BEST OF: Gary Vaynerchuk: The Story Behind Our Story – Self Awareness & Growth After Failure

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. Gary also happens to hold the spot as one of the most significant catalysts in host Adam Posner’s life. Who, after he was fired from Vayner, led him in the direction of Recruiting and eventually founding NHP Talent and #thePOZcast.

This was a special, full-circle episode for the host Adam, and he hopes that those of you that have been fired in the past or have fallen on hard times can take Gary’s words and my progress since my days at Vayner 6 years ago to heart and use it as a motivation to harness your own inner tenacity to drive your life and career forward. Thanks Gary!

This Episode’s Heavy-Hitters:

Gary’s POV on how others can find their own self-awareness.

Failure is not finite, especially in your career.

Gary “does not play the Glassdoor game.” especially around DEI&B and shares Vayner’s progress

Gary on tough decisions with his staffing: “I’m incredibly canderous as a public figure, but as an operator, delivering bad news to somebody’s face that I like… yeah, destroys me. It’s led to some of the weakest moments in my career of avoidance and having someone else do it.”

Being present with your family and loved ones outside of “work mode” is incredibly difficult. 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.
