Gary Vaynerchuck (AKA GaryVee) is a serial entrepreneur, serving as the Chairman of VaynerX and CEO of VaynerMedia. And he has built his career by recognizing what's up-and-coming in culture.
Self-dubbed a "purebred entrepreneur," Gary successfully started a lemonade franchise at age 7. And when he saw the internet was a land-grab opportunity in the late '90s, he pivoted his father's local liquor store into one of the world's premier e-commerce platforms.
Today, Gary helps brands leverage consumer attention through his full-service advertising agency, VaynerMedia. As well as acts as a prolific angel investor with companies like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Venmo, Snapchat, Coinbase, and Uber on his portfolio.
Shaquille O'Neal is considered one of the best basketball players in NBA history. Weighing around 325 pounds, the 7 footer's larger-than-life personality and powerful athleticism built him one of the most passionate fan bases in sports and entertainment.
But Shaq is more than just one of the most celebrated athletes of all time. He has also owned 150 car washes, 40 fitness centers, 17 Auntie Anne's Pretzels, several Las Vegas nightclubs, and - at one point - over 10% of the Five Guys franchise portfolio.
He is also an investor focusing on partnerships with businesses and organizations he aligns himself with such as Alkaline 88. If there's anyone that knows about building scalable businesses, it's Shaq.
