07:41 “I just know that any of us that want to be successful with Facebook ads moving forward, if we can’t figure this out, it’s going to be tough. Like if you’re just going into that box and typing teacher, because you want to reach teachers, that’s not going to cut it because guess what? That’s what everybody else is doing. And then you’re going to be competing against every other person in the market, trying to reach the same audience as you are.” Molly Pittman.
