I want people to know their palate is a snowflake. We all like different things. Why should we all have the same taste in wines? Gary Vaynerchuk palatepeoplesnowflake Change image and share on social
Winelibrary.tv was about building personal brand equity. It was a business move. Now, it was totally surrounded by a passion for wine, but I very much gave a lot of thought to doing a sports-video blog instead. Gary Vaynerchuk blogbrandbuild share on social
IQ is a commodity, data is a commodity. I'm far more interested in watching people interact at a restaurant with their smartphone. We can all read 'Tech Crunch,' 'Ad Age.' I would rather be living in the trenches. I would rather be going to Whole Foods in Columbus Circle to watch people shop with their smartphones. Gary Vaynerchuk agecirclecolumbus share on social
I went online with winelibrary.com in July of 1997; that was my first professional online play. Gary Vaynerchuk julyonlineplay Change image and share on social
One of the things that I'm really proud of is that I have really good timing. It's very easy for me to see what's coming up and it's no coincidence that I went headfirst into wine and then headfirst into new media - none at all. Gary Vaynerchuk coincidencecomeeasy share on social
I'm a storyteller. I love to tell stories about brands. I love to tell stories, period. I like painting pictures through the words, and that's what I do. Gary Vaynerchuk brandlovepaint Change image and share on social
Stop doing things that waste time. Don't replace time with your family or things that you need to do. I needed to put together two fantasy teams this weekend because that's something I enjoy, but I did stop playing Nintendo Wii for hours on end. Gary Vaynerchuk endenjoyfamily share on social
Anyone working for a big company might be skeptical that a large business, or even a strictly online business, can form the same kind of friendly, loyal relationship with customers as a local retailer. I'm saying it's already been done because I lived it. Gary Vaynerchuk bigbusinesscompany share on social
I would argue heavily that the time that has been allocated to social used to come from television, and people are benefitting from it. People who are saying, 'Aw, you're spending all your time on Facebook, or all your time on Twitter,' I'd like to understand what the person used to do with that time.

I always say that the real success of Wine Library wasn't due to the videos I posted, but to the hours I spent talking to people online afterward, making connections and building relationships. Gary Vaynerchuk afterwardbuildconnection Change image and share on social
