Gary Vaynerchuk

and you're telling me your mom hurt your feelings, I get it, that's real , but you're not capable of being accountable and saying, you know what, this , I'm gonna be the one that fixes it. I met a man, by the way, I'm recalling now, had drinks the other day, gentleman who said I was the one that broke the pattern of alcoholism in my family.

My great grandfather, my grandfather, my father, and I said no, and everything was there for me to do it. I was on the streets at 13, I started to go down it and I was like, no. So why him? He's not special. I'm not special. You're not special. We have talents.

One is very real right now, which is I am atrocious at smelling the roses. because the whole game for me is smelling the roses. However, I'm sensing like, but would I have enjoyed the memories of the more extreme version of smelling the roses? Let me explain what I mean. So when I have wins, I don't celebrate them. Like there's no, like in my world, we just landed a $20 million client.

As I continue to go through my own journey, it'll be very clear that I was blessed with many things as a child, but I was also burdened with some. Like I was the oldest from the old country. I mean, when I tell you since the time I was five years old, I remember being ingrained in my head. Like responsibility, responsibility. Take care of your sister. Like my mom, and I admire that from my mom.

And now that was, I want to be very careful here. It's not like my father came to me and said, absolutely not. I did that to myself, but it was hardwired early. And my environment's like my responsibility. I think a lot of first generation oldest immigrants that were born in the old country and their siblings were born here. Actually, that's really cool.

Anybody who's watching, email me at Gary at VaynerX. If you're this exact person, you're an immigrant yourself. you immigrated to America, or any first world country, London, anywhere else, and you're the only sibling that was born in the old country, but you have siblings that were born in the new world. I think there's something there. There's something there. I felt half parent my whole life.

AJ, who you know well, Minimally, I feel 50% dad, 50%. Of course, he's 11 years younger than me. So you're 18 and he's seven and forget about the 11 years, like I just told you earlier, I felt that way towards my sister who's only three and a half years younger. There was just something like you're the, and again, I think back, this is where I'll say something very important right now, I believe.

I think we judge our parents too much. I don't sit here and say, mom, I think people really dwell too much. I understand, my mom lost her mom at five and then her dad went to jail for 10 years in the Soviet Union because every entrepreneur did. And so her and her brother were the world. So she made, I mean, was like propaganda into my head of like my relationship with my sister.
