Quotes

“Video is the most leverageable tool. You film something once and you can share it millions of times over. You can also strip the audio, you can transcribe it, make a book out of it, or a blog, or whatever. It’s a beautiful tool.” – Andrew McCombe

“When you find something you’re really passionate about, and you can share that with people, it doesn’t really feel like a business. It just kind of naturally happens” – Tim Hyde

“The more specific you are in terms of what you want, the more likely you are to get and attract that thing — and repel the thing that you don’t want.” – Tim Hyde

“When you combine your passion with your talents, you provide the most value.” – Andrew McCombe

“Have a call to action. Send people from your content to another thing — to a call, to an ebook, to an assessment, to a meeting, to a whatever — move people from your content to something else, because the content itself won’t make you the money.” – Tim Hyde

“You cannot beat having databases. I’d much rather have a database than a heap of views on a video.” – Andrew McCombe
