Interview with Gary Vaynerchuck @ Ideja X Zagreb
Not many times in your life you have the opportunity to talk with someone who can be considered as your idol. If I met Michael Jordan when I was 13 or 14 i would probably wrap around him and stay like that till the end of childhood, but in that time it was not so real, or at least I thought so. But as time passed by and my professional interest became more clear, this wish became more and more possible, and it finally happened at Ideja X conference in Zagreb. Yup guys, I had opportunity to spend some quality time with the greatest @garyvee!
Probably the first question that everyone wants to know about Gary is - is this guy really doing all that stuff by himself. I mean tweeting, vcasting, chatting, presenting and all those work related words finished by -ing. But second after you meet him and have no doubt that the answer can be only positive. After 10 minutes interview I was amazed by one fact that is maybe not so obvious and not so interesting for being written. Yes he knows a lot. Yes he started with 4 million dollar business. Yes his industry is being more easily monetized than some others but... people forget the fact how normal he is. In a world full of business A MUST bullshits, he remained to be regular guy from the neighbourhood you can talk and have fun with. While "businessmen" think it's just a mockery he's rocking the world with this attitude making armies of brand advocates and thus changing the way marketeers work and think. Thumbs up for that!
Part I
Part II
In the end, I would like to thank Gary for his time, and awesome Netokracija crew for helping me do this. Great opportunity and probably one of the biggest motivation boosts I've ever had!
