I saw a minute or two of his wine show and didn't really pay much attention after that, because I took it as he was just some wine guy (I don't drink wine, so the topic was boring to me). I kept hearing his name come up, and had just ignored it because he was just that wine guy. Then a few weeks ago someone put up an affiliate page for something of his, including the web 2.0 video. I wouldn't have even watched it, but the line "Stop watching fucking lost!" was the title of the page. At the time, I was trying to resolve a major issue of how to do something or categorize something with my business. I love the video, it made perfect sense with regards to business in today's world. I watched a 2nd video on his site, and it made clear the solution I was looking for with my business. Just like that, 2 short videos and I had my solution clarified for me. Obviously I learned that I shouldn't pigeon-hole subjects I think don't matter to me, as there is always something I can learn.

He connects and responds with everyone he possibly can. He is proof that hard work, a unique story and some business commonsense are the ingredients for success. I remember back a year ago when Gary V. and Tim Ferriss had comparable Twitter followers and popularity. Twitter followers today. Tim Ferriss 61,538 Gary Vaynerchuk 851,914 More notable figures. Tim follows 199 people. Gary follows 9,968 people. If you want one more test, send both an email. Gary will probably personally respond, you might get an autoresponder some day from Tim. The moral of the story. There is no substitute for hard work and building real relationships. Gary Vaynerchuk epitomizes what it means to be successful in a social media dominated world.
