Top Quotes From David Bain:

“On YouTube, although there are millions and millions of videos as well, there are not that many people actively doing activities to try and rank for certain keyword phrases.”
“If you’re gonna do one, you obviously have to try and try and do something a little bit different… You’ve got to raise the bar in terms of the quality of audio that you’re producing and the actual structure of the show and the quality of the person that you’re interviewing as well.” [on creating podcasts]
“I don’t think you should necessarily take yourself too seriously and want to produce a show that’s 100% correct, because people are more likely to engage with you, perhaps, if you do something wrong as well.” [on producing his own podcast show]
“If you have a quality conversation with someone for half an hour, then they’re much more likely to trust you and recommend you to their friends and colleagues in the future as well. It’s so much nicer and more trustworthy than making a sales call initially.”
