"A Big Thank You to Gary Vaynerchuk | How His Hustle Changed My Life"

So I wanted to make a quick video to thank Gary Vaynerchuk for all the hustle and the love and the contributions that he's making to the entrepreneur community. He has a really popular YouTube channel and it's one of the only ones that I watch consistently, have watched every single video he's put out, have commented and liked a whole bunch of them. I first connected with Gary back in 2009-2010 when I was making a line of famous entrepreneur trading cards for charity. And I asked him, Gary, who is your favorite famous entrepreneur? And he said Vince McMahon. And so we created the Vince took my card, number 4 in the series. Then I connected with Frank Gruber and asked him who his favorite famous entrepreneur was, and he said Gary Vaynerchuk. So Gary has his own card as well, number 26 in the series, and we used that money to raise over $100,000 for entrepreneurs in Africa to get their businesses started. And so since then, Gary's had a big impact on my business, and I love watching his videos almost every single day. So Gary, to thank you for all your contributions, I gathered some of your loyal fans, and they had a quick message to share. GaryVee, you are a force. You scare me, you inspire me, you motivate me. You are an extraordinary guy. You haven't helped me, you've helped your audience, you've helped the social media universe. I just think you've lost too much weight. You need to beef it up again. Gary, you're the man. I want to give a huge thank you to Gary Vaynerchuk, especially for his book Crush It, which was the catalyst behind my success as a YouTuber. After reading that book, I hustled hard, started working hard, following his advice, and I took my YouTube channel from about 2,000 subscribers to over 100,000 subscribers with 10 million views. Thank you, Gary. I couldn't have done it without you. Hey, Gary. This is Antoine with Ad Mini Solutions. Thanks a million, man. I've been watching every single episode since day one. I love everything you do. Your, uh, your show is a drug to me. I need my fix. I need at least a couple of shows a week. And I really look forward to 200, 300 episodes. Thank you, man. Hey Gary, this is Derek Showmer. I just wanted to give a word of thanks for all the videos that you've done over the years. I started watching way back on Wine Library, I think, when you were on Revision 3, around that time period. And since then, you've inspired me to create not only an online show around our YouTube channel and all the social that goes around with it, but to have grown our YouTube channel 60,000+ subscribers. And since then, other people have created shows inspired by what I've done. So they've done things inspired by me, I've done things inspired by you. So when you're searching on YouTube and you find a cocktail how-to video that goes through tasting notes and explanations and history, think about it like this. You, with a little bit of me, we changed how cocktails are created on YouTube. Have a good day. Hey Gary, I just wanted to say thank you. I mean, I could, oh my God, I could list the ways and it would just be way too many, my friend. You know what they are. Thank you, thank you for giving so much to the VaynerNation, to my life. It has been a complete joy all of these years. Hey Gary, it's Roberto from robertoblake.com. Thank you so much for all the tremendous value you create for me and everybody else in the VaynerNation watching at home. Thank you also to Evan Carmichael for making this great video to allow us to say thank you to you and give you a shout out, Gary. Speaking of shoutouts, thank you so much for the shoutout in episode 66. Totally unexpected and tremendous. I was so glad to be a part of the #AskGaryVee Show. Anyway, this is Roberto Blake from robertoblake.com, and remember, Gary, create something awesome today. Hey Gary, your advice has helped me so much. You're amazing, thank you. Mwah. See you when I get to New York. G to the [MASKED] V. A little thank you all the way from Cape Town, South Africa, where good wine comes from, for answering my question on episode 104, the one with the bucket. You answered this question over here, so thanks for that. But you know what, also thank you India for adding my name into the bucket. That's it. Come have some wine with us in Cape Town sometime soon and we'll see you in New York for live filming of episode 200. Hey Gary, just wanted to say hi, hello from Sydney to everyone, not only to Gary but to all the Definer Nation. I just wanted to thank you for all the content that you put out every day, they're very valuable. So thank you so much, cheers. Cheers Gary, coffee salute to you from Poland, all the best. Hey Gary, Zach Sai from Stockholm, Sweden here and I want to thank you for the amazing books and videos. And also for creating such an amazing community around them. Whenever I feel like I'm climbing that hill alone, I can always turn to these amazing people and get some feedback