Gary ‘Vee’ Vaynerchuck

What keeps you up at night?
Anxiety or thinking about work-related things, financial stress, the normal stuff. 

Do you exercise? If so, how?
I love going to a good workout group class, swim in the ocean and try to be active every day. Sometimes it’s hard to do when it gets hot so it takes extra discipline. Swimming and yoga are good options for me.

What communities inspire you?
House of Beautiful Business

Are you more Hustle or more Zen, lately?
I’d say more Zen

What would you do if you did not do your existing work/business?
Spend more time on and in the ocean. 

How do you define a good work / life balance, and how important do you think it is?
I believe we need to create LifeWorkPlay By Design - starting with life first, doing meaningful work and making time to play. Balance is key but that will be different for each one. 

Are you married, in partnership, have kids? How have relationships impacted your balance?

I’m married for over 20 years. I did put work before my marriage for a while and it made me realize that I didn’t want to live that way. So, I had to realign my ambition and my priorities.

What’s some advice you would give to new or struggling entrepreneurs/hustlers that seem out of balance?
Balance and harmony are key to thriving not only as human being but also as entrepreneur and founder. Without balance, we end up stressed, burnout and resentful of the business we’re building. So if you love what you do, find balance so you can do it for longer. 

What advice would you tell your younger self?
Learn to unhustle

What is one issue you are out to change in the world (personally or professionally)?
Inspire millions to learn how to UnHustle by praising space instead of busyness for more harmony, wellbeing and higher consciousness.  

What is your favorite quote, mantra, motto?
“The purpose of our lives is to be happy.” - Dalai Lama

Your last 2¢?
"Life is really simple, but men insist on making it complicated." — Confucius
