I had not seen this episode, It is quite something looking back on it. Great Dream Gary Vee, keep the good times rolling…

ahahahahah! Episode 1 is a classic Gary, deserves better than an old school Quicktime player. You should bring those old episodes into Viddler, they definitely are on the “must see” list, people need to know how this all started! Great inspiring journey so far, thanks for showing us the way to innovation through true passion!

Hi Gary,

Fasinating to see how it all started.

A real inspiration – 3 years on it is amazing to look back and I know you said on GaryVaynerchuk.com that it took 18 months of “hustle” before anyone took any notice.

As ever always fun to look back at the first episode.

Cheers

Awesome. I like to watch your old vids when there is not a new show and I realized today that I hadn’t seen the first one. I could tell you weren’t as comfortable as you are now. The beginning rumblings of the thunder. Great job!

Hey Gary, you’ve come a long way and I’ve learned a lot about web 2.0 by watching you. Incredible to think that your children’s children will one day watch these gems. I’m going to try to watch all of your back episodes and figure out when you first say sniffy sniff and when you start using the Jets bucket. You are an unlikely role model but I’ve been drawn in like a moth to a flame!

Cheers, Billy Gadol

Needed to see where the journey started. Not wine drink…but the excitement in contagious…and I love the police sirens.

I too had to see how it all started. So amazing that all the episodes are online. Love watching Gary do his thing, whether on the interwebs or at conferences. Always an inspiration.

had to see the first one… wow you have brought it really far…

Like the old style format, even if it is a real drastic difference from the origional one.

QOTD: Where did all that hair go?

Gary,
Been watching since late Dec 2007, but figured it was time to head back to the beginning. It is amazing to know where WLTV is know and see where it was back when it started. I love that you go into more detail now about the wines as it helps drive what wines I may want to seek out. A great idea and as evident by close to 700 episodes now, this show is a sure thing.

I feel like I’ve been watching WLTV forever but today was the first time I got around to watching your first episode. And what a beaut! A little quieter than the manic garyvee we have today, but the passion shines through so strong. More power to ya!

AS a gift to myself on the 4th of July, I thought I’d watch Episode 1 again. Great to see how it all started. Even back then the episodes were engaging and interesting. Cheers!

Yo G, FUUUUUUUUUN watching this First Episode again, where it all began!!

Gary, it’s amazing to watch the first episode (you’re now on 704) and hear your vision for WLTV and then reflect on your execution. You accomplished *everything* you set out to do and a lot more (e.g. the books).

It is that kind of razor sharp focus and commitment to execution that makes dreams come true. You’re a role model for so many people.

Sincerely,

-Armond

The first step to reaching your goals is to articulate them. Thanks for the reminder and lesson.

Gary, thank you for your hard work and dedication over the years, it has helped many of us to overcome the obstacles of getting into the wine world and allowed us to truly enjoy everything that wine, and even life, has to offer.

Nice 1st episode Gary.
Would love to catch you doing a vin jaune episode one day

Gary,

Been lurking for a while now, finally wanted to post. I’m going back through your videos, I’m going to try to learn about wine. As you can see from my name, I run a cigar blog. Do you smoke cigars ever? I’d be interested in doing some reviews about pairing wine with cigars. Anyways, love the show, and am amazed by the success you have found through leveraging resources such as Twitter and Facebook. I am going to buy your book as soon as it hits stores.

I’ve always wanted to see your first episode (and having seen it I think I’ll watch a few more) – what an interesting perspective October 2009 gives it. So glad you’ve come as far as you did.

Hey Gary

First episode – I love it! So serious!

Oh man, this is a far cry from the WLTV I first tuned in to and what it evolved into at present.

Great first effort, but I definitely like Gary Vee in 2009 better than 2006. I’m catching up on all the episodes bit by bit in order from this one and am going to comment on each as I go (after two years or so it’s time I stop lurking). Am definitely looking forward to seeing the first episode to bring the thunder.

So this is when it all began. Awesome!

Dear Gary, You are so amazing in what you do and I want you to prosper – and I hope you’ll take some advice about French pronunciation, even if the others in the business couldn’t be bothered with the true pronunciation. La Joie was perfect. “Le” in french is the masculine article and is not pronounced “lay,” as it would be if it were Spanish. “Le” is pronounced with the French “euh” sound, making the word sound like “luh”, or, simply, like the word “look” without the ‘k.’ Hope this helps.

I had to see what episode #1 was all about. See how it compares to the new episodes. Interesting…this is pre “Vay-ner-chuk” still a funny guy though, even back in the beginning!

Wow, for the first episode, way back in Feb of 06’…it’s amazing to witness your insight. “We think we’re on to something” ….uh, no kidding. You rock, you’re the best. Thanks for everything you do. Very inspiring.
