4:14
[Laughter]
4:18
[Music]
4:20
you ain't been home sway this is true
4:26
this is true
4:28
um
4:29
NBC News I saw an article where they
4:33
called you the richest woman in Jamaica
4:36
and you made your first million at the
4:38
age of 35 but they called you the
4:41
richest woman in Jamaica
4:43
yes how did you get there
4:46
ah God
4:48
speak on that please amen yes I've
4:52
always had this perseverance of
4:55
resilience that everything that I touch
4:58
and everything that I do I give it
5:00
everything I have
5:02
like I'm tunnel vision to the extreme I
5:06
can't I have this Obsession about not
5:09
finishing if I start something I must
5:11
finish it and I must excel at it so even
5:14
if I don't win at first I use it as a
5:17
stepping stone to fix whatever it is I'm
5:19
weak on but I don't focus on what I've
5:21
lost I focus on the strength to and then
5:24
develop my weaknesses so that I can get
5:26
to the point of Excellence for me when
5:29
you start out you gotta gun it just like
5:31
you gotta go hard you gotta gun it yeah
5:33
and I the way that I do it in gunning it
5:35
I'm working first company I'm working 20
5:39
hours a day every day the first six
5:42
months in my first company I only made
5:43
fifteen thousand dollars and then in the
5:46
eighth month I made almost half a
5:49
million because I just kept going and
5:51
kept going I kept hearing maybe he's a
5:54
nose and maybe he's a nose and it didn't
5:55
stop me and I am like that with every
5:57
aspect of my life everything you
6:00
approach you approach gung-ho 110 120
6:03
yes
6:05
um I find this interesting because when
6:07
people read the book uh what you're
6:09
going to realize is you go into detail
6:11
about a lot of abuse and Trauma that you
6:13
suffered right and I know a lot of times
6:15
when people write books you reveal
6:17
things that your closest family members
6:20
may have never heard
6:21
uh after reading some of the can you
6:24
discuss that how did you decide what you
6:26
would talk about and and then how do you
6:29
feel like those traumas actually helped
6:31
you today if so
6:33
it gave me the ability to release once
6:35
you release pain you can replace it with
6:38
love
6:40
when I was writing a book there were a
6:41
couple of things that I'm I said my job
6:44
the reason I'm writing this book is to
6:45
help others and in order to do so I have
6:48
to give them everything I can't even
6:49
have this story a part of the story I
6:51
have to completely be wide open and my
6:55
job and my responsibility is to my
6:57
purpose is to touch young women and men
7:00
across the globe and when writing the
7:03
book a couple of things that happened I
7:05
didn't want to disclose and my good
7:07
friend CK Mulford who was a writer okay
7:10
he says why your secrets are not really
7:12
Secrets Trish what do you mean they're
7:15
not Secrets he said tell me what the
7:17
secret is I said
7:19
ah well you know my SATs I don't know if
7:23
I want to put that in there and he's
7:25
like
7:26
that's not a secret a lot of people go
7:28
through that and it was for me was it's
7:31
something that I couldn't accomplish
7:33
yeah so I didn't want the world to know
7:35
I can't accomplish something but I said
7:37
you know what I'm going to add that
7:39
there because there might be a young
7:41
woman or a young man who is believing
7:44
that they are not good enough and they
7:46
cannot become because they are not able
7:48
to take the standardized tests the same
7:50
way the next person can so that was one
7:52
of the things that I included the second
7:54
part second thing that included was um
7:57
that I did not want to include was a
7:58
suicide attempt
8:00
and I've shared the story about my life
8:04
my life my voice changed and my ability
8:08
to touch others change when I started
8:10
medical equipment and supplies through
8:12
the coma my voice changed because when
8:14
my larynx was clipped it I couldn't talk
8:17
so when my voice came back now I can't
8:20
yell I have not I don't have a yelling
8:22
voice and so it was more calmer which is
8:24
one of my gifts that God has given me in
8:27
conjunction would be able to touch the
8:28
people
8:29
who are who are in need who don't have
8:32
resources like the disabled and elderly
8:35
and that's why I started Bailey's
8:36
medical equipment and supplies wow Dr
8:39
Trisha Bailey is here you never know
8:42
what people go through right yeah we
8:45
know the headlines that she's worth a
8:47
billion but we don't know what she went
8:48
through to get there and the fact that
8:50
you're here to share with us had to be
8:52
yes hi thank you so much um for being
8:54
here today we were having a conversation
8:56
earlier this morning about marriage and
8:58
partnership and you talk about you know
9:00
going gung-ho and and you know obviously
9:03
God blessing you with success that I
9:05
think to a degree everybody wants that
9:07
but then there's this balance in another
9:09
partnership in marriage
9:11
um how were you able to approach that
9:13
what's your take on it what's your view
9:15
on it because to me in my world well I
9:18
believe that's just as important you
9:20
know having that balance at home in your
9:22
home life as well
9:23
um would you mind sharing some of this
9:25
yes
9:25
um so I've been married twice my first
9:29
husband good man the last one he's a
9:32
great dad
9:33
I sound like we sound like we're in my
9:36
kitchen now I want to go yes girl talk
9:41
uh
9:48
so
9:53
I believe in love so I have been chasing
9:57
I'm sure you haven't read Wicked when
9:59
you do you'll see okay I've been chasing
10:01
love all my life I believe in the
10:04
epitome of love I know there's others
10:05
whomever touches my life so whatever man
10:08
that is in my space I'm like the kindest
10:11
the most loving I'm a docile I'm I will
10:15
allow him to lead and I believe that
10:17
that's a that's a balance because I
10:19
believe in living according to God's
10:22
will amen and my prescription is to be
10:25
his rib to hold him up so that's how I
10:28
encounter relationships my children I
10:31
have five of them I still do tea time
10:33
praying time and story time every night
10:35
this week not because I'm the home so
10:37
right when I'm home and they absolutely
10:39
love it so you have to have a balance
10:41
and how I develop this balance is I only
10:43
participate in things that will move my
