Discussing the Evolution of Hip-Hop Music With Juicy J

Sat, 23 Mar 2019 12:00:00 +0000

In this podcast I sit down with artist Juicy J to discuss the how the music industry has evolved.

As technology advance, the ability to consume content continues to progress as new streaming services arise. More and more control is being taken from the distributors and traditional middlemen of music, and being put into the hands of the artists themselves.

3:20 - The artists make the labels, not the other way around

8:20 - When you pop, do you have a second move?

14:45 - Traditional promotion has changed

21 - If you can entertain and inform, you’re a GOAT

27:30 - Relevance always matters

The 79/21 Rule to Build a Long Term Business

Fri, 22 Mar 2019 09:00:00 +0000

Throughout my whole career I've always been prepared for the next thing. My 79/21 theory came from a conversation on how to prepare for the future and strategic ways to allocate your energy.

In my opinion, there's more than enough hours in the day to taste everything. Really pay attention to the questions asked and my answers in this podcast episode.

7 Minutes That Can Help Scale Any Business

Wed, 20 Mar 2019 09:00:00 +0000

Why does everyone think trust is earned? To me, that process seems slow and egotistical. I believe that if you give your employees trust in the upfront, you’ll be blown away by the results.

In this podcast I focus on how CEOs can empower their team’s to facilitate scale, as well as the benefits of having a meaningful relationship with each of your employees.

:30 - why I trust my employees

3:40 - how a new hire can win

5:25 - you’re employees shouldn’t care as much as you do

The Four People Every Startup Needs

Tue, 19 Mar 2019 09:00:00 +0000

People overthink their businesses - who they hire, how they market and what they spend their money on.

If you're a start-up, I firmly believe you can make real noise with a small, scrappy team of three or four people. You just have to know what you need.

Regardless of your industry, documenting the journey is the best way to show potential customers who you are and what you do.

The following 8 minutes is a few different conversations with start-ups I'm working with. What was your biggest takeaway from this? Any feedback is helpful, tweet @GaryVee to let me know your thoughts.

1:10 - why I believe in three/four person teams

How To Make Every Penny Work Like a Dollar

Mon, 18 Mar 2019 09:00:00 +0000

A lot of companies are going to go out of business over the next decade for one main reason:

Humans don’t like change.

If you’re plan to be in business for the long term and you’re holding “what worked” in the past on a pedestal, I really hope this podcast changes the way you look at things.

This is a keynote I gave in Vegas at the International Franchise Association on Facebook and Instagram marketing in 2019, the rise of voice and machine learning, and more.

3:20 - I've always been chasing the attention of the end consumer

7:58 - I didn't come from a corporate environment

14:40 - I lose when I lose because then it's my fault

How To Crush It In 2019

Sun, 17 Mar 2019 09:00:00 +0000

Entrepreneurship today really needs to be more grounded in practicality.

Really implore you all to either start saving cash or invest your cash back into your business — the economy isn’t going to be good forever, and when things get slow, people aren’t going to talk about things like “passive income” the same way they do today.

0:00 - I worked 18 hours a day for 15 years

5:03 - Passive income needs practicality

15:55 - Changing your perspective on life

What To Do If You Don't Want To Go To College

Fri, 15 Mar 2019 09:00:00 +0000

If you’re 25, you could literally die and live an entirely new life up to this point, and you’d still barely be at “halftime.”

That’s why I tell so many 18, 22, 25, and 30 year olds to just put their head down and grind for a decade - if they have the ambition to build something for the rest of their lives.

In this podcast with Pencils of Promise founder Adam Braun, I talk more about what to do if you don’t want to go to college, what to do after high school, and more.

1:49 - advice on what to do after high school if you don't want to go to college

A few weeks ago, I put up an Instagram post where I asked people to make a video thanking people for following them.

Why You Need to Start Storytelling Today

Tue, 12 Mar 2019 09:00:00 +0000

There’s so much opportunity available today but what most people don’t realize is, this all goes away.

Eventually, Facebook and Instagram advertising will become like the Yellow Pages or billboards — that’s why I’m trying to get so many of you to “squeeze” while this opportunity is still available to you.

In this podcast, I talk about some tactics and strategies you can use to storytelling around your brand

0:30 - The internet is the single most underrated thing in society

I am starting a new series on the podcast - From My Inbox To Your Ears - where I will be sharing stories of people who have executed on the advice that I have been sharing for free through the years.

I’m just putting pressure to get people’s actions to map to their ambitions.

Hope this episode helps a few of you figure out who you are, your strengths and weaknesses, and gives you a better sense of what you want to do.

The Real Reason Why Most People Aren’t Patient

Sat, 09 Mar 2019 11:00:00 +0000

It’s very rare that someone comes to me with an idea or a project and I really think it’s going to work.

Sometimes, I’ll respond to a 27 or 28-year-old kid and tell them it’s going to “work” if they stick with it for 7 or 8 years, and they’re disappointed — because they think “34” is old.

I address it in this podcast - really hope this breaks through to a few of you.

Stop Living For The Weekend

Fri, 08 Mar 2019 10:00:00 +0000

If you hate your Monday through Friday, you’re in big trouble.

I really want to put pressure on this conversation — I see so many people today living for the weekend and cheering for Friday because it’s a “relief” from their week.

Don’t get it twisted — I love family time and I’m not saying to not spend time with people you care about, but if you’re using the weekend as an “escape” from your week, you need to figure out an alternative.

Hope this podcast helps put this in perspective for a few of you :) Let me know what you thought @GaryVee on Twitter

3 Unconventional Strategies to Grow Small Businesses In 2019

Thu, 07 Mar 2019 10:00:00 +0000

A lot of entrepreneurs and marketers miss the point when it comes to influencer marketing …

It’s not about who has the most followers or who’s “verified.” It’s about who has the attention of the people you’re trying to reach.

The truth is, many micro-influencers with 1,000 - 4000 followers will produce better business results for a company than a verified account with 300,000 followers because they have more “depth.”

I talk more about this and other strategies small businesses can use to grow sales in 2019 :

1. Charge more for your time

2. Understand the impact of Micro Influencers

3. Balance listening to the market & holding your conviction

$1.80 Strategy for LinkedIn

Wed, 06 Mar 2019 10:00:00 +0000

This podcast is from a Q&A I did with business owners, many of whom are selling to other businesses. I talk about how the $1.80 Instagram strategy can apply to LinkedIn, how the platform has changed over the past few years, and more.

How Practicality Leads To Happiness

Sun, 03 Mar 2019 12:00:00 +0000

A lot of people are in jobs they don’t like because they tie themselves down with expenses that don’t actually make them happy.

It’s an issue for so many … the truth is, a lot of people would rather “look the part” and posture to their friends like they’re building a business instead of doing “unsexy” things that’ll make them money and bring them closer to leaving jobs they don’t like.

0:25 - If you work somewhere but want your own business

1:09 - Don’t buy dumb shit

2:22 - Practicality = happiness

4:40 - Why are you living your life based on other people’s opinions?

7:52 - This is the greatest time to be a human being

9:59 - Having empathy > hawking your brand

My Definition of Giving

Sat, 02 Mar 2019 12:00:00 +0000

Loved this conversation with Joshua Coombes around how I think about Giving in a 2019 world, especially in the non-profit world.

I wrote Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook to explain this side of marketing, because most people that are offering to give, are really trying to take and most are not even aware of the vulnerability of their behavior.

Tasting Cat Wine and Clamdy Canes

Sun, 24 Feb 2019 13:00:00 +0000

A lot of people don’t know this about me, but almost nothing makes me squeamish.

In this podcast, I sit down with Mark Cersosimo and answer some fun questions about whether I’d buy the Jets today (if that meant wearing Jordans every day for the rest of my life), whether I prefer toilet paper “over” or “under”, how many pigeons I think I could carry, and more.

And I do it while eating some really weird food and drinking “cat wine.”

This interview shows a different side of me that many of you may not have seen.

16 Minutes of Discussing The Future of Hip Hop: Meeting With Dreezy

Sat, 23 Feb 2019 13:00:00 +0000

The music industry isn’t what it used to be.

Years ago, you had to impress a handful of executives and pray that they liked your music — and if they didn’t, your career would never launch.

Now, you’ve got all these artists getting popular off of Soundcloud, Spotify, YouTube, and creating content on social media.

In this podcast, I talk with Dreezy — a rapper I really believe in — about the future of hip hop, and why I’m hanging out with rap artists as a CEO.

Interns Become CEOs All the Time: Meeting "Freeway" Rick Ross | DailyVee 535

Lots of little clips from different meetings and events in today’s podcast … You’ll hear what went down at our little influencer meet up at Made in New York Pizza (where I’m an investor).

I also met with a young kid who needed to “get his mind rewired” — I talked to him about overcoming the same pressures that so many young people face with “figuring out” their lives.

The podcast starts off with my meeting with “Freeway” Rick Ross — a former drug dealer who’s now helping at-risk youth and women’s empowerment initiatives.

All fascinating conversations — especially the part where I talk to Rick Ross about entrepreneurship.

How to Win by Playing the Game in "Reverse"

Wed, 20 Feb 2019 10:00:00 +0000

The reason I win so much is that I play the game in “reverse” of everyone else.

