His philosophy about utilizing the internet is: build an audience by doing whatever it is that you're passionate about, assume that your audience has similar interests to your own, and then make things you would like (in his case, Field Notes, The Deck ad network, Jewelboxing) because your audience probably wants the same things you do.
