GaryVee’s NFT Restaurant is a Dystopian Fever Dream
What could be better than an exclusive club full of wealthy crypto-bros?
Gary Vaynerchuk, the loud-mouthed bad boy of motivation, is a crypto-bro now, and he’s a huge fan of NFTs.
Gary started out selling his father’s wine online, made a few good investments, and spends most of his time appearing on different podcasts, making videos for his online audience, and getting paid upwards of $200,000 for in-person speaking events. He’s known for his off-the-rails approach to motivating people in business and life.
Gary “I’m grinding when you’re sleeping” Vaynerchuk’s form of motivational speaking essentially boils down to interrupting the person who asked him a question, going on a tirade that says nothing new but says it in a unique, wild way, and then dunking on his haters with all the money he has.
Take the time, for example, when a clearly nervous woman attending one of his events (which cost around $500 and up) began to ask a question relating to her business, only to have Gary interrupt her and ramble on about how every day she should “literally, once a day, genuinely sit there for five minutes and make pretend one of them got shot in the face.”
