8. Robert (still alive thankfully) and Nancy (passed away). Robert worked for Burlinton Northern til retirement and Nancy moved between a ton of jobs while raising my mom and 3 aunts. Fun fact. In the 40s, Peter Pan peanut butter had a campaign in all the major cities to be the Peter Pan kid for that area. My grandma won in Seattle and we have a beautiful portrait of her as kid thanks to that. Other fun fact. I've got a picture of my mom and Gary from an event in Tampa around 2009-ish I'm totally going to get Gary to sign it when I meet him, true story.
9. Thanks Gary on this show:) love it

11. Sup Gary. This is a bit old I realise. I tried the direct facebook approach on my Long post instead of linking it to an outsourcing website (my blog) and got a lot less of a reach on the post. All good though. Trial and error. Enjoying every bit of your content. So Thankyou
12. I want a "Squeeze the motherf**king Orange" t-shirt. And the drops of orange juice say, "Hustle" on them. Wait.... Crush it? Orange? Orange Crush? You need to have that Orange Crush drank on the desk. I want royalties on that Orange Hustle shirt.
13. Been going back over episodes I haven't seen. This is one of my favorites for sure. Such great info and content.
14. #QOTD Emmanuel, Katie, Carmen & Paul, nice question.

16. Great episode it slipped through my fairy net, grandparents Nell & Alex lived with them growing up after my mum passed think that's why I have a sensible head on my shoulders - most of the time!
17. Such an awesome show +Gary Vaynerchuk . I'm catching up on the last few weeks right now. Love how in depth you're going with your answers, and this week the questions were really on point.