Everyone else is doing the same thing — posting the same type of pictures on Instagram, getting the same degrees from the same colleges, or running the same type of Ads — and wondering why they’re not disproportionately winning.

I expand on this concept more in this Q&A I did with fans at the GaryVee x VaynerSports meet and greet in Atlanta.

Tons of value in this one - especially if you’re looking to level up your personal brand or career.

How to Do Real Estate Marketing in 2019 | First in Line Q&A

Sat, 02 Feb 2019 10:00:00 +0000

There’s a reason why real estate gets hit the hardest during a recession: Everyone is focused on short term sales over brand.

In this Q&A, I answer a lot of questions from real estate agents at Agent2021 about how to leverage social media to sell real estate in 2019!

The Truth Behind The Definition Of "Hustle"

Tue, 08 Jan 2019 10:00:00 +0000

So much of what people think I say about "hustle" is taken out of context or perspective. It's not about how much sleep you're not getting or how much "time" you're putting in. It's the quality of the work, whether you're really putting enough quality time into what you're building and not just trying to "flaunt"

Why Direct Mail Marketing Is Far From Dead | Empathy Wines Barter Meeting

Sun, 06 Jan 2019 10:00:00 +0000

People always say they think it is funny that me being the “digital guy” writes books. It’s not because I like to read, it’s because other people like to read and want to read my content in book form.

5 Reminders That Accountability Leads To Happiness

Sat, 15 Dec 2018 10:00:00 +0000

It blows me away that people don’t realize that complaining about someone is actually giving them mental leverage over you.

As I reflect on it, the reason I don’t complain is probably more out of competitiveness than anything else — I just don’t want to give you the satisfaction that you have any say in how my life is going to play out. No one has say -- not my teachers, not the current state of political correctness, nothing.

This isn’t coming from a negative place, or wanting to secretly hurt other people that have hurt me. It’s about coming from a place of confidence and control.

How to Figure Out Your Life After Graduating College

Mon, 10 Dec 2018 10:00:00 +0000

I genuinely believe that the world is giving the “wrong” information to 20-somethings. This is not the time to go “safe” and “practical.” This is the time to be massively risk oriented. It’s time to go live in Bali for a year, or try to become Beyonce, or live with 8 roommates in a studio apartment hustling towards your passion. I have empathy for things like student debt … but this is the time to make the high risk moves around the things that’ll make you the happiest, even if you have to work more (or take a night shift job while you focus on your passion during the day). My advice for college grads who are trying to figure it out: Either work for someone who you want to become, or go all in on your own craft.

Discussing the Next Recession With Jim Jones

Tue, 04 Dec 2018 10:00:00 +0000

If you asked me whether I’m more scared for kids growing up in the projects or trust fund babes? I’d say trust fund babies. Hands down. Kids growing up with struggle know how to grind and deal with adversity. But when you’ve had everything handed to you your whole life, you get soft … and it’s harder to deal with things like economic meltdowns or the problems that come with entrepreneurship. Wish more people understood that the biggest privilege you could have is mental privilege … people with money don’t always have it made!!

Where TRASH TALK Started | #AskGaryVee 272 with T-PAIN

Sun, 11 Nov 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This may be the MOST FIRE episode of the AskGaryVee show we've ever had. Besides the call-in's, the dynamic between T-pain and I was on another planet. Hearing him talk about both his highs and lows in life this far is something I think we can all take something away from, knowing that being on the top is just as possible as being on the bottom. We took calls from some hugely energetic fans, including a former dancer for T-pain, and ended up on one of the best calls yet, a entrepreneurial house cleaner from the midwest. You're not going to want to miss this AskGaryVee episode, because it may just be the best yet !!

7 Reasons You Need To Stop Caring What Others Think

Mon, 15 Oct 2018 09:00:00 +0000

To have a winner’s mentality, you have to stop caring what other people think. You’ve gotta get quiet in your own head.

So many people make big life decisions based on other people’s opinions. You care so much about what your mom, dad, brother, or friends think that you’re allowing them to dictate your actions in life.

At the core of it, the barriers so many people have aren’t really about “money” or “time.” They’re about opinions.

It’s the biggest reason so many people are unhappy right now. Because they value someone else’s opinion more than their own.

Once you get past that, life can get real good.

Here’s how you can get quiet in your own head:

What You Don't Hear About Entrepreneurship | A RANT

Sun, 14 Oct 2018 09:00:00 +0000

It's not all private jets & fancy parties & stacks of dollars - being an entrepreneur is hard, it's lonely and it takes time, hard work, energy and sacrifice - and there's a lot of things that you don't hear. Entrepreneurship is cool right now, a bubble and I really hope that in 10 years everyone who thought they could build the business they wanted is gonna end up in the dust. <3

Don't Be Afraid To Be Multidimensional

Wed, 10 Oct 2018 09:00:00 +0000

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make are they think they're pigeon holed into sticking to the one thing they've been doing - but a bit part of figuring out what your thing is, is tasting more than one thing and changing up what you're doing, if you're not happy with it.

Interview For DOPE Magazine

Sat, 06 Oct 2018 09:00:00 +0000

The cannabis industry has massive potential because, as I see it, it's primarily build up of young people and entrepreneurs. Frankly, I'd go as far to as that the cannabis industry is going to make a huge impact in the marketing field because of the upfront restrictions they will face regarding being unable to use Facebook and Instagram ads.

Why Aren't You Doing What You're Passionate About? | A Fire Keynote in DC

Tue, 02 Oct 2018 09:00:00 +0000

FIRED UP for this keynote I did in the DC area, really honing in on why the internet is such a game changer for modern businesses & entrepreneurship - expanding into what it's like being an entrepreneur during the time that entrepreneurship got cool (now) and how and why it's changed so much over the last 40 years. I also talk directly to the people that think they can't make $100,000 a year, and why I really believe it's so easy now to accomplish this goal.

The Advice Successful People Won't Give You

Mon, 01 Oct 2018 09:00:00 +0000

The successful mindset of an entrepreneur comes down to not complaining or dwelling. I'm hearing so many people speak about their massive ambitions but simultaneously talk about how they don't work on the weekends or that they go home everyday at 6:00 PM, and then they have the audacity to complain that the results aren't coming fast enough. You NEED to be patient and understand that the only reason you want the results to come quickly is because you're trying to cover an insecurity and prove it to someone... Please, stay in your own head and put in the work. You can't sit down on the couch, think about a million dollars, and then expect to find a million dollars in your bank account. It just doesn't work like that... you have to put in the work.

The Hard Truth About Managing People | A Quick Take

Sun, 30 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

I really wanted to share this talk about trusting employees, giving them trust and then learning how they operate from there rather than the traditional "trust is earned" stance. Also, for anyone that is confused, because I'm a very alpha character and I believe that the new "man" is growing in emotional intelligence and "soft skills". Kindness, empathy, and gratitude, which were once considered "soft" are now becoming cool.

My Thoughts Around Work/Life Balance & Sleep | #GaryVeeMashup

Sat, 29 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

This is a really fire mashup revolving around balancing your life & sleep that a lot of you need to hear ... hustling doesn't necessarily mean that you're working 22 hours a day without sleeping - I think sleep is one of the most important things - it matters what you're doing doing those 16 hours that you're awake. I also talk about how I think about "work/life" balance and my methods for keeping what I see as balance.

#AskGaryVee 290 | Scott Belsky

Fri, 28 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Inside the Meeting: Consulting a Startup Retail Business

Thu, 27 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

I sit down and talk with The Eighth, a fairly new retail business attacking the white space they saw in the men's luxury underwear market. We discuss their early days in researching and identifying the market, luxury branding, SEM and SEO approaches, influencer marketing, content creation and the importance of documenting versus creating. For the listeners that have asked in the past, this is some really good insight into how I approach introductory business meetings, evaluate the viability of new businesses, and suggest marketing strategies. Thanks for listening, excited to hear your thoughts and learnings from this one.

Sitting Down With David Meltzer To Crush Making Instagram & Facebook Content

Sat, 22 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

If your social media strategy on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and/or LinkedIn is focusing on macro/pillar content like a vlog, you're making a huge mistake. The micro content (small highlight clips) that is created from the pillar content is so much more impactful on social.

The Importance & Definition Of "Speed"

Mon, 17 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Speed... is one of the big things that I push as an incredibly important factor when running a business & pushing out content - taking forever for something to be perfected, especially when it's a piece of social content ... it's more important to be timely than it is to "perfect" something, and this mashup expands on this ideal <3

Chain XChange Fireside Chat

Mon, 10 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Artificial intelligence (AI), artificial general intelligence (AGI), and artificial super intelligence (ASI) are obviously really hot topics right now, but I think there’s a big lack of clarity in the system... I usually hear people mention that AI is going to take our jobs or that it will destroy our economy and force us to use a Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a result, when in actuality, I think it’s going to be a tool that will allow us to become faster and focus on more important tasks. In the same way that people thought tractors would get rid of the jobs of farmers, we actually just got faster and they allowed us to achieve more.

Your Problems Don't Matter, Here's Why | Talk at the Precious Dreams Foundation

Sat, 08 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Look, the internet has created vast amounts of opportunity, no matter what your foundation is... Frankly, I'm of the mindset that if you have faced adversity that you're actually better off than people who haven't faced adversity because you're hungry and willing to put in the work to get yours.