and ideas. So I want to thank you for that. And also a big shout out to Evan Carmichael for making this video happen. And I want to wish you a kick-ass creative day. Hi Gary, this is Yash Tanvi from India. I just want to say a big thank you to you I don't think you can understand the impact you've had on my career, business. It's almost like you've been a mentor to me. So big thank you and please keep doing what you're doing. Thank you, Gary. Hey, I just want to say thanks to Gary Vee for the inspirational videos. Keep up the good work. It's helping a lot of people. I got my "What's the ROI of your mother shirt" on. Anyway, keep up the good work, and I hope you buy the Jets. Gary, it's way past midnight and way past the deadline for this video, but I still want to take the opportunity to thank you. Why? Because it doesn't matter where you are, whether you're on an airplane, on the street, during jury duty, you take the time to make content for us. So the least, the least I could do is thank you for everything you've done. Everything. Thanks a lot. Hey Gary, it's your good friend Adam Ivey, and I just wanted to take a quick second to thank you personally for the positive influence and the passive mentorship that you've provided me over the years through your videos and your articles, your books, and obviously the continuous social interaction. It's inspired me to become the Gary Vaynerchuk of my generation, and for that it means a lot and I genuinely appreciate it. Shoot me an email and follow me on Twitter @AdamIvey and we'll see you around. Hi GaryVee. Hey GaryVee. Hey GaryVee. Hey GaryVee. She is one of my 5 kids and the reason why I do what I do. Thank you for your GaryVee Show, thank you for your books, thank you for your blog, thank you for the advice, encouragement, and all that you do. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching. Hey Gary, Rich here from Blue Stripe Creative, @thebluestripe on Twitter. Just wanted to thank you for all that you do, all the podcasts, all the books, all the social media posts. You're a true inspiration to business owners. Business owners such as myself since the first day that I opened my business. Keep doing what you're doing, pal. Appreciate it. Hello, Gary. Do you have any idea who I am? Who the fuck heard? It's Matt, the guy asking you questions about YouTube, and thanks a lot for your answers, your honesty, and keep inspiring us. Thanks, Gary.

Just got done, almost done with the Millionaire Intensive seminar, and we just want to come to you and say thank you so much. You've added so much value to my life, and the number one thing I got from you is always give, give, give, and overdeliver. So thank you so much, Gary Vee. Yeah, Gary, thank you so much too. The number one thing that you've helped me with and really inspired me to do is just be able to be myself and be able to feel and know that I can actually create a business around my passion and do what it was that I truly wanted to do and just be myself because it's so transparent in everything you put out there. You were 100% totally just yourself. So thank you so much again, and we'll talk to you, bye. Hey Gary, Robert from Miami here, Traveling Robert at YouTube. Just a quick video to say thank you for all your videos, for all the knowledge and wisdom you have spread over the years. It's been almost, what, almost 10 years? At first you told us about wine, now you're teaching us how to succeed in business, so for that, thank you. Gary, David Hay from Scotland here. From all things, you've probably seen me, over the last sort of 6 months, follow you, engage, keeping up the hustle. So just wanted to say a massive thank you. We're big fans over here in Scotland. And yeah, keep up the good work, mate. Cheers. Hi, this is Amanda Osorio from Mitchell Intellectual Property Law. Thanks, Gary, for answering my question, and thank you to the GaryVee team for everything you guys do. We really appreciate you. GaryVee. What's up, man? Gary Vee! My name is Tim Black of Tim's Take Live here on YouTube, man. I gotta tell you, first of all, you the man. I'm not saying that lightly. Don't take it lightly. I mean it. Look, when I need information, when I need substance, not fluff, not the fluffy stuff people just say 'cause it sounds good, when I need the real deal, I don't go anywhere but Gary Vee. The GaryVee Show, that's it. Alright, so look man, I know you have a lot going on, you got a lot on your plate. I want to thank you for taking time out to help me. You don't even know me and you help me. You inspire me. Thank you, sir. Gary, Mike Best here, long-time fan, and thanks to Evan Carmichael, here to say thank you. I thought I'd just choose one specific thing, and that's saying thank you for introducing me to this. This is Jugandas La Pallière, which you did on a Wine Library TV show with Kermit Lynch. I went out and bought a dozen bottles and have been drinking one bottle a year since 2010. So thank you for that. Agree 100% with Monday