So SXSW has officially concluded. Whew, its been a wild crazy ride over the last 9 days or so.

Interview with Kade Dworkin

While at SXSW I did a quick interview with Kade Dworkin and this dude is absolutely killing it. It was a pleasure to meet him. In this video he touches on his few take-aways and I think he is spot on.

My few take-aways:

SXSW was awesome, especially since I live in Austin and it was a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute cab ride to the convention center.

While SXSW is one of my favorite conferences because of the people I really felt there was a lot of basic content. No one was really “Dropping Bombs” that change the way I think about things. Hopefully next year their will be more advanced sessions.

• 90% of people don’t act on anything. Be in the 10% and actually apply what you learn!
• You gotta set the expectations of your visitors that you do actually plan on making money, otherwise you attract “Freetards.” – Shout out to Julien Smith.
• Broadband Cable probably won’t be replaced by Internet TV for quite some time.
• Gary Vaynerchuk is an awesome speaker.
• Zone bars are Delicious