10:45
needle in a positive direction
10:47
so if it's not something that is going
10:49
to move the needle I'm not showing up
10:51
I'm not going to be there whether it is
10:53
moving my needle could simply be
10:55
touching you and be able to talk to you
10:58
and be able to encourage you be able to
10:59
give you hope and inspire you in
11:01
different ways or moving my needle could
11:03
be a positive another positive in
11:05
regards to my development of Economics
11:08
um so that's how I so I guess I am
11:10
perfectly aligned with you it is so
11:12
important yeah but how do you know if a
11:15
guy likes you for your money or not yeah
11:17
straight up yeah how do you know if they
11:19
like you for your money that discernment
11:21
yo
11:22
I never knew
11:24
even taught me how to find the one who
11:27
doesn't want me for my money
11:34
and also on the subject of relationships
11:38
uh Dr Billy and I don't want to sit here
11:39
for too long but I know there's many
11:41
many women are making a lot of bread
11:43
right now you know and a lot of
11:45
conversations are around how does one
11:48
show up joyfully submissive in a
11:52
relationship in a marriage if you're
11:55
also the breadwinner as a woman what
11:58
does that look like especially because a
12:00
lot of men have been relegated to
12:02
provider as like that title as that role
12:05
do you have some examples I have lots of
12:07
examples of those okay I was the
12:10
breadwinner it's not most of my
12:12
relationships
12:14
um
12:14
for me didn't work
12:16
for me it didn't work because I wasn't
12:19
equally yoked now it doesn't necessarily
12:21
mean it won't work for someone else
12:23
um but I think when a man feels
12:26
that you're more powerful and stronger a
12:29
lot of men wants to pull you down they
12:31
want to stomp on you to bring you down
12:33
to their level
12:34
now I have an amazing partner who's
12:36
equally yoked to me so I get the
12:38
opportunity to feel what love truly
12:40
feels like and what it feels like to be
12:42
loved and not the love for my money
12:44
because he has his own money yeah
12:47
you know so my advice to young woman
12:50
because I kept telling myself you know
12:51
everybody's the same it's okay he
12:53
doesn't have this he's trying to build
12:55
and what I do is I'm trying to help you
12:58
build but you're trying to push me down
13:00
to bring me in a space that is not
13:02
productive for yourself or me and then
13:04
they naturally become abusive so that's
13:06
my experience doesn't mean that's
13:08
everyone experience but that's mine so I
13:10
you have to find someone who's equally
13:12
yoked mentally emotionally and
13:14
spiritually and financially hopefully
13:15
let's talk about it
13:18
Trish is here y'all
13:32
I have a question for you
13:35
um I love we do a lot of conversation
13:37
around education um and I love the fact
13:39
that and salute to you for being the the
13:43
highest University of Connecticut's
13:46
alumni to give a single cast donation a
13:48
15 million dollars to your alma mater
13:50
come on how you find that number up hey
14:00
no longer Anonymous yeah
14:05
you're gonna have your name on the
14:07
building right it's going to be Baileys
14:08
only someone who donates is able to get
14:11
naming right
14:13
um so if you can if you could talk about
14:14
the importance of people giving back to
14:17
the alma mater right and why you did it
14:19
black people so the reason why I did it
14:21
I wanted for a young girl who looked
14:24
like me to have the grace that a white
14:26
girl
14:27
or a white boy gets on campus or any
14:30
other space because when they look at a
14:33
young white boy or girl they say well he
14:36
may become the next Bill Gates who's
14:39
going to donate XYZ to my university
14:42
they look at us they don't see that and
14:45
the reason why they don't see that
14:46
because they're we haven't had that much
14:48
impact in the philanthropic side in the
14:51
foundation now we do a lot of giving
14:53
back but in the largest context of it a
14:56
lot of black people wealthy black people
14:58
don't I wanted to make sure that the
15:01
trajectory and the narrative change for
15:04
black women and black boys and so that's
15:07
my reason for giving the university in
15:10
conjunction with that
15:11
they gave me my first chance they gave
15:14
me my first chance of success it's
15:15
beautiful they gave me a scholarship
15:17
when I didn't qualify for the
15:18
scholarship I was good enough in track
15:20
but my SATs didn't and they figured out
15:23
how to make sure that I still was able
15:25
to receive this scholarship and perform
15:27
so because of that my alma mater is
15:31
yeah
15:33
can you go a little bit further to
15:36
because not everyone's able to give like
15:38
a 15 million donation right like but can
15:40
you just talk about how important even
15:42
like a a certain amount or and you can
15:45
give or why it's important to get back
15:47
to your alma mater well it's important
15:49
to give in general because when you
15:51
whatever you put out into the universe
15:53
you will be multiplied and come back to
15:55
you it is just natural it's I mean it is
15:57
from the passive time in the Bible he
16:00
tells you and God gave all the talents
16:03
the one that had the one Talent came
16:05
back with the one he took it so you
16:07
don't deserve it because you didn't rep
16:08
you didn't multiply it so it is always
16:11
good to be able to give back it's not
16:13
necessarily just money though you could
16:15
give back your time you can give advice
16:16
you can give
16:18
a helping hand and you'll be able to
16:21
touch the lives in positive ways that
16:23
that you will start to see the reward of
16:27
those things coming back in different
16:29
ways it's not always going to come back
16:30
from who you give it to but as long as
16:33
you're kind and loving you open up your
16:35
heart and you leave your heart the space
16:37
to receive love and the peace that you
16:40
deserve in your life and your space and
16:42
I truly believe
16:44
we all serve God we all get we get
16:46
theirs in different lip forms but we all
16:48
serve the same God and I truly believe
16:50
that when you are injecting these
16:52
positive energy into the universe into
16:54
the world that they will come back to
16:56
you the way that they have for me Dr Dr
16:59
Trisha Bailey yes
17:03

