Ever wish you could reach the ranks of Marianne Williamson or Deepak Chopra – becoming a thought leader revered by the masses? Maybe contribute a viral article to Forbes or Inc?

“You have information, ideas, and a story that could really help people, that could heal them, that could change their business or their whole life.”
“You don’t need to wait three years or five years before you can get media. You don’t have wait until your website is perfect before you connect with influencers. There are steps you can take now.”
“If you invest energy now into getting those media hits, you can use that brand equity for the lifetime of your business. That’s a pretty big return on investment.”

Todd’s Quotes
“Nobody has a fear of being more valuable. When you go out there and try to be as valuable as you possibly can to other people it removes the emotional angst.”
“The problem with how some people are doing business online is that they are living inside of one big echo chamber. Everyone is saying the same thing and fighting over the same customers, not knowing how to position or differentiate. That’s the really big opportunity of tapping into different media platforms. You get exposed to an audience that is not getting hit with the exact same message. This creates brand new business opportunities.”
