More choice should make us happier. Turns out, it often does the opposite. Whether it’s choosing a movie, buying a pair of jeans or helping your child pick school subjects, searching for the absolute best option can leave us anxious, regretful and less satisfied with what we eventually choose. Justin and Kylie unpack the psychology of maximising versus satisficing and what the research reveals about decision-making. They explore why “good enough” can sometimes make us happier, how too many choices affect kids, and how to know when a decision deserves serious thought and when it’s time to stop searching. KEY POINTS • The difference between maximisers and satisficers • Why finding the “best” option doesn’t always make us happier • How too many choices can increase regret and dissatisfaction • Why kids often benefit from fewer options • How to decide what “good enough” looks like before you start searching • Which decisions deserve more time and which ones don’t • How parents can model confident decision-making QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “If you can decide what’s going to be good enough before you start the search, then once you find it, you can stop the search.” RESOURCES MENTIONED • Herbert Simon’s concept of “satisficing” • Research by Sheena Iyengar, Barry Schwartz and Jonathan Wells on maximising and decision-making ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS • Shrink the choice. Give children two or three options instead of an endless list. • Set the standard first. Decide what “good enough” looks like before searching. • Say it out loud. Let your kids hear you say, “This works. I’m happy with this choice.” • Match the effort to the decision. University choices deserve more thought than what to eat for dinner. • Notice decision avoidance. Ask whether you’re still searching for a better answer or because committing to one feels uncomfortable. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[0:05] Speaker 1: There's this idea that we're going to talk about today
[0:07] Speaker 1: on the podcast called maximizing versus satisfying. Here's how it
[0:12] Speaker 1: works in a nutshell. Maybe on the weekend, it took
[0:15] Speaker 1: you 20 minutes to choose something to watch. Maybe an
[0:17] Speaker 1: hour to choose something to watch. And then you didn't
[0:20] Speaker 1: choose anything at all because you couldn't find the thing
[0:22] Speaker 1: that was going to work best. Or maybe you've got
[0:24] Speaker 1: older kids. They're thinking about their electives for next year.
[0:27] Speaker 1: They've been talking over and over and over and over
[0:29] Speaker 1: again about choosing the right electives. And now they can't
[0:32] Speaker 1: stop thinking about the ones that they didn't pick. There's
[0:35] Speaker 1: a name for it, there's research on it, and there's
[0:37] Speaker 1: something you can do about it. Today, a conversation about
[0:41] Speaker 1: how we and our children make decisions and how we
[0:44] Speaker 1: can be satisfied with the decisions we make. It's next
[0:47] Speaker 1: on the Happy Families Podcast. Hello, this is the Happy
[0:52] Speaker 1: Families Podcast, where you get real parenting solutions every single day.
[0:55] Speaker 1: We're Justin and Kylie Coulson, parents of six children. We
[0:59] Speaker 1: spent a lot of time, Kylie, trying to work out
[1:02] Speaker 1: what the maximally satisfying number of children was that we
[1:05] Speaker 1: should have. I always felt that two was probably enough,
[1:09] Speaker 1: maybe three. But you felt that we would be maximally
[1:12] Speaker 1: optimized and we would have the fullest and richest life
[1:14] Speaker 1: if we had six. We compromised. We had six.
[1:17] Speaker 2: Well, we had an eight-seater at the time. I don't see.
[1:20] Speaker 1: You've got to maximize the space in the car. It's
[1:24] Speaker 1: one of those things, isn't it? So some people are wired...
[1:28] Speaker 1: to find the best option. And some are wired. I'm
[1:33] Speaker 1: using the word wired. I don't know if it's the
[1:34] Speaker 1: right word or not, but some people are wired to
[1:36] Speaker 1: find an option that's good enough.
[1:38] Speaker 2: So I have the perfect example. Yeah, go. You and
[1:42] Speaker 2: I shop very differently.
[1:44] Speaker 1: Yes, we do.
[1:46] Speaker 2: I go to the shops, I have a budget, and
[1:49] Speaker 2: I want to make sure that I have looked at
[1:51] Speaker 2: every store and every conceivable possible option to make sure
[1:55] Speaker 2: I'm maximizing my money. and getting the right fit. You, however,
[2:00] Speaker 2: a week before our wedding, decided to go and buy
[2:04] Speaker 2: a pair of shoes. And it wasn't until after the wedding,
[2:06] Speaker 2: you realized that they were half a size too small.
