Why Gary Vaynerchuk Hires Jack of All Trades Employees

The full phrase is actually “a jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one.”
Gary was interviewed on  How I Built This in August 21. Knowing that it's okay to have and pursue more than one passion feels rewarding. When passions overlap (ie: podcasting and writing) magic can happen!

Developing multiple areas of skill can give you an edge in a competitive job market, when working on creative projects, and when marketing yourself as an entrepreneur.

Learning how to film interviews on video (and edit those videos) made podcasting much easier for me. There was already a foundational knowledge of trimming content and presenting things in an interesting way.

Learning how to tie a windsor knot

It took about two hours trying to figure this out and finally after watching the original video I found (on VideoJug) several times, it made sense and I was able to tie the tie the correct length to my waist with a good knot.

The steps I was doing incorrectly were going under/over the loop on one of the steps and not making the "bridge". After watching several video tutorials, the VideoJug video was the one that was the most in-depth and went at a good pace for replays.

Order of crossing the loop:
under
over
under
