| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Do This Not That, the podcast for marketers. |
| 0:05.0 | Each episode is packed with quick tips. |
| 0:08.0 | They're super short and at the end we have some fun. |
| 0:11.0 | Let's jump into it and thanks for being here. |
| 0:14.0 | We are back for Do This Not That podcast presented by Marigold. |
| 0:18.0 | And I want to talk about something that's not going well for me |
| 0:21.7 | that I'm failing at. And I'm totally cool with that. And that is my YouTube strategy. Now, |
| 0:27.7 | who cares? I don't care about YouTube. So first off, I'm definitely going to break down why you |
| 0:32.3 | should care about YouTube and why I care about YouTube. But more important than that, this idea of being comfortable failing, sharing your |
| 0:40.9 | failure, and making sure that as you go through your failure, you're taking certain steps |

| 1:31.2 | with another human being anymore. |
| 1:33.5 | If all you're doing is everything is awesome, it's like the Lego movie. |
| 1:37.3 | Everything is not always awesome. |
| 1:39.5 | It just isn't. |
| 1:40.5 | So what am I up to and why does YouTube even? And what are the important steps while you're failing? |
