0:00.0	What if every promotion you've ever been passed over for went to someone who is simply better at building allies?
0:06.0	You've been there. The meeting where your brilliant idea gets ignored. The promotion went to someone
0:10.8	less qualified but more connected. Watching colleagues with half your experience become the go-to

0:27.2	After early success on Wall Street and scaling his company cross-campus into LA's premier co-working network with seven locations and over 3,000 members,
