[59:30] We're here with Will Reynolds! [59:37] By the time you publish a book, the shit is old! [59:53] Will Reynolds is with Seer Interactive, a sponsor of the event, and this is their new space! [01:00:16] Will is a regular fucking dude, but there are times when he takes a step back to be THANKFUL for how it happened! Today's one of those days! [01:01:50] Seer started in 2002, and Will still loves what he does, and it blows his mind. [01:02:40] CEO & Founders today are all about Servant Leadership. [01:03:05] How Seer Interactive takes time to get to know people and help them grow, but it is HARD! [01:04:40] Dumb down marketing to this level of Human to Human interaction. [01:05:10] Before Seer, Will came from a digital marketing background. [01:06:35] Will doesn't want to slow down the growth of the company, just to know everyone's name. [01:08:00] You gotta put more good into the world then you took out. [01:08:20] In 2018, Seer will double this space and dominate, cause Will cares more than his competitors do. [01:09:25] Just like Amazon, they didn't care about making money in the short term, but now the OWN everything! [01:10:10] Will's advice to people getting started as a creative hustler. Be real to yourself, and put more good in the world then you take out! [01:11:00] Will just wanted to make his parents proud. They sacrificed so much for him. [01:12:40] If your mom was dying, would her last thought be "I'm proud of you"? [01:14:55] Be real to yourself, so you can be real with others. [01:15:44] If you want to find Will on the internet, google it (or look below!) [01:16:09] That's a Wrap Creative Hustlers! Thanks to everyone who joined us!
