    enFebruary 03, 2018

    Podcast Summary

    • Providing strategic mindset, inspiring stories, and up-to-date tactics in booksGary Vaynerchuk's success comes from combining strategic mindset, inspiring stories, and up-to-date tactics in his books. Take action and buy 'Crush It' to apply the knowledge.

      According to Gary Vaynerchuk, the success of books like his best-seller "Crush It" comes from the combination of providing a strategic mindset, inspiring stories of people who have applied the strategies, and up-to-date tactics. Gary emphasized the importance of taking action based on the content consumed, whether it's through reading, audio, or video. He noted that his books have had a significant impact on people's lives and encouraged listeners who have been tuning in for more than a week to buy "Crush It" and share their purchase on Twitter. Gary also highlighted the value of time and how platforms like podcasts and voice technology save time, making it easier for people to access and apply valuable information.

    • Voice technology as the next frontier for attention and marketingBe proactive and learn how to create and market voice skills for voice platforms like Alexa and Google Home to position yourself as a leader in the emerging field, as these platforms are expected to significantly impact industries and change the way we search for information.

      Sound, specifically voice technology, is set to become the next major frontier for attention and marketing, with platforms like Alexa and Google Home expected to dominate in the coming decade. This is similar to how being an early adopter of SEO strategies was crucial for businesses in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being proactive and learning how to create and market voice skills, as these platforms are expected to significantly impact industries, such as real estate, where users may ask for open house recommendations. The speaker also notes the potential for voice technology to save time and change the way we search for information. However, there are also challenges, such as figuring out how to monetize voice ads, that will need to be addressed. Overall, the speaker encourages businesses and individuals to start exploring voice technology and positioning themselves as leaders in this emerging field.

    • The Future of Shopping: Voice Commerce and Seamless TransactionsVoice commerce is disrupting traditional search engines and changing the way we interact with technology and make purchases. Entrepreneurs with strong voice recognition algorithms have an advantage in this new landscape.

      The future of shopping and e-commerce is all about reducing friction and making transactions as seamless as possible, as evidenced by the growing popularity of voice commerce and devices like Alexa. This trend has the potential to disrupt traditional search engines like Google, as voice searches become more common, especially on mobile devices. Entrepreneurs who can develop strong voice recognition algorithms could have a major advantage in this new landscape. The dinner conversation between the speakers further illustrates this, as they discuss various options and make bookings using voice commands. The ease and convenience of voice commerce is changing the way we interact with technology and make purchases, and companies that can adapt to this trend will be well-positioned for success.

    • Building a direct relationship with customersInvest in relationship-building and deep consumer understanding to differentiate from competitors and succeed in business, especially in travel industry.

      To succeed in business, particularly in the travel industry, it's essential to be closest to the customer and build a direct relationship with them. Brands like Guinness and Michelin have done this effectively in their respective fields, and it's a strategy that can be applied to travel information. Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO of VaynerMedia, emphasizes this concept through their consulting product, the "4 D's: Daily Digital Deep Dive." This immersive experience allows businesses to learn from VaynerMedia's creative, media, and consulting strategy teams, enabling them to better understand consumer behavior and tailor their offerings accordingly.

    5 Core Pieces of Value to Get You to Succeed

    5 Core Pieces of Value to Get You to Succeed

    There are so many people racing to earn more money than they can even spend even if they have to sacrifice their happiness and livelihood to do so. The really disturbing part about this is that most of these people only want the money so they can be flashy and show off their overly expensive cars (that they don't even want) and other dumb things to other people. Happiness needs to be the Northstar that we strive towards. If we aren't aiming to be happy, then is it really worth having more money than you can spend and more cars than you can drive? —
