This is not Bill.
About a week ago, I heard a gushing sound coming from the unfinished side of our basement.
This can’t be good, were the words that rushed through my head.

Gary Vaynerchuck Shares the Secret to Social Media Success
Gary Vaynerchuck is a New York Times bestselling author, leads a profitable online media marketing agency, and is widely considered to be one of the leading voices in the social media field—and today he’s on #THINKDIGITAL.
Join me as I talk with Gary about the social media trends he absolutely hates, how he balances the work/life tension, the true nature of social media, PLUS he unveils the method ANY business or organization can use to build a thriving online community.
Check out this candiid talk with Gary where we talk about what it means to truly care for others, being dads, and why Gary calls his wife his “partner in crime.” (Oh, and be sure to pre-order Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook here: http://justinwise.net/jabjab)

Closing Thoughts
Gary is one of those guys I just like. I like who he is. I like what he stands for. I like how he does business. I like that the people I like like him. =)
For me, the most telling part in this whole interview wasn’t the business advice or the stories of success, it was hearing Gary say he’s falling deeper in love with his wife everyday. If you scan his Twitter feed for more than a day or two, it’s clear family is priority for him. In a world increasingly devoted to selfish endeavors, Gary’s “for others-ness” was a breath of fresh air.

They say you only get one chance to make a first impression. If that’s true, let me introduce you to SOME Company for the first time.
SOME Company—or SOME Co. for short—is a social media marketing agency I founded with Tim Schraeder and Justin Lathrop. We’re a little less than two months old and the train, as they say, is starting to pick up steam.
