- We actually have a very special invitation to Vayner Media
to meet with one of my digital mentors Gary Vaynerchuk.
- Honestly, I don't think, listen
you do whatever the (bleep) you wanna do.
It's not Gary V it's not (mumbles).
Here's what I'll say--
- He actually also offered if I ever wanted
to come to New York and work for him.

- Hey there! Welcome to New York City.
("Deck the Halls")
- We are here for my brother Jimmy's first trip.
How excited are you?
- Very excited
- Awesome, I've never been to the big city.
So I'm very thrilled for this opportunity.
- Well, it's quite the opportunity.
I think it's gonna be fun.
Today we're just gonna go walk essentially.
- Spend some money
- Vin loves to walk, we're gonna walk everywhere.
We're just gonna go check some things out.
Jimmy wants to spend money.
That's what he said.
(cash register dings)
Okay, so not only are we just visiting New York City
for his first trip, but we actually have a very
special invitation to Vayner Media to meet with
one of my digital mentors, Gary Vaynerchuk
who said that he personally wanted
to see Jimmy in his office so that's tomorrow.
Vin are you running more camera back there?
- Sup?
- So
so meta.

- It's raining in New York City
we got a late start this morning.
We were out way too late, ran into a super old friend.
Ran into, she surprised me, super old friend.
It's been, like, kind of crappy all day
so we haven't really done much Vlogging.
I got my hair done, you can't tell, you can't.
Anyway, we finally made it to Vayner.
We're like in the Hudson Yards building
and it's Jimmy's big moment.
We just mic'd him up so you can hear everything.
- I'm mic'd up ready to go.
- You ready? - Yup.
- [Amy] It's gonna be good.
(hopeful music)
- [Jimmy] Pleasure meeting you man.
- [Woman] So good to see you, how you doin?
(laughter)
(bleep)
- What's up?
- Life is good. I'm so sorry guys.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
- There's, I don't even like, fuck you know?
- There's nothing to say
- How you guys doing?
- Uh, it's been the worse month of my life
to say the least, but I mean, how could it not be?
- Of course
- You know, I've spent every freaking minute
with that guy until life decided to take him from me
so it's really hard to go from here I'll tell ya.
- Hey, I get it
- And that's why, when Amy brought this up to me
I was like, wow, that sounds absolutely awesome
not to mention I can get the heck out of Ohio
for a couple days.
- Sure.
You know, it's crazy as all
I know as all three of you know
boy do I sit here a whole lot and spend my life doling
out a whole lot of advice only because I only talk
about things I know.
I stay really quiet in these scenarios, like,
I got nothing to say because I'm completely aware
that the only reason I'm such a cheerful guy
the only reason that I'm so happy that, you know,
I've just been laughing the last 20--
I've been traveling all week so I've been able to
consume a lot of comments, which is what I tend
to be able to do when I travel.
It's just unbelievable how many people think
I'm on heavy drugs.
(laughter)
It makes me laugh--
It makes me laugh because--
- [Man] They've never met you.
- 'Cause I've never smoked a cigarette
and I look at it and I'm like man, boy,
the manifestation of happiness and gratitude
is really intense,
but I absolutely do know. I know, I know
that this is the only thing I think about.
It's the only thing I care about
and so like, for me, it's so easy to give people advice
like don't worry, fuck it, like that
and I'm so right.
This is the only place where I don't believe that.
- Yeah, I know.
- And honestly, I don't think, listen
you do whatever the fuck you want to do.
It's not Gary V, it's not (mumbles).
Here's what I'll say,
first of all,
I don't want to make this a 15 minute
check the box thing.
I, unbelievably, am passionate about your family.
You can DM me, call me, - Oh, I definitely know that
or text, or email me anytime.
But, my biggest thing,
like, the thing that's deep in me right now.
I don't want your life to be about
the legacy of your brother.
You know what you should do?
If you're asking my advice and I don't know
what I'm talking about, but let me give you what I believe.
I'm living my best life, that's how
I'm parenting my children.
I didn't see my kids all week.
