| 0:00.0 | You have to at some point the company switch from having all these one-off conversations to broadcasting communication. |
| 0:07.2 | I'm going to say, what do I need to communicate to the broader group? |
| 0:09.9 | What needs to be communicated to my executives, to my leaders, to a certain department, to Alex, whoever it might be. |
| 0:19.6 | What's up? Welcome back to build. And today I want to talk about getting your company from version |
| 0:24.0 | 1.0 to version 2.0. So this podcast is inspired by a newsletter that I just wrote from my company |
| 0:31.1 | because every week, well actually not every other week, every other week, we do a full all hands. |
| 0:36.8 | And then the weeks in between, we do a full all hands, and then the weeks in |

| 1:22.9 | want to write that in the newsletter this week. And so after I was writing it, I was like, man, |
| 1:28.3 | I think a lot more people need to hear this and we need to talk about it more because |
| 1:32.3 | the biggest thing that I realized when I was building my first business is I remember |
| 1:35.9 | reading the stat that said that only 5% of people that are in year one of a company are going to |
| 1:41.8 | make it to year five when it's a fast growth company. |
