Our reading notes on Gary Vaynerchuk

• Alternative Sports’ Future Rise and What It Means to Everyone

  Vaynerchuk connects the growth of emerging sports to the experience of their earliest fans. The notes name two ways into a league, an individual athlete’s personality and attachment to a team. Those entry points call for different introductions even when they lead to the same match.

• Why You Need to Forget Your “Mistakes” and Focus on Your Next Thing

  The episode listing describes Vaynerchuk’s conversation with CRWD founder Ryan Chen about paying people to try products, visit a store and give feedback. For someone planning a sampling day, that raises two separate questions. Did someone take the free sample, and did the experience give them a reason to look for the product again?

• The Real Reason Why You're Not Winning on Social Media

  Vaynerchuk’s episode notes connect two jobs a livestream can do. During a shopping session a host can respond to a question as it arrives. Later, the answer can reach someone who missed the session. The edit needs to restore the product, the question and any qualification that viewers saw earlier in the stream.
