Our friend Jason Calacanis (@jason) had the always entertaining and passionate Gary Vaynerchuck (@garyvee) on his “This Week in Startups” show last Friday. Gary was there to talk about his new book Crush It and took calls and answered tweets from TWIST viewers looking for his insight on entrepreneurship.

If you’re not familiar with Gary, he’s the man behind the uber-popular video blog Wine Library TV, which reaches more than 80,000 viewers a day, and is an expert at leveraging social media tools like Twitter and Facebook to build his personal brand and business.

Here are some quick quotable takeaways from Gary during the show:

“People aren’t betting on their sweat equity enough.”

“The way to really better yourself is not by financial risk, but by your effort and your skill sets and your hardwork.”

“The biggest thing that separates people is hunger.”
