Tweetable Quotes:

  • “Our business was unique in the sense that everything was shut down. So we had people willing to work obviously, right. But there were no sports. There was no entertainment. All the buildings in the arenas were shut down.” – Howie Zales
  • “I live stream my podcast weekly from my house using professional software. And we have a content delivery network, or CDN where all of our shows live. And we actually create and house content for clients and direct these players to their web experience.” – Howie Zales
  • “The use of live stream to get content out there is totally taking over how people are getting their content out there. Because you can’t rely on, you know, the social media platforms to distribute your content, because the algorithms constantly change.” – Howie Zales
