Notable Quotes:
“A vivid vision becomes a five-page document that describes every aspect of your company three years in the future. It describes how your company looks, how your company feels, how your company acts… It’s a real description as if you’re walking around your company, describing what you see without knowing how it comes true.”
– Cameron Herold
“What I realized was every media outlet—whether it’s a blogger or a podcast or a magazine or a newspaper or radio station, whatever—every single media outlet makes their money one way and one way only: and that’s from advertising. And the only way they sell advertising is by having more viewers or more readers or more listeners, so they need good content to attract their audience. So you’re actually doing them a favor if you’re giving them good content, because they can’t afford to go out and spend money to go get the content.”
– Cameron Herold
