- [09:15] The second thing is how to go from 0 to 60. Aprille walks you through how to do this.
- [14:59] The third is to avoid getting stuck wondering how this is relevant for your business. Don't discount the things that make you who you are.
- [17:32] The fourth, identify what your audience needs to know next.
