Empathy Wines : a DTC brand that features affordable wines of top quality.

VaynerSports: a full service athlete representation agency that commits to guiding players though issues on the field and off.

Related Companies : is a partner to VaynerX. Miami Dolphins and real estate tycoon Stephen Ross maintains a personal interest in Vayner properties.

Minnesota RØKKR : co-owner of the eSports team alongside the Minnesota Vikings owners, the Wilf family.

Wine Library : where it all started. Vaynerchuk’s first big moment came when he was handed the keys to his father’s liquor store. He took it from offline to online in an effort that grew the company from $3 million to $65 million in annual sales.

And though that may be more than enough for one professional, that’s not all. Gary’s work and personal brand have placed him at an interesting spot. He’s one of the most influential business people in hip hop. He’s trusted by many up and coming rappers thanks to his longtime partnership with manager and promoter Mike Boyd. The New York Times recently featured this side of Vaynerchuk.

This is only the beginning, according to Vaynerchuk, who hosted a Budweiser-sponsored Super Bowl party this year featuring entertainment from Grizzley, Keed and YG. (Lil Keed, Vaynerchuk said, almost made an appearance in a Mr. Peanut Super Bowl commercial that featured Alex Rodriguez, but it wasn’t to be.) [ 1 ]

What struck me most about this conversation with Vaynerchuk is just how badly his mind is needed in consumer goods and direct to consumer retail. He’s a legitimate veteran in eCommerce. He understands the principles of linear commerce [ 2 ]. His patience is long and his understanding of business leverage is unparalleled. I’m convinced that at some point, 2PM Inc. and VaynerX will partner to help facilitate the growth of direct brands. I’m not sure that even Vaynerchuk realizes that he’s built a corporate promotional machine that could survive without his personal branding efforts.

Vaynerchuk is a polymathic thinker by definition. Unconventional, curious, and skilled, he’s built an empire that’s valued well into the hundreds of millions. But rather than start with his beginning, we start with his end game: buying the NFL’s New York Jets. It’s a goal that he’s publicly championed for over a decade. For the longest time, onlookers scoffed at the idea. It’s clear that he has a path to achieving that end game. No. 3 of Polymathic Audio is 54 minutes that will impact the way that you think. And it may influence what you do next.
