My Take
Gary Vaynerchuk, or Gary Vee, interests me as a story before a brand. An immigrant born in Babruysk, Belarus, who became one of the loudest voices of the internet age, he sells enthusiasm itself, which is the easiest thing in the world to mock and the hardest thing to sustain. Yet I notice he backs the noise with action, founding the restaurant reservation company Resy and graduating from the University of Michigan. Hustle culture often rings hollow to me, but when I remember he climbed from nothing as a newcomer, I cannot help respecting the sheer drive behind the showmanship.
