Behind every successful business is a visionary with a groundbreaking idea. But what many business owners fail to recognize is that the vision isn't enough—you need direction. And you can't have that if you don't know where you stand.For big-time entrepreneur enabler James Orsini, there are two vital things a growing business needs besides vision: knowing your numbers and integration. These allow entrepreneurs to recognize patterns and ultimately grow.James began his career in public accounting at KPMG Peat Marwick, where he discovered his natural propensity for creativity and business execution. He's since landed nearly all C-suite levels you can think of, such as MSL CFO, SITO Mobile CEO, eventually becoming CIO and then COO at VaynerMedia. Today, he collaborates with business savant Gary Vaynerchuck and is president of The Sasha Group: a VaynerX company built to help businesses grow exponentially.In this episode of the Perfectly Mentored Podcast, James Orsini discusses the significance of integration, understanding the numbers, and working with A-players in growing a successful business.Topics Covered:James Orsini's career journey.

The pandemic has definitely forced us to rethink the future of work as most companies are now faced with a conundrum of whether they should go back to the workplace, or maybe follow a hybrid model. A number of studies show that remote work works. But is it the best thing long-term? In this episode, James Orsini, President of The Sasha Group, Shelley Zalis, CEO of The Female Quotient, and Chris Detert, the Chief Communications Officer at Influential share their thoughts on the future of work. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Why remote work works Creating flexibility for everyone Implications of working from home The concept of predictive flexibility Ways to connect without having a physical office The democratization of the workspace and the hierarchy What's missing in the Zoom world Episode Highlights: [04:36] What the Numbers Show Here are some facts: 55% of businesses globally are offering some capacity for remote work. 18% of the workforce telecommutes on a full-time basis and 77% of telecommuters report being more productive. A Stanford study of 16,000 workers over nine months found that working from home increases productivity by 13%. The same study also reported that work satisfaction and attrition rates were cut by 50%. There are a lot of positive reasons to support remote work. However, especially as a small business owner, one of the most significant benefits of being in the office is the sense of community, connection, and engagement. Researchers at the University of Michigan found that when people spent more time interacting with others – talking, socializing, and connecting – they displayed improved mental function. [07:54] The Element of Flexibility The “return to office” is a complicated conversation, as Shelley puts it. Rather, the conversation should be around how we should be creating flexibility for everyone. It means setting up a life stage accommodation, where we create the “me” versus “we.” When it's "we" time, it's more of team-building and social interaction. While during the "me" time, you don't need to be in an office just to sit there and show everyone that you're there. Work from home gives freedom and flexibility. But the real trick is how to create flexibility for all so that no one is left out. [23:34] The Democratization of The Workspace and The Hierarchy When you look at a Zoom meeting, everybody is in the same-sized box. And so, nobody realizes who's more important or whether they're higher level than you, because everybody is the same. Ideas are coming from every angle and all ideas are similar in value. Hence, the hierarchical structure has been removed. Links to Resources: VaynerX The Female Quotient Influential www.SharpeAlliance.com www.TheReinventionExchange.com RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

Rothmans Men Clothing is one of those archetypal New York landmarks that we all recognize when we're in the city. As the owner of this cherished retail spot, Ken Giddon has seen his fair share of catastrophes. His store survived 9/11, Hurricane Sandy and the financial crash of 2008, so a pandemic is no big deal, right? Well, actually, according to Ken, nothing has compared to what he's seen this last year. But that doesn't mean the end for Rothmans. It's quite the opposite. In this episode, Ken gives us the incredible backstory of how Rothmans came to be. His grandfather's advice, “We're just selling pants,” is always at the forefront of Ken's mind. This is entirely evident in his cool, calm, laid back approach to pretty much everything. He gives us the lowdown on the incredible ways he's adapted the business during the pandemic. And he gives us some hints about the funky ideas he has for the future. Don't let Ken's zen persona fool you. His company had to close its doors and sit on millions of dollars worth of inventory when Covid hit. And, of course, there was that million-dollar NYC rent price tag to worry about. What he's been able to do is no easy feat. This was such an uplifting conversation and Ken had some amazing insights. If you find yourself at a crossroads with your small business right now, you're going to want to listen up.

