0:13.3	Today's talk comes from Brad Gems.
0:17.6	We're going to bring a talk today called Becoming an Influencer. What's the reaction?
0:24.2	Let me look around. I wonder what it was at 515 in it, Trill. Becoming an Influencer. Who is on that
0:32.6	track, desiring to be an Influencer? No, it's few of you, okay? More of us in our heart because
