Those of you that know me also know I am a huge fan of Gary Vaynerchuk. He is loud, passionate and dead on in my opinion. When I heard about a Mashable event featuring Gary after AdTech yesterday I was all over it. Apparently the bar wouldn’t provide Gary with a microphone, so Gary convinced everyone to take it to the sidewalk. He stood on a bucket and shared his thoughts with a crowd of about 50 people standing in light rain. It was awesome.

This video has a decent amount of profanity… suck it up… it’s worth it. I encourage you to snag the video and share it with friends, especially entrepreneurs. This is some inspirational content! Here is my question to you…what are your three take-aways from this video? Please share.

Big ups to the guys at Mashable for putting this on. I really enjoyed it.

    1.) I’ve heard of Gary plenty before now, but I’ve always been a little turned off by him… that has changed.

    2.) If hearing him talk about how he felt when he started winelibrary doesn’t stir the heart strings then you need to find something to be passionate about.

    3.) If you have the passion and are willing to work then good things will happen… if you also have patience then great things will happen.

    Love the new site design, and thanks for posting this video. It makes me want to lock myself in my office at home!

    @Drew:
    Great points drew.

    Another nugget I pulled out and agree with is owning your domain and personal brand.

  • Great seeing you at the Mashable Motivational Meet! The video’s great! I still taste soup dumplings from Joe’s Shanghai …

  • Thanks for posting that video! Great speaker, much more interesting then the average keynote presentations I’ve seen in the past. Very impressive that he could pull it off in the streets of NYC also.

    I really like the way you use double talk and still get to the point. Smart way to get people to use their noggins.
