[audiobook] More than 5 stars. I'm not an entrepreneur and have no real entrepreneurial spirit, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Number one for me - his heart seems to be in the right place and he is not afraid to admit it.

If you have ANY interest in business, entrepreneurship, or just bettering yourself in your career, you NEED to listen to #AskGaryVee! This audiobook follows a Q&A format and you honestly feel like you're just chatting to a friend the entire time. Gary Vaynerchuk is so personable and tells things as they are, so I felt like I was constantly learning throughout the book and not wasting any time.

The only reason this book received 4* from me instead of 5 is because, at times, the questions were very targeted toward one type of business, or toward entrepreneurs only. I personally felt like I benefitted from listening to all of the questions, but it would have been useful to have a 'Skip Question' button. It's also a few years old, so slightly out of date in terms of the social media aspect & how to succeed on those platforms. So - Gary, can we get an update!? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the current situations.

BRB, watching all of Gary Vee's videos on Youtube!

Very digestible. Great as an audiobook. The author provides plenty of business inspiration, value, and practicality.

What this book does best is take real-life scenarios & questions, and answer them in a unique manner that doesn't let you forget the author is human - a human that sees right through your bullshit, but a human nonetheless. The best takeaway is the little tidbits of advice, quotes, and just heartwarming stories that help you see your own shortcomings and work to fixing them. While this also exists in a video format in the #AskGaryVee vlog show, the book version might work better for some people.

This one is by far the most quotable:
"if you have pages & pages of content but no product, you've got nothing"
"anyone's life shrinks and expands on the proportion of your willingness to take risks and try new things - Anais Nin"
"practicality matters more than passion"
"depth matters more than width"
"money and fame doesn't change people, it just exposes them"
"it takes humility to accept you're not as unique or indispensable as you think, but it's also freeing"
"you always pay a price for doing what you love. that's life"
"stop doing that that make you unhappy"

I listened to this book instead of reading. I have not watched GaryVee shows, but I did read his Thankyou economy and I was super pumped. Gary continues in the same vein in this book reading. His approach to life as well as his thoughts are great for any entrepreneur that wants to take punch in the face.

This book is the combination of the last 3 Gary's books - inspirational like Crush it!, Philosophical like The Thank You Economy, and Tactical like Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook.

Everything Gary believes in and practices in his life, he has laid it out in this book. From self awareness to social media and wine to business, everything is covered here. It's like having Gary around all the time.

I gave it 4-stars because the book starts to get a bit repetitive after a while, but other than that, it's great. I highly recommend this book.
