ways to start upskilling looking for networking opportunities. 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.080 One of my Mandy money makers. Hope she doesn't my 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.039 me shouting her out Warena. I met her. She was 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.040 one of my very first She was in the very 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:24.160 first cohort of makers. School teacher in Virginia or is 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:28.400 it Baltimore, shit, I forget now anyway, school teacher just 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:33.120 like classic school teacher, burned out by the pandemic, you know, 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.279 just dealing with a really really difficult situation, you know, 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:41.159 in a working environment, really not feeling like she was 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.960 on the right path, and really desperately wanted to break 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.720 into tech. And she just and this is I feel 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.960 like a reality, a realistic timeline. She just a couple 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:57.040 of months ago secured her first job in tech in Warena. Yes, 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.039 and Warrena did everything right. You know, she ended up 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.200 switching teaching jobs even as she was on her journey 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.320 to pivoting in tech because she wanted to get out 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.440 of a toxic situation and she ended up getting a 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:12.680 sixteen K raise when she switched. So but even on 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.200 that journey, she went to you know, afro Tech. Afro 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:20.760 Tech has great tech focused conferences in all different cities. 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.720 She would go to those events. She found I feel 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.040 like every other month on LinkedIn Warna would be at 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.360 some sort of women in tech networking event and just 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.920 continuing to tell people I'm an educator now I really 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.120 want to roll in tech and ended up finally breaking 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.800 in so that work the sooner you start that connection work, 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.880 which is the hard part. LinkedIn is easybabes. Don't get 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.760 stuck here, the better, especially if you're pivoting into a 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.480 new role. Hopefully that answers your question. I can't think 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.120 of anything else I missed, but welcome get on LinkedIn. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.280 Yeah, okay, yeah, no, I love to psych you out. 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.240 I think like I think to your point, I think 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.280 a lot of people think LinkedIn is just about someone's 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.760 gonna hire me. But no, I can't tell you how 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.160 many people you know dippin' dot that just hit me 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.720 up after they've heard me speak somewhere and they're like, hey, 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.080 just want to stay connected and see what you're up 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.280 to and and so it's just a really good place 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.520 to just kind of stay connected. And from there, you know, 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.520 oftentimes I've gotten offers to speak or to do something 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.360 else just from just like staying connected and checking in 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.920 on people that I'm connected to on LinkedIn. So don't 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.080 just think of that, like to Mandy's point, you know 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.840 that it's just a tool for someone to hire you. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.760 It's also to connect with other people in the space 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.480 because typically people like to ask other people, do you know. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.440 Someone for this role? Or who might be good at this? 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:43.400 Who might you know? 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.160 That's why I get a lot of my really great people, 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.319 because if someone is great, I hope they know other 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.360 great people too. And the only one to be known 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.000 and know what people are up to is to stay connected. 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.520 So that's my little one too for you, Dippin'd But yes, teacher, 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.760 you know, here's the thing. I'm gonna speak a little 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.080 life until you Dippin' dot. The fact that you're a teacher. 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.160 Just know that means you are. 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.280 A freaking superhero. 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.120 Okay, sis, let me tell you because people always ask me, 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.600 what's the secret?

It would be 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.200 a promotion, and I have most of the required skills 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.760 plus finish my masters in twenty twenty one. Go ahead, girl, 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.400 How can I go about getting the absolute max amount 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.800 of money? Since they that have access to my salary history, FYI, 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.080 the range is up to one hundred and fifty six 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:25.040 K and I'm at one twenty three currently they require 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.040 a salary expectation entry. When I applied, I said one 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.480 fifty just in case they negotiated me down. Let me 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.040 know if you have any tips. Loving everything you're doing. 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.280 Thanks Nelly, this is a good question. 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:40.640 What do I want to start saying? Hot in hair? 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.560 I don't know why. 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.319 Oh no, let's do it. Get again hot in here. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.560 So make sure you get all your coins. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.680 Okay, we negotiate and that doesn't work. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.840 That's abound me. Okay, this is a book. 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:02.640 Delete that anyway. Listen and Nelly, first of all, congratulations, 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.120 because I feel like this is a really exciting opportunity 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.400 and to work at a company where you can apply 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.080 to another department, it's awesome. And I feel like when 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.319 people think about quitting a role for a new opportunity, 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.520 you sometimes think like you have to go outside the company. 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.160 But I'm a huge fan of pivoting in place, Like 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.120 that's what I call it. When you find a growth 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:25.439 opportunity right where you are, and your mindset is really 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.000 important here and this is a thing where you know 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.800 what you make and you're kind of letting that kind 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:30.199 of get to. 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:30.679 You a little bit. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.760 I would treat this new department like another company. So 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.000 anything that you would do if you were interviewing for 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.280 an outside company, I would do, you know, I would 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.600 go in there strong and establish, you know, your credentials 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.000 and how excited you are for the opportunity. You've already 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.400 mentioned a salary, at least it was a sort of 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.520 the top of the range. You mentioned one fifty. I 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:56.880 typically would have said, you know, put you know competitive, 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.280 or put zero or put one dollar or whatever it 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.240 is in the fields that you don't have to necessarily 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.840 name a number. But I think that you should go 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.920 in there definitely expecting to get paid what the value 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.360 of the job is, especially if it is a promotion. 