Now how does a hack like me get two of the wine world’s largest personalities, namely Jancis Robinson and Gary Vaynerchuk, on Wine On The Rocks? Ask and Ye shall receive my friends, ask and Ye shall receive! Timing is everything in life and the will to travel helps as well. As Mr. Vaynerchuk states – CRUSH IT!, live your passion and work like a dog!

The interviews will be taking place on:
Gary Vaynerchuk – Tuesday, DEC 08
Jancis Robinson – Thursday, DEC 10

Give me a good week or so to edit and they should be online by the 20th… my pre-Xmas gift to you all :-)

I’m stoked as stoked can be and there are many reasons for it – two being the people mentioned above and the opportunity to interview them personally. But first and foremost, the other reasons are; spending a week with my sister in London and meeting up with many of the new friends I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting at the EWBC in Lisbon just a few weeks back. The ultimate reason why I wanted to get out in the first place.

Kudos go out to:

Rob McIntosh – Thank you for posting the CRUSH IT! book launch event on Twitter
Ryan Opaz – Thank you for introducing me to Jancis by mail
Gabriella Opaz – For your great ideas
Eddie Correia – For assisting me on camera during my GaryVee interview
Dan Coward – For jersey scouting in your free time

Now what the heck am I getting at here? Please take note if you haven’t noted already – you don’t get anywhere going at it alone! Networking and recognising opportunity is the be all – end all, regardless of what sector you’re in. If you’re willing to go that extra mile, things will happen – and never be afraid to fail! Actually, it’s the main part of the learning process so yes, do fail – but only once in a while and when you do, learn from it ;-)

Thank you all for the motivation in regards to WOTR. Producing it hasn’t been easy in the past and it won’t get any easier in the future – but for some reason, I know it’s all worth it… 2010 is going to be a great year!

Keep in keepin’ ON!
