"what is fucking twitter?"

"What is fucking twitter? It's way more about answering and communicating than it is about talking... Jack, Jack, what social media and the internet is, is it's the first great listening tool.

Starting a Business

"How do you get money to do what you love? You don't. I lost a shitload of money when I started doing what I loved. What you do, is you position yourself to succeed. So for example, if you're doing something else and you want to do this thing you love, you do it after hours. You work 9 to 6, you get home, you kiss the dog, and you go to town. You start building your equity and your brand and everything you want to accomplish. I mean, everyone has time. Stop watching fucking Lost."
