"The only arbitrage to the internet itself is virtual reality. So VR is not going to arbitrage social. VR will become the next platform where our attention is. But it's not going to grow as fast at a consumer level as most people think. VR right now is like Internet 92."
"What I love social media for is different from most. I truly believe people are way too focused on distribution of content and not building actual relationships."
"Creating content is the cost of entry to being relevant in society, whether you're a person or a business."
"My dream is that I want to prove to the world that you can build a financial empire on being a good person. I think I can change the business landscape forever. A lot of my friends started being mean to tech guys because "that's what Steve [Jobs, Apple founder] did". And it affected me. I'm on a crusade. I think capitalism and meritocracy are the greatest traits of our society - there are absolutely ways to beat your competitors to the ground but also be a nice guy and be good to your team."
Virtual reality is positioned as the next major platform for attention, but consumer adoption will be slower than many expect. Social media value lies in building genuine relationships rather than obsessing over content distribution metrics. Producing content is the baseline requirement for individual and business relevance. Video ranks as the most powerful format for communication and engagement. Brands that treat social tactics as purely transactional risk missing long-term returns. Marketing succeeds through creative, human-driven approaches rather than only quantitative models. Financial success can be built on kindness, combining competitive capitalism with respectful team leadership.
