Hey everyone, welcome back to Cubicle to CEO, the podcast, where we ask top entrepreneurs,

the business questions you can't Google. I'm your host, Ellen, and today we're back for

a second bonus episode. So regularly on Mondays, we post guest interviews, but on Wednesdays, we get to kind of

get creative and explore questions in the spirit of things that you can Google. We get to

the sense that I didn't filter right for any sort of parameters. So there could be

to online. However, I do feel that regardless, even if you're taking the poll results with a grain of

salt, that there were some really excellent insights shared in these poll results and answers

that have a lot of merit. And I think this conversation will be especially helpful to you if you

are an entrepreneur that has a product or service with recurring

charges. So if you're a course creator with payment plans, if you are a membership site owner,
