Im concerned a little bit with the culture of celebrating the fundraise. My dad taught me that when you borrow money its the worst day of your life. – Gary Vaynerchuk
My dad is like a cactus – introverted and tough. Im a people person, like my mom, but I got my competitiveness from my dad. He came to this country from Belarus with nothing and built a real business. Hes my hero for giving me that need to run a business and for having enormous confidence in me. – Gary Vaynerchuk
Im not afraid to call a wine that tastes like Skittles or green peppers mixed with orange marmalade. Ill say, It tastes like chicken. I mean, thats not what people think of when they think of wine, but thats what it tastes like to me and it hits home. – Gary Vaynerchuk
Even though Im a hype man myself, I like the practicality of it all. People who understand how to turn a profit. At the end of the day, this is still business so Im looking for real practical knowledge of how to actually make money, not necessarily raise it. – Gary Vaynerchuk
