What I Liked: #AskGaryVee is a meaningful book to read in this social marketing era.
The book is organized around 22 themes that cover most of the craft and life of any individual involved in social media marketing. Each theme is treated via a series of questions and answers. The information is top-notch. Even if some of the platforms he talks about are not existing anymore (Merkaat) or less groundbreaking (Insta) the concepts themselves didn't change. It's also an extremely positive and kind book. The sort of book that makes you feel great and prepare a lot of new plans around your own strategies.
What I disliked: The Q&A nature of this book was for me really difficult to read because of the absence of structured storytelling between chapter or even within them. It makes the book a very disjointed experience. I spent 19h studying this book over several months because of this. As every story has its own life, it makes it easy to leave this book on the side without feeling the need to finish it. It probably also works great as an audiobook I imagine. Also, a lot of repetition.
However, this format also tremendously helps to understand the vast scope of application of his key message about listening, empathising/sympathizing and creating content based on that. The theory is straightforward and the book value resides in the myriad of examples that GaryVee provides.
Manga Analogy: GaryVee is Asta from Black Clover. He doesn't have a “proper” education but developed his craft through a ton of practice and dedication since childhood. He values relationship and people above everything, genuinely want people around him to improve and engage with them so they can. That doesn't prevent him from wanting to become the best that ever existed at his craft.
The audiobook is by far superior to the print version. Gary gives updated answers and his voice comes through much better.
