Summary

THE KING. What an incredible, incredible honor to be interviewed by the one and only, THE LEGENDARY, Larry King. Not only is he the best to ever do it but he's the purest example of what it means to love what you do and do it to the end. There's a reason why he's still working; He found his passion and he continues to execute. Not only was this moment monumental in context but MANY say this is my best interview ever. If you're still trying to get to know me, this is one of the best examples to draw from. <3

0:07.0	media mogul author, web show host and venture capitalist among many other things. As the CEO
0:14.0	and co-founder of VaynerMedia, Gary hosts the hugely popular YouTube show Ask Gary V and

0:51.0	great benefit of being an immigrant. I was born in Belarus in the former Soviet Union. My mother

1:00.0	Minsk and came to the States in 78 when they let some Jews out of there. And we set up in Queens.
1:08.0	And my parents lived the American dream. They worked very hard. My dad was a stockboy in a liquor store

1:38.0	80s and 90s when most people didn't know 30s, 40s and 50s. You're legal immigrant. I am, thank God.
1:44.0	Okay. Otherwise, I'll probably win this show. I fell in love with people collecting wine
1:51.0	when I was 17 because I was into collecting sports cards. That was my connection point. I wanted collecting.
1:57.0	I wanted to build 4,000 wine shops. I was going to build a Toys A Russ of Wine, sell the
