How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Graham Williams on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Insight
Williams: Brand sponsors favor boutique events over broad mass reach
“There is definitely a new mindset in the sponsorship world that isn't so focused on what's the biggest thing we can be a part of, but more what's the coolest thing we can be a part of, or how do we market our brand uniquely and actually connect with fans and b…”

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Williams: 100,000-person music festivals make around $10 million in profit
“I mean, we make money, but I wouldn't say, compared to some of the big festivals that make ten million dollars, those are festivals with a 100,000 people, so we're a lot smaller.”

Disclosure
Williams: Ticket sales are only half of Fun Fun Fun Fest's revenue
“Tickets alone are probably about half of what we pull in. So I, it's not in front of me. It's hard to say. I want to say there's like one to two million in ticket sales.”

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Williams: Fun Fun Fun Fest drew 3,000 and turned a profit in year one
“I don't know the exact cost, probably a hundred grand or so, small, compared to what it costs now. The festival probably did about 3000 people. It was one day. And yeah, I mean, it actually made a teeny tiny profit, even.”

What-if
Williams: I should have launched Transmission Events five years earlier
“I worked at Emo's, this one club, for about a decade before I started Transmission, I probably should have started that company five years before that. Same with the festival. But I probably stayed in a comfortable zone that I knew well and didn't take as many…”