[2:08] Speaker 1: They were the wrong size.
[2:09] Speaker 2: Because you literally just walked in and said, yeah, I'll
[2:11] Speaker 2: take those.
[2:12] Speaker 1: I'll take them. I've got a more up-to-date one. I
[2:15] Speaker 1: needed some jeans. I haven't worn jeans for years, but
[2:16] Speaker 1: I've decided that maybe I'm almost 51 now. And I
[2:21] Speaker 1: feel youthful if I'm wearing jeans. Well, at least I'm
[2:24] Speaker 1: trying to. I'm trying to feel youthful, but I don't actually.
[2:26] Speaker 1: I feel really uncomfortable. But I walked into this jean
[2:28] Speaker 1: store when I.
[2:29] Speaker 2: Was- This trendy jean store. It wasn't just- Very trendy.
[2:32] Speaker 1: When I was in Adelaide recently for a conference and
[2:35] Speaker 1: I just said, I literally said to the guy, I'm
[2:38] Speaker 1: after some jeans. I've got to literally be at the
[2:40] Speaker 1: airport in 30 minutes and it's a 20 minute drive.
[2:42] Speaker 1: You've got 10 minutes. I need some jeans. And he said, well,
[2:45] Speaker 1: what style do you like? And he started running through
[2:47] Speaker 1: all the styles. And I said, mate, I just need
[2:48] Speaker 1: some jeans. And so he gave me a pair of jeans.
[2:51] Speaker 1: They were one size too big. He gave me the
[2:53] Speaker 1: size down. I can't breathe when I wear them, but
[2:55] Speaker 1: I bought them because I didn't realize that until I
[2:58] Speaker 1: got them home. I have a habit of just, it'll do.
[3:02] Speaker 1: Satisfying is it'll do. Do you ever listen to the
[3:05] Speaker 1: Hamish and Andy podcast?
[3:07] Speaker 2: No.
[3:08] Speaker 1: So Andy is a bit like you. Everything has to
[3:11] Speaker 1: be in order. It has to be precise. It has
[3:13] Speaker 1: to be done. Hamish, in his own words, is fast
[3:16] Speaker 1: and loose. And I kind of feel like that's a
[3:18] Speaker 1: bit mean. When it comes to shopping, just get in there,
[3:21] Speaker 1: get it done, get out.
[3:22] Speaker 2: It'll do.
[3:23] Speaker 1: It'll be fine.
[3:24] Speaker 2: You've actually even got to a point now where you
[3:27] Speaker 2: just go in and find something you like and buy
[3:28] Speaker 2: four of it.
[3:29] Speaker 1: That's literally what I do. Yeah. Although I didn't buy
[3:31] Speaker 1: four pairs of these jeans, which I'm grateful for because
[3:33] Speaker 1: they're a little bit tight.
[3:35] Speaker 2: They're a little bit tight.
[3:36] Speaker 1: Although he promised me that once we've washed them a
[3:38] Speaker 1: few times, they'll just sort of stretch because that's what
[3:40] Speaker 1: they do apparently.
[3:41] Speaker 2: Apparently.
[3:42] Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm going to wear them often
[3:43] Speaker 1: enough to get them to stretch.
[3:45] Speaker 2: Do I just wash them for you three times? They're
[3:47] Speaker 2: just a little bit tight.
[3:49] Speaker 1: So there's this distinction that we need to talk about here,
[3:52] Speaker 1: and we'll bring this back to parenting in a second.
[3:54] Speaker 1: But when it relates to how happy we are in
[3:56] Speaker 1: our lives as well, Herbert Simon was the guy that
[3:59] Speaker 1: developed this idea in 1956. He coined this term, satisficing. Maximize,
[4:07] Speaker 1: and it feels like a false word. I really get
[4:11] Speaker 1: annoyed when I hear the word. It's jarring to me.
[4:13] Speaker 1: But what he basically said is, if you're a maximizer,
[4:17] Speaker 1: you search for the best available option. If you're a satisfier,
[4:21] Speaker 1: you set a standard and then you take the first
[4:24] Speaker 1: thing that clears the standard.
[4:26] Speaker 2: You settle.