17:06

conversation with a black woman who's a
18:38
billionaire other than have the B have
18:40
this B is a billionaire too please talk
18:42
in the building I don't know if you knew
18:43
that
18:44
and so this is really powerful I'm gonna
18:46
get to these phone lines
18:48
um but I do want to ask you when you
18:49
when you started navigating because you
18:52
don't spoke on global conferences World
18:54
economic conferences right you've been a
18:58
speaker in in front of the world and
19:01
I'm just curious because that world is
19:03
so isolated and we were talking about
19:04
access a lot of us don't have access and
19:07
I'm sure you've been in plenty of rooms
19:08
where you saw no one that looked like
19:10
you and for some folks it could be
19:13
intimidating but obviously it wasn't for
19:15
you what advice would you give to people
19:17
who don't really come from that
19:19
corporate Elite world yes you know in
19:21
that business world where you're dealing
19:23
with hundreds of millions of dollars as
19:25
opposed to tens and hundreds of
19:27
thousands of dollars what advice would
19:28
you give to people who find themselves
19:30
in that space and feel like they they
19:32
don't necessarily belong in that space
19:34
well if you're there you definitely
19:36
belong okay because you want to be there
19:37
if you didn't belong it's nothing in
19:39
life has happens for
19:42
coincidence everything is for a reason
19:44
so if you're in a room and you're the
19:46
only black person which I've been many
19:47
times I find that I'm I'm encouraged to
19:51
do great because what happened is like
19:53
if I do great the next higher they're
19:56
gonna say oh I need another Trisha
19:58
Bailey so I've always kind of take their
20:00
premises that do everything with my
20:02
maximum effort Excel so much keep your
20:06
blinders on because the sexism and the
20:07
racism is as strong as they possibly can
20:10
be
20:12
I ignore those things because I'm going
20:14
to make sure that I my Excellence is so
20:18
strong that you cannot deny me yeah and
20:21
when you're in that space and many many
20:23
people will be in are
20:26
hold it hone it this is yours this is
20:29
your blessing and you have to show your
20:32
Excellence don't be intimidated by
20:34
someone because no one is better than
20:36
you every person that I meet I treat
20:38
them exactly the same you could be
20:40
homeless you could be the president you
20:41
could be the global economic leader you
20:44
are exactly the same to me so I inject
20:46
love and kindness and I'm naturally just
20:48
me okay you it's when you start making
20:52
well maybe I'm speaking about my
20:54
experience when you when when money
20:56
becomes a little more abundant and you
20:58
you come from a very humble beginning
21:00
especially if it's like public
21:01
assistance and
21:03
let no electricity and no water and that
21:05
sort of thing when you start making
21:07
abundance
21:08
um you're entering around that you're
21:10
not familiar with nine times out of ten
21:12
nobody in your family is because you
21:14
ain't had these kind of riches
21:16
um how did you adjust like when did you
21:18
first start making money and and seeing
21:21
that okay this medical thing seems like
21:25
it's working and then how did you adjust
21:27
to
21:29
um a different like tax bracket being a
21:31
different social status when other
21:34
people are still where they were yeah so
21:36
I'm still adjusting okay that's fair I
21:40
am still adjusting because the space is
21:42
not functioning now I didn't know they
21:44
exist okay because when you get to the
21:47
billionaire space the people you engage
21:50
with they're different than the average
21:52
person do they look human yeah some of
21:55
them don't
22:00
because they're like balloons of
22:01
champagne okay so so but it's different
22:05
though right it is it is very different
22:07
it is a different space to function that
22:09
you're functioning in
22:10
um and I forgot your question so how do
22:13
you but like how but people around you
22:16
have to adjust to it too like your
22:17
sisters your brothers your uncles your
22:20
cousins and the cousins you never knew
22:22
you had you know how does that work so I
22:25
told my mom and my mom I've had money
22:28
for a very long time just because the
22:30
hype is there don't mean that you got to
22:31
jump on it too because everyone thinks
22:33
you have a money tree in the backyard
22:34
and you could just you know give them a
22:36
