But what he was good at was crucial for his successes: he knew himself very well and acted on his strengths, intensely.

His grit was shaped by a tough Eastern European upbringing tempered by compassion. In this episode,  Vaynerchuck explains what obstacle resistance means from a humanistic perspective.
