Gary Vaynerchuk To Host Richard On The #AskGaryVee Show

The idea of, “a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement,” is the American Dream, as creator of the phrase put it, author James Truslow Adams. Today, that initial sentiment continues to ring true as every individual works within it toward achieving their American Dream. Two individuals who, by every measure, have achieved theirs, Gary Vaynerchuk and Richard Rawlings, will come together this Friday, September 29th on The #AskGaryVee Show.

Gary immigrated to the United States at a young age from Belarus in the former USSR. Once stateside he, and his extended family, settled into a studio apartment in Queens, NY while his father would commute to work at a friend’s liquor store in New Jersey. His father would eventually tap Gary to join the now family business, but simply working retail wasn’t enough to quench his entrepreneurial spirit. Gary was able to convince his father to let him rename the business and launch it online, as a result it grew from, “$3MM to $60MM in sales in just five years.” Gary was now off to the races.

It was in 2006 that Gary would pivot from the wine business to grow upon the successes he had marketing and with video content creation. This would lead to the creation of VaynerMedia, numerous angel investments in companies like Uber and Twitter, as well as creation of The #AskGaryVee Show and the list of accomplishments and accolades goes on and on.

Richard was born in Fort Worth, TX and developed a passion for cars at a young age. While that passion would need to take a backseat as he pursued being a police officer, firefighter and paramedic followed by his own printing/advertising company, Lincoln Press. However, with that passion for cars lingering Richard would open Gas Monkey Garage and sell off Lincoln Press. Gas Monkey Garage would go on to spawn the Discovery show Fast N’ Loud, an energy drink, bars/restaurants, a line of liquor and more.

Despite two very different upbringings and life paths Gary and Richard share that entrepruenieral spirit necessary to succeed and achieve the American Dream. A topic the two will undoubtedly discuss this Friday on The #AskGaryVee Show.
