Gary Vaynerchuk is apparently a morning person ;)

gary:

I was pranked called at 5 am at SXSW
What I think is interesting here is that like I have said many times, we now live in a very transparent world and every interaction maybe recorded, The question is, if I handled this differently would it have impacted how some may look at me?

  10. ehsm answered: Oh dude, Vaynerchuk, you just went up 10x in my book. Says so much about you. Couldn’t have lost it. Didn’t. Shows your class.
  11. kennybutler answered: Your initial “hello” was pained but it just took that one word to get you into the conversation. “Crush Off!” is awesome…

  13. tbjorkgren answered: That’s awesome, how long into the call did you know that it was a prank? cause you sounded so alert and cheerful
  14. jgodbey answered: wow nicely handled gary. definitely a great example of doing the right thing “when no one is watching” — cuz you never know!
  15. onegoodrealtor answered: Actually, GarythemanVaynerchuk, what I find way more interesting is that you have 850 bazillion followers but you only get 150 comments? =)
  16. agrooved answered: Tom Crush is an amazing name indeed :) Brilliant prank, Brilliant Vaynerchuck!
  17. sophiejump answered: I think you handled it marvellously. At that time in the morning I’d of told him to do more than crush off himself!
  18. sashacosta answered: You were actually pretty cool headed for being called at 5 am, after im sure a late night at SXSW….
  19. miacarla answered: It was funny and to the point—showed just how capable you are on the fly.
