Today I’ve stumbled upon Gary Vaynerchuk. I’m sure I’ve heard of him before, but I probably wasn’t paying attention the way I should’ve been. One of his videos showed up on my YouTube page at the right time, and now I’m locked in.

Everything he was saying, his perspective on life, his confidence, and the way he understands technology and social media, it all felt like an older and more successful version of myself. A big wave of energy rushed over me, and I thought, “It’s time to get to work.”
