[...] I ever do a big publisher? Sure, if I get a sweet deal, a la GaryVee (supposedly got a $1M book deal to write 10 books). Why? Because he has an audience (aka, platform). He has almost 1M people following him on [...]

That video stopped just before five minutes, but really, I could not have endured ten more minutes of that voice, that vocabulary, that attitude. If he gets rich, good for him. Just, please, nobody should ever ask me to look at or listen to this obnoxious dweeb again. Joanna, your videos are delightful–I hope you achieve all that you desire, and happiness, too.

But Gary Vee–should be selling earplugs.

Ahoy Joanna,

I just hung out with Gary V, for about 2 hours, last night. WOW!!

He is definitely transparent, passionate, and a genuine guy. We signed and traded books. He looked me in the eye and listened. Answered my questions and told great stories.

Here is a photo of us exchanging books –

What I like about Gary V as well is that he’s quite clear there is no quick get rich scheme. There’s hard work. There is 17 hour days. If you want something, you need to go out and get it. You have to do something and there is no magic pill. It’s inspiring and a worthwhile model to follow.