Humbled that I was given the opportunity to give this talk at the Precious Dreams Foundation - let me know what your thoughts on this podcast on twitter @GaryVee ;)

A FIRE Q&A Conversation at LinkedIn #TBT | 2016

Thu, 06 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

This throwback is a really, really big one that I'm super pumped to resurface today - I gave a fireside Q&A back in 2016 for LinkedIn, and had them ask me a ton of live questions - talking about the way I perceive myself, the reasons why some people feel pressured into entrepreneurship, or building a business when they should be focused more on being that number 17 guy at Facebook. I also go off on how and when I decide to go all in on a new platform that I think is going to blow up. This is a FIRE talk that I'd hate for you to miss <3 <3

5 Tips To Help Grow Your Business | Q&A In Singapore

Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

I hope this helps you learn how to grow a small business. Scaling your company and hiring your first employees can be a little tricky, but if you pay yourself as little as possibly and make hiring your top priority, it will pay itself off, you just have to understand that none of the good stuff will come fast.. you're not going to make a million dollars and chill on a yacht six months into starting your company. Have the mindset that it's going to take you the next 21 years. That's how you'll win.

Sat, 01 Sep 2018 09:00:00 +0000

This is a really important clip, expanding on why I think and act so far in the long game, rather than just focusing on short term wins. The long game is so so so much larger than the short & ends with legacy. I talk about why giving away music for free nets more exposure in the long game & how it can help you win. Great little clip here, hope u love <3

Mon, 27 Aug 2018 09:00:00 +0000

This is a super important keynote that I did recently in Singapore, really breaking down the importance of becoming a practitioner in the craft that you're trying to succeed in - so many people put down Facebook Ads, but have never once run an ad & seen results.

Really hope you get a massive amount of value out of this keynote.

A Fireside Chat with Jessica Alba

Sat, 25 Aug 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Really really really loved this sit down I had with Jessica Alba, in front of VaynerMedia NYC last year - I think this is a really really important talk for everyone who's waning on their dreams to listen to ... one of the most fascinating parts of this talk is when Jessica talks about how she almost didn't end up acting, but did end up going back to school. Super super good one, I hope u all enjoy <3

Please, please don't let so many of these amazing opportunities fly right by you. <3

A Note To My 50 Year Old Self

Sun, 12 Aug 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Just because you're "middle aged" doesn't mean you're down and out... Of all times, now is probably the most practical time to start that business that you've always wanted to start; the kids are probably out of the house (or close) and you have so much extra time on your hands. Please understand that you still have half of your life in front of you.

You have to do what you love and find happiness in your work and life. If you're working to get rich and retire or to buy a nice watch so that you can hide your insecurities, you will lose. Happiness is the ultimate goal. If you're not happy, the rest doesn't matter. This meeting with Xianlimm is super interesting, because I talk a lot about how I transitioned from building a business, to building my brand and then combining the two, and figuring out the balance that you need in your life.

The Human Pursuit Of Happiness

Sat, 28 Jul 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Even the cheer at the end is slow and muted, it’s very and I mean very hard to understand the concept of loving the journey over the trophy. - It’s almost impossible when you don’t have the things that you want to understand that the chase of those things if you pick the right path will end up tasting sweeter than the items you amass. - When you want 100k followers, when you chase 10k likes a post, you don’t realize how empty it can feel when you get there and more importantly you don’t even know why, they just seem like the right numbers. - My friends, please try to start the process of understanding happiness, understanding why you feel the way you do, what makes you insecure and want a fancy car or house, why when you go through your feed you feel FOMO please understand that doing things you love will lead to the things you want even when they don’t pay you what you THINK you need to get what you THINK you want.

Sun, 22 Jul 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Really really motivated by the idea that entitlement can absolutely hinder your ability to succeed.

There's some really, really great segments here that I think you'll love.

Wed, 27 Jun 2018 09:00:00 +0000

One Of My Most FIRE Keynotes | USC Biz School 2015

Thu, 21 Jun 2018 09:00:00 +0000

If you're new to my podcast, or my content in general, this is one piece that you 100 percent should not miss. It's one of my top performing pieces of content and an all time keynote that really resonates to this day. This one was interesting because I was speaking to an entrepreneurship class and I just don't think you can learn to be an entrepreneur which makes for an interesting dynamic ;) To be successful you need to be adapting but stay loyal to your strengths. If you’re a true entrepreneur you understand the importance of taking your idea and running with it — there's no time to waste. You never know what tomorrow will bring and timing is massively important. These lessons don’t stop, no matter what stage of your career you're in. Macro-patience vs. Micro-speed is everything. Don't dwell on your mistakes and just keep moving forward. Give this one a listen because you do not want to miss it.

I also double down on why being the number 13 person at Facebook instead of the number one is so valuable & really put into perspective why enjoying what you do is such a game changer.

An Interview with Innovation & Tech Today

Tue, 05 Jun 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Super super super hyped about this interview I did a few weeks back, chatting heavy starting with what my "typical day" looks like & really dialing in on the type of work that I do, mixing people & human interaction with emails. A lot of you are always asking what my thoughts are on blockchain technology and certain cryptocurrencies, what I think about the future of voice, etc... I think that this interview with Innovation & Tech Today will answer a lot of your questions and concerns in terms of how I see them. Most of you probably know that I don't like to talk about things that I don't really understand or know enough about, so if I don't go as in-depth as you were hoping for, it's because I'd rather talk about what I know and be authentic than make stuff up...

Listen To This Before You Turn 30 | Calling a Fan From Facebook

Sun, 03 Jun 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Obviously this was a loaded question/situation, but I really want to put emphasis on the fact that being 28 years old means that you still have 60 more years of execution. So many people think that 28 is a good time to start playing it safe by buying a house, getting married, and settling down, when in actuality, you have so much time! Don't look at other people to get bearings on where you are in your life. Everyone has their own clock.

Thu, 19 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

This completely fire keynote I spoke at back in 2012 helped me demonstrate how social media & marketing are developing in today's world, and it's really cool to see how businesses have followed along, having to keep up with things that I mentioned here to stay relevant.

Thu, 12 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Guys, this keynote is THE piece of viral content that changed my career, as the internet was becoming what it's become so far today. Every thing your do right now, your great, great, great grandchildren will be able to watch, and that's something to keep in mind constantly. I break down personal brand equity, and the necessity of not ignoring platforms to boost your influence. This is the one guys. An all-time talk. Hope you love it <3

Raw Audio: Dailyvee 435 | bad audio but GOOD emotions

Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Although the audio on this episode is a little blown out, there's some really, REALLY important information here for young entrepreneurs that you should really dig into, and I show my own version of this advice for myself talking to my trainer Jordan.

A Meeting With Yung Bans

Tue, 10 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Really enjoyed my meeting with Yung Bans where he told me that kids were getting suspended from school for playing his songs over the school intercom! Super hyped to see that he's already working on hacking attention and culture to set up a platform for himself to distribute his music.

Monday Motivation: Audit Your Inner Circle

Mon, 09 Apr 2018 15:23:59 +0000

It's nothing but a truth that once you start hanging out around people that are positive, confident and yearning for success that it'll affect you by association, just like if you're hanging out around people that complain all the time, you'll start falling into that hole. This mashup is about auditing your life, your circle and your relationships with people close to you to decide how adjusting those relationships can influence your life. Hope this one hits home for you <3

You're Not Lost, Stop Complaining | 3 FIRE Rants For Your Sunday

Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

These three original shorts my team put together put forward two pillars that I talk about a lot, and love to expand on. When you're just starting out, especially when you're young, tasting a lot of things and trying different careers, foods, lifestyles, everything is key to bringing out what you're going to excel at and shape into. I don't understand how you can complain while being a human on earth. So many of you just lack perspective. You've already won. You won the universe's lottery and managed to get lucky enough to live the life that you have right now. One life, act like it.

A Business Meeting with Beau Casper Smart

Sat, 07 Apr 2018 16:00:00 +0000

Loved meeting with Beau, a top notch dancer, actor and all around good dude. We sat down and chopped it up heavy around content -why you should repost, and how it benefits both you and the person you're posting for, why Will Smith is winning the content game right now and a bunch more. All in all, a great meeting I know you'll enjoy <3

A Meeting With Jake Paul

Fri, 06 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Awesome to have Jake Paul stop by my office and talk about where he's planning on taking Team 10, how he may use Twitch in the future, and what he can be doing to be tunnel visioned on growing his audience.

Thursday Throwback: The Future of Social Media in 2009 on CNN

Thu, 05 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Hope you enjoy this throwback to an interview on CNN back in 2009. It's really fun to go back and compare my thoughts and ideas back then and see how accurate they are today, as you can tell this social media thing really panned out ;)

Advice For Anyone Struggling With Expectations Of Themselves

Wed, 04 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Waiting until you're 25 to assess your life and try to figure yourself out is never a bad strategy. In some cases, many of you may have seen my "close your eyes until you're 29" rant, which essentially has the same underlying topic as this. Trust the process, put your head down and go for it. <3

A Business Meeting With Nicky Jam

Tue, 03 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Great to meet up with latin music star Nicky Jam to chop it up around staying true to your roots, building deals with brands - who and why you should, and diving into his background, his move to Colombia, his past struggles and more. This was a great chat - hope you enjoy <3

Hit up Nicky Jam on IG right here:

A Keynote: Business Squared Sydney, AUS

Mon, 02 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

The few days that I had to jam in Australia gave me the opportunity to give some of the most powerful keynotes - 3 in two days - I've given. This keynote was focused around attention, and started off really pulling apart the reasons we focus on branding, and the importance of it. We then transition into talking about the importance of social media & smartphones in today's marketing world. Really important points in this one - hope you love it <3 Hit me up on Twitter and let me know your thoughts.

