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 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
Im a big fan of Mashable and TechCrunch and other outlets like that, but TechMeme obviously does an amazing job of aggregating. – 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
Im afraid that this is me getting on my high horse now but we have yob television, yob newspapers, and funny enough whereas it was my mum and dad, school, police, church who used to set the standards, now its tabloids and yob television who set the standards by which people live. – Gordon Strachan
