Staying Strong in Difficult Times: Advice from Gary Vaynerchuk

by

In a candid interview with Jason from Cells for Cells, the renowned entrepreneur and motivational speaker, Gary Vaynerchuk, shares his insights on how to stay strong during challenging times. While Gary acknowledges that it’s not his place to advise someone dealing with a seriously ill family member, he offers valuable wisdom for navigating other difficult situations.

A Message of Empowerment

Gary emphasizes the importance of not wasting time and avoiding dwelling on negativity. He believes that dwelling doesn’t provide any solutions and only prolongs the pain. Instead, he advocates for action, execution, and making the most out of challenging circumstances.

The Power of Storytelling

In a world filled with tools like the recording camera used in the interview, Gary encourages individuals to create and share their stories. He believes that by sharing personal experiences and emotions, you can help others going through similar hardships. This act of storytelling can empower both the storyteller and those who hear the stories.

Supporting One Another

Gary’s advice centers on the idea that, even in tough times, we can find strength by helping and supporting others. By sharing our own experiences and offering a helping hand, we create a sense of unity and empowerment within our communities.

Conclusion

While Gary Vaynerchuk recognizes that each challenging situation is unique, his message ultimately revolves around the power of action, storytelling, and support. In the face of adversity, it’s our collective strength and resilience that can make a significant difference.

From 3-Pointers to Recycling: How I Teamed Up with Pepsi to Make a Difference

by

A Friendly Challenge

Years ago, at a Chamber of Commerce event, I challenged our area Pepsi Guy in a thrilling 3-point contest. The trash talk leading up to our turn was vicious and nasty (and business appropriate).

I won.

I remember jogging to the sidelines so out of breath and my mouth so dry, that I couldn’t even speak the words ‘water.’

But I won…and I teamed up with Pepsi to Battle Cancer.

Connecting over a Cause

After the contest, Pepsi Guy offered me five minutes to discuss my company, Cells for Cells where our mission is to recycle old cell phones and raise money for families battling cancer.

We decided to join forces locally and make a real impact in our community.

Supporting Light the Night

Our connection with Pepsi grew stronger, and I was able to introduce the Pepsi team to my friend working at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Pepsi generously provided all the beverages for the Light the Night Event, the LLS’s largest event in Kansas City.

A Big Opportunity with Pepsi Corporate

Building on our local success, I asked Pepsi Guy if he could connect me with someone at Pepsi’s corporate level.

He introduced me to the East Regional Gal, who, in turn, connected me with the Head of Sustainability at Pepsi World Headquarters in New York.

A Partnership with Purpose

After a thoughtful three-day review, the Head of Sustainability expressed personal alignment with our mission. He said,

“I also connected with your mission on a personal level. To me it was a simple win-win situation for everyone involved.“

– Victor Melendez former Head of Sustainability at Pepsi World Headquarters

We were invited to be a part of the Official Pepsi Eco-challenge, where we recycled thousands of old cell phones for Pepsi.

Beyond the Court

This journey began with a 3-point contest victory and evolved into a powerful partnership where we helped more families battling cancer

The lesson? Sometimes a winning shot can lead to something much bigger.

Help us. Join us. Recycle with us.

If you’re not a 3-point expert but have a box of old cell phones waiting to be recycled, don’t hesitate to connect with me.

Overcome Gravity: Recycle and Battle Cancer with Cells for Cells

by

The Weight of Recycling

In the recycling industry, we often share a lighthearted joke about our biggest battle: overcoming gravity. What we mean by this is that, at times, that seemingly mundane box of old iPhones, cell phones, or recyclables lost under your desk can feel like an insurmountable weight. It’s as if the box weighs hundreds of tons, and the prospect of dealing with it can be daunting.

It’s That Simple

But here’s where Cells for Cells steps in to lend a helping hand: if you choose to recycle with us, we provide FREE FedEx shipping, making the process a breeze.

So, you’re practically done at this point—yes, it’s that simple!

The Battle Against Cancer

But let’s put things in perspective. The relative size of your battle (lifting that box of old phones) pales in comparison to the battles others are courageously fighting every day. We’re talking about the battle against cancer. Cells for Cells has been at the forefront, raising tens of thousands of dollars for cancer charities, with a special focus on The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. More recently, we’ve extended our support directly to families through social platforms like Give Send Go and Go Fund Me.

A Personal Connection to Cancer

The inspiration behind Cells for Cells stems from a deeply personal experience. I founded this initiative because my Grandfather lost his battle with cancer, and our family found ourselves lost, unsure of how to cope. That weight was heavier than gravity itself.

It’s this very experience that drives us to help others by lightening their load in the fight against cancer—by raising funds through recycling. We invite you to be a part of this mission, to join us in making a difference.

Help us. Join us. Recycle with us.

Important Updates, Tips, and Notes From Ripple Glass

Cells for Cells: When someone asks themselves ‘How can I be better at recycling my GLASS’ what are 4 easy things anyone can do right now in 2023 to be better at recycling?

Ripple Glass: 1. Keep your plastic bags and plastic wrap out of your recycling bin. These items can only be recycled at the drop-off containers at your grocery stores, or you can put them in your trashcan.

2. Rinse or wipe out your recyclables, especially your plastics. The markets for plastic are very depressed right now, so the items need to be perfectly clean.

3. Purchase items that are easily recycled, and recycled locally. Glass and aluminum are great choices.

4. When you have an odd item, and you’re not sure if you can recycle it, check recyclespot.org for good local options! [Jason’s note: When your office needs to recycle old or broken cell phones request free shipping labels from Cells for Cells .
