Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

In today's episode, I am sharing a throw back episode where I sit down with Scott 'Mr. Sqwishy' Jochim, the CEO of Brand Vending Products, and Sqwishland. We chat about the importance of being passionate about what you do, and how realistic it is to monetize your passion if you're really good at it. We also explore the power and allure of vending machines, discussing not only their ability to attract attention but also the sentimental value they hold for many.