[4:27] Speaker 1: That's right.
[4:27] Speaker 2: Settle.
[4:28] Speaker 1: Well, no, you don't just settle. There's got to be
[4:30] Speaker 1: a standard that you're okay with. But for me, they're jeans. Okay,
[4:33] Speaker 1: that's the standard. They're shoes. I don't wear them.
[4:37] Speaker 2: That's me and TV. Right. Yes. I got to a
[4:41] Speaker 2: point where I found like trying to find the perfect
[4:44] Speaker 2: show or the perfect movie would mean that by the
[4:47] Speaker 2: time I'd finally got to it, I was so exhausted
[4:49] Speaker 2: from scrolling for at least an hour trying to find
[4:52] Speaker 2: something that satisfied me that I didn't want to watch
[4:55] Speaker 2: it anymore. So now I just click on something and
[4:57] Speaker 2: if it looks semi-okay, I'm willing to give it a go.
[5:00] Speaker 1: It's so funny you say that because everyone is both, right?
[5:02] Speaker 1: When it comes to buying clothing, just The thing is,
[5:06] Speaker 1: I'll never buy another pair of those jeans because I'm
[5:08] Speaker 1: not happy with those jeans. But when I do find
[5:10] Speaker 1: something I like, I literally go and buy four or
[5:11] Speaker 1: five of them and then I'm done. I don't have
[5:13] Speaker 1: to think about it again because I know that I
[5:15] Speaker 1: like it. When it comes to movies, I'm a maximizer.
[5:20] Speaker 1: If it's not a great show, if it's not a
[5:22] Speaker 1: great movie, I'm not watching it. I'll walk out and say, well,
[5:24] Speaker 1: there goes two hours that I'm never going to get back.
[5:26] Speaker 1: That's my standard line.
[5:27] Speaker 2: Hence, I don't choose to take you to the movies
[5:29] Speaker 2: very often.
[5:30] Speaker 1: So the question really is, is the person who searches
[5:34] Speaker 1: harder better off? That's the real question.
[5:38] Speaker 2: I think it depends.
[5:40] Speaker 1: There's science. There's science. Today's a doctor's desk episode. I
[5:43] Speaker 1: haven't even mentioned the words doctor's desk today because I
[5:46] Speaker 1: thought I could trick you into having a conversation about
[5:48] Speaker 1: science without bringing up that it's a doctor's desk episode.
[5:52] Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what the science says, but I'm
[5:54] Speaker 2: going to suggest that it really depends. There are some
[5:57] Speaker 2: decisions that you need to be a maximizer. You actually need, like,
[6:00] Speaker 2: who are you going to marry? Yeah. You don't settle.
[6:03] Speaker 2: You don't kind of pick the first thing that comes
[6:05] Speaker 2: your way.
[6:06] Speaker 1: But don't forget, a satisficer still sets a standard.
[6:08] Speaker 2: Yeah, but the standard's pretty low.
[6:10] Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be. I'll be satisfied if I
[6:13] Speaker 1: get everything on my list.
[6:17] Speaker 2: But there are other things, like what am I going
[6:18] Speaker 2: to watch tonight, where you don't need to spend as
[6:21] Speaker 2: much energy and time on it.
[6:22] Speaker 1: Let me share a couple of studies that I think
[6:24] Speaker 1: are really useful here, and then we're going to turn
[6:26] Speaker 1: this back to kids. So Sheena Iyengar, who is very
[6:30] Speaker 1: well known for her research in choice psychology, like how
[6:34] Speaker 1: we make our choices. And Barry Schwartz teamed up with
[6:39] Speaker 1: one other researcher by the name of Wells. And in 2006,
[6:41] Speaker 1: we're going back 20 years, but this is such a
[6:44] Speaker 1: great study. Graduating students were tracked through a job search.
[6:49] Speaker 1: And what they found was that maximizers... landed jobs that
[6:53] Speaker 1: paid around about 20% more than satisficers. See, that's an important.
[7:00] Speaker 1: The maximizers earned more money, but they were also more anxious.
[7:05] Speaker 1: They were also more regretful and they were also less
[7:07] Speaker 1: satisfied with the jobs that they got. So better outcome,
[7:12] Speaker 1: but worse experience getting the outcome.
