#77 The Biggest Bets I Made — And How They Paid Off: Gary Vee
In a world drowning in noise, the ability to capture and monetize attention isn't just a skill—it's the entire damn game. That’s why today, we’ve got Gary Vaynerchuk… the man who doesn’t just predict digital trends, he makes them. For over two decades, from transforming a local liquor store into an e-commerce pioneer to building VaynerMedia into a global powerhouse, he’s made foundational bets on giants like Facebook and Twitter before most even had accounts. He’s a multiple New York Times bestselling author, commands a daily global audience in the tens of millions, and has built a multi-industry empire by showing entrepreneurs how to turn overlooked attention into undeniable results and lasting legacy.
