¡Buena entrevista!

Donc, pour que les choses soient claires, la seule solution pour réussir son immigration, c'est d'entrer dans « l'ascenseur social » du néolibéralisme ? Charmant programme... Qu'est-ce que ça vient faire dans la chaîne de Notion ?

[@draushaus712]

What does this have to do with Notion? Does he use Notion to operate his business?🤔

[@rcids1]

I feel is more like Notion as a synonym for 'startup' and 'entrepreneurship' ecosystem.

These types of videos are a dime a dozen. Focus on properly integrating notion with notion calendar, instead of doing the millionth variant of start-up interviews
