AJ is the youngest of three children. The eldest, Gary was born in Belarus and about three years old when the family emigrated to the United States.Tamara didn't have your typical childhood. She was born in the former Soviet Union. During turbulent times, when Tamara was a young girl, she lost many family members, including her mother at the age of five. Though very young when her mom died, she can recall many vivid memories of her and refers to her mom as a "ray of sunshine." It's this positivity that AJ loves and appreciates and hopes to raise his three children in that same kind of environment with similar philosophies.It's a tough transition, coming to the US, barely speaking english, looking for work and having a family. Sacha, AJ's dad worked non-stop, so Tamara could stay home and be with the children. She eventually worked part-time in the family business in New Jersey, "The Wine Library, which is one of the most highly regarded wine and gourmet foodAj confesses, " the worst thing I could do is disappoint my mom and dad." Both parents expected a lot from their kids academically though Gary the eldest struggled, Liz their sister did well, but AJ says "it came naturally to me. If I listened in class and did my homework, I got good grades."In hearing AJ share stories of his mom and dad, he so appreciates how they worked to shield him from a lot of their childhood trauma and sadness. As the youngest, they felt it was important to offer AJ only the good stories of their past. They were setting aside their stories from long ago, to instill happiness, peace and positivity in their children." There's nothing but appreciation and respect for all the hard work his parents did for the family. As first generation Americans, the doors are open wide for any and all opportunities.AJ and his brother Gary are both major business entrepreneurs and huge sports fans, in particular-huge Jets and Nick's fans! You may be familiar with Vayner Media, a legendary media agency, VaynerX where AJ was the former founder and COO and VaynerSports which Gary and AJ started in 2016. AJ is the Cofounder and CO-CEO.

¡Estoy muy entusiasmado! Son las 8:34 p.m. y todavía estoy en la oficina. Tengo dos reuniones más con Sid, que lidera Team Gary, voy a ir a esas. Raghav y yo acabamos de hacer un montón de cosas para el nuevo libro, estoy muy emocionado por eso. Luego tengo a Steele después de Sid, trabajando en muchos proyectos especiales para mí. Así que en un rato voy a ver a Steele y luego 10 personas de VaynerSports están aquí porque hoy es jueves y estamos en temporada de la NFL. Estaré un rato con ellos. Hoy será hasta las 11 p.m., pero uno se acuesta en la cama que uno mismo se hace. Siempre digo a la gente que voy con todo, así que no puedo quejarme de las noches hasta las 11 p.m. cuando ocurren, o de los vuelos muy tarde, o temprano o cosas por el estilo. Yo tengo el control. Si no me gusta, dejo de hacerlo. Tú estás en control de tu ambición, así que debes vivir de acuerdo a eso. Veo a mucha gente que se queja por cosas que ellos decidieron hacer. No puedo quejarme por días de trabajo operativo hasta las 11 p.m. Eso lo decidí yo, lo escogí yo. Y si llego a un punto en el que no lo disfruto durante un período sostenido, entonces lo cambio, porque eso es lo que he hecho toda mi vida. Tú estás en control de la cama en la que decides acostarte. Recuerda eso, sin importar cuánto creas que no estás en control. El gobierno, mis padres, mis circunstancias, “no lo entiendes, Gary”. Tengo esto y lo otro y lo otro. No, eres tú quien no entiende. De todos los ejemplos en el planeta, desde los más extremadamente desafiantes hasta los más simples, hay personas que están viviendo una vida similar a la tuya. Yo, posiblemente, no esté viviendo una vida similar a la tuya, pero hay personas que viven algo parecido a lo tuyo y son más fel ices que tú, porque tienen una perspectiva diferente a la tuya. Esa es la base del tipo de contenido que más me apasiona. Cambiar el punto de vista de la gente para que se den cuenta de que SÍ pueden cambiar, incluso en las circunstancias más desafiantes. Una deuda abrumadora, relaciones infelices, un trabajo terrible, todo es controlable. En algún lugar del mundo, alguien ha logrado felicidad, alegría, satisfacción y éxito, estando en la misma situación emocional y financiera en la que tú estás en este momento. Eso significa que tú puedes. Significa que tú también puedes hacerlo. Y si no crees que puedes, y ahora mismo me quieres gritar a mí a través de tu teléfono o tú pantalla, bueno, entonces significa que no lo vas a hacer, y yo no tengo nada para ti. ¡La atención es el activo número uno!

