Gary V. is Bringing Wine Library TV to Midtown (Oh, And There’s Free Food & Wine Involved)
If you are a disciple of wine peddler turned internet media superstar motivator (and all around entertaining guy) Gary Vaynerchuk, you will be incredibly excited to hear this news: Wine Library TV will be broadcasting live from the Roger Smith Hotel Lab Gallery (on Lexington and 47th) all next week at 5pm (August 24-28th.) I’m guessing this is all to promote Gary’s new book “Crush It: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion”, which comes out October 13th.
For those of you who’ve never watched an episode of Wine Library TV online, or aren’t already a convert to Gary’s unique outlook on life, you might be saying “Why should I care about this nonsense?” Well, as a guy who got to quit his job a year ago to get paid to be a fat fuck- let’s just say his new book, and general attitude of motivating people to follow their passion and get paid for it, “speaks to me”. Plus the whole thing benefits Mashable’s “Summer of Social Good”, and he’s willing to give one of you the chance to hang with him, drink some free wine (and score some free food!)
One lucky Midtown Lunch’er will get to hang inside the Roger Smith Hotel Lab Gallery during one of the broadcasts with Gary, which includes free wine (natch.) And then, get treated to free dinner for two after the show at Lily’s, the restaurant inside the Roger Smith Hotel. (Not with Gary though, unless he wants to… who knows? You might make an impression.) All you have to do to enter the contest is tell us in the comments the one thing you’d most want to quit your job to do. (I know you’ve all got something… we work in Midtown for god’s sake.) One winner will be selected randomly, and will get to hang in the Roger Smith Lab one day next week with Gary for a live taping of Wine Library TV, and score a free dinner for two at Lily’s (check out the menu here.)
Basically if you’ve ever wanted to quit your job to do something you love, Gary’s the guy who can motivate you to do it. Don’t want to be on Wine Library TV? Enter anyway. You can still win the free dinner- and I’m sure you’d be able to sell the spot with Gary on Craigslist or Ebay for a ton of cash to one of his super fans (he has legions of them.)

i did quit my job…to go back to school for an MBA! However, I would have preferred to quit my job and go into the beer and wine biz…and some good food thrown in for balance!

Travel the world and visit as many bakeries as possible…write a book about global desserts.

I would love to quit my job and visit every continent at least twice!!

I would quit my job in order to do whatever I feel like on whatever day. I might feel like flying to jamaica, or canada or just sit around and bake cookies all day. I’d eat, drink wine, travel, swim, meet interesting people…basically just live large. I’d probably die of a heart attack because of all the excess, but who cares? It would be worth it.
HUGE Vayniac here! I want to go to the broadcast! -
I would quit my job and travel all over the world. First Asia, then Africa, South America, Europe and then id do it all over again.
God that would be incredibly

I would love to race cars! Besides being cool, you only have to work 1 day a week, plenty of time for lunch during the rest of the week!!

I would love to be an animal trainer or a vet.

The one thing I’d most want to quit my job to do?
Be able to make a decent living at helping others quit their job and find their true passion. Life’s too short to be doing something you don’t love.
I’d like to quit and do food writing full-time (rather than on the side) and focus solely on completing my memoir, which is oh so close but yet so far away. And of course travel more. First up would be the wineries in Tuscany. Anywhere not involving my cube…
