Discussing Early Days with Brian Scudamo...

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

A typical day as Chairman of VaynerX, meeting CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Brian Scudamore and discussing his early years of starting from a single truck. Instagram live with Entrepreneur University, where they walked me through 5 steps to get me to speak at an event, well almost. Lil Keed came into the office and we talked about his next album drop and what's next. Ended the day with Rabiah Sutton, Founder and CEO of FWDthink.
