This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

I am not going to waste your time introducing the one and only Gary Vaynerchuk.

There are people in this room who traveled 24 hours by bus just to see this man.

So you better have something smart to say Gary.

Okay.

Ask Gary V. Is Gary's fourth business book, his fifth book total, his first one about wine.

That's where he got his professional start.

I'm hoping you didn't have wine before getting here.

You can have an after because this is the moment, this is the hour where you are going to learn.

I love this word.

I love the whole focus here and learn a bit of Gary's genius.

And I'm going to start because Gary's team gave me the first question and it's just so special that I want to share it.

Genius does not have a timetable.

When did yours first manifest Gary?

Are you kidding me?

It was a sunny day in Belarus.

In a very serious note, forget about the context of that word.

I think it was around the time I turned 30 that I understood that understanding people and consumer behavior was something that I had

and that there was a way to deploy it against something besides selling more wine.

I'm not comfortable with the word genius stuff but this singular thing that I think will allow me to create a lot of success in my life is predicated on emotional intelligence.

I started to understand it a little bit more in my early 30s.

I actually want to go back to the word genius though because your success is based on really, really hard work and grinding it out.