James Orsini is currently the president of The Sasha Group, which is a division of VaynerMedia. Prior to that, he also served as the CEO and Chief integration officer at VaynerMedia working alongside Gary Vaynerchuk. James has a 35-year career under his belt as he previously worked for The Rowland Company, Goldman Sachs, and KPMG. The Sasha Group is a company that runs like a consultancy on the frontend and an advertising agency on the backend. The company has now grown to 65 people in just a year. Senior talents help consult these entrepreneurs, founders, or challenger brands into a new way of marketing, which Gary calls Marketing for the Now. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: His career background How he transitioned into the digital media space and taking a risk How Gary Vaynerchuk broke a 150-year-old advertising model in 30 seconds Dealing with the naysayers How the COVID situation and remote work affected the work product, culture, and social connections What is 4Ds? Episode Highlights: Dealing with the naysayers It chokes a vision when people panic. It's therefore important to be able to help translate your vision to the team. How the Covid Situation and Remote Work Affected the Work Product What you're seeing is a new norm for working. Even when you're working from home, you can really stay connected. In fact, James has never felt closer to his company than he does right now. The boxes make everybody equal. They're all equal in size. An account executive has the voice of a senior vice president because it's just the same box size. Plus, there is more effort now to do some social events to keep people together. What is 4Ds? 4Ds is a classroom workshop type settings of 10 to 12 people in a conference room. It's a full-day immersion and Gary is there for an hour and a half. He goes around the room and everybody gets to ask their question. Advice to Aspiring Entrepreneurs Absorb the fact that the world is different now. So you have to adapt right now. Most are in survival mode. This is not about producing the greatest profits of all time. This is about being around to live and fight another day. Attack and move a piece of your business from defense to offense in order to survive. Resources Mentioned: The Sasha Group

James Orsini is the President of https://thesashagroup.com/ (The Sasha Group), an educational, consulting, and marketing services firm under its umbrella company, the https://vaynerx.com/ (VaynerX). James works alongside Gary Vaynerchuk, its CEO and serial entrepreneur. The Sasha Group runs as a consultancy on the front-end, and an agency in the backend. James has held previous positions as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Integration Officer for VaynerMedia, a digital agency with social at its core. He has proven himself as a great leader and has authored several business articles including Agency of the Future, Let Leaders Lead, Guided Exploration, and Practitioners Practice. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: How his entrepreneurial journey began The difference between a delegator and a facilitator The importance of positioning The need for structure in building an empire The origin behind his nickname, Jimmy The Pencil How James uses social media in his favor, personally and business-wise Leveraging podcasts to drive engagement What they've done for Gary to become more than just the social media guy Putting together the Eisenhower Matrix to execute their ideas What strategies worked and what didn't work Episode Highlights: Delegation vs. Facilitation Delegation is having somebody do what it is that you should do or can do. Facilitation is taking the time to understand what people do well, and then connecting them with other people who have that need.  The Importance of Positioning Positioning is very important because the most value comes when everybody feels like they're a winner at the table. It's not when one walks away being the loser, and one walks away being the winner. We find value when everybody walks out of the room and feels like they've won. Therefore, positioning is very important in negotiations, in client-agency relationships, in boss and staff relationships, and in business in general.  Establishing VaynerX as a Holding Company  In order for you to be a $500-million integrated, independent, international communications company, you're going to have to be more than a social media advertising company. You need a structure when you're growing an empire. As a result, VaynerX became the holding company and Sasha Group is under this VaynerX umbrella. There needs to be a clear head at the top of it, with a vision to take it forward. The Bible says that without a vision, the people perish. So the same thing holds for a company. Gary is the social media guy but you can't be $500 million being the social media guy so he had to be more than that. So he worked hard on it. He acquired companies, spun off a tech company from his media department, and started a new company. On the day he announced  The Sasha Group, they had 4,700 inquiries in 48 hours. He also acquired a company and birthed Vayner commerce. Now, he's got https://vaynerspeakers.com/ (Vayner Speakers) and https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/introducing-vaynertalent/ (VaynerTalent).