A Rant: What Are You Looking For?

Sun, 01 Apr 2018 09:00:00 +0000

I'm making this challenge for one person in the hopes that it will help them look at things differently and seek out positivity instead of negativity...

A Mashup: My Thoughts On Mentorship

Sat, 31 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

This is a topic I don't always talk a whole lot about, but when I do, there's a consistent theme to it. I've never had one, but that doesn't mean I don't encourage you to seek one out. Everyone has a different take on whether they can stay inside their own head or need guidance from others.

A Keynote: Haste And Hustle Toronto 2018

Fri, 30 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Like last year's Haste & Hustle event, I was completely fired up for this talk in Toronto. I dove into my beliefs on why some young entrepreneurs are in over their head before they even start, not realizing how lonely it can be - there's nobody you else you can blame above you, no boss, no teacher, no parents... I also touch on the things you need to do if you're building a business, hint, get familiar with the marketing tools of today. Total fire here, you're going to love this one ;)

A Business Meeting: The Origins of Lyrical Lemonade

Thu, 29 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Super cool to get the opportunity to sit down with my man Cole Bennett and talk about his music promotion business, Lyrical Lemonade. I think that a lot of you can get some value out of this conversation with respect to how Cole and his team plan on making a transition within the brand into the beverage industry...

A Fireside Chat At SXSW With Bonin Bough and Michael Loeb

Wed, 28 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

LOVED this panel I got to speak on with my good friend Bonin Bough and Michael Loeb. We speak on business operations and growth, ideas around parenting, and why I don't let anyone else tell me how to parent my kids, and hone in on the issues with the entrepreneurship boom today - there's lots of companies, but not a lot of them are making money. LOTS of good chat here, hope you love it <3

A Live Q&A At The K-Swiss London Popup

Tue, 27 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

I absolutely loved getting to spend time in London and meet with a ton of my fans at the Crushing It! x K-Swiss Pop Up shop. I really hope that you guys can find some value in this episode, especially in the last conversation I had when leaving the Pop Up.

Surprising A Fan On Twitter With A Call

Mon, 26 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Super happy that I got to surprise a fan from Twitter! Calling fans in general is always a really good way to keep your community engaged and in-tune with whatever it is that you're doing. One of the main points that I really want to hit on again from this episode was the idea of working for free to build a reputation and credibility... If you don't have a degree or the experience that other people do have, you should be working for free for 5-10 clients and crush it for them so that you can build up a strong reputation moving forward.

A Keynote: Business Squared in Brisbane, Australia

Sun, 25 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Straight fire in this keynote I gave in Brisbane, Australia a few months ago - I really hone in on those who are squandering getting their business really up and going with social media, and focus on the importance of really focusing on what you're good at within that realm - if you're not great on camera, maybe you're great on audio. But the Q&A section is where the real fire comes out, there's a number of questions from the audience that involve things that I don't usually touch on. Hope u enjoy ;)

A Mashup: No Excuses

Sat, 24 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

If you're unhappy, there's no excuses for sitting around and complaining that the world's not fair to you, or that you had a shitty upbringing or any other "excuses" that are preventing you from doing your thing. I'm empathetic to those issues from your past, but right now is the time to drop those and leave them where they were, and focus on what's in front of you. <3

An Interview on BBC Radio 1Xtra

Fri, 23 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Loved chopping it up with Reece Parkinson on BBC Radio 1Xtra last week diving deep into my thoughts around Will Smith's newly founded presence basketball and football/soccer and why I want to dominate that industry and Snapchat's new update and redesign. Really really really great content here - I focus real heavily on my happiness and why and how I don't let others' opinions about myself affect my own happiness and well being. <3

A Keynote at IMG EXPO 2018 in New Orleans

Wed, 21 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

This keynote focused around an audience of contractors was completely on fire when it came to the Q&A section. It kicks off with a massive focus on the fact that the internet and social media aren't ruining your life, they're not ruining our world- they're exposing who we really are. I talk about the way I identify upcoming trends & nuances in the world, not necessarily always by trial and error. Some great topics & tactics in this keynote, hope you enjoy <3

An Interview On The Brink Of Midnight Podcast

Tue, 20 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

COMPLETE FIRE here on The Brink of Midnight Podcast. Great chatting about how my experiences being a D and F student with negative reinforcement in school shaped my entrepreneurial vision today - and why that was a huge driver in my life, and I tell a story about how overpaying for a baseball card table at age 13 was a major transformative moment in my life. There's a TON here that I think a lot haven't heard- would love if you listened <3

A Sunday Rant: Close Your Eyes Until You're 29

Sun, 18 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Listen up - this is a MASSIVELY important topic that I touch on often. You have time. You're young. What the fuck are you in such a rush for? I see so many young people that are either just out of high school, in college, or just out of college that are spending so much time and energy evaluating their lives and seeing where they stand in comparison to the people around them; stop judging yourselves! Close your eyes until you're 29 and stop dwelling on the past. Be patient and be self-aware, but don't stress if you haven't "made it" while you're still in your 20s... You have so much time.

Hit me up on Twitter and let me know your thoughts.

A Mashup: Why TWITCH Is Massively Important

Sat, 17 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

As many of you probably saw, there was a huge shift and growth in Twitch's culture this week, and my predictions and thoughts are coming true that I've been saying for years ;)

A Fireside Chat at Baron Davis' All Star Weekend

Fri, 16 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

The internet changed everything... There are no more middlemen and you don't have to get the permission from some old white dude to do whatever it is that you need to do. Instead of coming up with dumb excuses as to why you can't.. look at all the reasons why you can. Hope u all enjoy this fireside chat I did at Baron Davis' Allstar weekend in LA. <3

An Interview On Entrepreneur's The Playbook with Dave Meltzer

Wed, 14 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Loved loved loved being a guest on Dave Meltzer's podcast, The Playbook. We get straight into it, talking about my "inner workings" and more than just what I put out. I go into what I mean when I talk about how I have no expectations from others, so nobody can every let me down, and really expand on why I care more about my legacy than what I'm thought of this second - comparing to Christopher Columbus. This was an all-time interview, that I'd love if you took a listen to <3

An Interview On The Tom Ferry Show at Agent 2021

Tue, 13 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Totally fired up about being a guest on Tom's show at Agent2021 recent - we chopped it up talking about much more than just real estate, diving into what it's like touching on big, big brands that are pushing to stay relevant in today's social world - and how those brands are doing it. Another big topic we touch on is figuring out what kind of content creation and distribution you're good at - you may hate being on video but be an excellent podcaster, which is why you should be going all - in on your strengths. Some really, really good stuff here that I think you'd love <3

An Interview On The Bigger Pockets Podcast

Mon, 12 Mar 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Straight fire out of this interview from my friends over at BiggerPockets, talking about emotion in losing and how that's changed for me over the years (and how it fires me up to push harder), why I recommend buying filters & frames geotargeted towards college campuses for hiring interns & employees and finding deals through social media. Great great interview here - hope u enjoy !!

A Rant: Don't Stay In A Job Just To "Help Your Resume"

Sun, 11 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This is an important topic that I don't think many people realize when they're unhappy at a job, especially right as you're stepped into a new role. If you're unhappy, don't just stay because of how you think it looks on paper. There's no sense in pushing through misery just to get another line in your resume - do what makes you happy.

A Mashup: Finding Your Motivation & Passion

Sat, 10 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

If you don't love what you're doing, change it. It's not all about the money & fame - but if you're spending every single day unhappy because you hate your job, then you need to start turning that around.

Thu, 08 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This interview originally appeared on Cheddar's "The Point" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey5nhBUNgko&=

Really interesting points of view here- hope u enjoy !!

A Keynote: Tampa Startup Week

Wed, 07 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Complete fire coming out of this keynote at Tampa Startup Week. I dive deep into the upcoming trend of entrepreneurship, and how my ambition with my message isn't necessarily to encourage every single person to go out there and start a business, but to go out there and do what you want to do. If you want to be a number 13 at a company you admire, it doesn't mean you need to build a company and be it's number 1 first, but if that's your ambition then that's great. Some serious Q&A in this one too - make sure you check it out. <3

An Interview On The Premium Pete Podcast

Tue, 06 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Loved chopping it up with my man Premium Pete, about growing up in New York City, the massive change in parenting and how where you grow up influences who you are. We dive deep into how and why I wanted to be cool with so many people throughout school by kindness, driven by the desire to sell and also chat about balancing work & private live. This was an all-time interview, and I'd love if you'd check it out.

