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

Market like the year you are in.

True success – financial, personal, and professional – lies above all in loving your family, working hard, and living your passion. In telling your story. In authenticity, hustle, and patience. In caring fiercely about the big and the small stuff. In valuing legacy over currency.

The truth is that finding happiness in what you do every day is so imperative.

Someone with less passion and talent and poorer content can totally beat you if they’re willing to work longer and harder than you are. Hustle is it.

The best marketing strategy ever: CARE

Do what makes you happy. Keep it simple. Do the research. Work hard. Look ahead.

Storytelling is by far the most underrated skill in business.

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

Skills are cheap. Passion is priceless.

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.
