Self-made entrepreneur and digital marketing pioneer, Gary Vaynerchuk (aka Gary Vee), shares his secrets to starting out as an entrepreneur and growing a successful business empire in 2024. We also talk about the importance of gratitude, kind candor, and fighting for your happiness.
Today’s guest is not a scientist but a true visionary. Gary Vaynerchuk (aka Gary Vee), is a self-made entrepreneur and digital marketing pioneer. He started his business journey with a lemonade stand at age seven. Now, he’s a prolific content creator, best-selling author, and the co-founder of the massive digital agency VaynerMedia.
What I love about Gary is that he leads with integrity, optimism, and, above all, gratitude. He’s a guy of wisdom, not just business—and that’s an important element of what The Human Upgrade is all about.
In today’s episode, we explore how entrepreneurship has changed since Gary and I started. We get into how to grow a business in 2024 and Gary’s advice for anyone starting out. His secret to success will surprise you.
We talk a lot about gratitude, and how that lens has shaped Gary’s long career and kept him from burning out. Gary also shares his perspective on today’s social media landscape, the importance of kind candor, and why we should be looking to our elders.
No doubt, listening to Gary will inspire you to go after your passions and try that thing you’ve been putting off. In Gary’s words, your happiness is worth fighting for!
