Gary Vaynerchuk builds businesses. Fresh out of college he took his family wine business and grew it from a $3M to a $60M business in just five years.

The show is also available as a podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, and SoundCloud.

Industry Reviews
"Gary is a force of nature. His authentic, raw passion and caring touches everyone. His insights into social media & his message of opportunity could not be more timely." -- Tony Robbins "Gary was the first person to push me on the importance of personal brand and transparency - this was months before anyone was talking about it, he's always two steps ahead of anyone else." -- Kevin Rose, Founder of Digg.com "Anyone looking to supercharge their career should beg, borrow, and steal to learn Gary Vee's techniques. He reinvented the rules to build a $60-million business from scratch-on his own terms." -- Tim Ferriss, #1 NY Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek "Gary Vaynerchuk is one of those entrepreneurs who has discovered the secret to combining passion with business. He is always an inspiration and always entertaining. You owe it to yourself to read this book!" -- Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com "Gary Vaynerchuk has become a walking, talking (and oh, such talking!), webbing and Tweeting example of how believing in what you do and keeping it fun can step up your life in all ways. There is nobody I would rather talk sports with-or wine or life." -- Scott Simon, host of Weekend Edition Saturday on NPR
