Hey everybody this is Gary Vaynerchuk and this is episode 257 of the Ask Gary V show and I've got to say this at a lot of you

Watch or listen to this show. No, I just don't really consume a lot of content

I produce a shitload of content and then I watch how people engage with it

But I'm very fired up to have our guests today because

I'm really I'm besides watching the New York Jets

I think his television show is one of the few things I've consumed in the last three years

And I go on benches right because they play it back to back to back to back to back

I remember I was in Canada once or it was Canada once and I stayed up from like

Midnight to four in the morning back to back to back on who knows what channel they are

John I'm really excited you're here great to be here. Yeah, why don't you tell the Vayner Nation who you are and a little bit about your career

And then we'll answer some questions and I'm just I'm really excited you're here good to be here

You know looking at your background you're not a similar background

So you know, I didn't start in the wine business. I started a restaurant business

Yes, and I started as a bartender. Yes, he came with General Manager. Yes hotel manager resource food and beverage director

Resort General Manager did pretty much everything in the industry that I could and I've been giving speeches the nightclub and bar

Convention and all over the world because you have that kind of personality

I do and I'm and I give very good speeches and you pay well for it

Yeah, so I was giving a speech at a convention somebody comes up to me one day and says John you should be on TV

So I wrote up a little

Piece called on the rocks on the right to a friend of mine who ran Paramount television. Yes, sat down in your office

And he looks me goes John you will never be on television
