Sequel's first episode! - You've probably seen Gary Vaynerchuk if you have a social media account, and may know him as a business personality with a quick wit. But in this episode, we talk about many things Gary hasn't been interviewed on before: his life-changing encounters at airports, getting 5,000 DMs per day, thinking counter-intuitively, and his friends' regrets at 80 years old. For those who may not be familiar, Gary is a serial entrepreneur, CEO, and social media expert. He's the founder of VaynerMedia, a media agency that works with some of the world's biggest brands, and the author of several best-selling books.
