Gary Vaynerchuk is a true grinder. He built his father’s $4 million dollar wine business into a $50 million alcohol empire. He then start a digital media company and published a collection of best-selling books. Gary has a distinctly unique communication style that paints a picture for anyone in business who is trying to navigate the modern business world.
His words have improved my strategies for marketing my podcast and my blog despite the book spanning less than 135 pages. He lays out a clear philosophy on what young professionals should be prioritizing in the early years of their career and offers decades of expertise and knowledge that is invaluable for any aspiring entrepreneur. More than any other review I have put out so far, I urge you to READ THIS BOOK. Who should read this; Anyone under the age of 35. Any entrepreneur. Every person in charge of the social media and market (they are synonymous!) for any enterprise. Who should skip it; Those who have no desire for an above average lifestyle or have a phobia of social media. Interesting tidbit; Gary V is a lifelong Jets fan with a dream to one day purchase the franchise. I bet he does it. Buy it here

.............. 1. Don’t ask me to remind you of something later. All you are doing is transferring your future failure to me. I’m not going to remember your thing. 2. If you don’t have an opinion on where to eat, I’m going to give you two choices. Please pick one. Ideally, that is the end of the conversation, not the starting point. 3. Don’t mail me anything. And don’t ask me to mail you anything. I no longer allow physical mail in my home. I stop it in the garage and process it for recycling. Physical mail is little more than garbage that gets delivered. (Not counting packages you actually ordered.) 4. Don’t send me to find something for you. I won’t be able to find that email or file you want. I won’t be able to find the mustard in the fridge. I won’t be able to find your keys where you claim you left them. I won’t be able to find anything. If it is lost, and you need it, I can’t solve that problem. I’m busy looking for my own lost stuff. 5. Don’t me tell long stories when my body is three-quarters turned away and I am literally miming that I am taking a step away from you. That is the “I need to do something right now” look and it is your cue to wrap up your story. 6. If I invite you to do anything – no matter what it is – do not extend that invitation to some other dude because you think he would like it too. You may invite a woman without checking with me first. But I do not accept dude pass-through invitation. I have enough guys in my life. I don’t want to meet your friend even though I am sure he is terrific. 7. Don’t ask me to have a movie night at my house. It is not possible to find three adults who want to watch the same movie at the same time. 8. Don’t ask me to take a walk with you if you plan to bring your phone. 9. If you’re being a scientific moron, I’m going to call you out, even if we’re on the same side of a social debate. For example, don’t say marijuana must be safe because it is a plant. I’m not going to let that go. 10. The time to tell me that you will be late is when you first know it. Not after you are actually late. ................ I have been trying to implement more time away from phone and email (an extension of number 8). When you head into meetings, coffee or a meal, be respectful and work on your real social skills. You can spend the other 20 hours of your day worrying about Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Wow. I thought I had completely given up on superhero movies. Way too formulaic, generic and a severe lack of actual comedy. Deadpool might bring me back (even if its only temporarily). Some Matrix-esque slow-mo action scenes and witty banter might make for some worthwhile escapism.
Also, its about time Ryan Reynolds did something interesting again. I can't keep watching Just Friends.
