Wil Reynolds Quotes
"There's no substitute for time. I was in twice the amount of meetings as people my age because I was spending twice the amount of time working on my career, and I got more exposure than they did faster."
"I think people overvalue getting their finances straight and undervalue just helping people solve their problems. So I've always placed my focus on that."
"When you go into someone's craft and their life's work and you say, 'Well, move this around for Google – not for people – for Google. Get more rankings,' you're kind of shitting on somebody’s baby."
