Quotes
“So I write this book and then I turn it into an ebook, and right about then, like, Google hit the hockey stick and it just turned into this crazy magic carpet ride. Like, the whole world discovered that the English language is for sale, and the French, and the German, and Spanish. Right? And, like, this thing just went supernova, and Google went supernova, and like, I just kind of rode the coattails and I hung on for dear life.” (16:54)
“I know how to explain things. I’m a marketing guy. And that’s why I wrote Evolution 2.0...This is literally the first book ever published that correctly explains how evolution works, that you don’t have to be a PhD to understand it.” (45:26)
