Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.48,0:01:21.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,notes like this. I first started sketchnoting\Nbecause of
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.49,0:01:24.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a man named Mike Rohde. He's a designer who
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.21,0:01:27.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lives in the midwest, and he coined the term
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.44,0:01:29.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sketchnoting. I was preparing to go to South\Nby

Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.29,0:01:47.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I just went into this rabbithole of looking

Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.62,0:01:56.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started practicing. I did it at that South
