Quote from the episode

Really at the end of the day, a lot of brands don’t do that. They’re really afraid to create any kind of repelling marketing. Because I think we have this deep desire to be liked, but at the end of the day you’re not for everybody. And part of building a business is not just attracting who you want to attract, but repelling who you don’t want to attract.

~ Renee Bowen, Founder & CEO of Renee Bowen Photography