James Orsini is the President of The Sasha Group, an educational, consulting, and marketing services firm under its umbrella company, the VaynerX. James works alongside Gary Vaynerchuk, its CEO and serial entrepreneur. The Sasha Group runs as a consultancy on the front-end, and an agency in the backend. James has held previous positions as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Integration Officer for VaynerMedia, a digital agency with social at its core. He has proven himself as a great leader and has authored several business articles including Agency of the Future, Let Leaders Lead, Guided Exploration, and Practitioners Practice. Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: How his entrepreneurial journey began The difference between a delegator and a facilitator The importance of positioning The need for structure in building an empire The origin behind his nickname, Jimmy The Pencil How James uses social media in his favor, personally and business-wise Leveraging podcasts to drive engagement What they’ve done for Gary to become more than just the social media guy Putting together the Eisenhower Matrix to execute their ideas What strategies worked and what didn’t work Episode Highlights: Delegation vs. Facilitation Delegation is having somebody do what it is that you should do or can do. Facilitation is taking the time to understand what people do well, and then connecting them with other people who have that need. The Importance of Positioning Positioning is very important because the most value comes when everybody feels like they're a winner at the table. It's not when one walks away being the loser, and one walks away being the winner. We find value when everybody walks out of the room and feels like they've won. Therefore, positioning is very important in negotiations, in client-agency relationships, in boss and staff relationships, and in business in general. Establishing VaynerX as a Holding Company In order for you to be a $500-million integrated, independent, international communications company, you're going to have to be more than a social media advertising company. You need a structure when you're growing an empire. As a result, VaynerX became the holding company and Sasha Group is under this VaynerX umbrella. There needs to be a clear head at the top of it, with a vision to take it forward. The Bible says that without a vision, the people perish. So the same thing holds for a company. Gary is the social media guy but you can't be $500 million being the social media guy so he had to be more than that. So he worked hard on it. He acquired companies, spun off a tech company from his media department, and started a new company. On the day he announced The Sasha Group, they had 4,700 inquiries in 48 hours. He also acquired a company and birthed Vayner commerce. Now, he's got Vayner Speakers and VaynerTalent.

Want a peek into Gary Vaynerchuk's and VaynerX's agency growth strategy? What can you learn about agency structure and growth from VaynerMedia? What does it take to become a "visionary" like Gary Vee? Great questions! And the President of The Sasha Group (a VaynerX agency) is here to share all this and more. Check out how you can apply some very Gary principles to your digital agency. In today's episode, we'll cover: What does an agency COO do? 3 things that make a good agency visionary. 4 ways to create a successful offshoot agency. The biggest piece of marketing advice from The Sasha Group president. Today, I talked with James Orsini, the President of The Sasha Group — an agency under the VaynerX banner that services $1 million and $100 million companies. James was also the former COO of VaynerMedia — and he's responsible for helping align and execute on Gary Vaynerchuck's visions. So, how did James go from COO of VaynerMedia to President of The Sasha Group? And how does The Sasha Group help VaynerMedia funnel smaller clients into their agency? Let's find out! What Does an Agency COO Do? James was the COO of VaynerMedia before he took on the President position at The Sasha Group. Why is it important to have a COO and what role do they play within the agency? The Agency COO helps facilitate responsibilities and set strategies. James explains it like this: Gary sets the vision. James sets the strategy. And the senior leadership executes that vision using those strategies to create tangible results. Every agency does the Tango with those three primary pillars (i.e., vision, strategy, and execution.) But it can be tough to do all of it alone. Typically, the visionary type isn't the best strategy person. And that strategy person may or may not be good at execution. You don't want one person trying to do all three things. And that's a major problem for some agency owners. We love to do everything. Not only do you not have to set strategies and execute those strategies, you probably shouldn't. Hire for your weaknesses, and hire an A-team that can help facilitate your visions. 3 Things That Make a Good Agency Visionary We all know Gary Vee is a visionary. He's in the all-star category with Seth Godin, Rand Fishkin, Neil Patel, and all of the other marketers who are the brand of their agency. Gary has an insanely popular YouTube channel, tons of clout in the industry, and a massive agency to back it up. But what makes someone a good visionary? Is it an inherent trait? Or something you can learn? Is it when their image transcends their agency? Is it their ability to lead, inspire, and innovate broadly? Or maybe visionaries are freak occurrences that just happen. Maybe it's just in their DNA. Maybe we're born visionaries... I believe anyone can be a visionary. You just have to focus on three things: The Big Picture: You can't get emotionally attached to projects, and you can't sweat the small technical details. Visionaries see and communicate the big picture and trust their team to carry it out. Leadership: Gary calls himself the "moldable dictator." He's the main man but he's also willing to pivot ideas and adjust plays when necessary. Hold the reigns to your agency. But be willing to listen to the ideas of those smart people you've hired. Find the Attention: Find what the people want — not what you want them to want. Gary Vee understands consumer attention is focused on social platforms. So, he is present on all social platforms and he started a social media agency. Steve Jobs understood what people wanted (i.e., gorgeous devices that are simple and contained.) So, he focused on well-designed devices that existed in a closed-source ecosystem. Focus on what the marketplace wants and demands. 4 Ways to Create a Successful Offshoot Agency When your agency starts to grow, you have to start saying no. But, every time you say it, a little piece of you dies inside. After all, someone is sitting cash on the table in front of you, but you have to tell them no because you'retrying to stay focused on the right projects and clients to grow your agency. So, why not make an offshoot agency? Whether is SaaS or a complementary service, your smaller agency can handle some of the smaller clients, and you get to keep the revenue. It's a win-win... right? Maybe. But here's the problem — offshoot agencies have a bad habit of failing. But The Sasha Group is far from failing. And, with their mission statement of "we'll help you outgrow us into VaynerMedia," they're setting the stage for Vayner to funnel small businesses to them. So what makes them different? They don't use main agency resources: You can't use the same resources for your offshoot agency as you do for your main one. Why wouldn't they just go to your main agency at that point? They need to be separate entities with different day-to-day leadership and execution teams. They don't just take "low budget" clients: James says big clients with small budgets aren't "small budget," they're cheap. The Sasha Group only takes small businesses with revenue between $1 million and $100 million. That's it! And they vet each one first. You need to carefully define your ideal client before you launch your offshoot. They lean in as a consultant first: The Sasha Group's main goal is to scale businesses and be a feeder for VaynerMedia. So, they always start by being consultants first and creatives later. They bring an A team to small businesses: When small businesses look for agencies, they usually have to deal with small agencies and B-team offshoots. If you line your offshoot with A-level talent, you'll already be a step ahead. A Golden Nugget On Agency Growth What does the President of The Sasha Group say is the most important piece of advice for new agency owners? Great marketing can't sell a shit product. We've talked about saying no to clients due to their aggressive requirements, low budgets, or overbearing needs before. But what about when their product just... sucks? Here's the thing — if you don't believe in their product, how in the world are you going to effectively market it? An agency's success is measured by specific KPI's. You can create the best marketing ever, but if the product sucks, no one is going to buy it and your work will be measured accordingly. And, at the end of the day, that's going to reflect on your agency. Would You Like More Leads for Your Agency?

