NOTABLE QUOTES:

"If you get asked the same question three times by 3 different people, it's time to create a course."

"Just because someone knows something doesn't mean that they know how to say it."

"Every video should do a job, whether that's to communicate a message, share a point, or something."

"You may have clarity in your branding, your messaging, and who you're helping with. But the refinement of that message is always going to come into question with the introduction of new platforms and change or shift in audience."

"If your content sucks, even an expensive microphone or camera will not help you."

"If you're not committed, and you don't make video a priority in what you're doing. It's always dismissible."

"Consistency issues are just a result of commitment issues. If you're not committed to a thing, then you can always be inconsistent with it."

"Sometimes we are so consumed with external thoughts and other people's voices that we even do not hear our voice. We don't know what we're thinking."

"Relationships are always about making sure that there is some level of understanding and equality in that way to where when I'm with you, I'm fully present and being with you. And the other person also has an enjoyable time."
