Sinan Deriş’s Post

Thank you, Gary Vaynerchuk and VaynerX Hello, Jimmy Donaldson and MrBeast After 8 years at Vayner, I will start a new role at MrBeast as Brand Director. There are too many people to thank. My biggest thank you goes to Gary. He gave a random Turkish college kid a chance when he did not have to. That chance changed my life. Vayner changed my life. Thank you, GV for giving me a chance and believing in me. For all the leaders who have the power to change lives: Give the inexperienced candidates a chance. Give the inexperienced candidates with work ethic a chance. Give the inexperienced candidates with the right attitude a chance. Give the inexperienced candidates with a coachable mindset a chance. Give the inexperienced candidates who are hungry to succeed a chance. I'll end with this. Four years ago, before we went on a hiring spree. I asked Gary for advice during a 1:1 meeting: Me: "I've never interviewed or hired anyone before. What's your advice?" Gary: "Hiring is 90% guessing. But if you guess right. Great things happen. Trust your intuition. That's how I hired you." I got a chance, worked incredibly hard, and delivered on all the opportunities that I got. I hope you give someone or someone gives you a chance too. Thank you to G, my friends, and colleagues at Vayner. I will miss you all so much 💙

Congrats Sinan, I don’t know why but as a Turkish this post made me emotional. Best of luck in your new journey 🤓

Massive congratulations, Sinan. And well deserved. Your focus, dedication, passion and good natured temperament is a tremendous asset to whoever is smart enough to hire you. Best of luck to you and your new endeavor. (Is that enough praise to have earned a box of Feastables?)
