| 0:09.6 | cash flow can make or break you. So if your money gets tied up, if your tools don't connect, |
| 0:14.1 | every decision feels unnecessarily stressful. Maybe it's time to switch to Intuit QuickBooks's |

| 0:44.2 | How can you sell on a platform like Next Door? Next Door. This is a popular app, at least in the United States. I'm not sure if it is worldwide or not. There's probably some others. So if you're in a different region, there's probably some app that basically is designed for local communication with your neighbors, you know, with people on the same street, |

| 1:24.9 | of people using this platform to sell. One of them was episode |
