You gotta be true

December 5th, 2007 · 1 Comment

My friend Gary Vaynerchuk, of WineLibraryTV, who is even more exhausting than Chris Brogan, was interviewed by Daisy Whitney on her site.

Several of the points he made ring very true to me when it comes to producing a show in this new media space

You can’t sell out, you gotta be true.

People can sniff out fake pretty fast. [ again its Eric with that transparency thing ] Gary’s passion is truly honest.

And on moving to regular television,

The freedom I have in this environment is very difficult to give up

That freedom is amazing, and self-regulating, if people don’t like what you’re producing, they stop watching. But at the same time, it allows you to try new things, and if people don’t like them, you hear about it quickly, and you can change.

    Gary is such a tireless energy source. Truly. When I finally met him in person, I felt like I was standing next to a live wire. He is truly a rockstar.
