New episodes Sundays wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Office Hours of ProfitG. This is the part of the show where we answer questions about business, big tech, entrepreneurship, and whatever else is on your mind. If you'd like to submit a question for next time, you can send a voice recording to OfficeAurs of ProfitG Media.com. Again, that's OfficeAurs of Profit Media.com or post your question on the Scott Galloway subreddit and we may feature it in our next episode.
