# How Gary Vaynerchuk Got to Where He Is Today ## Метаданные - **Канал:** Gary Vaynerchuk - **YouTube:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeXBBWqKpgc - **Дата:** 28.08.2020 - **Длительность:** 9:10 - **Просмотры:** 480,474 ## Описание When people hear the name Gary Vaynerchuk, they tend to think "motivational speaker" or "social media influencer" when in reality that is only a small fraction of what he has been doing the past 44 years. Gary is predominantly a businessman, who has an exceptional eye for emerging trends and consumer behaviors. From the lemonade stands that he used to run as a kid to selling Empathy Wines to Constellation Brands, Gary has always been a business operator first, but money is never the main focus for him. With the unique combination of hard work, patience, empathy, and kindness, Gary hopes to inspire future generations to go after what truly makes them happy and go against the grain of what society deems "normal" or the "right way to live". — Text me here https://garyvee.com/Community-yt — Your comments are my oxygen, please take a second and say ‘Hi’ in the comments and let me and my team know what you thought of the video … p.s.

personality all this stuff how would you describe yourself i think i'm an entrepreneur somebody asked me today in an interview what do i do with my down time i told them that i start other businesses this is my hobby this is my passion this is what i love to do i love building businesses this is fun for me you understand i'm a purebred entrepreneur for real for real like documented how did this all start what happened with me is i had the great benefit of being an immigrant i was born in belarus in the former soviet union and uh came to the states in 78 set up in queens and my parents lived the american dream they worked very hard my dad was a stock boy in a liquor store in clark new jersey and eventually saved up enough money to buy a store in springfield new jersey i was lemonade stands baseball cards real hustler kid anything to make a buck and at 14 i got dragged into the store heard the internet my freshman year of college heard that sound cooch knew that it was special and in 1996 i launched one of the first e-commerce wine businesses in america called winelibrary. com took over my dad's business kind of running it day to day in 1998 alongside with him and from 98 to 2003 uh helped grow that business from a three to a 60 million dollar business but growing up business from three to sixty million was just the beginning let's see what gary created after leaving wine library i was 34 years old when i started vaynermedia i had spent the 12 best years of my youth building my dad's liquor store for him i left that business had no money had no equity i was worthless to the bank vaynermedia started in somebody else's conference room because we had no money for rent so it was a ton of risk by normal standards when somebody reads it on paper but not necessarily for me it just felt like progression i run vaynermedia we are an 800 person firm 100 million dollars in revenue and four years from zero we work with ge and pepsi and under armour and toyota and the biggest brands in the world what does avena media do we're a modern day mad men we're a madison avenue agency the same people that used to sell commercial time on anything you ever did in radio and television we now do that on facebook snapchat instagram and we produce the creative for the brands to sell stuff through the phone we are living through a revolution this my friends this is the television and the television is the radio and it's 1960 and there's a huge opportunity what does being a contemporary communicator mean it means that you understand where people are paying attention whether that's twitch or tick tock or believe it or not organic reach on linkedin and then are you capable of creating the creative the videos the pictures the written words that are contextual to those platforms to make the agenda successful vaynermedia grew into a global advertising agency with five offices across new york london singapore los angeles and chattanooga tennessee as time went on

Constellation Brands acquires Gary Vaynerchuk's Empathy Wines empathy last year yeah this is one of those one plus one equals 11 where both sides of the equation bring so much value ceo gary's the chief executive officer of vaynerx but how would gary describe what he does at its most purest sense i am an operating entrepreneur so let's take a deeper look into what drives gary and how he operates i'm a kid who started working literally the day i left college i walked into wine library about six o'clock that night worked for two hours then went home and literally from that moment literally the day i left college to the second i'm sitting here right now i have never not been the chief operator of a business and i've made payroll every single week since i was 22 years old and i'm proud of that because it's practical as [ __ ] i've taken vaynermedia as the ceo and ceo for that matter i've operated it every day i've taken it from zero to 200 million in revenue with no cash infusion started it in a conference room it's now my second company that i built and what i want to do is inspire two 14 year old girls in kansas city right now to build a billion dollar company on having a bunch of employees hugging each other in the halls and it is not lost on me that i am taking the gifts that my mom and dad gave me and i'm giving them to the world and my happiness framework and the way i treat people is for some reason becoming cool and if and i'm just gonna squeeze the [ __ ] out of that because it's leading to good i know i'm on to something so fundamentally different and i know that i can inspire people to do it because it's gonna have the empire part two see that's what people don't get the reason i'm gonna win is because i've got both the honey part means that you wanna go change the world the empire part means you'll do it at all costs i'm neither gary has a natural ability to see consumer trends which led him to be an early investor in companies like uber twitter tumblr facebook snapchat and venmo i am predicting that facebook acquires instagram 15 million users for instagram probably gonna push 30 next year and i just have this funny feeling that zucks is going to look at that talent look at that app bring it in house so i was on pierce morgan his opening line is this company's 550 days old how the hell is it worth a billion dollars and my opening line is they stole it i get out of the studio and literally there are thousands of tweets of people calling me a [ __ ] idiot and then i guess last year this time right uh facebook bought whatsapp for 18 billion and every article like the next day after the news came out is like oh wait a minute they [ __ ] stole instagram and more ### [6:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeXBBWqKpgc&t=400s) Was Instagram the Steal of the Century? recently gary predicted this acquisition when joe rogan inevitably announces that he paid 100 million dollars to exclusively be on whatever platform he's going to go on i have a funny feeling everyone's going to be like wait a minute i have an announcement the podcast is moving to spotify gary's also involved in a variety of organizations like charity water pencils of promise bojangles mcmack the all-in challenge the minnesota rocker vaynersports and more now let's take a deeper look into gary's

starting with wine content with wine library tv then he moved to hosting the askgaryvee show a q a show between gary and his audience then he started documenting his life's journey through dailyvee and weeklyv like it's so obvious to me what's gonna happen with dailyvee it's gonna be so [ __ ] crazy what it all looks like a year from today and he also started a live stream q a show called t with garyvee gary is also a five times new york times best-selling author and travels across the world for keynotes and has a top business podcast where he talks to some of the biggest entrepreneurs investors artists and thought leaders of our time when gary vaynerchuk retires or goes off from the sunset what do you want to be meant for that i gave more than i took i really want to be remembered
