“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.”

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I can feel her resurrecting. The one he thought he had killed. Strength realised in her resting. It was worth all the blood spilled.

I need a wolf, a beast with a ravenous appetite. Devour me like desperate goods. Ravage me my warrior lover, mark your territory. I’m not a typical lover, I’m a woman with a taste for blood.

Poems and pictures blood and light everything worth feeling twice is bound with such a price.

The spilling of blood is payment for the joy that is to come.

She is the fertile earth that blooms rubies with her blood and honor.

Fashion is in my blood. I feel more sexy and beautiful with it.

She is a voice that can never be silenced, even if her echoes are transformed from blood and ink to rare gems.

The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood.
