0:00.0	What's up, everyone? This is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and executive chairman of Morning Brew.
0:05.4	Welcome back to Founders Journal, my personal audio diary, where I give you the business builder,
0:10.9	the tools you need to think better in order to build better, whether that's building a business,
0:15.4	a team, or a new product. So I need to share an update, and that is, for the next little while,
0:21.0	we're going to be republishing classic episodes of Founders Journal. Two reasons. One,
0:27.2	because these are really good episodes that I spend a lot of time on, and with so many new

1:30.4	but I'll set the scene. Last night, after dinner, I was spending some time thinking about the
1:36.3	strategy for Morning Brews soon to be launched paid product. Without going into too much detail,
1:42.7	the product is a membership that helps accelerate emerging business leaders careers.
1:48.0	It is a combination of content, community, and events, and the initial team will include a
1:53.8	product manager, a lead editor, and a community editor. So anyway, I was spending some time
1:59.6	thinking about how we can organize all of these ideas that we've thought of over the last few
