Gary Vaynerchuk’s Most Honest Interview Yet: Fear, Family, and Freedom

What does it really take to become unshakable - mentally, emotionally, and in business?

For Gary Vaynerchuk, serial entrepreneur and CEO of VaynerX, it started with fear. Growing up an immigrant in a small New Jersey home, he battled the constant anxiety of losing his parents. That fear became fuel. Today, Gary is one of the most influential voices in entrepreneurship, and a leading advocate for emotional strength, self-awareness, and detachment from external validation.

Gary and I unpack how early trauma shaped his resilience, how he stays grounded while operating billion-dollar ventures, and why chasing admiration is the surest way to lose yourself.
