| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome back to this weekend startups. We're doing our startup basic series. |
| 0:07.8 | And in this series, we're going to just focus on customers because at the end of the day, |
| 0:12.2 | when you build a startup, you're really working on three things. A team that builds a product, |
| 0:17.6 | that will engage customers. And that's going to be our topic today with me again, Tiffany |
| 0:22.4 | Bova, who is the global growth and innovation evangelist at Salesforce for the past five |
| 0:27.3 | years. She's the author of GrowifyQ, gets smarter about the choices that will make or break |
| 0:31.8 | your business. And she's the host of the What's Next podcast. Welcome back to the program, |
| 0:36.4 | Tiffany. Oh, thank you, Jason. Our last time we talked about customer experience, now we're |

| 1:27.0 | engagement or is that connection? And then it's, you know, dear Tiffany Bova, is that engagement or |
| 1:33.0 | is that connection? And then if it's dear Tiffany, I know you've done these five things with us over |
| 1:37.4 | the last six months. Others like you, you know, might want to do or have done this. We think it would |
| 1:42.9 | be really great for you. Here's the benefits for you. Okay, was that connection or was that engagement? |
| 1:47.5 | Yeah, I'm feeling engaged just from the copy that you wrote there on the fly. |
