[00:00:00] Speaker 1: It is easier today, I think, for someone to start their own firm than it was 30 years ago when I became a lawyer. And I have worked in the government, at the Department of Justice, I've worked at a large law firm, I've had my own law firm, I've had my own solo practice. So I've done pretty much it all. And if I were to start a solo or small firm again today, oh yeah, the AI and technology absolutely a game changer.
