If you are looking for some inspiration in your life regarding your career, I highly suggest you watch some of these keynote speeches done by Gary Vaynerchuk at different conferences. He sent out a Twitter the other day saying he is booked until July of 2009.
He is amazing, passionate and can inspire just about anyone.
I interviewed him in August on the Social Media Bus. Check it out!

I attended BlogOrlando this weekend. This is the second year that I have attended this free un-conference. Josh Hallett has put this event on the past three years. It is free because of the sponsorships that Josh brings in. They have different tracks that offering different sessions that you may be interested in.
Of the three sessions that I sat in today the Monetization track was my favorite. Ted Murphy from IZEA was leading this session. He is so loud and passionate it gets you excited about the topic. He could have been talking about a topic that I don’t particularly care for and it would have kept my attention. Some of the other presenters got up there and you could barely hear them and they didn’t seem happy to be there. Ted handed out two $20.00 bills to people and told them to write about him on his blog, whether it be good or bad, he didn’t care. That captured the audiences attention right away. Then people were more tuned in to what he had to say.
So if you are going to lead a session… be passionate!
Brian Clark from Copy Blogger sat down with me for a few minutes at Envy Steakhouse for an interview. He gave same great tips on writing.
MarketLeverage (my employer) sponsored the Super-Panel dinner at BlogWorld. Jeremy Schoemaker, John Chow, Darren Rowse, Zac Johnson, Brian Clark and Jim Kukral were all in attendance. I sat down with Darren Rowse for a few minutes to ask him about blogging. I love his Australian accent by the way!
I had the opportunity to sit down with Jeremy Schoemaker at BlogWorld for a quick interview. I could talk to him for hours, even days. He is so easy to talk to and is full of really good informative information. Check out my interview with him.
