Powerful Quotes

Marketing is going to continue moving towards organic, raw, real people instead of these propped up, perfect images. ~Christian
The goal is to create good content and if money comes, that’s great. The money increases because it’s a byproduct of the energy and time you put into videos, and not, “I’m only making videos to make money.” ~Maxx
If you’re thinking, I don’t know if you’re ready to start, because if you really wanted to do it, you’d just do it. ~Maxx
Things take time. You have to be able to take some leaps and ask for many opinions. But after all of that, the biggest thing you have to believe will happen is that, out of everything you gather, you will decide what you think is best and take action on it. ~Christian