[7:17] Speaker 2: Is that because money was the motivator?
[7:20] Speaker 1: No, it was because they were maximizers because this research
[7:22] Speaker 1: has been done in a variety of different ways.
[7:25] Speaker 2: So they think that they found the perfect job and
[7:27] Speaker 2: then they were dissatisfied with it?
[7:29] Speaker 1: It's not just the outcome, it's also the process. So
[7:33] Speaker 1: maximizers don't enjoy the process because it's even choosing a
[7:38] Speaker 1: pair of jeans or choosing a top or a dress
[7:40] Speaker 1: or whatever, or choosing a haircut, deciding where you're going
[7:43] Speaker 1: to live. If you're a maximizer, I'm a maximizer when
[7:46] Speaker 1: it comes to choosing where we're going to live. and
[7:49] Speaker 1: this is quite personal, but we've lived with my dissatisfaction
[7:52] Speaker 1: over our place of residence for the duration of our marriage.
[7:56] Speaker 1: No matter where we've been, I'm like, oh, but it
[7:58] Speaker 1: doesn't have this, or, but I'd really like that. Oh,
[8:00] Speaker 1: I'd be really happy if we had a view or
[8:03] Speaker 1: if we had a garage. We don't even have a
[8:05] Speaker 1: garage where we live, right? And so I've constantly played
[8:08] Speaker 1: that game. Whereas for you, you've always just been, you
[8:12] Speaker 1: grew up literally next to the highway. Your parents had
[8:15] Speaker 1: a house with one of those huge fences behind it
[8:17] Speaker 1: because you were next to the highway. And So you've
[8:19] Speaker 1: always just been completely satisfied with everywhere we live. You've
[8:21] Speaker 1: got a totally different orientation towards it. And therefore, you're
[8:24] Speaker 1: happier than me.
[8:26] Speaker 2: I'm just happy because that's my house. It's mine.
[8:28] Speaker 1: So how do we raise a kid who can make
[8:32] Speaker 1: the kinds of decisions where they decide something and then
[8:36] Speaker 1: live with satisfaction in the decision? That's our Doctor's Desk
[8:41] Speaker 1: episode with the parental application right after this break. We're back.
[8:53] Speaker 1: It's the Happy Families podcast. And today, maximizing versus satisfying.
[8:58] Speaker 2: I'm really hoping that from today's discussion, you'll learn some
[9:02] Speaker 2: really important things.
[9:03] Speaker 1: You want me to learn? What do you want me
[9:04] Speaker 1: to learn from this?
[9:05] Speaker 2: To be grateful for what you have.
[9:07] Speaker 1: This is not a podcast about gratitude. This is a
[9:09] Speaker 1: podcast about satisficing and maximizing.
[9:13] Speaker 2: Stop maximizing.
[9:14] Speaker 1: You're the maximizer. Come on. Come on. We've already talked
[9:18] Speaker 1: about your maximizing when it comes to clothing.
[9:20] Speaker 2: I don't do that anymore. I just take you shopping
[9:22] Speaker 2: and you walk in and I try something on and
[9:24] Speaker 2: she's going to get that.
[9:26] Speaker 1: We had a great experience when we went away on
[9:28] Speaker 1: our last quarterly getaway where you needed some clothes. You
[9:31] Speaker 1: wanted to buy a dress. And I don't know what
[9:34] Speaker 1: it is, but when we go away, I feel abundant.
[9:36] Speaker 1: We don't have the kind of cash to do what
[9:39] Speaker 1: I do. always want to do on these quarterly getaways,
[9:41] Speaker 1: but we walked into a shop and you tried on
[9:43] Speaker 1: four dresses and I said, we'll take them. And you
[9:45] Speaker 1: look fabulous in all of them. See, I'm a satisficer.
[9:48] Speaker 1: They're all fine. You look great. Let's move on. Why
[9:52] Speaker 1: do we have, why does it, we don't have to
[9:54] Speaker 1: spend four hours shopping for one dress. Let's spend one
[9:56] Speaker 1: hour and buy four dresses and get out of here.
[9:59] Speaker 1: And you've had some. many comments on those dresses.
[10:01] Speaker 2: I have.
[10:02] Speaker 1: And they were on special because it was stock take time.
[10:04] Speaker 1: I feel like I was.
