Ep. 157 - Gary Vaynerchuk: Be Successful By Being Yourself

Fifteen percent of you won’t like this interview. “I like that,” he says, “I like being doubted.” But I don’t doubt Gary Vaynerchuk. And that’s why I’m giving away 100 copies of his brand new book, #AskGaryVee: One Entrepreneur's Take on Leadership, Social Media, and Self-Awareness. The details are on my podcast. Gary will be the first to admit that he doesn’t know everything. But he knows everything about everything he knows. “I talk emphatically and with enormous bravado about the things I know and understand,” he says, “and I hedge and punt things I don’t understand.” Gary is transparent. Authentic. Self-aware. And successful. So successful that I dont even like introing him. He wants you to win. And I do, too. “When you understand yourself, you’re able to navigate the world,” he says. But navigating is hard. I have more misunderstandings than understandings. That’s ok. Because it allows me to be curious everyday, do this podcast, write and read three, four or five books a week. “Self-awareness is the single best attribute anyone can be gifted with,” Gary says. But people don’t know if they’re self-aware or not. “Don’t live life hoping and wishing you were something. Start for the first time in your life actually deciding what you are and navigating around that,” he says. Listen to my interview with Gary. Get to know him. And yourself. So you can navigate the world and get your intro. Whatever that may be. Listen now for your chance to win his new book. I recommend it.
