Quotes from the episode:

“When you're networking, just be genuine, you know, it's a two-way street, right? Identify how you could help them, in the hope that maybe later along the line that they can help you” - Lyle Del Mundo

“This is just my personal opinion, but from what I've seen with some of the biggest Filipino media companies in the world, ABS-CBN and GMA, they've had a footprint, you know, in the United States. For the past couple decades they've had some of their successes and failures. But, you know, I personally think that they just didn't have the right leadership in place to actually make shit happen. So that's why I kind of put together the kind of this voltes five (F.A.C.E.)” - Lyle Del Mundo
