“What we [the Muslim community] should have been doing, I think proactively, is going out and telling our story and talking about the values that we preach that I think are very American values and finding ways to engage with the community more and more.” (20:08)
“What I realized is, one of the things I really excel at is going out to find scrappy ways to get it done, seeing a problem, coming up with different solutions, experimenting.” (28:33)
“For the podcasters out there, or for anyone, Glow is designed to be the best way for podcasters to be able to let listeners pay them directly. And, it can either be for listener support or to actually charge for content.” (34:36)
“I’m just really excited to help give podcasters a new way to make money. My personal goal is I want to be able to create a thousand new podcasting entrepreneurs.” (42:12)
