Listen "Gary Vaynerchuk: Why Perspective Will Make or Break You"
Episode Synopsis
Gary Vaynerchuk did not speak a word of English when he emigrated from the former Soviet Union to the United States. He was failing school as a D and F student, and many people also expected him to fail in life. However, his optimism, drive, and work ethic are living proof that the American dream is alive. Join host Tom Bilyeu as he and the four-time New York Times best-selling author and head of VaynerMedia go deep on the magic of entrepreneurship in this episode of Impact Theory.
