Interview With Gary Vaynerchuk

by Andy Brudtkuhl on July 8, 2009

This is my interview with Gary Vaynerchuk during the live broadcast of our internet business podcast during the Big Omaha conference.

The video quality is crappy – recorded on the iSight over crappy wifi after which it was compressed by UStream and then converted from flash to mov and then processed by iMovie where it was uploaded to Viddler and further compressed and encoded.

But as Gary would say – it’s the content that matters!

Pre-Order Gary’s new book CrushIt right now.

Jeff Bezos Interview

by Andy Brudtkuhl on June 27, 2008

Now that Bill Gates has retired my new “wish i was him” is Jeff Bezos. He was interviewed on my favorite radio show, On Point, yesterday where he discussed the future of reading, e-commerce, the economy, and the internet.

Here is the broadcast…

JeffBezos

In the world of the Internet, Jeff Bezos is a giant. A pioneer. In the old days, they might have said a god.

He started Amazon.com when e-commerce was next to nothing and the web was still a whisper. Today, Bezos is a billionaire, Amazon is ubiquitous, and the web, well, it’s the way we live.

It hasn’t all been pretty. A lot of bookstores have been trampled. Amazon’s balance sheet was touch and go along the way.

But Bezos is still thinking big. From the way we read, to “cloud computing,” to humans in space.