I get judged for that plenty, - Oh yeah.
- But you know why?
Because if I show my children
what living a fulfilled life is it's far more likely
they'll live a fulfilled life.
Not because I came home at 5:30 and told them
or made them read a book about fulfilled lives.
You wanna fucking honor your bro?
Go live your best fucking life, period.
- [Jimmy] I got no choice, like you said.
- You have no choice
- [Jimmy] Yeah, I got to, I got to.
- You know?
Everything makes sense to me.
Rules changed, and honestly,
sometimes shit's just meant to be.
You wanna really honor that fucking dude?
Go fucking, like, live.
Be happy and not by making every third
social media post be about him.
- [Jimmy] Yeah.
- Live your life.
That's how he'll be the happiest.
- [Jimmy] Definitely
- You're not his PR agent bro.
[Jimmy] Yeah, I gotta show him what I can do.
- And that is a bad
thing to keep repeating
as a way to cope.
Like to get love through that.
Get your happiness just living your life
not through the compassion of others through
your situation.
- Yeah.
- [Gary] There's a very big difference between
happiness and love and pity.
- Huge, yeah.
- And it's a very fine line.
I talk a lot about my content like optimism
and delusion they are this fucking narrow.
You know?
Pity and getting love is that narrow.
- [Jimmy] Yeah, that's true.
- I know it is--
- [Jimmy] I already see it so--
- You understand? - I do, yeah.
- Go live your life.
- [Jimmy] Yeah, going to, certainly.
Her guidance is good, too.
(laughs)
- Oh, I know (mumbles).
- [Jimmy] That's what I figured.
- [Amy] Can we take a quick picture
and then we won't keep you.
- How about this whole Vayner speakers thing?
- Oh when I heard about that,
when she told me, I was like oh my gosh!
(laughs)
Fantastic.
Hey, what's up?
Oh I know, I mean, we were in his office
for a little while cause, like, of course,
Amy knows friends there and caught up with em' and stuff.
But no, the time I had with him was fantastic.
He said a lot of really good things to me.
He actually also offered if I ever wanted to come
to New York and work for him that's something
I could do, too.
He offered me that.
We'll have to do some thinking, of course,
but yeah you know.
I was pretty, he kind of blind sided me on that one,
but that was good.
But no yeah, it was fantastic.
Then he recorded some of it, I got pictures with him
and really good guy, yeah.
(hip hop music)
- [Amy] Matching Gucci.
Matching Gucci.
- Yeah, matching Gucci, you know.
- That's all for us in New York.
Headed back home.
Had to finish, had to wrap up this morning
by doing some quick shopping.
How was the trip Jimmy did you like it?
- It was fantastic.
The city is amazing, I'll definitely be back
and the opportunity is endless here
and I went with some incredible people.
- Seriously, Gary offered you a job.
Opportunity is endless.
- Opportunity is endless and unexpected.
- What did you think about what he had to say to you?
What do you think?
- I, uh, was very shocked.
I went into as he'd be, you know,
just one of those real straight forward guys
that, you know, just tells you how it is
and it could be in a mean manner,
but you know he was a very genuine individual
and I couldn't believe how, you know,
how sympathetic he was and how friendly
he was to us and he gave really good advice.
You don't usually expect to, at the end,
be offered a job if I wanted, so
that's pretty crazy
- [Amy] That was icing.
- Yeah, coming from a guy who used to work
at hardware stores it could be a little bit
of an upgrade, you know?
- [Amy] Vinny, how was your New York trip?
- Fantastic as always, love the big city.
- [Jimmy] They took me to the big city
- [Amy] He loves it here.
- [Jimmy] And he got a pen.
- [Amy] And he got a pen.
- [Woman] Check that Instagram
@thevincenzolandino.
That's all for today.
Thank you so much for tuning in.
I appreciate it, as always.
Make sure you subscribe for good vibes.
Kiss the ones you love
and go after the life you want.
Cheers. - Cheers.
- [Amy] Cheers.
- [Amy] It's Gucci.
- Gucci!
