NOTABLE QUOTES
· I'm a more like you mentioned a career learner, and a generalist. I love learning about as many things as possible.
· I see any social media channel as a living breathing animal. If you don't feed that animal good food, if you don't care, if you don't listen to that animal, if you don't engage with that animal, it's not going to grow or be your friend it is not going to grow and give you fruit, it's, just not going to add value for you.
