0:13.1

So I'm just going to share a couple of things.

0:14.9

I'm not going to share all five.

0:16.0

Yeah.

0:16.6

I'm going to share all five. I'm going to go with the one that's most interesting to me first. So some topics do much better than others on LinkedIn. What do you think they are on LinkedIn?
