All right, let's take a second to talk about our sponsor today, HubSpot.

0:04.0

They have two new AI tools that are pretty cool I want to tell you about.

0:06.5

So the first one is Content Assistant.

0:09.1

So we know that Content's key for driving revenue because you write content, you get traffic,
