Gary Vaynerchuk - an amazingly engaging dude.

I've little interest wine or "building a personal brand" but the dude is so engaging and passionate, it's awesome to watch.

"Building Personal Brand Within the Social Media Landscape. Note: This presentation contains adult language."


From the presentation:

"There is no reason in 2008 to do shit you hate...

Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself 'What do I want to do everyday?" ...if you like Alf, do an Alf blog... if you love Smurfs, Smurf it up.

Stop crying and just keep hustling. Hustling is the most important word.

We are sitting where the gatekeepers are no longer in control.

If you don't believe in what you're doing, you need to get out now. We only get to play this game one time. One life...

The game is changing.

It's about building brand equity in yourself.

It's all gonna crash next year... It's gonna be awesome. Huge opportunities. Get ready.

Which tools should I use? All of them.

7 in the evening to 2 in the morning is plenty of time to do damage.

The only way to succeed now is to be completely transparent.

I got wristbands... that's the key.

Do what You're about. Please.

Everybody has time... stop watching fucking Lost."
