Tweetable Quotes
- “User-owned networks will grow faster and become more valuable than corporate-owned networks or investor-owned networks.”
- “My framework to storytelling is to iterate, iterate, iterate until it feels like you can feel the reaction is like yeses and nods and smiles.”
- “If you can't explain in a sentence why what you're doing matters to who's listening, the odds are that every sentence you say after that, they're tuned out.”
- “If you can't convey why, what you do matters to who it should matter to, you may as well not do it.”
- “The whole world is driven by storytelling.”
- “Brands, sales pitches, whatever, they have to have an emotional reaction. And if they don't, the reaction will be boredom and apathy.”
