Wide Open with Tony Gonzalez

Gary Vaynerchuk needs no introduction, but here’s one anyway. This guy has become one of the world’s top entrepreneurs, leaders, and motivators, by simple saying what so many others won’t.

Gary came on Wide Open the podcast to talk about the value of crying a lot as a kid, waking up happy, and learning how not to sweat the little stuff, but instead, live with perspective.

Marc Lore is currently the CEO of E-Commerce at Walmart in the US, an incredibly important and influential role that helps dictate how people buy and consume products. But that’s only the tip of the iceberg of his legendary career as an entrepreneur, risk-taker, founder, leader and innovator. After a career in finance, Marc risked his entire net worth to found Quidsi, a company that brought us the likes of Diapers.com and Soap.com, and was later sold to Amazon for a cool half a billion dollars.

My good friend, Michael Strahan, came on the podcast to discuss life after the NFL — a subject that hits close to home in my own life. Michael’s been able to graciously jump into a handful of new and exciting roles, from being a co-anchor on ABC’s Good Morning America, to starting his own talent agency SMAC Entertainment, and launching his own apparel brand, MSX, in partnership with JC Penney.
