| 0:03.1 | Workday is the next-gen ERP powered by AI that actually knows your business. |
| 0:08.4 | We help you handle the have-to-dos so you can focus on the can't-wait-to-dos. |
| 0:13.2 | It's a new workday. |
| 0:25.2 | This is part two of a two-part series on profitable paid challenges. |
| 0:30.6 | For today's episode, we're going to be more focused on how we actually structure the back end of our paid challenges and some of the things that I think make the experience |

| 1:47.2 | idea to income. And they can get their first paying student in the door by the end of our |
| 1:52.5 | challenge. This is very specific, right, because we're only focused on the pre-sell phase of their |
