Yes. Regarding the ambition. No about the Gary. I mean this guy brags about how he stole the flowers from a neighbor, then knocked on her door and gave her flowers as a gift.

Gary Vaynerchuk is a two-faced liar and a charlatan. I wonder what shitcoin social media app is he selling this week, lol the guy is a snake-oil salesman, but he uses blockchain to sell snake oil.

"He's scared the slaves will wake up and amd figure out a way to feed themselves."

If they did that, he would be out of work. He can only make a profit from desperate people who don't know they are being conned by this guy.

As for ambition, ambition by itself is critical for motivation to achieve more once you have satisfied your basic psychological needs. But ambition needs to be tempered with humility, integrity, and other virtues, not vices such as insatiable greed or avarice and arrogance. Kind of like what Gary would do. No matter how many millions he has because he scammed so many people, he still wants more. People need better role models, not fake ones, like Gary's sales pitches.

Ambition (Desire) - a desire for personal achievement. Like I mentioned earlier, its important with what ambition is tempered with.

tempered
tĕm′pərd
adjective

• Having a specified temper or disposition. Often used in combination.
• Adjusted or attuned by the addition of a counterbalancing element; moderated or measured.
• Made appropriately hard or flexible by tempering.