hundred thousand dollars for Scotch
22:38
Barney peanut butter or something
22:45
for a candy bar
23:06
all right
23:08
okay buddy
23:10
but but then how do you like really like
23:13
how do you manage the people around you
23:16
when you reach that status
23:18
um
23:19
I care for every person that's with me
23:21
so I look for and one of the gifts that
23:23
God has given me of recently is
23:25
discernment I'm able to meet someone and
23:28
tell exactly what is happening in their
23:30
space whether it's there being kind
23:32
whether it's a jealous feeling a toxic I
23:35
can feel that the people that are close
23:37
to me I make sure I'm caring for them
23:39
the same way if I eat you eat I've
23:42
always been like that so my first
23:43
employee is actually my CEO and he's one
23:46
of my closest friends because he stuck
23:48
with me and I make sure that whatever I
23:50
do is impactful positively in his life
23:53
and that is that's the way I am for
23:55
every person who's around me now there's
23:58
lots of cousins and aunties and all
24:00
those things that shows up
24:02
he I'm gonna be
24:05
completely transparent because that's
24:06
who I am they didn't tell me that I
24:08
shouldn't hear my dirty laundry that's
24:09
why my book is like this
24:12
why do you want to talk to me now in all
24:14
these years that you know that I'm here
24:16
working you never wanted to be in my
24:19
circle you never received me you're
24:21
visiting Orlando and you know I've lived
24:23
there forever and you never wanted to
24:25
come hang out why do you want to do it
24:27
now
24:28
so I'm still kind in my words okay I'm
24:32
always kind in my words but I'm also
24:35
realistic that and I'm if you need
24:38
something I will help you if I have the
24:39
ability to do so but doesn't necessarily
24:41
mean you're going to be a part of my
24:42
circle because you didn't want to be
24:43
before so I don't know why you want to
24:45
be now
24:51
very Jamaican of you too Trish
24:55
and kind with her words I love it
24:59
um Dr Trisha Bailey is here
25:02
Heather has a brand called Billy talk
25:05
yeah you know and and she sells
25:08
cosmetics and she's done merch and she's
25:11
sold a whole lot of different things uh
25:14
Tracy G has a health and wellness brand
25:16
as well uh she does public speaking so
25:19
on and so forth Mike Muse is probably
25:21
one of the most sought after
25:23
commentators producers
25:26
um that there is in the game right now
25:28
torch has his own
25:31
uh music music that he's put out and
25:34
merch that he's put out uh Kalani got
25:37
his own merch and music DB has his uh
25:40
he's a DJ he does he's a collector he
25:42
does a whole lot of different we all do
25:44
something
25:45
what advice would you give us like what
25:47
kind of business I know it's different
25:48
businesses and it's a broad broad
25:51
question but what would you say to us
25:53
like what advice would you give to these
25:55
people who are passionate about what
25:56
they're invested in so I always tell
25:59
people your first employee should be a
26:01
sales rep and the reason why is that
26:03
because you're doing the either your
26:04
manufacturing or in your cosmetic line
26:06
you're building building the
26:09
infrastructure the sales people are
26:11
bringing the business to you so I always
26:13
say that the first employee in any
26:15
company should be a salesperson because
26:17
it's going to help you as the owner get
26:20
the freedom to not have to go do all the
26:22
networking do all those things so they
26:23
are your face keep your just keep tunnel
26:26
vision continue doing all your processes
26:28
the way that you should making sure that
26:30
the money that the company makes there's
26:32
a portion that gets reinvested back into
26:34
the company I understand that you have
26:36
to live but make sure that the first
26:39
portion of the money is into an account
26:40
that gets reinvested whether it is
26:42
expansion of your line whether expansion
26:44
new store or whatever the dimensions are
26:48
um so I think that in it that's the
26:50
easiest way to answer such a broad
26:52
question of so many different things
26:54
that you guys are doing individually
26:55
I'll be able to give you better better
26:57
directives are you open to that do you
26:59
Mentor a lot of folks I do I'm into a
27:01
lot of people okay all right cool cool
27:03
okay I'm gonna run some things by you
27:06
all right we got uh GQ is on the line
27:09
actually from Connecticut GQ what's up
27:12

