There are many life lessons in the story of how Leann Abad met Gary Vaynerchuck.
It all began with understanding that if you want for something you have to work for it.
A lesson Leann learned through competing in different sports throughout his youth.
When Leann was a freshman at the University of Michigan, he snuck into a tailgate to meet the owner of the Miami Dolphins, Steve Ross.
That planted the seed of meeting Gary Vee.
For months, he would tweet & email Gary with no response.
Finally, after sending a clever email that showcased his social proof- Gary agreed to meet.
Leann's advice for outreaching to busy people?
Figure out their schedule via social media and reach out to them while they're traveling.
I love this story because it demonstrates Leann's grit, hustle, and unwillingness to settle.
Leann is the founder of Ashe Media and runs a podcast called Michigan Makers.
