Quotes

“I like thinking about it as just sending people letters.” – Björgvin Benediktsson

“I said ‘well guys, I have something to confess. I have an email list with 30,000 people on it . . . and I’ve never emailed them.’” – Chris Graham

“There’s the groups that are just tryin’ to sell their services and hawk their shit at you, and then there’s the group that sponsors the group. They’re the ones that make the group possible, they’re the ones that actively invest themselves, they’re actively participating, they’re adding value.” – Brian Hood
