Fans of #thePOZcast, this is one you have all been waiting for! Gary Vaynerchuk is the CEO of VaynerMedia, five-time New York Times best-selling author, and one of the most defining personalities in the world of entrepreneurship of our time.

The only thing that makes it better over time is practice, practice, practice. - On managing anxiety: “Whether it’s your parents, older brother… you’ve gotta understand that until you feel like you’re 100% in control of your life… you will always be vulnerable to anxiety.” - Gary's greatest piece of advice ever received from his dad around honesty. - Gary Vee's North Star, find out by tuning in!
