Some of you may know that about a month ago, I participated in the first ever Ignite Dallas (my recap). The premise is simple: talk about something you’re passionate about for 5 minutes and using only 20 slides. That happen to transition automatically every 15 seconds whether you want them to or not.

Gary Vaynerchuk’s shares his secret for cutting through the noise in social media marketing consulting.
This video can only ellicit one reaction: Wow! (And that’s a pensive, holy crap wow, not a yeah, go team wow). Thanks to Junta42 for bringing it to my attention. Watch the video, and then answer this question: how can any of us keep up?
