This question and answer came from Episode 3 of the #AskGaryVee show!
Question: What are the most important lessons your dad taught you about building a business?
Answer: Your word is your bond. If you make a promise to somebody you stick to it. I don't think I would ever be as honorable of a person if my dad didn't teach me the importance of sticking to your word. At the end of the day, I'm a long term businessman with a long term business plan. Because of the lessons my dad instilled in me, I've been able to both build and maintain my relationships, and I know wholeheartedly that a lot of that is attributed to the weight I put towards keeping my word and my promises.
Thanks, Dad 🙂

Awesome, insightful content!
Sounds like Sasha and my Dad had that in common. My Dad always said, 'Everything you'll ever have in life can be taken away from you but your honor… only you can take that away.if you don't live up to your commitments, people will see you with no honor, and you'll be left with nothing.'
This is something I tell my students all the time: Commitment isn't commitment until it gets hard. Before that, it's just called "easy."
Gary, I think you're treating YouTube as you would treat Twitter when you throw these consecutive140 character-long videos in very short periods of time.
