Description
Online marketing trailblazer Gary Vaynerchuk is a 33-year-old entrepreneur whose dual identity as both business guru and wine guy has made him known as the “Social Media Sommelier.” A self-trained wine expert, he revolutionized the wine industry with his video blog, Wine Library TV and grew his family wine business from $4 million to $60 million in five years.
While his youthful following broke down barriers in the wine industry, the business and Web 2.0 worlds admired him for creating a new generation of branding, focusing on the Internet and leveraging social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter. As his viewership swelled to over 80,000 a day and his family’s wine business grew to over $60 million a year he made television appearances on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Ellen DeGeneres, NBC’s Today Show, CNBC’s Mad Money with Jim Cramer, and The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, was featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and has become a consultant for Fortune 100 companies, and a keynote speaker around the world.

Impressed
I had some expectation that I would enjoy the author, because I have seen a couple episodes of The Thunder Show, but I was somewhat skeptical how it would relate to me. I had originally put it on my "get to it someday" list after catching a snippet of the press junket, because I find Gary "authentic" and I respect that. I can't actually remember what made me search it out when I got my iPad. Glad I did. I found the Vook and it was AMAZING! Here I'm reading a book about technology and social media with technology and social media embedded in it. You can't make this up. If you are clueless about what's going on in the internet and how it relates to you or how to succeed in a world that is outpacing itself this book is for you. It really opened my eyes to the capabilities of the day and the idea that dreams are still possible. They say when the student is ready the teacher will come. I was ready. It all started with a question, "If I were going to do what he's done what would be my passion?". Now that I am on my way to answering that question all that remains is to CRUSH IT!!!
A quick, engaging and enjoyable read
As a Baby Boomer (on the tail end!) who'd become fairly hooked on learning as much as I could about social media-and how I can use it to impact my commercial real estate business-I'd heard about this guy with the very interesting last name. So when I had the opportunity to buy the "Enhanced Version" of "Crush It"--for the same price as the regular version, no less--I decided to figure out what all the fuss is about.
Gary Vee wants us all to "live with passion", which is a mantra I heard from Tony Robbins at a seminar eons ago. Yet it's not just schtick with this guy. In watching many of the videos included in the enhanced version of the book, the guy clearly has BIG passion for wine, his family, the New York Jets, and using social media to build one's brand. And he provides excellent ideas along the way on how to use the various social media tools along the way.
I imagine there will be new tools, too, 6 months from now. But the author's approach to identifying your passion and jumping right in with what's available now is infectious.
