Who are the mentors who’ve impacted your career?

This guy pops up on stage named Gary Vaynerchuk. I didn't know who he was at the time, but all I remember hearing is this guy who just dropped one F bomb after another on stage. But what he was saying was resonating. I'm like, this guy is saying something different here about marketing. So that night when we left, I came home and I started digesting his YouTube content. Every morning, I'd wake up and I'd watch 20 minutes of his videos, and he's got plenty of them out there. And I literally did this for two years. Still do it today. But there was a couple messages that kept resonating with me. Number one, he said, you want to grow today in business, you need to start thinking of yourself like a media company. Number two, you want to get attention. You need to dominate page one of Google. And this was all making sense to me. I was still in a market where nobody knew who I was. And I'm like, that's it. And then he said one more thing, which was, I'm in. He said, when you create so much awareness, you will literally guilt people into doing business with you.