Genuine content is what works. Being President at The Sasha Group which is a VaynerX company, James Orsini believes that when it comes to standing out, we need to be ourselves and not worry so much about being correct. James works alongside serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk and leads The Sasha Group in helping small businesses reach explosive growth potential. Today, he talks about creating content that works, the difference between branding and sales, how to go about finding a COO, and what it takes to be successful as an employee and as a person. Meeting new people and growing your network is critical to any kind of success. Doing LinkedIn videos real-time helps you do just that. Bestselling author and small business advisor Rhett Power talks about doing LinkedIn Lives and the kind of engagement you’re going to get using it. He also touches on the collaborative coaching and leadership book he’s doing with three other executive coaches. Love the show?

“ I am a leader because people follow me, not because I’m in charge or I tell them to.”

If I had to describe this influential COO in one word, it would be balanced. No... maybe it would be intelligent Or maybe poised. Open-handed might be a good one. Anyway... you get it!I had the privilege of interviewing one of the businessmen I look up to most, James Orsini; Chief Operating Officer of the explosive, game changing empire that is VaynerMedia. Sure... millions and millions of people know and follow Gary Vaynerchuk. But a visionary like that needs someone to execute. When Gary keeps throwing Hail Marys, someone needs to catch it in the end zone. That someone is James.James has served in some major global roles as the COO of Interbrand, EVP of Finance and Operations for Saatchi & Saatchi, and the President and CEO of SITO Mobil.Since I first met him in February of this year, he has quickly become a true mentor.

Monday Motivation: Consistency/Being a Team Player - James Orsini, COO at VaynerMedia

“Work for a person, not a company”. Some of the first words offering a glimpse into the Cannonball Mindset of James Orsini, COO and right-hand man for Gary Vaynerchuk at VaynerMedia. But even more telling is how he'd describe the work he does for Gary:  “I take dreams and put them into action plans”. Whether its integrating 5 generations into the company workforce to facilitating the dreams of their Fortune 500 clients across the company's 4 locations - it all starts with understanding what people do. Then, he simply connects the dots.

