| 0:00.0 | This episode is brought to you by Slack. With Slack, you can bring all your people and |
| 0:05.9 | tools together in one place. It's your digital HQ where you can increase productivity, |
| 0:11.1 | enable flexibility and automate workflows. Plus, Slack is full of game-changing features, |
| 0:16.9 | like huddles for quick check-ins, or Slack Connect, which helps you connect with partners |
