[52:41] Al Elliott: I feel like I should say other HR agencies are available
[52:46] Leanne Elliott: And not sponsored
[52:47] Al Elliott: It's not sponsored, but I think that this, hopefully this will become a relatively semi-regular thing because there's lots of questions that come in that just, you know, certainly I'm not qualified to, and I think you say that you're better to. Defer to an HR specialist. Okay, so that is all for now. Join us next Tuesday. In fact, well, join us on Thursday for an interview. You know what happens on Thursdays. We've got a great interview this week. Oh my God, I'm so looking forward to Thursday's interview. We— I was a bit starstruck because essentially I'm not giving anything away, I don't think, here, but there's a number 1 spot on the management podcast in the UK, and it kind of alternated over the last 6 weeks between this person and us. So yes, welcome Stephen Bartlett. No, he's not. We've got a great guy for you next week. Um, we are going to be doing something different, as I mentioned, in September— in August, Leanne?
[53:36] Leanne Elliott: Yeah, as of from next, next Tuesday, we're going to be taking a little bit of a, a bit of leave as well, which means that our Tuesdays are going to be a bit lighter, a bit more chatty. So with that, if you've got a question you've always wanted to ask Al and I, maybe it's about living abroad, maybe it's about working abroad, maybe it's about working with your partner and how you make all that work without killing each other, how to travel with dogs while working, um, any questions like that, we'd We'd be up for answering
[53:59] Al Elliott: How to do a pod on the road. How to do a podcast on the road. How to do a podcast on the road
[54:02] Leanne Elliott: If you want some insider podcasting secrets, we are not gatekeepers. We will tell you everything we know
[54:08] Becky Simms: Open book
[54:09] Leanne Elliott: Yeah. And then probably some of the little funny things in there as well. We've had some people reach out to us recently who have got books being launched and stuff that we're very excited about. So, we might start some kind of summer book club maybe
[54:19] Al Elliott: Yeah, that's a great idea
[54:20] Leanne Elliott: Yeah, I don't know. It's still in development, but we'll be here next Tuesday in some form
[54:26] Al Elliott: And what I can promise is that next Tuesday will also still be in development. It'll be in a flow. It'll be, it'll be liquid. We'll see how it goes
[54:33] Leanne Elliott: Loosey-goosey
[54:34] Al Elliott: Loosey-goosey. So do the things, you know, subscribe, like, tell all your friends, post about us on LinkedIn. Go and see Leanne. Go and check out Leanne on LinkedIn. She is killing it at the moment. Some of these posts she comes out with, I'll be honest, some of the posts she did like 12 months ago, I was like, oh, that's nice. These ones, every one that comes out, I read and I quite often comment, which is not like me
[54:53] Leanne Elliott: You don't often comment actually, but what you will say to me is you'll look at me and go, do you know what I like about your LinkedIn? I'll actually— no, my name's Leanne. Do you know what I like about your LinkedIn, Leanne? I actually want to read your shit. Thanks very much. And the BrewDog thing that we spoke about on the podcast, I posted about that and it kicked off
[55:09] Al Elliott: Yes, we're getting sued by BrewDog. So more on that next week. We'll see you soon. Bye-bye
