Do it because you love it. Build a brand and create content that people like, and all that stuff will naturally fall into place. So many people like to jump the gun, like, ‘I have a 100 followers. Sponsor me.’ That’s not how it works. The key for everybody is return on investment.” ~Greg Wong [43:00] “Look to add value to someone’s life. Don’t [become an influencer] because you want to add value to your own life.” ~Arwin [43:48] “We live in an interesting time. While we’re really lucky to be living in this day and age, we still shouldn’t take what’s available to us for granted because things can go south overnight. The COVID-19 pandemic is demonstrating this. Gun rights and basic necessities? It’s only now that people really appreciate their necessity. Don’t prepare for when the birds are singing and the sun’s out; prepare for when shit hits the fan.” ~Greg Wong [59:46]
