Insightful talk by Gary Vaynerchuk - "Crush It" author

Had no idea who this is, now I know he's awesome. And a great speaker. I love when someone is himself, curses in every sentence not giving a damn, while still bombing you with more inspiring stuff than many of those guys who try too hard designing the perfect speech.

Lots of great thoughts there. I didn't know that there are such talks on Railsconf.

I'm embarrassed to say that I almost closed the window after a few minutes because his accent/demeanor made him come off as a bit of a douchebag. Now I'm really enjoying it.

I highly recommend watching. If you are unfamiliar or put off by Gary V's demeanor, give him a chance. His character is part of why his wine review show is so successful. He is a successful, tenacious entrepreneur. His thoughts presented here are valid and insightful.

FYI, there is some coarse language though.

For those who haven't seen a talk by Gary V before, be prepared for plenty of cursing.

Also, he can be a little off-putting at first - give it a chance, you'll be glad you did.

I was there. Enjoyed the talk.
