Who it's for

People with a deep interest they’d love to make a living from, small business owners wondering whether social media is worth the effort, and anyone building a personal brand from scratch.

The big idea

Gary Vaynerchuk grew up working in his family’s New Jersey wine and liquor shop and helped turn it into a much larger business, partly by launching an online store and, in 2006, a daily video show about wine.
