Quotes

“I think it’s something that anybody, any creator needs to think about, right?  I mean, when you create anything, I don’t care if it’s a podcast or artwork or whatever, you have to have a why behind it.  And if the why iis not big enough, it’s going to be hard to do what you do.”  (19:01)

“It was a phrase I learned a long time ago.  ‘It’s a pitiful frog that doesn’t praise its own pond.’  If you don’t like where you are, you need to get up and move.  And if you do like where you are, then you need to dig your heels in and put some time in.” (31:29)

“Even if you create a podcast and you get 500 downloads a week, or 500 download a month, that’s like you being in an audience with 500 people that are listening to what you have to say.”  (42:22)

“I feel like if we could do it, knowing what we knew and building this out, like it should inspire anyone to be able to take those same steps and build a successful business.” (11:13)

Quotes

“The hand selection, the hand vetting of influencers and the way you, you know, create an application process for an influencer to partner with a brand is extremely important that they feel comfortable.  You know, that the brand persona fits their audience persona, that the demographics align, and that you know they actually believe and stand behind these products.  And then it does work, and it works very effectively that way.” (16:58)

“When it comes to promoting products, I think it’s people just being passionate about what they have and what they do, and what is making them better.  And that’s what we’re doing with our jobs too, you know.  I feel like they’re just getting to do it solo.” (19:31)

“I love it because I’m passionate about it, and seeing other people coming in regularly and just beginning to sort of go ‘I had that wine. It was beautiful, can you suggest another? Can we look at something else? Give me another region.’” (21:10) 

“A lot of people go into the liquor stores, which I define as different to what I am, which is a fine wine store.  They go in and buy the same product every time, nobody gives them assistance.  The majority of my clientele, I probably spend 10 minutes with each client.  I have that ability to do.  So therefore, it’s that they want to learn more.”  (22:25)

Quotes

“Don’t feel like you have to create content every single day.  You’re creating maybe once a week, or maybe you’re doing it in batch for the whole month, but don’t get into the cycle of feeling like I’m always behind.” (14:54) 

“If you can then just create once and then it automatically promotes for you, I mean you’re obviously able to then focus on the next thing.”  (15:28)

“Don’t be discouraged when you go live.  Even if nobody’s there.  Hey, you just created a video. Done.  You just record it, done.  And then you can repurpose that into 20, 25 pieces of content relatively easily.”  (26:27)
