Keeping Content Creation Fun: "Because definitely in the content world, like, if you're getting started and you put yourself in this situation where your passion and your enjoyment isn't aligned with your end goal, you're gonna quit." — Anthony Gallo [00:16:35 → 00:16:45]

Leveraging YouTube for Business Growth: "What you need to do is recognize how valuable of an opportunity YouTube is, map out how you're going to use it, hire a killer, and let them know that they could potentially make $500,000 a year because that's totally possible in the realm of YouTube monetization, using it as a marketing pillar to grow your brand, they can make that." — Anthony Gallo [00:30:30 → 00:30:51]
