Startup Valuations: "You can sell it for whatever you want. You can sell it whenever you want. You can sell for $10,000,000, all cash to a private equity firm with 90-day transition period, you're out, and then you just get to do whatever you want with your life. " — Andrew Gazdecki (05:51)
Understanding Business Acquisitions: "So if you can structure, you know, an acquisition with favorable terms like that, that's the way to go. And that I'd say that's probably the most common is cash in close with some component of, maybe a little bit of seller financing at the end, 80% cash in close, 20% seller financing with 3 to 6 month transition depending on the size of the business." — Andrew Gazdecki (19:14)

EXCERPTS:
Choosing Fonts for Personal Branding: "They don't have to be the same. I think it's it's really about what appeals to you, what speaks to you. It's just one thing to kind of know about these things that people will feel a certain way. Not that you need to make a choice based on what people feel." — Nate Kadlac (19:04)
Design Tips from Experts: "A designer's secret is that most of us never use pure black or pure white. Our eyes read better like text that's just slightly off that black end is is a little bit more readable because it's not high contrast. High contrast tires our eyes out and we want to use it for design to kind of like grab attention." — Nate Kadlac (28:31)

EXCERPTS:
The Power of Endorsement: "When somebody has a hard-won credibility or trust with a target audience that you also want to reach, rather than going to the outside market and speculating money on advertising, if you can first find out who already has the relationship with that audience, who's already gone through all the credibility building. You can get the benefit of all of that accrued to you instantaneously for nothing and only pay for results." — Jay Abraham (06:58)
Leveraging External Resources: "You're using everybody else's relationships with their audience, their distribution channels, their databases, their brand association, their salesforces, their retailers, their distributors, their assets, and you can get access to millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars for no investment or risk." — Jay Abraham (14:24)

EXCERPTS:
Effective Strategy Approach: "So I think there's a lot of trust in what we're doing right now because of the approach we've taken and the people that we chose to partner with first vs. doing something that's more of the celebrity-driven kind of vast-market creator approach." — Hunter Hammonds (15:58)

Building Trust Online: "Building trust is probably the hardest thing to do online right now because there's a lot of crazy people out there, and, they're all saying crazy stuff. And if you can build trust, that will make it so much easier for you. It just open a lot of doors." — Yong-Soo Chung (01:51:20)
