These fireside chats I get to do are some of my favorites, and I love when they consist of people under my own company. There's some fire questions in here, and I loved sitting down with the summer interns at VMLA to chat and expand the knowledge on both sides. We talked smart devices, where voice is starting and heading, and a ton more. I know you'll enjoy this - let me know your thoughts ;)

LOVED loved loved being on my man Jim Rome's show. I talked about exactly when my desire to buy the New York Jets started, when I think that'll happen, and what my idea of the media landscape will be in 20 years. Keep an eye on Augmented and Mixed reality, because as technology gets smaller and more efficient, these two areas will start to matter a whole lot more... Just keep in mind that as you're hustling, it's not about the money or fame - it's about not complaining. If you're complaining, you're definitely not hustling your way to a better life. Really enjoyed this talk guys, let me know what you thought ;)

Last week I was out in Dublin for the Dublin Tech Summit. Such a great event and a huge thanks to everyone that show me love. In this interview we cover the evolution of communication, the truth about fake news, silence all the haters complaining about how the Internet has 'ruined' us, and the big question of does social media change us or expose us?

#QOTD: What's your favorite thing about San Francisco?

To me, a name is made. I have some friends that sit around and spend wayyyyy too much time trying to figure out the name for their startup. What did "Google" or "Facebook" mean to anybody outside of their inner communities when they weren't the household names we know today? None of these words mean ANYTHING until they're SOMETHING. 

Some people email me saying they don't like their own last name. My response? You're emailing Gary VAYNERCHUK. Let's call it what it is, Vaynerchuk SUCKS. And yea, they'll be those that tell me it's unique and kinda cool, and I get that - BUT, it's only good because I made something out of it. 

And so, what does a name actually mean? To me? NOTHING. 

I actually think a new trend in this short-form world we live in will be that most business names will start getting abbreviated. People used to call me "V-Chuk" because they didn't want to call me by "Vaynerchuk," and that became my slang last name. We will evolve our name to our convenience so long as it brings VALUE. And so, stop worrying about the name and start worrying about the product. 

#ProTip: If your full name is available for a dot-com, go ahead and purchase it. I highly recommend it.
