QOTD: Gary, strange way to word the question. If I understand the question, I would say the Oprah/KFC free giveaway (that is until KFC has to give america a rain check).
Oprah, you crushed it!

My ‘crushed it’ moment – getting a job in santa barbara without hardly interviewing for the position because i got such good recommendations from working so hard in the last 4 years in my internship

Dude, you so deserve everything you’re experiencing right now. Your hustle just keeps paying off over and over again. Way to CRUSH IT!

QOTD: When my children were born.

Glad to see you back, giving Mott face time, and tasting Bandol’s.

New car smell- I mean I guess if you roll on Daddy’s coin you know what new leather smells like ina new car- New car smell for me is Pine Tree air freshner in a 10 year old car with cigarrete burns in the seats-

You pompous ass!

2 for me. And a new wristband. I need it (see below):

QOTD: Party crew of 20 on my 38 foot sailboat (crowded), anchored out all night, we partied like mad. I told everyony to make themselves at home, inc. food and drink – open anything they wanted on the boat – beer, liquor, wine. Didn’t realize ppl would find my stash of better wine (cellared in a lazarette) til we were all drinking out of bottles on the below-decks impromptu dance floor and someone passed me a bottle of what I thought was Barefoot but was in fact an Arista Pinot. That and all the hard-earned fruits of my last trip to Napa Valley were all open. No choice but to roll with it, so I threw on a Vayner-Nation wrist band, and had an even better night. The wrist band went over very well. And went overboard very well, as well, when the party went above decks. The crew and I definitely CRUSHED IT that night.

Hey Gary – Congrats on the BOOK….Need to get me one!!!

Love the Priorats – had the pleasure of working in the region in vintage 05!!

QOTD…..What crushed it for me was discovering Gary Vaynerchuk….From Humble beginnings……hustling your way to the top & beyond!! This has taught me that anyone can follow their passion as long as you have focus and hunger. For me this is happening. I have been procrastinating about producing a wine label for 5 years now and nothing has been done…until now!!! All my energies are going into my wine label and now I have a label/wine/passion and chops to go out and sell a product that people will enjoy…THIS IS ONLY THE START…Thanks Gary for your passion and belief that anyone can do anything

QOTD: The last situation that “crushed it” was me realizing that I am married to an AWESOME gal.

Nice show, pre-ordered the book on Amazon (hope they ship it to Canada), and keep on crushing it!

QOTD: I found a wine about a month back (2007 Gray Monk Ehrenfelser) that I was trying to find for almost a year, and I found one in restaurant in Tofino,BC,Canada and it totally “crushed it” (such a cool phrase, it going in my phrase book now).

QOTD: For better or worse, this was before I knew you existed.

I decided that, whether or not my university could support me in this endeavor, that I would go into the video games industry. Having no one around to mentor me, I emptied my bank account into a plane ticket to San Francisco and a one-day Student Pass to the annual Game Developer’s Conference in the Moscone Center. I called up the parents of a recently-acquainted friend who’s mother then drove me where I needed to go. I brought 500 business cards and 12 resumes. I crushed it more than I had before or since, and got asked to interviews and jobs since.

On that same note, I owe my career to that good friend and his family. FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE BETTER THAN MONEY! Or stuff… or career… you name it.

Good to have you back. I’ve been looking for Bandol wine for a long time (something like 300 WLTV episodes ago) but it’s difficult to find it premium locally.

Great thing about the book, will order one, for sure.

QOTD: When I ‘flew solo’ for the first time!
