![]() The short time we spent chatting would have meant just as much to me if we hadn't recorded it. You see, I finally understood what it meant to truly appreciate one's hustle. A man, so focused on his goals, that he doesn't care what others think of his drive. Not about being in front of Gary, or the live audience on Facebook of over 1,000, or with D-Rock recording DailyVee, but nervous because of the massive amount of respect I had truly gained for a man who out-hustles everyone else. This helps me remain calm in situations that others are too excited to act normal in. I said at the outset, I'm not a fanboy of anyone. Mad props to Gary and team for building an awesome environment for people to actually want to beat work and be happy to be there. Pretty freaking cool.)Īs hard at work the employees are, they make time to say hi, flash a smile or offer you something to make you comfortable.

We were a bit early, so we were asked to hang tight in the lounge while the smiling young lady offered us water and other beverages.Īs show time got closer, D-Rock and India came out to greet us and welcome us to the office. From the moment Amy Schmittauer and I walked in the door, we were treated great. ![]() I can't say enough great things about how awesome the team is at VaynerMedia.

I was fortunate enoughto connect with Gary on numerous occasions here and there on socialmedia channels. (Not sure if that even make sense, but my dadused to tell me all the time, so its become a habit. Of course, this doesnâtcome through osmosis. Twitter has really allowed me to make global connections that would have been nearly impossible to cultivate any other way. Social media has allowed us to connect to people from all walks of life, all over the globe,at any time we want. It all seems so obvious, however, at the time, I couldn't distinguish my ass from my elbow. I began to realize that Gary's message wasn't what you should be doing, rather, what he is doing and how it works for him. I would listen and think to myself, are people really listening to a man tell them what to do and who is saying what mydad had been talking about for 30 years?Īs with most boys, we finally get it at some time around the age of 30. Not because I thought Garywas a bad guy, or because the things he said were wrong, butbecause it was information I had heard every day, for my entire life. There was a time I really didn't like what Gary had to say. Well, the message from my parents and grandparents has now come full circle when I spoke to Gary Vaynerchuk for the Brand Boost Podcast.
