[20:32] - "Everything we're doing is trying to laser focus on finding events that are going to unlock value. And during periods of market turbulence, instability, or uncertainty, we tend to really focus even more on hard catalysts and events that are near term in nature so that we can insulate ourselves even more from market turmoil." - Yoav Sharon
