0:00.0	I'm Sophia Ammaruso, the founder and CEO of Girl Boss. And this is Girl Boss radio, the show for and about ambitious women, exploring the wins, losses, and insights learned on the winding
0:15.3	road to success.
0:21.0	By the time you hear this episode, it will be December, which is wild to think about, but I want you to go back to earlier this summer when everyone was jamming out to the biggest and badest songs of that season.

1:36.0	Here's a little bit of that moment.
