I went online with winelibrary.com in July of 1997; that was my first professional online play.

Part of why you love your parents is because they loved you first. Brands need to do that.

Relationships are leverage. If you give value to someone else first, you have leverage.

The reason we love our parents is because they loved us first. Every single company should take this advice.

You didn't grow up driving...you figured it out.

I think the acquisition of consumers might be on the verge of being mapped. The battlefield is going to be retention and lifetime value.
blog brand building business gave personal surrounded totally
Winelibrary.tv was about building personal brand equity. It was a business move. Now, it was totally surrounded by a passion for wine, but I very much gave a lot of thought to doing a sports-video blog instead.
building due hours national online people spent success talking videos
My store, Wine Library, outsells big national chains. How do you think we do it? It started with hustle. I always say that our success wasn't due to my hundreds of online videos about wine that went viral, but to the hours I spent talking to people online afterward, making connections and building relationships.
cool learning people
People are more comfortable learning about wine because now they can just Google, you know, 'Soave,' and say, 'Oh, O.K., cool.'
next people
People don't want to embrace culture shifts because it's not going to happen in the next 20 minutes.
far marketers operating trying work
Here's how I work: It's 2013, and most marketers are operating like it's 2009. I'm always trying to market like it's 2015, but not like it's 2020. A lot of my contemporaries who understand where the world is going, go too far out, and aren't practical. I have always prided myself on being visionary, with a heavy practicality.
anyone betting social
Think of social media as the Internet. I can't think of anyone betting against the Internet in 2012.