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.800 You have most of the skills, like you said, and 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.319 you now have a master's degree. So if you are 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.280 thinking about the salary that you have now holding you back, 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.880 this is a whole different job. You know, it's a 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:28.280 step up, probably more responsibility. What may help you feel 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.880 more confident going in and asking for your value is 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.920 to find comparable roles at comparable companies. As are the 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.280 two comps. You want to have similar company and a 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.680 similar role, and see what types of salaries they're offering 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.560 as well, and then again think of them as an 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:48.560 outside employer who doesn't necessarily know your current salary, and 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:52.360 negotiate from that space. It's not about what you're earning now, 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:56.080 it's about the market value. Excuse me, It's about the 0:13:56.120 --> 0:14:00.280 market value of a candidate for this specific role that 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.199 you're applying for. So don't go in there thinking one 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.360 twenty three vibes. Think one fifty six. Okay, think hi. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.520 And you also know that you're not probably just making 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.480 one twenty three. You also have to factor in your 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.240 annual bonus on top of that, you know, so don't 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.760 forget that you can still negotiate those types of things 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:22.120 like your annual bonus amount. If they offer you equity 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:26.120 at your company, you should still feel confident negotiating equity 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.360 when you get to that point, like you've just applied 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.640 now and you put in your salary expectation, which is cool. Now, 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.360 the key is everything that's going to happen before the negotiation, 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.640 which is you really want to make them excited to 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.320 hire you. You already know the company, but what other 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.960 strengths do you bring to the table, Like how well 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.400 do you understand the challenges the pain points of the 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.600 team that you're joining. Do you have any connections on 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.120 that team already that you can build on those relationships. 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.000 You want them to think of you as a no brainer, 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:56.920 you know, so that by the time you get to 0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.760 the negotiation or the offer stage, they want you so 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.920 bad that when you come back to them and like, hey, 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.560 one forty is cute, but what about one fifty six, 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.720 that they're like, Okay, we really want Nelly, you know, 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:15.120 so let's make this happen. That's essential for you at 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.960 this point. But before you get there, you got to 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:22.160 get your mindset right around. This is a whole different employer, 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.680 even though it's with the same company, whole different team. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:27.680 You're not in the same role that you have now, 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.480 You're not making one twenty three in this new role, 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:30.600 it's a whole different ballgame. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:31.240 So start to. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.320 Think that way and don't get in your own way. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:34.720 I like that. 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.600 And I'm just like as someone who employees and oftentimes 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:42.640 typically will promote promote from within, you know, I like 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.360 most employees employers are going to want to look within 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.680 if someone is good, because it's like, you don't have 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.680 to learn the company culture. I don't have to like 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.680 kind of talk talk to you about like and teach 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.360 you about what we do here. So know that, like 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.600 that's a benefit, you know, to be able, you know, 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.200 to looking to work internal. But also sometimes the problem 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.240 is is like the prodigal son, right, the person who 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:07.480 leaves and comes back gets like better treatment than the 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.000 person who stayed. So don't be afraid either to like 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.600 be like m it seeming like they you know, they 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.000 treat me like old news. 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:15.120 Maybe I need to be made. 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.640 Kniil again, you know, so if you're needing, if you 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.960 wanted to make more, consider that too. But I just 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:21.520 say this that I have people on my team that 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:24.920 are just so excellent, Like are you bringing obvious excellence 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.240 to the table, not just you're you're doing well, but 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.280 you're visibly doing well. You know, there are people who 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.360 like even now, there's a woman on one of my 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.239 teams that I want to bring on over to the Bunjanista. 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.600 She's on the Literature Academy team.

Yeah. I talked 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.359 to a coaching client this morning, all the way in Australia, 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.880 shout out to to Nicole. It was ten thirty her time, 0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.280 ten thirty am my time, and she's going through a 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:42.240 similar thing. She's applying for a senior role at her company, 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:48.439 and I had to remind her how incredibly beneficial it 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.639 is that people already know her like she has brand 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:55.320 recognition exactly where she is, and she I feel like 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:59.040 sometimes we take ourselves for granted at work and we 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.520 forget like the we don't or no one tells us. 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.840 But there's so much value in having a great reputation 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:08.679 colleagues wanting to work with you. That, plus you can 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.639 teach skills, you can teach how to do this, how 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.160 to do that to a certain extent. Right, So if 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:15.480 you're meeting most of the qualifications not all of them, 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.240 and people know and love you and will vouch for you, 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:22.600 and you know endorse you, that is so key, and 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.639 that gives you such a huge advantage over external candidates. 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.359 So yeah, it's just about building your own confidence, Nelly, 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.120 in that you have a lot going for you already 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.879 understanding the inner workings of this company. And even though 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:36.840 I want to know like twelve thousand more things about 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:40.639 the situation, I just want you to go in again 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:44.960
