Gary Vaynerchuk spoke next at Web 2.0 NY on Building Personal Brand Within the Social Media Landscape .
He was hilarious. His video presentation is available online , to share with others. He is inspirational for new young entrepreneur and I’d love to see him talk at Ultra Light Startups
His talk was simply “Patience and Passion”.
Words of wisdom included.