If you’re an entrepreneur, there’s a very good chance you’re familiar with Gary Vaynerchuk. Over the years I’ve watched as Gary’s built one of the biggest personal brands in the world, culminating with the launch of his very own sneaker line that launched last year with K-Swiss. Well in addition to his personal brand, Gary’s primary focus has been the growth of his media agency, Vayner Media. Vayner Media is a full service, digital marketing agency for Fortune 500 clients… If you’re Budweiser, Toyota, or Pepsi and you’re looking to implement a comprehensive digital marketing campaign across all major social platforms and devices, then Vayner is the company you call. Within the past few years, they’ve grown to more than 700 employees, and revenue that’s now into the 9 figures. So how did he do it? How did Gary create and scale Vayner Media into one of the fastest growing ad agencies in the world? We’ll our guest today, has been a big part of their growth… His name is James Orsini. He’s VaynerMedia’s COO, and he’s the man behind the scenes whose primary job, is to bring Gary’s vision to life. Today you’re going to get a completely unique look behind the curtain of Vayner Media. You’ll find out how James and Gary met, how they run and scale the business, and what you need to look for most, when hiring a COO like James for your business. Make sure you stick around until the very end, because VaynerMedia has some fantastic mentoring programs from small businesses and solo-entrepreneurs that I was unaware of, and that I think you’ll find incredibly valuable. Now before we dive in, I want to apologize ahead of time for the popping noise you’ll hear during this interview. After trying several different microphones, we finally figured out that the audio jack on James’ computer was broken, and there was no way to avoid the noise. Thankfully it gets better as the interview goes on, but I just wanted to let you know about it ahead of time. With that being said, please welcome the COO of VaynerMedia, James Orsini.  Resources: VaynerMedia.com VaynerX.com Follow James on Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram | Medium Music: Music by:Electro-Light Song:Symbollism pt.

