Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee), founder of the insanely successful Wine Library TV, social media guru, entrepreneur, author and proud dad, sat with Charlie Oliver (@itscomplicated) of ArtofTalk.tv (@artoftalk) to discuss the ups and downs that have lead to the many revelations about life that he shares in his new book, Crush It – Why Now Is the Time to Cash In On Your Passion.

What follows is both candid and surprisingly revealing (even for the “vayniacs” out there who think they know everything about Gary Vaynerchuk).  Particularly and scandalously surprising – Vaynerchuk’s confession that he’d rather be called a social media diva rather than a social media don (a revelation Charlie calls her “Barbara Walters moment”).

Gary Vaynerchuk (love him or not) is one of a kind.  Enjoy Charlie’s enlightening and fun peak at the man behind the brand.
