QUOTES
- “I basically just help grow brands, help grow companies. I love startups. I've launched about 50 brands into the marketplace in the last eight years and I've mentored for well over 150. And I just love all things marketing. Now I've got a couple of e-commerce websites as well. I sell CBD and other hemp products, mushroom products, that kind of stuff. But really, I just love launching companies and I love marketing.” - Josh Whitaker
- “Manufacturing is horrible. And I will never do that again. Never to get an all-stock deal and never do manufacturing again.” - Josh Whitaker
- “To be able to hire the right people, put in the right systems and processes and that kind of thing. So, I really want to get out of that, and that's why I've scaled back a lot and just focused on my own e-commerce websites. It's just, that I'm doing too much still, so I think I want to do a little less.” - Josh Whitaker
