Quotables:

“We just need to get it out there and now people can start finding.”

“The more you know your audience, the more you can answer their questions, the more you can put out there the knowledge you can help them, as they’re looking for help, you can pull people in that you don’t even know.”

“So many people are knocking on locked doors and screaming in deaf ears, but they have something so valuable. You are allowing them to reach the people who need them.”

“People who share their own knowledge, we need to write our own content.”

“With SEO, it’s about answering the right questions and the things people are looking for.”

“I see so many opportunities for things we need to be built.”

“Your ability to do the brave thing - to give it a try and put it out there - low and beyond, you’re changing lives.”

“What stops me from stopping is when someone says ‘yes, this is a good idea.’”

“The places you could have said ‘no’ but said ‘yes,’ and overcoming all the things along the way, are nothing short of incredible.”
