Sam Harris…  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is filler text.  This is.

Why Sam?

For the time being, this site is mostly just a data dump.  Over time, it may become more useful to the outside observer.  Who knows?

I don’t claim to be an expert on anyone I write about.

Hell, I hardly claim to be an expert on myself.

These profiles are largely for me.  I use them to record and reference.  In the future, I may make them more meaningful to the outside observer.

No guarantees.  Let’s start small.

JBP Foil

This is an odd way to put it.  But it’s the only phrase that captures the entire bucket.  Gary thinks like a Scorpio.

Honey Empire

Many of my heroes talk about company culture.  Gary’s idea of a “Honey Empire” is one of the best.

Similar Industry

Most people know Gary as “that social media guy.”  Makes sense.  He’s one of—if not the—best at it on the planet.

Billion $ Dream

Gary wants to buy the Jets.  Big dream, but he has a practical plan for it.  Luckily, he is documenting the journey.

Sam Harris Bio

Most people know Gary as “that social media guy.”

For me personally, he’s a lot more.

But I’ll get to that.  First, let’s just answer…

Who is Gary Vee?

Gary Vaynerchuk is a serial entrepreneur, currently acting as chairman and CEO of VaynerX and VaynerMedia, respectively.  He’s a well known social media personality who is likely to become a mainstream cultural icon before it’s all said and done.

He’s also going to buy the NY Jets.

Born in Babruysk, Belarus, Gary gives credit for his success to his family and upbringing.  An immigrant’s mindset and “perfect parenting” gave him the perspective and the self confidence to double down on his strengths.

As Seen By Me

More than anyone else:

Gary is the reason I started creating hero profiles.

Now that I’ve started, I see that his profile may be less useful than my other heroes to other people.  But his will likely always remain the most important to me.

I fucking love this dude.  He changed my life.

More accurately, he teamed up with Nahko to save my life.

I’m not quite sure when I found him.  I featured him all the way back in one of my first posts for Greensboro SEO Pro.

DailyVee Episode 101 was the first “Moticut” I ever used to start brainwashing myself.  Beyond that, I’ve listened to many a Gary Vee keynote, interview, and rant.

My Posts About Sam

Gary makes an appearance in more of my posts than anyone else at this point.  That may never change.  There’s a reason he’s number one in my G.O.A.T. Rank.

Gary Vee’s 4 Ds Meeting Videos are AMAZING!!!

There's a lot of great business content online. I might have consumed an unhealthy amount of it already. Now, I'm more on the application side. So PBD at Valuetainment gets more of my watchtime than anyone else right now.  Actionable advice to the extreme. It might be...

How to Become a Morning Person [Life-Changing Habit #1]

How to Become a Morning Person [Life-Changing Habit #1]

Becoming a "morning person" has changed my life. Only time will tell, but it could go down as a top five factor to my future success. Learning how to wake up early wasn't easy. Until the second half of 2018, I've been a notoriously late sleeper. It started as a kid: I...

How Gary Vee and Nahko Bear Teamed Up to Save My Life

Once upon a time, I was in a deep, dark place. It was completely self-imposed. I loved a girl.  She gave me the world's greatest kids. But I was a dick.  So she ran away with them.  Good on her. It fucking huuuuuuuuurt though. It almost did me in. How? It took me so...

My Month in Personal Growth – July 2018

Two weeks and some change late. No biggie. This thang bout to get shipped though. At the end of July, I took off to Arizona.  Predictably, it's gotten me behind on few things. These posts are basically useless to anyone who I'm not close with.  So it makes sense to...

My Month in Personal Growth – February 2018

Yaaaaaaaaaaay! I made it to my second monthly personal growth post! A year from now, these posts will be a great resource.  Again, I'm all about brainwashing myself.  Repetition helps.  So I will use this this partially as a record of all of my favorite talks.  Last...

My Month in Personal Growth – January 2018

As I mentioned in my Grateful as Fnck post: I'm going to try to start a regular blogging habit. It's about time.  After all, I've had high-paying copywriting clients for several years now.  I should have started writing for myself when I first began my work from home...