[10:06] Speaker 2: Anyway.
[10:07] Speaker 1: Satisfying. That's, that's, There are four things that we need
[10:09] Speaker 1: to highlight here related to parenting. First one's actually more
[10:14] Speaker 1: related to us than the kids, but this is what
[10:17] Speaker 1: it takes when it comes to helping our kids to
[10:19] Speaker 1: make decisions and feel good about them. Number one, I
[10:21] Speaker 1: think we need to say it out loud.
[10:23] Speaker 2: Say what out loud?
[10:24] Speaker 1: Say something like, that'll do. I'm done looking. I'm satisfied.
[10:27] Speaker 1: I don't have to maximize. I'm satisfied. So literally, narrate
[10:30] Speaker 1: a legitimate, satisficing decision over a maximizing decision. Maybe you're
[10:37] Speaker 1: booking a holiday and you just say, you know what?
[10:41] Speaker 1: This holiday looks fine and I don't have to check
[10:43] Speaker 1: another 11 websites. I don't have to go through booking.com
[10:46] Speaker 1: or Airbnb for 15 more locations that we could possibly stay.
[10:49] Speaker 1: I found one. It meets the minimum standard. Let's grab it.
[10:52] Speaker 1: It'll do. I'm like this with restaurants. So if we're
[10:55] Speaker 1: Googling for a place to eat because we're in a
[10:57] Speaker 1: new town or city, so long as it's like a
[10:59] Speaker 1: 4.6 or above, I don't care. I'll just eat there.
[11:03] Speaker 1: If it's less than about 4.5.
[11:04] Speaker 2: Yeah, but then we talk to all of our friends
[11:06] Speaker 2: who get these amazing holiday deals that we never get.
[11:09] Speaker 2: We pay like full price.
[11:11] Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
[11:12] Speaker 2: Every time.
[11:13] Speaker 1: I know. Can we talk about parenting again?
[11:17] Speaker 2: Sure, let's talk about parenting.
[11:18] Speaker 1: Because now I'm feeling like I should be a maximizer
[11:19] Speaker 1: and not a satisfizer. Second thing.
[11:22] Speaker 2: I think we might need therapy after today.
[11:25] Speaker 1: Second thing. This one's very much about the kids. Shrink
[11:29] Speaker 1: the choice before they make it. What do I mean
[11:30] Speaker 1: by that? Instead of saying, what do you feel like
[11:33] Speaker 1: for dinner? Just give them two or three options. Tonight
[11:36] Speaker 1: we can have this, this or this. What would you rather?
[11:37] Speaker 1: Tonight we can have this. Right. Yeah, fair enough. After-school activities.
[11:47] Speaker 1: We've got these two that we're going to be doing
[11:49] Speaker 1: to choose between or these three that you can choose between.
[11:53] Speaker 1: We don't have the whole brochure. So fewer options means
[11:57] Speaker 1: decisions that you can feel good about afterwards. The research
[11:59] Speaker 1: actually shows that when there are more choices– You tend
[12:02] Speaker 1: to be less satisfied with the decision that you made
[12:06] Speaker 1: and you don't enjoy making the decision as much.
[12:09] Speaker 2: That's why when we sit down to play cards, I
[12:11] Speaker 2: just pull out five crowns.
[12:12] Speaker 1: Right. That's why I don't play cards. There's another one
[12:17] Speaker 1: that I thought of and that is that you just,
[12:19] Speaker 1: I think that we just use the right language. So
[12:21] Speaker 1: good enough is a phrase that I think is really
[12:24] Speaker 1: useful here. Just make a decision that they made. You
[12:28] Speaker 1: chose that. You're happy with it. It'll do. If you
[12:33] Speaker 1: say it'll do, that sounds negative. But if you say, well,
[12:35] Speaker 1: you chose it and this is a good choice. We've
[12:37] Speaker 1: enjoyed this. To me, that's enough. We're just talking about
[12:41] Speaker 1: feeling like we've satisfied the minimum. I like it. More
[12:47] Speaker 1: than anything, though, I think that there's great conversations that
[12:49] Speaker 1: you can have around satisficing and maximizing when it comes
[12:51] Speaker 1: to regret. Do you regret how long you spent looking
[12:54] Speaker 1: for that dress? You spent five hours looking for that dress. Uh,
[12:58] Speaker 1: what else could you have done with the day? Yeah,
[13:01] Speaker 1: but you did spend five hours looking for the dress.
