188: Stop Trying And Start Crushing It: Our In-Depth Interview With Gary Vee

“I’m not crippled with being perfect. I’m crippled with not doing,” Gary Vaynerchuk says, and that about sums up the philosophy that propels him ahead in life and business—avoiding hesitation and seizing the moment at all costs. To many, Vaynerchuck (aka Gary Vee) needs no introduction. He’s a serial entrepreneur, four-time New York Times-bestselling author, venture capitalist, popular podcast host, and sought-after public speaker serving an audience of millions. And he's showing no signs of slowing down. How does this guy accomplish so much? Vaynerchuk doesn’t agonize or hesitate when starting something new. He dives in voraciously, working his tail off and learning as he goes. He also never aspires to "have it all." Too often, entrepreneurs strive for some lofty material goal as the finish line, but for Vaynerchuk, having it all begins on the first day we embark on our entrepreneurial journeys. The reward is in the process itself. In this interview, Vaynerchuk shares tidbits from his new book Crushing It! (an updated version of his 2009 bestseller), unpacks epic branding and marketing tips that have led to his success, and reveals his personal philosophy on GSD. Gary Vee wants aspiring entrepreneurs to crush it with him. Are you on board? Listen in and get inspired. Key Takeaways What it really means to “have it all,” and why you may already have it Why trying instead of doing leads to stagnation Why all businesses need to be media producers, regardless of their business models Insights on the personal vs. professional brand debate and how to decide what's best for you Why omni-channel branding draws more people to your company
