Ad · BetterHelp

0:10Check them out in the description or at lexfriedman.com/slash sponsors.

0:14It is, in fact, the best way to support this podcast.

0:17We've got Upwork for hiring quality freelancers, NetSuite for business management software, Shopify for selling stuff online, Element for Electrolytes, BetterHelp for mental health, and a new sponsor, Plaud.

0:31New as a sponsor, but I've been using them for a long time.

0:34It's the amazing AI-powered note-taking device.

0:39And of course, our friend Perplexity for curiosity-driven knowledge exploration.

0:44Choose Wisely, my friends.

0:46And now, onto the full ad reads.

0:48I try to make them interesting, but if you skip, please still check out the sponsors.

0:52I enjoy their stuff.

0:53Maybe you will too.
