05:48 “He was really early on the podcast scene. So his podcast, you kind of scroll down the main page, 60 million-plus downloads. That alone, it’s nuts. And he’s able to drive so much traffic in all of his affiliate offers.”

12:27 “It doesn’t strike me that his site has been built for acquisition. It feels to me like it’s about conversion. In other words, if you’ve got 60 million podcast downloads, you’ve got that rate.”

12:49 “I don’t think this website anymore is designed to draw new people in. I think people he’s got, I think this is about building up his personal brand and trust.”

17:02 “Video allows people to watch and say, do I believe this person? Do I think they’re full of crap or do they seem honest? You can pick up on a lot of that through video so I think anything with video is going to remain relevant.”

23:45 “I get very little through LinkedIn so for my business it’s not a significant platform. It’s like Facebook really. It’s really a pay to play space now. It doesn’t have the reach it used to have.” —————————–
