“Good salespeople sell value and social media is the best place to find this value because of its transparency.”

For business, our internet love affair was a gift from the gods.

Skills are cheap. Passion is priceless.

I influence anybody who is able to get through the chaos of my first impression.

Make every decision based on your last years of life instead of your next 10.

If you do not care about your end user immensely, especially in the next few years, your brand will die.

The incredible brand awareness and bottom-line profits achievable through social media marketing require hustle, heart, sincerity, constant engagement, long-term commitment, and most of all, artful and strategic storytelling.

Social media is not a fad because it’s human.

Company culture is the backbone of any successful organization.

The chef that grew up with the grandma who cooks tends to always beat the chef that went to the culinary institute. It’s in the blood.

Company culture is a religion, not a sermon.

Content is king, but marketing is queen, and runs the household.

On Facebook, the definition of great content is not the content that makes the most sales, but the content that people most want to share with others.

It’s still so rare for anyone to be personally acknowledged by a brand that the impact of such a simple, polite gesture on a customer’s buying habits could be huge.

Word of mouth works now, much more than ever. @-reply every single person.

Storytelling is the game. It’s what we all do. It’s why Nike is Nike, it’s why Apple is Apple, it’s why Walt Disney built Disney World and it’s why Vince McMahon makes a billion dollars.

Your story isn’t powerful enough if all it does is lead the horse to water; it has to inspire the horse to drink, too. On social media, the only story that can achieve that goal is one told with native content.

Let us not try to be the best or worst of others, but let us make the effort to be the best of ourselves.

Wish them the very best and let them walk away.

The best way to be misunderstood is to care too much.

Now if only at my worst had I known I was about to be at my best.

If you’re forced to walk on knives in a world where they’re sharpened, wear your best heels.

You were the best and worst nights of my life fucking while the flames lick us at least you’re a distraction from my spiritual death. You’re a god damn angel in a crack den.

I was pushed to my limit and it almost broke my spirit I know change is for the best but there’s a part of me I haven’t left I’m taking time to love this mind of mine.

Silence is the best storyteller.
