Overheard in Omaha

by Jenn Bailey on May 12, 2009

The BIG Omaha came. The BIG Omaha went (way too soon, we might add). If you missed BIG Omaha, you missed Awesomeness and Grand Ideas. But don’t worry. We’re going to share.

Overheard in Omaha

Jason Fried with 37 Signals – “Planning is really guessing. Don’t focus on planning. Focus on Doing.”

Jason Fried gets some "visual assistance" from Gary Vaynerchuk.

Joe Olsen with Phenomblue – “Look for opportunities around you. Find other companies that can help you do bigger business.”

Christina Maki with The Social Lites – “They’re throwing a Vegan Feast at the Secret Penguin? I haz a happy!”

Micah Baldwin with Lijit – “Since we’re supposed to be transparent, this is my DNA. Those 3 lines on the left say I’m male. That huge blob in the middle. That’s my brain capacity. And those 3 big lines over there, that’s my penis size.”

Micah gets transparent.

Unknown woman to Simon Kuo with LightThread – “Is this like a Star Trek convention or something?”

Jeffrey Kalmikoff with Threadless – “If your brand was a person, would you be friends with it?”

Gary Vaynerchuk with Wine Library – “Story telling IS the game.”

Gary does his best impression of the ShamWow guy.
