“..In an era where
everyone has the
same tools, the only
thing worth fighting
for is attention. And
you win attention
with content — not
code…”
“..Even in highly tech-
enabled spaces like
streaming,
podcasting, or virtual
assistants —
audiences return for
what they feel, not
how it’s delivered..”

Technology
and only
Compete on
Content..’
