btw i think that the "over-the-topness" of WLTV has a good balance to it actually. and it's not annoying or anything.

youre awesome Gary! thanks for being you!!

Those who will be "making it happen" long term are those who are truly coming from the heart their "DNA".
If you are not "online" who you really are "in real life" your kinda missing the whole point of what the internet can "really" do.
Peace Gary, bring the thunder!

(I would have @garyvee'd on twitter but the above is more than 140 characters. ;)
Be true to yourself. I'm wishing I coined the term "It's a DNA game." You have the ability to simplify complex ideas. Keep it up and I hope we meet at a conference down the road.
Also "we're in a great goldrush of community"... that's so rad, and so true. i <3 my internet friends!
You're so awesome, Gary! I wish I was there to give you a big hug. What a wonderful, loving, giving friend you are. Thank you so much for sharing it all with us. MWAH! xo
Know your weaknesses and how to overcome them. It is the best interview question you can ask. True for every aspect of life and a key to success.

Good stuff, Gary. It takes quite a bit of oomph for someone to look at themselves and say, yup, this is who I be and I'm going to rock at it. Sadly, many people will never get to that point.

so remember--as you so aptly put--EVERYONE is the media now... and we're paying attention!
Also note, DNA can be altered... and you don't have to 'stand pat' on your DNA. You can grow interesting new facets of your DNA in a petrie dish. You can get bionic. You can make yourself better. Just because you know yourself 'one' way... and that is 'what you do' and 'who you are'... it doesn't mean you can't still be the first one on Mars if you really want to go. If you want something bad enough, and are willing to gut it out, you can make amazing things happen. Regardless of DNA. It happens.
Understanding your DNA is one thing, building on it is another... keep it moving. "Fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of man." It's a George S. Patton quote used in metaphor, but apt. Play with the chemistry set. Unknown explosions you didn't expect make life interesting.
and by the way, coffee makes me invincible. i know this to be true about my DNA. I rated my Kona blend a 95+ pointer this morning.
Keep up the good work, thanks for your passion and your generosity, you're rocking!
PS: Whenever I tell people about WLTV I always say they need to sit through two or three videos before they can decide whether they like you or not because it seems like the people who are turned off initially by how over the top you usually end up really liking the show once they dig into it a bit.
I got into wine at a late age-I was my middle forties. I got into the flavors of wine and how it excited the senses. I found, after engaging in conversation with people I've met, that there was a shared passion and excitement for life. The discovery started when the conversation was about our favorite vintages and varietals, and it would expand beyond just grape juice and into the best things of life and living.
Gary and his insight on this adds tremendous motivation on looking past the follies of the whole wide world, and looking at the wonders of my own little world. For that little bit more in my life, I'm very thankful.
You are really kicking the well hidden human spirt back into the light of day! Keep the GV going...
...your DNA is showing.
Good one.
As a freelance writer I totally value communication, and know how crucial it is to be true to who we really are, present our honest passions in life and most importantly see how our passion can help others.
thank you.
Lovin' the GV.com stuff. I could watch these short snippets every damn day... love wltv too... but those are prob a twice a week thing for me.
Totally agree... it is all a DNA game but too many people try to use other peoples DNA cause they don't know who the hell they are. I think a lot of it is that people have ideas of what they "should be"... rather than who they REALLY ARE.
Man, to tell you the truth I had a tough time tapping into my DNA... and figuring out really what the hell I was all about at my core. When you're livin' from your core... things are so much easier, more fun, and way more successful.
Great stuff man! (oh, it was great meeting you in Orlando at Schefren's event... way cool of you to stay after for 4 hours! When you come to Portland shoot out a note to everyone... I'd love to take you around the wine country here.)
Cheers,

I think it's how you translate your DNA into the things you love, and what you want to do with your life.
Example: You knew you had a personality that just couldn't be contained, so you found an outlet (WLTV, GV.com)to channel what your DNA is giving you. And using the DNA/being yourself mindset allowed you to make something that at first seems like an odd fit (Wine/Tech) become incredibly successful, and infinitely enjoyable.
You're on a roll - these last 4-5 are of a piece.
Keep up the great work.
thanks!
See you all on Twitter (@topicm). :)
Turned up the tunes and broke out the pencils, pens and sketchbook.

Thanks :)
You should try a goatee. I think it could work for you (just seeing shadows on your face in this dark lighting. Either way, I appreciate your great point of view and the provocative things you have on your heart. Also, nice wedding picture in the background :)
What a great quote! This is the first video on garyvaynerchuk.com that I've watched, and previously, I had respect for you because of your wine knowledge and your drive to change something in the world, wine. Now, after watching this video blog, wow! I am always looking for influential people to help shape and mold the way I think and act, and you have done so my friend. Believe me when I say that I will be tuning into this site just as much as I do winelibrarytv to learn about more than just wine from you.
In conversation with another influential person in my life, I was told to find people who will help you grow in your career and overall life. Seeing your success with winelibrary and your joy and passion for life and people has lead me to believe that you are one of those people. The internet is a funny thing, people half way across the country can still have the same influential power as someone at the desk right next to you. Thank you!
Keep up the videoblogging and WLTV, would love an email from you Gary. Take Care!
You've spoken to me directly more than once and I really got excited and really appreciated it because someone who is SO BUSY and getting so popular took a moment out of his day to recognize one person, one-on-one, and it happened to be me!
I'm confident that you'll keep doing what you do, and I hope that it makes you as happy as it makes people like me. A little bit, a little smile, a little reach out, a little anything, can go along way if it's passed along. And you, with a little bit of me and the rest of the fans, I believe we really can change more than just the wine world. :D
