0:00.0	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,

0:59.2	Or you can ask it to do things like, hey, draft a email follow up to this prospect.