[13:03] Speaker 1: What else could you have done with the day? Do
[13:04] Speaker 1: you feel that was, or do you feel like it
[13:05] Speaker 1: was the right choice to maximize today? Do you know
[13:09] Speaker 1: what I mean? Like having, having the conversation, are we
[13:12] Speaker 1: going too hard here? Am I being too finicky about it? I,
[13:15] Speaker 1: to me, to me, this, this is a conversation about
[13:19] Speaker 1: how we make our decisions. And psychologically, the data shows
[13:21] Speaker 1: that if we can be more oriented towards satisfying, we're happier.
[13:25] Speaker 2: Um, I just think this is a conversation about being
[13:27] Speaker 2: grateful for what you've got. That's what it actually feels
[13:30] Speaker 2: like to me. Fair enough.
[13:31] Speaker 1: Fair enough. Here's what the research.
[13:33] Speaker 2: Because if you're grateful for what you've got, then you're
[13:36] Speaker 2: not constantly looking for the next best thing.
[13:38] Speaker 1: The data seems to point to something similar. Number one,
[13:43] Speaker 1: if you can decide what's going to be good enough
[13:44] Speaker 1: before you start the search, then once you find it,
[13:48] Speaker 1: you can stop the search. So having clarity around what
[13:50] Speaker 1: you're looking for is useful. Second thing that the research
[13:54] Speaker 1: says is that if you're making really big decisions, like
[13:56] Speaker 1: you talked about marriage, do the full search. Well, maybe
[14:00] Speaker 1: not the full search because you'll be on the apps
[14:02] Speaker 1: forever and you probably won't get married as a result.
[14:04] Speaker 1: But most decisions don't require a full search. Like we've
[14:09] Speaker 1: got a daughter who's trying to make up her mind
[14:11] Speaker 1: about university decisions for next year at the moment. That's
[14:15] Speaker 1: a big decision and she needs to search thoroughly and
[14:18] Speaker 1: consider her options. Although it's not the end of the
[14:20] Speaker 1: world if she gets it wrong. But buying a jumper,
[14:23] Speaker 1: or buying a new pair of shorts, not quite as
[14:25] Speaker 1: big a decision. And the last thing that I think
[14:28] Speaker 1: is worth kind of playing around with is just ask
[14:31] Speaker 1: yourself whether you're still looking because you want a better
[14:33] Speaker 1: answer or because deciding is uncomfortable and you're not comfortable
[14:38] Speaker 1: making a decision.
[14:41] Speaker 2: I actually think that that's probably more my problem than
[14:44] Speaker 2: about maximizing. As a mom, so often we put everyone
[14:47] Speaker 2: else's needs before our own. And for me, I often
[14:54] Speaker 2: go from store to store looking and I just can't
[14:57] Speaker 2: justify spending the money on myself, whereas I wouldn't flinch
[15:01] Speaker 2: if it was for the kids. I'd just do it.
[15:04] Speaker 2: And so you end up kind of wasting the day
[15:08] Speaker 2: away wishing but not actually making a decision.
[15:11] Speaker 1: Just got to satisfy.
[15:12] Speaker 2: Well, I'll just take you shopping next time.
[15:14] Speaker 1: I love it.
[15:14] Speaker 2: You'll just say, buy them all.
[15:15] Speaker 1: Pretty much. And then regret it.
[15:18] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[15:19] Speaker 1: Then I do end up regretting it and thinking I
[15:21] Speaker 1: should have maximized. Although sitting in boutique after boutique, I'm
[15:24] Speaker 1: saying boutique, you don't go to boutiques like clothing store
[15:27] Speaker 1: after clothing store, DFO outlet after DFO outlet. It can
[15:30] Speaker 1: be pretty heavy going. I don't enjoy it. I'd rather
[15:33] Speaker 1: live with the regret on the credit card than the
[15:34] Speaker 1: regret of wasting a day in a retail outlet. Hey,
[15:38] Speaker 1: thanks so much for listening. A little bit different today,
[15:40] Speaker 1: but we hope that we gave you a laugh and
[15:41] Speaker 1: also something to think about. Next time you've got to
