You Have to Adapt To The Times

Gary Vaynerchuk

About this episode

Today's episode is a fireside chat/Q&A I gave way back in 2016. I talk about my journey from working at my father's liquor store as a teenager, to growing that same business to a 60 million-dollar company. I dive into the importance of being adaptable in the ever-changing world of advertising and also touch on taking risks and going with your gut. I think this talk is a timeless highlight of the importance of staying nimble in business and following the attention. Hope you enjoy!
