[24:16] In Part 2 of Toastmasters 100, Chief Executive Officer Daniel Rex returns as our special guest. This time, Dan joins us to discuss the organization's centennial celebrations and how World Headquarters has compiled a variety of resources and action items to help you explore, celebrate, and learn from the past 100 years of Toastmasters history. You'll also hear personal stories that may enlighten, inspire, or even make you laugh.
Dan will also tell us about Toastmasters' book Confident Voices: The Story of Toastmasters. It’s a beautifully crafted, 454-page hardcover full of photos, maps, historical illustrations, and so much more.
For those who enjoy consuming media in a video format, we'll hear about the new 45-minute documentary, 100 Years of Confident Voices. This video also explores Toastmasters history, but in a different way than the book. It's free and available to watch on YouTube, and there's a 2-minute trailer to give you a taste.