Hit up Premium Pete here:

An Interview On the Breaking Into Startups Podcast

Mon, 05 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Fiiiiiiire podcast incoming - chopping it up with these guys brought out some really important points that need to be brought out. The standards of school, parenting, success and business are changing and if you want to succeed, you've gotta get on board to realize what's going on. As everyone wants to become an entrepreneur, it's important to realize that not everybody's fit to be one - maybe you'd be great as a number 13, instead of a number 1 or 2. SO so so many good topics here- you've gotta check it out <3

A Rant: How To Actually Make Money For Free

Sun, 04 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This is EXACTLY how you can make money for free! This video will literally change your life. The only thing that stops people from winning is education and the work ethic. I will no longer pander to the "I don't have money" excuse that so many of you use. It's over. Here's why! <3

A Mashup: Advice To Millennials

Sat, 03 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This advice is aimed heavily at the millennials, the future business leaders of tomorrow, and I hope it can inspire a few of you to get fired up this Saturday.

A Business Meeting With Rapper Ralo

Fri, 02 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Super happy that I got to sit down with Ralo and have a quick meeting on coming up in the rap game and creating opportunity for yourself. Was great expanding with him on why I put out my best content for free, at such a large scale - because I know that 90 percent of you aren't going to do anything about it. ;)

#AskGaryVee 278 | How to Survive Going "All In" & Choosing Retirement Over Passion

Thu, 01 Mar 2018 10:00:00 +0000

If you're really trying to figure out how to go all in on your passion, this call-in #AskGaryVee is one you really, really can't miss. The two topics that the callers and I go heavily in-depth on are related to following a passion, but split off to whether you should be taking your parents opinion on your life, and how you need to think about taking a leap when there are kids involved. Deep, deep calls, and I'd really love if you'd hear them out <3

An Interview at Tampa Startup Week

Wed, 28 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Loved this quick chat before my big talk at Tampa Startup Week, defining and going into my personal brand, it's reasons and how it came to be. We also touch on selling what you believe in, and it such an important factor in successful entrepreneurship.

A Chat With Young Entrepreneurs in Tampa About Success, Patience & Value

Tue, 27 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This was a really cool clip from a pre-show event in Tampa where I talked to a group of young entrepreneurs about take the time to make sure that you're living by your own standards and not adhering to anyone else's idea of what your life should be. If you're chasing something solely because "society" wants you to, you have to stop and evaluate what you're doing to get to that place. Some really important lessons here that I think you should hear!

An Interview On The Front Row Entrepreneur's Podcast with Jen Lehner

Mon, 26 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Loved being on Jen Lehner's podcast - she's someone who reached out to me after hearing me on James Altucher's podcast, and started up her own podcast which she talks about the benefits about. We go into the value of kindness, and emotion when you're building a business & living the life of an entrepreneur. There is nothing more Niche than being the human being. Your Niche is being you. Over the past few days I have been emphasizing on Kindness as I believe that this is the only reason why things are working out for me the way they are. Hope you enjoy <3

A Rant: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Sun, 25 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This rant is for everybody that's being held down by other people and not taking control of their own life and destiny. When is it enough? When do you finally realize that this is your life and that you need to take control? When do you draw the line and say "enough"?!

A Mashup: 5 Reasons Positivity Is The Ultimate Key

Sat, 24 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Positivity. It's one of the single most powerful tools that you have to overcome any negativity in your life. If you're spitting positivity and looking at that cup half full, you are in such a better place than those losers that are pushing you down, spitting negativity.

A Meeting With Brooklyn Nets Player Nik Stauskas

Thu, 22 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Super awesome to get the opportunity to sit down with Nik Stauskas for this meeting. For those of you that don't know, Nik is a basketball player in the NBA and was also on the fourth episode of #podSessions. I think that this meeting helps clarify my definitions of patience and eating dirt for any of you that have been a little confused about what I'm trying to get at...

Check out my man Nik here: https://www.instagram.com/nikstauskas11/ https://twitter.com/nstauskas11

An Interview With Jay Shetty

Wed, 21 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Loved chopping it up with my man Jay Shetty, chatting about gratitude, empathy, self awareness and positivity and how the combination of all these things enable leverage in different scenarios. We dive in about how you need to learn to let things go, and not allow other peoples' negativity to push you down, even if someone's saying "you're ugly, you suck" on Instagram. The comments here are straight from the heart - hope you love it <3

You can find my man Jay over on Instagram at @JayShetty

A Live Q&A In an IHOP In Minneapolis

Tue, 20 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

There are a few key points that I really try to hit on during this Q&A session at iHop... I think that the college debt crisis is just around the corner, yet people that are already in debt are taking out loans to buy dumb shit to hide their insecurities. I really think that the NBA has a shot of going out of business as a result of players having all of the leverage and wanting to cut out the middleman. And lastly, once people realize how insane the opportunity is to work for someone like myself, like Mark Cuban, like Tim Ferriss, or like Jeff Bezos, people will actually pay to work for them because of what it does for their careers...

A Hip Hop Meeting With Tierra Whack

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

I really think that Tierra Whack has a solid shot of being a massive artist in this space. She has something that I don't see in many other artists, so I just think that this is going to really work out for her... Let me know what you guys thought the most insightful part of this meeting was! This meeting was easily one of the most powerful meetings I've had with a booming hip hop artist.

If you're truly doing what you love, it won't feel like you're actually working... Even though I talk a lot about hard work and hustle, I still take some time off on the weekends to spend with my family, watch Jets games, and rest. Just because I put so much emphasis on working hard doesn't mean that I'm remotely trying to say that you shouldn't be sleeping or not resting... I'm trying to say that you should be using the time that you have while awake wisely and productively.

A Business Meeting With Lions Linebacker Brandon Copeland

Fri, 16 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This meeting I had with Detroit Lions Linebacker Brandon Copeland showed off some great macro-focused points that I like to get across to athletes. We talk about leveraging the name of the brand that you play for to help get ahead in business, personal branding and any other entrepreneurial endeavors you may be chasing. Utilizing a brand that gives you leverage is a massive upside that once you start to realize how it works and how to use it, you'll win. <3

Tue, 13 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Hanging out with the crew at Hot 97's Ebro In the Morning was a BLAST.

A Keynote at Agent 2021

Sun, 11 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

I was fired up for this opening keynote that I gave at VaynerExperience's first major event, Agent2021 geared at the emerging and changing digital platforms that we as marketers and strategists have to adapt to. A big point that I try and get across here, is that content marketing is still the key point that you should be focusing on- especially if you fall into either the Auto sales, insurance sales, real estate or travel demographics that this conference was focused around - legacy industries that must change to meet new platforms. Hope you all enjoy this one <3

Sat, 10 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

If you're a big fan of my content, you know right off the bat that my views on college are mainly skewed towards life skills & personal skills, rather than actually gaining important knowledge, ESPECIALLY if you're working towards being an entrepreneur. Here, I'm joined by a few friends to help answer the really important question of "should I go to college", and what kinds of alternatives there are to attending higher education. There's some really good stuff in here if you're stuck in that spot - hope you enjoy <3

TOTAL FIRE in this keynote I did in San Francisco at Draper University last week. Loved diving into this session focused on true entrepreneurship and tactics to grow both personal and professional brands, and finding your long tail goal within all of that. This era that we're in is truly amazing, because you can actually do what you really want to do - whether it's create a business or a personal brand with, because of the invention of the internet.

Agent2021 may have gone, but the chats, keynotes and Q&A's here were COMPLETE fire. I loved getting together with my man Ryan Serhant for a fireside chat to sit down and talk sales, personal branding and getting into the real estate game. Loved diving in to Ryan's background and origin story, and talking about our views on the "sales" game, something that we're both in coming from a client services realm, as well as the real estate game. Some serious fire towards the end of this chat too - comparing real estate to the sports agent game, and a ton more. This is an absolutely fire chat guys, I hope you enjoy <3

Sun, 04 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This was a really cool interview I did a little while back which focused pretty heavily on becoming an influencer & starting in the video space when it first debuted. I chat about being one of the first on YouTube, and why I made the choice at the time to move to Viddler (and then back to YouTube), and chop it up about why subscriber dedication is much more important than a subscriber number (width vs depth). This is a great interview for anyone playing the video game and playing with growth on YouTube. Hope you give it a listen ;)

Sat, 03 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

If you've consumed any of my content, you know that I'm extremely hot on voice, and podcasting.

Here's some content demonstrating my love for the platform ;)

This one goes deep with legendary Bobbi Brown on how she built a cosmetics empire, Anna Victoria on her mission to bring more "body love" ;) and the co-founders of BALR. on how they built a thriving lifestyle business off the back of a media account with 16M followers.

We talk tennis, following hashtags, documenting the real* you, and being smart on Snapchat! This one has it all. For those of you that don't know, #PodSessions is really the resurgence of my early silicon valley tech days where I would hang out with a lot of the web 2.0 investors and founders and talk through the state of the union in startups, business, media and more which has led me to recreate that energy though my podcast on The GaryVee Audio Experience. I hope u enjoy!

