0:00.0	Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen podcast. I'm Jason Wackib, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.
0:07.1	When you can't quite get the angle, take hands-free selfies with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5,
0:12.4	stand it up, step back, and your photos are also synced to your Chromebook, ready to edit.
0:18.0	The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Chromebook, available on Vodafone.
0:22.5	Hitendra Wadwa is the founder of the Mentora Institute and Foundation and a professor
