[5:42] Al Elliott: Let's just start with For Working Parents, which I think is the organization or company you've started. Can you just tell us what led you to start it and tell us a bit more about it?
[5:51] Amit Singh Kalley: So I used to be a vice principal in a secondary school and then decided almost overnight, although not quite as dramatic as that, to leave education, leave my job, and then sort of slowly thought that I've built all this experience working with parents and working with young people over all these years. that there is something to do for parents, but from a different angle. And so I retrained as a coach, started doing some speaking and some keynotes, and then sort of wound up almost accidentally setting up this business for working parents, which is all about creating an inclusive workspace for parents and carers, whether that's through storytelling, whether it's through coaching or training or upskilling, you know, helping parents understand the 21st century challenges better. And ultimately understanding how they might be able to parent more effectively in this digital age that our children live in