Thu, 01 Feb 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This chat that I did with my good friend Casey Neistat has to be one of the best fireside style interviews ever. We go deep in this, and talk about why we both will leave money on the table to make sure we're staying true to ourselves & who we are, and how both Casey and I are all in on "attention" as a whole - we both understand that in a social first world, that's easily one of the most important things to focus on. We also chat about why technology and digital communication are positive, not negatives - because they allow such open messaging between anybody. This was a great one, and I'd love if you heard it. ;)

One of the best meetings I've ever had with a Rapper- loved chopping it up with Gunna, and I love what this guy is saying and how he's one of the most genuine lyricists in the game. He's up and coming, so we talk a ton about how the spot he's in right now is the toughest he's going to be in for a while. This is where the decisions count, and where the choices really really matter- because they affect the path he'll go down so heavily. This was a great meeting, hope you all enjoy !!

A Business Meeting with Mentalist Lior Suchard

Sun, 28 Jan 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Loved meeting with Mentalist Lior Suchard to chat illusions, mindfulness and the power of making decisions for yourself. I don't think that this is "magic", I just think that it's practical.

Fri, 26 Jan 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Make sure you're doing what you're doing for the right reason. So many of you are creating content, or building a personal brand to try and make a quick dollar, and that's OKAY, as long as it's what YOU want. My goal is to build a legacy, which is why I give all my content away for free- it helps to build that trust and personal value that lands me where I want to be. This is a good one guys, hope you take it to heart - there's a LOT of meaning to this rant <3

A Fireside Chat With Samsung NEXT at CES 2017

Thu, 25 Jan 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This fireside chat that I did with Samsung NEXT at CES dove hard into emerging tech, and how to plan 4 to 6 years out to best be able to take advantage of the next big thing. This is something massively important, especially in the advertising and content industry where you want to be able to catch EVERY single eyeball that's relevant,you can to distribute your message, content, or idea. Loved chopping it up about how technology isn't hindering our culture, rather it's exposing who we actually are- something massively important to understand <3

A Rant: Why You Should Take Your Health Seriously As An Entrepreneur

Wed, 24 Jan 2018 10:00:00 +0000

This rant brings out a thought that I learned a little bit later in life - take care of yourself & your physical health. If you're not staying healthy, you're not going to be in peak mental condition either which hinders results. That's why I made the commitment to a full time trainer, to keep me accountable for my own actions & fitness. Hope you guys take this one to heart :)

Mon, 22 Jan 2018 10:00:00 +0000

LOVED chopping it up with my man Charlemagne as always, getting down into culture & growing up the way we did. We get deep into how our upbringings and interest in culture shaped our success & drive to become who we are today, while always having the humility to step up and get your hands dirty no matter how successful you may be. That's a huge point that I don't think a lot of people get- that you have to love the grind and the process. Hope you all love this one <3

The Difference Between A Winning & Losing Mindset

Wed, 17 Jan 2018 10:00:00 +0000

I'm so hyped up by this fan made film that the Mulligan Brothers created. It knocks out of the park my ideas on what makes a person a true winner, and the mindset that sets one up for an advantage. Combined with the commentary from my team in the beginning, this is a powerful piece of content that I think everybody needs to hear. It comes from an episode of Impact Theory, made by my man Tom Bilyeu that I was - and it got DEEP. If you haven't watched or heard the entire episode, you should definitely check that out too.

Are you enjoying these raw, audio versions of some of my favorite dailyvee episodes? There's a lot of meat in here, including my a rant & chat with a #60secclub winner that gets deep & insightful. A big takeaway that I expand on for this episode, is to follow your heart when you feel you're losing focus on the end goal. Some real gems in here, hope it gets you fired up for today ;)

A Business Meeting: Why Pinterest And Facebook Are Important For Your Business

Tue, 02 Jan 2018 10:00:00 +0000

Loved this meeting I had with these two guys from Connecticut. We dive really, really deep into a bunch of topics, including the nature of Pinterest, and how important it is depending on your business's target demographic. If you're aiming towards people looking to have a baby shower, you should be focusing a massive amount of time and dedication towards Pinterest, just like you shouldn't be using Snapchat if your demo is a 54 year old banker. Know your demo, know where they live and thrive in that area. That's the key ;)

A Rant: I'm Acting That Way

Fri, 29 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This rant comes from a seriously deep place, where I talk about why I am the way I am, in personality, positivity and self awareness. Looking at different things in a positive mindset will never make a situation worse, because you're not blinded by the negativity. Some people this doesn't come natural to, and they have to work to gain a positive perspective and I'm so incredibly grateful to be born the way I was, and raised this way so that my perspective can always take the high road. Hope you are all having a happy holiday. Enjoy this one <3

A Keynote: Hjärntillskott Stockholm Executive Days Sweden 2017

Thu, 28 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This keynote is complete fire, where I focus heavily on business strategies and tactics starting out with exactly why you need to not pass up on social media if you want your business to succeed. I dive into why the most successful brands of our time are they way they are, utilizing the platforms that warranted the most attention at the time to get ahead of their competition. This is one you 100 percent should not miss. Let me know your thoughts <3

A Rant: Eating Dirt & Being A Number 2 in A Company

Wed, 27 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Love love love this little rant that came off the dome while chatting with Tyler my assistant - Sometimes being a number 1 in a company is over glorified and it takes a different perspective to realize that all these big meetings I'm having with these big names is really eating the dirt to set myself up for an even bigger success in the end. I'm grinding, just like all of you to place myself where I want to end up - long term goals. This rant/ exchange is something you should all listen to as you're setting up for 2018.

Loved loved loved having my good friend and head of VaynerExperience, Kim Garcia drop by to chat about this brand new offering in the VaynerMedia world and how our first big conference - Agent2021 came to be. I'm hyped up for this conference, and the call-in questions were phenomenal - chatting about how to scale a small real estate business in a rural town, building up a growing music festival and running a small-town auto shop. Hope you all enjoy this one, and if you haven't yet, check out Agent2021's offerings- I'd love to see you there <3 https://agent2021.com/

A Keynote: Rabobank Food & Agribusiness Summit

Mon, 25 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

I was completely in the zone for this talk at Rabobank, focusing on the Food & Agribusiness world. It's not "everything is changing", it's "everything has already changed." There is such a massive disconnect between people and what's already going on... AI, VR, AR, mobile, digital, voice, etc. already are ruling our lives. I will be and already am successful because I am seeing this and noticing that this is where the attention is... I am day trading people's attention.

Inside My Heart, Brain & Soul

Sun, 24 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

The Top 10 Moments From #AskGaryVee in 2017

Sat, 23 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

The #AskGaryVee show is one of my staple pieces of content, and one of my favorites, after doing almost 300 episodes in the last few years. 2017's highlights include my father Sasha Vaynerchuk, all-time comedian and Daily Show Correspondent Hasan Minhaj, Bar Rescue star Jon Taffer, musician Jewel, my man Tim Ferriss, world champion boxer Roy Jones Jr, TV star Richard Rawlings, my buddy Tony Robbins, and all time rappers Logic and T-Pain. The content, call in's and chats between all these eps are completely all-time and you should check each out individually, right here on the Garyvee Audio Experience.

My 2 Cents On Hustle & Balance

Fri, 22 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

I've been seeing a lot of feedback lately of people trying to demonize or put down hustle and hard work as a whole, so I wanted to dive in and give my 2 cents on what this really mean. I just want to make it clear that this is my own point of view, and that the entire meaning is subjective to the person who's intaking it. If you're happy defining your "hustle" has 16 hours a week, that's great for you - if it's 3, and it makes you happy, that's perfect to. It's about being self-aware and identifying what makes you tick. Have a great new year guys, hope you love this <3

A Business Meeting With Rapper GoldLink

Thu, 21 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Extremely humbled to have 2018 Grammy Nominee and up and coming rap superstar, GoldLink stop by my office the other day. Huge take away that I discuss with GoldLink in this video is that even when you feel like you've "made it", if you stay patient for even just a little bit longer, you will "make it" so much more. Get as much attention as possible, eat shit, and really put in the work - the payoff will be massive.

Check out my man GoldLink here: https://www.instagram.com/goldlink/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyNz... https://www.facebook.com/goldlink https://twitter.com/GoldLink

A VIP Lunch With Auto Dealers

Wed, 20 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This lunch I had after speaking in Toronto with a gathering of auto dealers was about more than just the auto industry. We do talk about the industry, and how dealer branding should be the focus rather than the brands that are sold, because that can change at the drop of a pin. Then we dive into some deep down topics like work-life balance, the future of parenting and I talk about my biggest "misses" thus far. This would be a great one for you to hear to gain a bunch of insights. Hope you enjoy <3

A Rant: Think LEGACY, not DOLLARS

Tue, 19 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This rant is the absolute definition of what I mean when I say that I think long term - and you should too. When you stop worrying about what your bank account will look like in 1 or 3 or 7 years, you start moving yourself forward to be massively successful in the long term. Start looking at every single move you make as an impact to your legacy, and decide whether it'll impact positively or negatively. It's your choice, it's your time in the end game. Get it? Hope you enjoy <3

A Meeting With Big K.R.I.T | What Hip Hop Is All About

Mon, 18 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This is easily one of the more interesting meetings that I've had in a while and it was with the amazing Big K.R.I.T. I think there are some really interesting pointers in here if you pay close attention, where we dive into hip hop culture and Big K.R.I.T's backstory. We chat being an independent artist versus being locked into a single label, how thinking the market is always right dictates your next move, and a ton more. Hope you love this one !!