Motivation. Love the #AskGaryVee Show. Gary, thank you. Hey Gary, thanks for teaching me the difference between working like a dog and hustling. Who knows, maybe you even hustle better than 50 Cent. Thanks for the Cambodian islands and hope to see you in London soon, man. Love to catch up. What's up, Gary Vee? Just want to say thank you. Chris Smith here. You actually were willing to put your name on a self-published book that we wrote and, you know, we have a good relationship, but you kind of put your neck out there and the book went on to sell, you know, more than 17,000 copies. It's a huge hit and it's all because you really do live a people work lifestyle. You've helped so many people that don't even know you. You know, my friend, he called me when I first heard about you. He's like, hey, I'm at this event. You gotta, you gotta look this guy up. His name's Gary Vee. I'm like, what do you like about him? He's like, he just told 40% of the room that they're in the wrong fucking industry. And I just went online. I remember that digital trench, Gary, was so deep and so wide with so much great content that I bought Crush It!, bought the ebook, bought the book. You know, thank you, economy. Been a fan. You've been a mentor from afar. You've touched so many people's lives. So thank you for everything you've done. Talk soon. Hey Gary, I've been following you since about the time you started the #AskGaryVee Show. Since then, you reminded me of some things I'd forgotten and you taught me some new ways to look at things. Most of all, you've helped me get focused again. You even got me onto Instagram, you turkey. Your jabs are plentiful and your right hooks are rare. Rare enough that I almost feel guilty absorbing all the wisdom you've shared. I wonder if you really realize how much difference it's made to those of us that actually put your advice into practice. So thanks, Gary, for being you. Now tell me, what can I do for you? Hey, GaryVee, I just wanna say thank you personally so much for being such an inspiration. That mad, hard, tough, but fair self-love talk that you do has inspired me in the way that I self-talk and self-motivate and now become even more self-aware about who I am and what my strengths are. Your voice is always ringing in my head, and I always kind of infect everybody around me. Have you heard of GaryVee? Just the voice, just the message, to have that in the air, in the atmosphere as I'm creating my content is just one of those things that's part of my routine. Black coffee, GaryVee. Thank you so much for everything you do. Keep rocking, and I can't wait to see what happens in the future. Peace. Hey Gary, this is Dan Shore in Worcester, Massachusetts. I wanted to thank you especially for your advice on listening to people in Twitter, having conversations around topics in your industry and trying to be helpful. I did this and came up with a blog post idea because I was listening to people, wanted to provide value. That blog post has generated 30,000 visits, actual direct business from people discovering me through that piece of content, and I could not have done it without your advice. So thank you for all the things that you do for the entrepreneur and marketing communities. It is very much appreciated. Thank you. Is it on? Hey Gary, it's Dawn D'Arrusso. I just wanted to send a huge thank you for all the amazing content you've created over the years since Wine Library. I've loved every minute of it and been able to use so much of it for my business. Thanks. Hey Gary, just wanted to say thanks for all the content you put out there and the great information. Even out here in the country working in agriculture, it's valuable to us, so we appreciate it, and thanks again for all you do. Hi Gary, @AndrewPaulStone from Portland, Oregon, now in Barcelona, Spain. I want to say a big thank you for everything you've done for VaynerNation. Hey Gary, just wanted to say thank you so much for everything that you invest into your community. The content you're putting out on a regular basis isn't just great content, It's a huge inspiration to those of us trying to hustle alongside with you. So thank you so much for everything you do, man. I appreciate it. Gary Vee, man, you've given me one of your greatest assets, your time. I really appreciate it. So grateful, actually. So grateful, in fact, I'm willing to get a ticket just trying to thank you because I'm definitely not driving hands-free here in California. But thank you, my man. Um, you're a good guy. Hey Gary, Jimmy Fisher here, and I wanted to say thank you so much for all that you've poured into me over the years, all the value you've created for me, uh, being a loyal Vayniac since pre-Crush It! days. And the best way I can say thank you is to put what you've taught me in action, and I've done that with my digital agency JuiceboxNY, that's J-U-C-E-B-O-X, and I'm actually opening a bar with my brother The Wilkie in Brooklyn in 2015. So all about experiences for our customers there too. Appreciate