| 0:00.0 | If you have a business or plan on starting one, the easy button for your business's success is a personal brand. |
| 0:06.8 | If you're not building it, if you're not planning on building it, then you're going to be left behind. |
| 0:12.0 | And really, the reason for this is because when it comes to business, business is built on no like and trust. |
| 0:19.4 | And what better way to learn from one of the best personal brands out there |
| 0:24.1 | when it comes to businesses? And this is kind of a new format of the department. My name is |
