| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone, I'm Patrick O'Shaunasey and I'm excited to announce that starting next week, |
| 0:08.3 | we will be expanding the Colossus family of podcasts with the launch of business breakdowns. |
| 0:13.3 | Be sure to click the link available in the show notes to subscribe to business breakdowns |
| 0:17.0 | on your favorite podcast player. Business breakdowns is exactly what it sounds like, |
| 0:20.8 | a new series that dives deep into a single business. We believe that every business has secrets |
| 0:25.7 | and lessons to learn from and our job is to bring those to life in each episode. We started creating |

| 1:28.0 | After that, we'll be releasing a new episode every Wednesday. So look out for upcoming episodes on |
| 1:33.0 | Visa, Costco, Twilio, Coupon and more. Business breakdowns is also part of something much bigger. |
| 1:39.7 | We've realized that the deep dives we want to create fall into a number of categories. |
| 1:43.8 | Businesses are only one unit of exploration. We'll also be exploring entire industries like |