27:22

27:26

27:29
greatest
27:30
human beings on the planet y'all and I'm
27:32
saying it sincerely
27:34
really um because well yeah when we were
27:36
in high school
27:38

27:39
vision
27:40
that's just what she was
27:42
um
27:43
while we would you know all walking down
27:45
the Halls talking and she was busy she
27:47
was heading to classroom when we were
27:50
outside you know getting ready for the
27:53
football game with this she wasn't doing
27:55
that she was warming up stressing
27:56
getting ready for this meat but here's
27:58
the greatness of Trish let me tell you
27:59
this
28:00
we didn't know how great she was going
28:02
to be
28:03
until we saw her on
28:05
the cover of our local newspaper
28:10
um running track and even then we didn't
28:11
know that she was gonna
28:13
Ascend to such Heights is where she is
28:15
but she's always been very
28:17
humble in her nature humble in her walk
28:20
and that's what really elevates her and
28:23
and I'm and I gotta say and I'm saying
28:25
this to you personally Trish thank you
28:28
because she saved my life at one point
28:31
and I'm forever indebted to
28:35
push her story tell people about her get
28:40
I'm telling you get this book I'm I'm in
28:43
this book and there's so many gems in
28:45
there
28:45
that we didn't know and I'm not gonna
28:47
keep it short because I know other
28:48

