[00:00:12] Speaker 1: I just was asking nonprofits, why don't you have a monthly giving program? Like, A, it feels amazing as the monthly donor. It's accessible. It's creating predictable, sustainable revenue for you. And they just said, we don't know how to do that. So in 2017, I started Positive Equation.