you. Thank you so much. Hey Gary, it's Tom Pellegrino @TaglineTom, and I want to thank you very much for putting on the podcast. They're awesome. They're great advice for people who have questions regardless of what field they're in—marketing, media, or in my case, HR—and it's great to know that when we have questions, you answer them. This video is just to say Thank you to Gary Vee for his continued commitment to his community through the #AskGaryVee Show. Every episode is inspirational, motivational, and educational. Gary Vee, thank you for all that you do. Hey Gary, I wish I looked better for this and had a better background. Yeah, I really want to express my appreciation for you and for everything you've done for not only me but everybody out there. You give the purest advice and express the purest thoughts, and you tell us to keep on hustling, and that's what we're gonna do, you know? I hope you have a great summer, and yeah, keep on being healthy, and just take care, man. Hey Gary, this is Sam Meldon from Toledo, Ohio. I've been following your work since the Wine Library TV days, and now with the #AskGaryVee Show, it's really, really helpful to me. I run a small nonprofit in Toledo, and everything you say say your whole work, it's really great. So thank you so much. I found Gary Vaynerchuk through several different, uh, pathways. First, uh, Video Creators. I love Video Creators with Tim Schmoyer. And then he suggested Evan Carmichael, and I love Evan Carmichael. He's so inspirational. It makes YouTubing and trying to be an entrepreneur so much more so much less lonely to have people that are saying they're going through the same thing and they're to support each other. And so I watch Evan Carmichael, and he suggested Gary Vaynerchuk. Did I say it right? I think I got it right. Vaynerchuk. I love to watch him. He's so full of energy and pizzazz and just a you-can-do-it personality. I've really enjoyed watching his videos. So thank you to all of you out there who Inspire me and hopefully you will continue to have the success that you've had up to this point. Thank you. Hey Gary Vee, Scout and Rob from CoinF TV. Just want to say what's up. Thanks for all your advice on hustling and learning how to play the game. Take care. Hey Gary Vee, it's Bridget Willard from You Too Can Be a Guru. I just wanted to say thanks for all of your hard work and your free information and your daily marketing classes. On the #AskGaryVee Show. It's really encouraging for somebody like me who doesn't have a journalism or marketing degree, who's self-taught in social media, to see someone so successful who also doesn't have those degrees. So we appreciate you and we're thankful for all your hard work and all that you do to encourage all of us in small business. Remember, you too can be a guru. Hi Gary, Dylan here from South Africa. I just want to say a quick quick thank you. I wanted to say thank you for being a brand beacon in our industry, being open, being honest, just pushing the envelope and driving others to be better. Thank you so much. Ciao. Hey Gary Vaynerchuk, it's Gigi here. Just shouting out a huge thank you. Hey Gary, I wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge, for showing people that being successful also means being grateful and humble. And thank you for my new friends whom I met here in Poland thanks to your #AskGaryVee Show. Dziękuję. Hey Gary, this is Lewis Foreman coming to you live from Boston, thanking you for doing the #AskGaryVee Show, answering my question in episode 88, and just giving us great ideas and things that we can do to improve our clients' business, but also inspire. And I'm gonna go listen to your podcast again and again and again. Thanks, Gary. Gary, what's up, brother? Jason Goldberg here. Hey, just wanted to give you a quick shout. Ever since I met you at Full Sail University years ago when you were giving a talk and I said you looked looked like and sounded like Charlie Day from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and you had no clue who I was talking about at all. I've been following you, and you know what, man? I don't always agree with what you're saying, and that doesn't matter because you always make me think. You always provoke me and have me question what I'm doing, my level of commitment, what it is that I agree with in the world, what it is that I don't agree with in the world, and why, so I can really grow and become a better person and a more successful person in the world and have a deeper impact for the people that I work with. So Dude, I thank you for the work you're doing in this world. It does so much for so many people. Lots of love to you and keep it up, bruh. Peace! It's the Polish kid from your 100th episode. Thanks for putting out so much great content and I can't wait to read your next book. So thank you, Gary, for your hustle, for your contributions to the entrepreneur community. As you've seen, you've made a big impact on a lot of people. Thank you so much. Believe.