Finding one's way to the glory of the gridiron can take windy paths, and for those NFL bubble players looking to make it, there are no easy roads. The pathway is no more glamourous for fledgling sports agents trying to make it to the big show. This discussion comes when the NFL landscape is veering towards a more transparent ethos, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes toil that propels the game forward. And how high are the stakes? Only 1.6% of college football players make it to the NFL. The narrative explores the intricate dance between the underdog players striving for a foothold in the league and the burgeoning agents determined to carve a niche in the high-stakes domain of player representation.What does it entail for a Division III football player and a developing agent to navigate the rigorous journey toward NFL acclaim? This uncharted narrative mirrors the relentless ambition and camaraderie that fuels the NFL's unsung heroes.In the latest episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, host Adam Morrisey sits down with former NFL player Brandon Zylstra and NFL Player Agent Jaymeson Moten of VaynerSports, peeking into the unseen lives and uphill battles of NFL bubble players and their agents. Morrisey, Zylstra, and Moten's conversation traverse the terrains of ambition, mentorship, and gritty resolve, including the following:• Zylstra's journey from a Division III football player to breaking records in the CFL before landing NFL contracts epitomizing the sheer grit and relentless ambition inherent in bubble players• Moton's transition from a basketball enthusiast to an NFL agent and his eventual partnership with childhood friend Zylstra• The systemic barriers within the NFL and the player representation sphere• Industrial-essential and motivational reads from Crunching Numbers: An Inside Look At The Salary Cap And Negotiating Player Contracts to The AlchemistJaymeson Moten, a zealous sports enthusiast turned NFL agent, is a shining exemplar of relentless ambition converging with opportunity. Holding a certification from the NFLPA, Moten's journey began alongside his childhood friend, Zylstra, nurturing a dream that would eventually morph into a professional alliance. Zylstra is a former NFL special teams player with the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers.

If you've spent more than two minutes somewhere on social media, you have probably come across Gary Vaynerchuk. For years I have wondered, is this just a character? Or is there a real Gary Vaynerchuk somewhere behind “GaryVee,” the social media entrepreneur and internet brand? Gary got his start working at his family's liquor store, which he turned into an online wine shop. That's where he started in social media, hosting a long-running YouTube show called “Wine Library TV.” He parlayed that into the gigantic GaryVee brand, which at its core, is about entrepreneurship. Gary co-founded the restaurant reservation platform Resy, which he sold to American Express in 2019, and Empathy Wines which he sold in 2020. The Vaynerchuk empire remains vast, and it's structured in complicated ways. There's holding company VaynerX, which contains the ad agency VaynerMedia. There's another company called Gallery Media which owns lifestyle websites. Gary even co-founded a sports agency – VaynerSports, with pro athletes like the NFL's Kirk Cousins and Sauce Gardner on the roster, MLB shortstop Bo Bichette, and a variety of combat athletes. On top of all that, there's a serious upheaval going on in digital media. The era of the social web is coming to a major moment of change, with new platforms like TikTok in the mix and old standbys like Twitter and Reddit going through complicated and controversial resets. New platforms bring new personalities and influencers, who are native to those platforms and maybe better at capturing the audience there. It's one thing when you're the first GaryVee. But staying GaryVee, in a time of change, and pitching brands and companies that his approach to social media will stay relevant, is an ongoing challenge. We got to chat with Gary at his Hudson Yards office in Manhattan and I will tell you, he did not hold back with his answers.
