Tweetables:

“I knew in that process that I wanted to focus like I wanted a narrow focus. I wanted to be the best in the world at something and I like to think of myself as fairly self-aware.”

“Google AdWords, also known as Google ads, I think actually, the technical term is now Google ads, right? Is Google's ad platform. Right? So if you are paying to generate impressions, which are views on ads, you're paying to generate clicks, you are paying to generate leads, either inside Google search on the YouTube advertising platform, if you are running ads on any number of third-party websites, like espn.com, or cnn.com, or The New York Times or whatever they're run Google ads, you are advertising on the Google ad platform. And for me, Google ads is probably the single most critical paid acquisition channel that you can run.”

“Google ads, particularly search ads tend to close more often, they tend to close more quickly, they tend to be easier to reach, it is just a profoundly powerful channel for reaching people who are ready to go.”

“Google as an ad platform occupies this really critical role for most real estate businesses, especially real estate investors. That's what makes it so special.”
