01:30:44 Applying the key lessons:

1. Successful people all have an optimistic mindset. Optimism is a belief that life will be, in the long run, more good than bad, that even when bad things happen, the good will eventually outbalance them.

2. Relationships run the world. Invest heavily in relationships, build a seamless web of trust, find the most talented people you possibly can and work with them forever because relationships run the world. 

3. Doing the right thing, consistently, will get you the opportunity to win. if you do everything, you will win. only those who remain consistent, who do everything - will be the ones getting up after the loss, trying again, and - as luck has it - will stumble upon an opportunity eventually.
