| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Do This, Not That, the podcast from marketers. |
| 0:05.0 | We share quick tips, things you can do right now, and then we add a little bit of chaos at the end of every episode. |
| 0:11.0 | We also keep it short, like this intro. Let's check it out. |
| 0:15.0 | We are back for Do This, Not That, and we have an incredible human being here. Who's here? We have Alex |
| 0:22.8 | Katoni. Now, maybe you know Alex by her other name, the copy posse. She is a huge deal. |
| 0:28.9 | She might be one of the most recognizable names in the world of copywriting. Her YouTube channel's |
| 0:34.8 | ridiculous. I have like four followers. She has over 400,000. |

| 1:28.6 | wrong things. Before I do that, give me the 60 second. What the hell do you actually do for a living? |
| 1:35.3 | What do I do? Well, obviously, I spend a lot of time writing words and making videos if I had to |
| 1:41.2 | break it down. But really, I am on a mission, as you said, to |
