I just bought the audiobook and just wanted to say to all those who aren't lucky enough to win Your signed copy of "Crush It" - I highly recommend purchasing the audiobook, as it really let's Gary V express himself.

It has taken over Seth Godins for me ;) Gary's genuine zestiness is contageous! (I have to say you guys did brilliant chipmunks voices too with the balloon act.) Gary is a great speaker. Being ourselves and sharing whatever little or large nuggets we have is great stuff. He is an inspiration and so are you. Keep the spirit alive! Simon I always enjoy what you post next.

I guess it's just a question of who's been working with brands to build social media campaigns that worked. Anyway, it's such early days this is normal. The work you are doing will pay off for sure.

I just became familiar with Gary V through the On-Line Music Marketing Class through Berklee Music. That man certainly has stamina as well as vision. I lost my media marketing/sales job due to a merger a little over a year ago. I've spent a huge chunk of this time on-line researching and studying as much as possible Social Media, Optimization, gathering, interpreting and leveraging analytics. I must say that it has been overwhelming! How is it that other people have become experts on these subjects? I can't imagine that they've spent anymore time or energy, and yet I feel there is no catching up. How does one move out of the steepest part and get ahead of the learning curve like Gary? I've not read his book, but I would love too. Thanks, and btw, I enjoy your posts on Twitter. Hey Simon,

His book and your post ("The bonds that binds us...") were the inspiration for my blog. I'd like to eventually put Gary's advice to work in a different way, but my little blog is what works right now.
