Quotes from Gaetano DiNardi:

“Companies don’t think about distribution. They just produce.”

“Most content actually lacks expertise, authoritativeness, and it doesn’t always seem like it’s coming from a subject matter expert because oftentimes, it’s not.”

“All this quantity, you have to keep maintaining it, and you have to keep it up to date.”

“These are assets that never die. They live forever if they are good quality.”
