Quotes:

“But he said to me, he says, look, Bill, writing this book, even if it never gets published, will be one of the most powerful things you could ever do because it’s going to get your head around a body of knowledge.” | 00:01:55.180 – 00:02:06.980

“And my formula was and still is today, call, mail, call. Now it’s a lot of email, mail, email, because people don’t pick up their phone anymore. Yeah, I will usually alert people I’ll say, sometimes I’ll ask permission to send the book. Most time these days I say, hey, I’m sending you a copy. I’ll follow up afterwards. And so a little call. Mail call.” | 00:04:18.340 – 00:04:40.360
