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

Nearly ten years ago, Simon Sinek presented a simple concept with a deep message: Start with why you do what you do—and the rest will follow. The humble talk, which was given in Puget Sound, soon skyrocketed to be one of the most watched TED Talks of all time. Since that time, Simon has explored ways to help inspire people in their daily lives and extrapolate what makes great leaders. In the 3rd episode of IDEA NOSH, Simon and I discuss

Start with Why and Leaders Eat Last (5:31-32.56),
Personal life and inspiration  (32:55-52:30), and
Questions from the guest (51:17-01:09:13)
