Quotes from Mike Cimmarrusti:

”That when I realize that I want to spend the rest of my life helping people communicate visually."

"We landed on TikTok because it was really easy to create. We spent some time on it ourselves obviously to use the platform and realized this is really to consume and really easy to create."

"What I realized it was way less work and more likely to get viral if you just copy what is on the platform and tweak it toward you message"