A Rant: Document Vs Create

Sun, 17 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Document, don't create. This is one of my all-time theses, because it's the foundation that I built my brand on. I wasn't "creating" wine library TV, I was documenting myself. I'm documenting every day, between Dailyvee, my podcast and every one of my channels because it so accurately displays my passions, my strengths, my life, and my ideals. This is a powerful one, don't skip it ;)

5 Of My Thoughts On College

Sat, 16 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Many of you who listen to my content have heard me talk about what my thoughts are around going to college and the after college experience once you've attended. Here, I talk about my experiences, my thoughts, my wishes and what I think college is both good and not good for. This different for everyone, but there's something here that anyone can and should take away. Hope you enjoy, have a great weekend <3

A Call With A Marketing Class

Fri, 15 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Loved loved loved this call I had with a marketing class, which asked some very insightful questions. I started this call with a brief introduction to the state of attention, focusing in on making the point that attention is living in a digital world, but that nobody is clicking on banner ads, or reading emails thoroughly. I also jump into what I look at as being the best person to work at Vaynermedia, leaning into honesty & confidence. This is a GREAT one guys, give it a listen and let me know your thoughts <3

A Rant: Hacking Attention For Acquisition

Thu, 14 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This clip elaborates on my idea of subtle attention hacking with the goal of acquisition. I dive into a few recent examples, like why my Natty Light sweater choice while courtside at the Knicks game was a good idea and how it got me social attention and influence without having to do any action, as well as the reasoning behind putting my agency cards up for a few minutes before each talk I do. Some good insights here !!

An Interview On The Influence Podcast at Influence MTL

Wed, 13 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This interview I did after speaking at the Influence MTL conference was fired up. This conference was focused around influencers & how they bring value to an industry, and we jump right into influencers (and basketball) here. We also chat about who the "Rick" is whenever I say the name ;).

A Keynote: Session 2 of Copenhagen Elevate 2017

Tue, 12 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

The first session I did at Copenhagen Elevate was good, but this one is even better. I go deep into the reasons behind why audio is becoming such a prominent form of content now, one of which directly correlates to the amount of multitasking and attention grabbing we're doing today. With voice, you're able to essentially watch an entire keynote, via voice while driving, or hear your daily briefings while you get ready. I also dive into a Q&A session, elaborating on the importance of empathy, one of my core values, and the true meaning of what having a "passive income" means. There's some really important business insights and life teachings here - give it a listen and let me know your thoughts <3

The Airplane Project: Track 12 - The Power of G&G

Mon, 11 Dec 2017 14:37:59 +0000

As you listen to these 11 tracks, I hope you take their true meaning & insight to heart, and use what’s most valuable to you every single day of your life.

GaryVee on The No Jumper Podcast

Sun, 10 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This podcast has me fired up !! I loved hanging with my man Adam Grandmaison aka Adam22, hanging out chatting hip hop, basketball, and not caring what anybody else thinks. This chat was all-time, and we spat fire on everything, chatting about what we think of new internet fandom and fame, and not judging people on what they look like on the outside, especially if they're winning with their subcultures. This talk gets deep. It's one you should really check out. <3

Top 5 Thoughts On Influencer Marketing

Sat, 09 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Influencer marketing is one of the cheapest attention arbitrages right now, and I truly believe that it's one of the most effective ways of advertising a brand right now as well, along with Facebook ads. Since influencers have such a wide reach & there are many up and coming people, they're able to genuinely and effectively present a product or service in a way that affects the audience consuming their content. Here's a few of my thoughts around why you should be utilizing this strategy, and examples of how I'd utilize it in difference scenarios.

RAW AUDIO: IF YOU'RE AN ENTREPRENEUR, SOMEONE IS TRYING TO PUT YOU OUT OF BUSINESS| DailyVee 343

Fri, 08 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Are you guys enjoying these raw cuts of Dailyvee's? Really happy that I got to discuss social media marketing and social media strategy in my keynote today while directing it towards a car-industry which is an audience I typically don't directly address. Although, I think the majority of the value in this video will come from the very beginning and near the end during the talk I had at the table. Innovation is key - never be afraid to test new things. Hope you enjoy these :)

A Keynote: Elevate 2017 Copenhagen, Denmark | Session 1

Thu, 07 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Loved loved this keynote in Denmark, focused heavily on making sure you're aiming for where the lowest priced attention is to get your message out - putting your messages in social media, instead of TV commercials. Some great Q&A here too, elaborating why every company that's advertising on social should be thinking of themselves as an entertainment company, putting out content at scale and driving customer interaction with that. Give this keynote a deep listen, because there's some fire here. <3

Wed, 06 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

LOVED having my man, and renowned investor Ray Dalio on #AskGaryVee this week. I discuss the formula for success with billionaire investor Ray Dalio regarding the principles and ideas which define our work and life. We dissect the core concepts Ray used to build the world's most successful hedge fund along with my principles for building VaynerMedia and my personal brand. This is one of the best AskGaryVee episodes of all time. Leave a comment with your personal principles below!

#AskGaryVee 274 | Hasan Minhaj

Mon, 04 Dec 2017 10:00:00 +0000

My man Hasan Minhaj isn't just a fire comedian and correspondent on the Daily Show, he's also one of the best guests ever on the AskGaryVee show. This all-time episode is one you really, REALLY don't want to miss. I'm incredibly impressed by this man and his knowledge of the Garyvee brand, and truly loved chatting with him. We dove into his literal origin story as a first generation immigrant, with him speaking about the come-up and milestones in his career, before hitting Daily Show fame. The call ins shine here, with comedy related, life related and career related questions and a massive amout of humor. This is an all-time episode, and you really don't want to miss this. Hit me up and let me know your thoughts <3

We chat about the boxers Roy still strives to fight, answer questions about improving your skills at your craft, whether it's boxing or anything else, and take a call from a sports marketing agency owner, asking what the best solution is when you fall on hard times on the brink of massive success. This all-time episode is a must-listen, and I know you're gonna love it. <3

A Q&A at The Capitalism Conference

Thu, 30 Nov 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Some great notes in this Q&A, starting off with the difference between working hard, working smart and building a life that you want to live, instead of following directly in someone's footsteps. We also jump into testing and trying new things vs going for what's tried, true and proven- with the example being Facebook ads, as well as my opinion on risk, something involved in almost every move that one can make towards building a business. Some great tactical questions here that I know you'll love <3

Mon, 27 Nov 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone, I hope this weekend was a great one for you and you got to spend time with loved ones. This rant comes off a talk I had with my mother, with her realizing that she's going to live for another 30 plus years she told me that my thoughts around patience had a huge effect on her, and I wanted to turn this around on why you should start thinking of yourself and driving to becoming who you want to be, instead of sitting there and just wishing it to happen - progress isn't going to happen without action. Please, please start deploying patience and motivation and start making those moves towards where you want to be. If you heard this, and are taking that action, hit me up on Twitter @Garyvee, I want to hear from you. <3

Sun, 26 Nov 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This is the THIRD time I've been on The Breakfast Club, easily on of my favorite groups in the world to hang with. Cha tha god and the rest of the crew always make the show total fire, and I loved jumping into this one. Some serious fire in here- jumping between keeping a young mindset (feeling 24, when you're 42), the idea, creation and launch behind my K-Swiss sneaker and why I'll never do business with Michael Jordan ;). LOVED this one, and I hope you will too <3

A Rant Connecting Entrepreneurship, Self Awareness, Hard Work and Empathy

Sat, 25 Nov 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Being an entrepreneur is about more than just selling shit, and it's not something that just anyone can become at will. It requires hard work, empathy, self awareness and dedication to work through the highs and lows that come with it. I love these two rants because they connect a lot of those thoughts, and bring deep value and insight into what it feels like when you break through the barriers and face the challenges that come with entrepreneurship. Hope you all had a great thanksgiving, and are ready to jump right back into the grind !!

A Keynote: Brandminds Asia 2017 | Singapore

Tue, 21 Nov 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Another complete fire keynote at Brandminds Asia in Singapore. Loved diving into how the constantly changing communication landscape is redeveloping the way we market to our customers. The Q&A section is what really shines here, discussing international expansion, how selling a piece of a company can lead to having to invest more time into investor meetings, board meetings and prepping for these, and what documenting your journey really means.

A Keynote: AREAA

Sun, 19 Nov 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Even though this keynote is a little more niche than I typically go, I loved diving into the Q&A's here. We chat about crypocurrencies, the blockchain, real estate and a ton more. One point that I like to emphasize here is that a lot of you have never experienced the market when it was running low - once you experience that, you'll understand the tough points of being an entrepreneur. Hope you love this one, we get down and dirty in it. Enjoy ;)

Sat, 18 Nov 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Whether it's 5 minute meetings, leveraging time on the go with phone calls or over text or simply taking the short time to make meetings while walking or traveling somewhere, I'm all about hacking news ways to get as much done as possible in as little amount of time.

An Interview on Personal Brand, Traditional Print & Knowing When to Give & Take

Sun, 12 Nov 2017 10:00:00 +0000

If you've listened to my content, you know that I'm a massive supporter of paying your dues to get ahead in the long run - as most of my team has and work for free or little money. Especially when you're young or straight out of college and can afford to. One of the best ways to dive into what you want to do, whether it's building your portfolio or providing value to strive to work with someone that you want to is to show firsthand what you can do, and that you're motivated to work, and these 5 examples are spot on what I mean.

