New episodes every Monday. Before we get started, I wanted to share two important things with you. First, I want you to implement what you learn today. To do that, you'll have to take a lot of notes, but I also want you to fully concentrate on the interview, so I asked the team to take notes for you. Just text notes, N-O-T-E-S, to eight eight eight five two six one two nine nine. That's eight eight eight five two six one two nine nine, and you'll receive a link to download the notes from today's episode.
