Solved: Error When Following C++ Objects Youtube Lesson

I am getting an error while following along with:

I am currently at 27:02 and cannot figure out what I’ve done wrong. I’ve compiled whenever the instructor has compiled and each time it worked.

Here is my code:

#include <iostream>
using std::string;
class Employee {

public:
	string Name;
	string Company;
	int Age;


	// Here is where we have method:
	void IntroduceYourself(){
		std::cout << "Name - " << Name << std::endl;
		std::cout << "Company - " << Company << std::endl;
		std::cout << "Age - " << Age << std::endl;
	}

		// Constructor Method
	Employee(string name, string company, int age) {
			Name = name;
			Company = company;
			Age = age;

		}

};

int main(){
// errors in this block
	Employee employee1 = Employee('Saldina', 'YT-CodeBeauty', 25);
	employee1.IntroduceYourself();
	Employee employee1 = Employee('John', 'Amazon', 35);
	employee2.IntroduceYourself();

}

Two errors follow the assignment operators in main():
When I hover over Employee I get this error:
class Employee
no instance of constructor
“Employee::Employee” matches the argument
list – argument types are: (int, int, int)C/C++(289)

And the third error is probably caused by the same problem:
When I hover over employee2, in main():
identifier “employee2” is undefined C/C++(20)

I am using Visual Studio Code on a Linux machine but I believe Constructors should work the same as on a Windows machine.

A few things to get you started:
