VIDEO: Gary Vaynerchuk on Conferences, Consulting, Books, and Impending Fatherhood
At the May 8 BIGOmaha conference in Nebraska, web celebrity Gary Vaynerchuk took a few moments to talk to us about his experience at the small-town show, his new consultancy with his brother, and the expected arrival of a new Vaynerchuk.
"People on the coasts get spoiled," Vaynerchuk said. "There's always things going on in LA, San Fran, New York. Not to say 'Omaha's lucky to have us.' Please. I'm not going in that direction. But there was definitely a great spirit in the room. People drove from two or three hours to be here. It was a very uplifting aspect."
Vaynerchuk also chatted about his recent 10-book publishing deal, which might even include a title on parenting.
"This new experience that I have coming soon [Vaynerchuk is expecting a new addition to his family in three weeks], for someone who really wants to crush it and be the biggest entrepreneur ever, I think it would be kind of interesting to look at fatherhood and balancing all that. I feel like other people are struggling with that."
His first book, Crush It, will be available in stores mid-October.
Vaynerchuk also talks about his work with ObsessedTV.com and his latest endeavor, Vayner Media, a consulting service for celebrities, big brands, or anyone who needs to rule their niche.

Gary is awesome. Heaps of great posts and clips over at www.garyvaynerchuk.com - Go Gary!
Hey Readwriteweb! Good job adding Jolie O'Dell to the team. She is beautiful and SUCH a treat to the eyes and her interviews are definitely quite informative. All the more incentive to follow readwriteweb now!
Gary has nailed the application of social media and deserves all the praise he receives. He seems like a genuine guy. Keep it up Gary.
10 book deal?! That is insane.
I think this guy is an a$$hole, but it's amazing the sheer amount of stuff he is doing/accomplishing. Nevertheless, though, an a$$hole :(.
I'm sorry to say this but you guys at RWW will not be able to keep Jolie. She is so beautiful and so expressive that some big network soon will notice her.

I have to say it: Gary's not anything of the sort. During the time I was around him at BIGOmaha, he was courteous and gave every minute of his time and every bit of his attention to the people who wanted both or either.
Being constantly in the public eye is tough, and I have to admire him for the gracious way he dealt with the demands of about 450 people who all wanted a piece of him. He's genuinely helpful and a true giver in this regard.
Tony Little has this stuff down!