*It's officially been a year since I left VaynerMedia: here are my Top 5 Tips for New Entrepreneurs based on the very real lessons I learned. It also includes a free Business Checklist for New Entrepreneurs that I made in partnership with my attorney Nico Becerra (Ep. #14). I feel particularly passionate about this topic because most entrepreneurial content online is motivational and not about what you genuinely need to do in order to create a legitimate business. That's why Nico and I are working to provide you with valuable resources to make sure, if entrepreneurship is actually the right path for you, you can set yourself up for success right out the gate. ------------ "Ideas are shi*t, execution is the game." -@garyvee Big ideas aren’t enough to sustain a business. You need executors - James Orsini is an executor. This week’s interview is with VaynerMedia’s Chief Operating Officer and Gary Vaynerchuk’s #2, James Orsini. James has more than 30 years of finance and operations experience. He has held high level positions at global agencies like Saatchi & Saatchi & Interbrand. He was a global CFO overseeing 31 offices in 26 countries before he was 30. James has held most C-Suite executive roles from CEO to COO to CFO to CIO (and he’s also a CPA!), which makes him beyond qualified to speak to what makes some of the biggest agencies in the world run successfully. On this episode, we talk: His process to bring Garyvee's business visions to life What makes a good COO Scaling a business the right way How new divisions at VaynerMedia are created When it's time for divisions to be dissolved How VaynerMedia thinks about fees & pricing Why James is not interested in being a CEO again (& more!) ------- SHOW NOTE TIMESTAMPS 3:42 - James' background before Vayner  6:24 - So you said you were a global CFO before you were 30- how were you able to rise through the ranks so quickly? Can you explain even the difference between the role is as a CEO vs a COO vs a CFO (and which of those is the most stressful)? 8:14 - So when you started at Vayner you came in as Chief Integration Officer. What was your decision to actually join Vayner, and why that role? Did you know that was going to ascend to COO later?  11:10 - How has your day to day role changed in the move from Chief Integration Officer to COO? 12:01 - To give people a little background what is Vayner X? 13:45 - When Gary acquires a “Pure Wow”, do you oversee the operations of “Pure Wow” or does that operate completely independently? 14:42 - Gary and AJ have business experience but not traditional operations experience from the magnitude that you're used to in advertising. What operating systems were not in place at Vayner that you helped institute? 16:19 - How is Vayner the same as agencies that you’ve worked for and how has it been different?  17:00 - A COO’s responsibilities are so dependent on the CEO you work with, and one of the things I loved about working with Gary is that he's not a micromanager. I don't know how your relationship goes in terms of decisions; does every decision need to run through him? Are you allowed to execute on ideas you have or is it him coming to you with ideas and then you just have to execute on those? 18:00 - How has Gary been different from other CEOs? Is it just his vision or has it been something more than that? 20:34 - What makes a great COO? 21:53 - Gary is famous for saying ‘ideas are shit, execution is the game,’ so obviously you have that background. What’s your decision making style then? How do you logic something out? If he comes to you and he's like, ‘I want to build a Twitch studio tomorrow,’ where do you even start? 23:29 - You're obviously a financial mind, too. So let's say he comes to you with an idea, where do you start? Do you start with the financial aspects, do start with trying to understand it as a general business, do you try to understand it as a process that doesn't maybe exist yet? 25:18 - Because you do have this financial experience I'm sure you're looking at profit and loss statements. How does your job interact with the CFO world? How do you and Alan work together? 27:23 - So a big part of your role is efficiency. What are the metrics to gauge efficiency? If something is not efficient, where do you start looking to streamline it? 28:12 - So then how do you think about the strategy - in general for growth and expansion, is it usually coming up with new offerings, is it about bringing in more business for the same offerings? 30:55 - We’re definitely going to talk about Vaynermentors, but even just talking about the 4 D’s and other offerings like AI and voice services, how do you guys figure out what to charge? I know with at least the 4D’s you can maybe ballpark like what Gary would get for an hour or whatever, but if you’re implementing a completely new service…? 32:12 - So is that when you decide if you should raise rates?  34:00 - You’ve worked for a ton of companies at this point. What are some of the biggest mistakes you see when people are trying to scale and how can you avoid them? 35:24 - So I know Vayner has the London office and that there’s always been talk about a Singapore office or some kind of Asian hub (who knows if you'd expect the Latin America) --  What are the important elements to look for in terms of global expansion? 36:29 - Speaking of things that might not work, when it comes to divisions of the agency that end up getting dissolved, how do you gauge when it's time to call it quits? 39:08 - So then what's the rotation for you on checking in on departments? Like you said, now you have the experience aspect, you have the studios, you have a Vayner Talent, and a Vayner Beta, and all of this stuff happening…  40:37 - What aspects of Culture do you need to take into account? What are you guys having that kind of conversation about? 41:34 - So I'm always interested when Gary introduces a new offering. We touched on it earlier, but I know you've been particularly excited about Vaynermentors- can you tell me a little bit more about who this is for? 45:45 - So how much growth can these companies expect, or is there no expectation put on that? 47:02 - I know this is new but how long does it take to really deep dive and truly understand one of these businesses? It seems like it would be very time-consuming. 47:50 - Is there anybody that you look to for business advice, and how do you stay up-to-date on trends? 48:49 - You've been really active on social media now- were you active on social media before you joined Vayner? 49:22 - So are you working on building your personal brand? Is that actually a goal of yours or is it more just for fun? 50:30 - What do you think the secret to influence is? 51:55 - You mentioned that social and digital is the last piece that you didn't have on your resume- what's the dream for you at this point? 53:07 - You have been the #1 and right now you’re Vaynermedia’s #2- when did you realize you didn’t want to be a #1?  55:53 - Where can people find you? ------- To connect with James: Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Snapchat VaynerMentors Info To connect with Brittany: Instagram Twitter LinkedIn  Website Sign up here if you want to receive the latest news on growing you industry influence! #beyondinfluential #beyondinfluentialpodcast

Accepting the role as COO of Vaynermedia was the last puzzle piece for James Orsini. His first job in public accounting, time at Goldman and Sachs, decade in public relations and last few years as a chief operating officer had all led to this moment. When Orsini turned forty, he knew it was time for something new. That's when Gary Vee entered the picture. Gary explained to James that his goal was to build a 500 million dollar international and independent integration company. He offered James the job as COO with one request, use his experience to guide Vaynermedia away from the mistakes the other multi-million-dollar businesses were making. Gary's goal was speed and Orsini's abilities were going to be favorable to the company's success. As James explains in this episode, life is a series of learning. When we go through processes with the intention of learning, you figure out how to go through the same process again faster and more efficiently. Using his past mistakes as pivotal career lessons, James has helped grow Vaynermedia from a 42 million dollar company to a 130 million dollar company in three years. His time working alongside Gary Vee in the world of social media has placed the final puzzle piece in James' career making him one of the most decorated business men in the world. In this episode we talk about one of James' first huge business mistakes, how his hobby for business has led to his success and what specific business trait has led to Vaynermedia's massive success.
