Dustin sits down with Gary Vaynerchuk, aka GaryVee, to get his assistance with the engagement. Gary is an entrepreneur, New York Times best selling author, internet personality, and the list goes on and on. Like all wise men, Gary helps more with his words than his actions. Dustin and Gary talk about advice for young couples and the current state of dating. Will Gary’s expertise in business relationships help Dustin with his romantic relationship?
