Gary Vaynerchuk

Gary Vaynerchuk has captured attention with his pioneering, multi-faceted approach to personal branding and business. As his viewership swelled to over 80,000 a day, doors opened to a book deal, several national TV appearances, and a flurry of speaking engagements around the world. Gary’s dual identity as both business guru and wine guy has made him the “Social Media Sommelier.”
