0:00.0	What's up everyone? This is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and executive chairman of Morning Brew.
0:05.5	Welcome back to Founders Journal, my personal audio diary, where I give you the business builder,
0:10.8	the tools you need to think better in order to build better, whether that's building a business,
0:15.7	a team, or a new product. This week on Founders Journal, we're doing things a little differently.
0:21.9	We are dropping a mini-series about dealing with conflict. We're talking about everything from
