| 0:00.0 | What's up? Welcome to SideHussell School. This is Chris Gillabo. Hey, this week we're |
| 0:08.4 | beginning to look at messaging. One of the things I mentioned in the classroom episode |
| 0:12.4 | the other day, that would be episode 1143, is that when it comes to standing out and becoming |
| 0:17.4 | attractive to customers, it's not just what you sell, it's how you talk about it. Okay, |
| 0:22.4 | so today's question relates precisely to that topic, that topic of branding. It's from |
| 0:26.7 | someone who's trying to solve a problem with her project's identity, specifically its name. |

| 1:46.9 | but I would like to transition to my own website once it is finished. My question is, |
| 1:52.3 | is it too late to change my business name? I originally picked this name, Pix to Pix, for another |
| 1:58.2 | business idea. It was chosen because I took pictures of textures and turned them into digital art |
