Quotes

"Without knowing who you really want to serve, who you find fulfillment in, and then understanding what is it that they need – how can video help them (or whatever line of work that you might be in) – when you can know those things then you have a mission.” [12:47]

“Newsflash! The only secret sauce is you. Everybody can find all the things that they want on YouTube… for free.” [26:15]

“Go ugly early. Don’t wait until your website is done. Don’t wait until you’ve got the perfect email funnel. Don’t wait until you’ve got your favorite logo. Don’t wait until your demo reel is finished and perfect. Ship it, stop holding back, stop not doing the thing that you feel really called to do because you want it to be perfect.” [36:31]
