0:00.0	Look at what famous people are doing, if you want to be famous, and then do that.
0:04.8	Hey everybody, welcome to the Business Made Simple Podcast brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast
0:12.3	network. I am your host, Donald Miller. I get people coming up to me and they want to build a
0:17.5	personal platform. In some ways, most of the people on Instagram are trying to build a personal
0:22.7	platform and I just see it going wrong. I just see it over and over. Very sophisticated,
0:29.5	intelligent people dancing like they were on TikTok. We're building a personal platform by
0:35.9	talking about and doing the things online that are trending. And what happens is you end up

1:33.8	them by the way. They don't flip them. And I love that because he's just committed to creating
1:38.4	great place to work for all of your employees. But the bottom line is if you're saying, I don't know
