A GUIDE TOOUR COMPANY

& CULTURE

Q2 2010 EDITION


2/37

When I rst thought about starting this company I

had a vision. My vision was that one day everyone

would be a content creator. That was back in 2005

and a lot has changed. YouTube. Twitter. Facebook.

iPhone. iPad. Our world has been transormed

radically in a very short period o time. From

students to grandparents, billions o people are

nding their voice via the Internet. The vision is

becoming a reality aster than I had ever imagined.

You are now part o a very special amily. We

are the pioneers ueling the democratization

o inormation, entertainment, marketing and

commerce. Our platorms und the American dream

or the next generation o artists, poets, lm makers,

photographers, thought leaders, comics, actors and

musicians. What you do here will impact hundreds

o thousands o people directly and inuence the

actions o millions more. We matter. You matter.

This is a huge opportunity. You are part owner in a

company that has already changed the world and

has a very bright uture. Make the most o each day.

Take pride in what you do. Above all remember that

you will get out o this experience is what you put

into it.

All The Best,
