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