29:09

Daphne
29:55

29:58
what's up
29:59
what's up what's up Daphne
30:04
um I am very very grateful to get
30:06
through I have um I'm a chef here in
30:09
Boca and South Florida and I am going
30:13
through
30:14
a spiritual journey and I need to work
30:16
on my confidence my self-worth I have
30:19
two kids unhappily married I hate I hope
30:22
no one's hearing but it's hard because
30:25
I'm mentally stuck I'm trying to
30:28
understand how to get through my trauma
30:30
my childhood trauma how to not bring it
30:33
down to my kids how to how to succeed
30:36
without being scared because I feel like
30:38
I start and I can never finish
30:41
I feel I start and I'm scared to proceed
30:44
because of failure
30:47
or negative opinions all of that scares
30:51
me and I'm just stuck you have you being
30:54
on the call right now I I need to know
30:56
how to build my self-worth and
30:58
confidence
31:00
so the first thing I would like for you
31:01
to do
31:02
what I did was I did EMDR therapy and
31:06
what it did for me was it helped me to
31:08
release
31:09
the trauma that is making the decisions
31:11
for me
31:12
so what I would like for you to do if
31:14
you have the resources to do so is to do
31:16
EMDR therapies and non-talk therapy and
31:19
it helps you to eliminate the trauma so
31:22
that you can choose better for your life
31:23
it will also give you kind of a piece to
31:26
be able to be more confident in yourself
31:28
it will also give you the ability to
31:32
connect with your children better to
31:34
connect with others better in your
31:35
professional space I want you to write
31:39
all your goals down in a notebook but I
31:42
don't want you writing not just words I
31:44
want you doing numbers so whatever it is
31:47
professional that you're doing right now
31:49
write those numbers down if you want to
31:51
make a hundred thousand dollars for the
31:52
year I want you to start with that and
31:55
the next step I want you to break those
31:58
numbers down into individual Parts
32:01
because what happened numbers
32:04
don't change numbers you can say I want
32:08
a lot of money you're a lot of money
32:09
might be different from my lot of money
32:11
so when you do numbers what will happen
32:14
you have a specific goal to work towards
32:16
and when it get hard
32:18
and hopefully you're spiritual like I am
32:20
just pray ask God for clearance ask him
32:23
for strength ask him for Prosperity ask
32:26
him for everything that you need and
32:28
just give your whole heart into it in
32:31
regards to your significant other who is
32:32
not as great as you would like for him
32:35
at the moment
32:36
find his love language feed his love
32:39
language and in you feeding his love
32:41
language hopefully he feeds yours back
32:43
and make sure he knows whatever your
32:45
love love language is tell him I only
32:48
receive love this way so if you're not
32:50
doing it this way I don't receive it so
32:53
if you if he's showing you love through
32:55
acts of service
32:56
but your love language quality time you
32:58
have to tell him you have to talk to me
33:00
you have to spend time with me and
33:02
hopefully in those those things will
33:04
help you better and next year when we
33:06

33:07

35:50
thank you for joining us today I got a
35:52
question
35:53
Sharika Joshua Sharika Jackson
35:57
Elaine Thomas Hera or Shelly Ann Fraser
36:07
who's the in
36:08
track and field right now for Jamaica
36:15
it's a Jamaican
36:22
what is it
36:24
to watch this dominance that these women
36:27
have had on track and field for so long
36:30
I'm a fan of all of them by the way so
36:32
am I all right uh what what has that
36:35
been like for Jamaica like the morale
36:37
and Jamaica when you go home you know
36:39
when the Americans that you know now
36:40
again there's always a jamaican-american
36:42
rivalry right I'm like well if we didn't
36:46
win that race we have an excuse because
36:48
we are this tiny where America is
36:50
ginormous so you're supposed to win
36:52
everything that's your excuse that's all
36:55
you got
36:55
that's all I got that's all I got that's
36:58
all you got I like that that was good
37:00
it's been amazing watching the Jamaican
37:02
team like we I remember when um well Ben
37:05
Johnson was Jamaican but he was Canadian
37:08
though so right he was right yes so I I
37:11
grew up watching track and field and
37:13
just to see what's happening now even
37:15
Noah Lyle's you know threatening Usain
37:18
Bolt's 200 meter record and all of these
37:20
you see these times now flojo records
37:23
Sharika uh almost broke the two
37:29
