If you've every wanted to crush it in business and life then this episode is for you.

Our next guest on The School of Greatness was a local legend at 12 years old by making thousands on weekends from selling baseball cards at a local mall and later took his fathers company from $3 million to a $45 million business with his online marketing savvy.

He's written two New York Times bestselling books and his most recent book is all about how to tell your unique story in a social world.  Although he may never beat me in ping pong or a basketball game (ha ha), he's one tough competitor to chase in business, so please welcome my friend, Gary Vaynerchuk.

Gary Vaynerchuk: Inside the Mind of Entrepreneurial Greatness

#QOTD: What question would you really like to ask me based on Steve's last question that you've never asked me? Meaning: can you come up with an interesting question for me?

All of my strategy is completely intuition. Why? Because if you look at my twenty year career, most of it has been guessing, and, I'd like to think, projecting where the market is going to go. There was no data on what e-commerce would do in 1996. There was no data on email marketing when you were one of the first hundred people using it. There was no data on what Instagram was going to bring us in value when AJ sold Brisk Iced Tea an Instagram campaign thirteen days after Instagram launched. And...there was no data around Vine celebrities when I launched my Vine talent agency 110 days after Vine launched. 

So from a strategy standpoint, I get the accolades and have the luxury of doing a show that people actually watch completely on intuition because that's what I have that other people don't have. It's no different than being great at basketball or being attractive or all the other good things that can happen in life. It was just there. 

But, I do think data still plays a role. I make these predictions, but then to actually run the business you need to know what's going on. My practicality comes into play. VaynerMedia grew very quickly, and you don't do that if you can't make payroll, right? You obviously need that practicality to run a business. 

I used to think I was a super 50/50 guy on this. My personality and communication style gets people's attention and put me in one place, but I take enormous pride in being able to shut up some times too. The first ten years of my career I kept my mouth shut. I built something and then I started talking.

So it's both. I built the data early in my career. I got into business and entrepreneurship early. But now I'm making calls on intuition. I need both.

#QOTD: (26:53) With all these innovations and disruptions, if you had to think of the perfect job you'd want to have in the near future or in the longterm, what do you think it should be? What do you want to be now and what do you think you'll want to be in the future

#TIMESTAMPS:

Archangel Summit Gary Vaynerchuk Keynote | Fall 2016

So much love for anyone who decides to intern with us at VaynerMedia. Means the absolute world to me and there's nothing better than seeing those same interns come work for us full-time when they're ready. This is a talk I gave to this past summer's interns at VM. Such a great discussion and I made sure I did my best to be as open and honest to them about how to approach their time here and the years to follow. For anyone in their position or know people that might be, I suggest you take a listen. Nothing fluffy here ;)

Fireside Chat w/ VaynerMedia Interns

Self-esteem is the game, folks, and thankfully for me I was blessed with a mother who drilled that confidence in me from a very early age. It's time for us to stop focusing on what we perceive as our weaknesses or the fear of letting those around us down. At the end of the day, for all we know, there's only one shot at this, and I implore you to live a life that will lead to no regrets. It's definitely not easy but it's a north star we should all aspire to work towards.&nbsp;

6-Minutes on How to Be More Confident

Here's a FIRE talk I did a few weeks back in New Orleans. For those that know me well you'll know that my DNA is small business and retail. I rarely do this but the second I got off the stage I told my team that this talk needed to go public ASAP. A huge thanks to the guys at BioGuard Leadership Conference for having me. For all you working in the "small business" space, this one is VERY important.&nbsp;

THE 2017 SMALL BUSINESS TALK | New Orleans, 2017

Daymond John, judge on Shark Tank and founder of FUBU just opened a brand new co-working space in NYC called Blueprint + Co. To open the doors he had me join him on stage for a great fireside chat and Q&amp;A. Was so much fun seeing all my NYC peeps stop by and sharing the stage with my good pal Daymond. What an incredible space he's opened. Check this one out for some good ole fashioned heat and flames !!&nbsp;

A Fireside Chat with Shark Tank's Daymond John

Last week I was out in Dublin for the Dublin Tech Summit. Such a great event and a huge thanks to everyone that show me love.&nbsp;In this interview we&nbsp;cover the evolution of communication, the truth about fake news, silence all the haters complaining about how the Internet has 'ruined' us, and the big question of does social media change us or expose us?

An Interview with a Dublin Journalist

So we don't typically post DailyVees to the podcast because a lot of the context can get lost without the footage but this one was special, where I&nbsp;decided to talk through my day to provide the necessary context for all those watching and listening. The theme in this one is patience and is dedicated to everybody with a ‘I want it NOW’ mentality. Whether it’s the stock market, passing up on a 1st class plane ticket, or charging money for content… I THINK LONG TERM, and it pays off, LONG TERM. Remember, marathon runners don't win sprints. Hope you enjoy this one !!&nbsp;
