		sqs on Jan 24, 2009 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Gary Vaynerchuk is ambitious Why do people do interviews where they come off like this? This must be the image he's trying to project. How could being quoted as saying "I absolutely believe I am going to own the Jets" EVER help anybody?

Well, he's a personal branding guru, and "Gary Vaynerchuk is ambitious" is practically a summary of HIS personal brand, so at least in this case it helps him.

I interview entrepreneurs often. I think many feel that way. And I admire the ones who come out and say it.
