If you don’t know who Gary Vay-ner-chuk is, you really need to find out. When you’re looking for a non-Internet, non-Tech business that has successfully used the Internet and social media to expand and grow, Wine Library TV is the perfect example. Gary has built his personal and company brands up with a lot of hard work and enthusiasm and a bit of business know-how.
I’m excited about interviewing Gary not only for what he’s done, but what he stands for and what he believes in: being passionate, being patient, and working hard (without forgeting your family). With so many so-called Internet Marketers out there claiming you can make a quick buck online, Gary is a breath of fresh air who is honest about how much work it takes to build up your brand. Gary says all this better himself, so take a few minutes to watch his keynote at Web 2.0 Expo (there’s some swearing, so it may not be safe for your work – nsfw):
I hope you’ll join me on Twitter this Thursday, Sept. 24th at 10:30 EST to help me interview Gary about his new book, Crush It! Why Now is the Time to Cash in on Your Passion. Follow Gary (@garyvee) and Sazbean (@sazbean) to see the full conversation. Hashtag will be #crushitbook. If you have any questions you’d like to ask Gary, please leave them in the comments or email them to me at saz at sazbean dot com. For more information about the interview, check here and here. Hope to see you on Twitter!