A Business Meeting: Exactly Why You Don't Need Fancy Shit

Thu, 02 Nov 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This meeting I took before heading to Singapore really brought out the best example and reasoning of why you need to focus on long term success and happiness instead of buying flashy watches & fast cars right now. A great example I give here, is that if you saved that $10,000 you'd spend on things you really don't need every year, in just a few years you'd have enough to dive in and start your own small business. These 17 minutes contain some of the most important points in entrepreneurship and I hope you take it all to heart <3

Wed, 01 Nov 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Wed, 25 Oct 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Thu, 12 Oct 2017 09:00:00 +0000

When I wanted to send a pretty lengthy message out to my team to debate our YouTube strategy, I could have typed it out on my phone, but instead utilized the voice recording function to say what I wanted to say. It may not seem like a lot of time saved, but once you start compiling and compounding these choices, it adds up and you can get so much more done <3

A Rant: Selling & Accountability

Wed, 11 Oct 2017 09:00:00 +0000

I've been throwing some serious right hooks lately, which is the opposite of what I've been doing. Between the wine clubs, the Q&A conference, and few others I've been demonstrating the hunger in my nature for sales. This is something that a lot of you need to hear from me, that it's completely fine to throw that right hook & sell - especially if you believe in what you're selling. If you have no faith in the product or service on your end, why would somebody else - which is where accountability kicks in. Hope you take this to heart and learn from it <3

A Private Keynote: Booking.com In Amsterdam

Tue, 10 Oct 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This was a fire keynote that I gave in Amsterdam a few weeks back to the Bookings.com crowd. One of the main themes here is why you should always keep Dying on your own sword in the back of your mind. As long as you keep this theme constantly in mind, and are doing this for yourself it keeps you at the top of the crowd. Another big theme here is practicality. If you're too far behind on emerging platforms and networks, you're not practical because you're not taking advantage of the massive potential there is to grab onto new audiences. I loved this one, and I hope you do too ;)

An Interview With INC. | 3 Ways To Succeed On Social Media

Sun, 01 Oct 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Even though this interview is a few years old, the points we touch on mean that it's still massively accurate. First off, social listening and discovering where you can jump into conversations is just as important as blasting out content - it helps let you know what kind of content to be producing, gives you tons of info about your customer base and influences where your target demo should be. Twitter is a HUGELY important platform for this. I also touch on being first on emerging platforms, and why it's almost always in your best interest to get on them as fast as possible. Hope this one brings you a ton of value !!

Can't wait for you to hear these call - in's too, so so relevant to the theme of the episode, talking about how to not take sides of employees when there's an issue, leadership within restaurants and why millennials are NOT the enemy. Enjoy <3

Tue, 12 Sep 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This is the one. I may have been out for August, but this interview I did with the Haste and Hustle crew brought straight fire back to me. Loved diving into the difference between what I consider macro failures and micro failures, and stretching one of my top beliefs - that you need to make sure you're doing what YOU want. Focusing on doing things with yourself in mind is going to get you so far ahead, because it lets you leave the losers in the dust. It doesn't matter what happened in the past, only what you're gonna do about it. <3

A Rant: What To Do If You've Found Your Purpose

Mon, 04 Sep 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This business meeting couldn't possibly instill one of my core beliefs stronger if it tried. If you find something you're good at, passionate at and excel at, do it for free and the money will come. There's nothing wrong with being a fast second - but being first to a new game is even better ;)

Sun, 03 Sep 2017 09:00:00 +0000

The advice here is simple and powerful - being genuine always wins. Hope you really enjoy & hit me up on Twitter to let me know your thoughts !!

This Week In Highlights | 8/21/2017

Sat, 26 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

In case you couldn't tell, this week's big theme was POSITIVITY and the massively good impact that spreading it can have on your life, ambitions, business and overall well being.

Fri, 25 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

A Rant: Triple Down on POSITIVITY

Wed, 23 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

There's absolutely no excuse to not have positivity in your offensive arsenal. If you're putting out purely positive, excited, motivated vibes, there's nothing that can stop you. I love equating it to the early days of a lot of startups where everything was positive and that's exactly what drove those companies to success and booming business. If you're positive, you'll come out above all. ;)

A Rant: When You Get To Do What You Want To Do, You've Won

Tue, 22 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

It's no secret that money doesn't necessarily bring immediate happiness, and it's fully something I believe. When your work and hustle doesn't feel like a chore or burden anymore, that's how you know you've truly won. This message is something that needs to be much clearer to a lot of you - would you rather make $100,000 doing something you don't enjoy, or $80,000 enjoying it?

Mon, 21 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

A Meeting With A VM Intern | How To Provide Value To Large Companies

Fri, 18 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This was a great chat with one of the Vaynermedia summer interns, Jake who raised a great question about how to prove you can provide value to larger companies. Taking the risk and asking with CLASS is what's key to picking somebody's interest, and then adding in a massive dose of patience. Every single intern or student should give this one a listen - it's really important !!

A Rant: Losing The Micro Battle To Win The War

Thu, 17 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This is a point that I drive across constantly but really can't say enough. If you're ONLY looking at the MICRO view, you're going to lose the macro. This message is one that needs to be realized by anyone trying to build a business or brand - because it's just what's true. Nothing happens in a day, it takes time. <3

A Meeting With A VM Intern | Utilizing the 5 Percent of Free Time as A Student

Wed, 16 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Loved meeting with Vaynermedia intern Leo to chat about his time at Vayner, where his head was at and his aspirations for where he wants to go. He brought up an amazing question about how to best utilize the tiny percentage of time that's not already taken up by attending Law school, and I know you'll all benefit from this answer. Hope you enjoy ;)

By the way, love the new intro? The song used in it is "Legendary" by Welshly Arms.

A Rant: Having Confidence In Yourself is NECESSARY

Sun, 13 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

It doesn't matter what industry you're in, what you're trying to accomplish or what you think is possible... If you have complete faith in what you're doing and striving towards and the blueprint to make that thing possible, you're way more likely to succeed. Take this one completely seriously, because it's 100 percent true !!

This Week In Highlights | 8/7/17

Sat, 12 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

I released my interview with CNBC Life Hacks from the Rise conference in Hong Kong, did a completely fire interview on ESPN SportsNation, and had my man Ryan Holiday on the show for a completely sick interview. If you missed any of this, definitely hit up that content ;)

An Interview: What's Next Conference in Brussels 2017

Fri, 11 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

What made things fall in place for me? Everything from WLTV to Planet of the Apps has been part of many things that failed or did not work out. Nobody really remembers the losses of those days of just putting your head down and grinding, and that's what this interview is full of. ENJOY <3

#AskGaryVee 262 | Ryan Holiday

Thu, 10 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Author, Marketing Master and my man Ryan Holiday stopped by for the #AGV show, and it couldn't of been a more fire episode.

There's A LOT of amazing Q&A in here, so definitely give it a listen. I know you'll love it ;)

Love this one, and hope you do too :)

A Rant: Instilling Confidence

Sun, 06 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

When you're at your lowest, or off your high peak, or tripped up and made a mistake there's no other option than to get back up on your horse and go - and that's one of the key lessons off this FIRE IG live I did in Aspen, CO last week. When, and if that setback happens, you've gotta re evaluate and really stop being fancy. Getting accustomed to a certain lifestyle is easy, and letting go of it isn't. The message here is clear as crystal and I hope you love it ;)

Fri, 04 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

You all know my stance on interning and what you should be striving for when doing an internship ANYWHERE. This chat reaffirms that massively. I loved chatting with the summer interns here at VM, and I think you all will really enjoy this. If you're interning this summer, or are about to start in the fall make sure you're connecting with as many people in the company or location you're at. That's key ;)

A Rant: I Don't Want The Most Followers, I Want The Largest Impact & Legacy

Thu, 03 Aug 2017 09:00:00 +0000

It's a classic case of quality vs quantity, mixed with self-awareness. Maybe you ARE focused on having the most followers, and that's fine, but my goal here isn't numbers - it's impact. Hope you take this one to heart <3

A Fireside Chat with USC's Football Team

Mon, 31 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

At the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, talking to their football team about understanding the bigger picture. When you are at the prime of your career, you have the leverage.

Share this with someone that needs to understand where the bigger picture in life stands <3

A Business Meeting with Author Aija Mayrock

This is a really great one guys, hope you love it :)

This Week in Highlights | 7/24/17

Sat, 29 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

The calls are good ;)

A Rant: My $.02 on Work Ethic and Work Life Balance

Thu, 27 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

I'm constantly asked about my thoughts on work life balance, hustle culture and work ethic and I hope this one will answer some of those questions for you. There needs to be a conversation that your amount of hustle and grind is directly correlated to how happy or unhappy you are. If you're unhappy, you need to work and strive as hard as you can to change that. You're the only person who's able to change at that level so it's completely up to YOU to make it happen. Hope you enjoy these thoughts- hit me up on Anchor for more like this :)

Why One View is EVERYTHING | VAYNERNATION READS

Tue, 25 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

An Interview: Behind The Brand with Bryan Elliot

Sun, 23 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

One of the big reasons that I'm obsessed with "hustle" and "grind" and just plain putting in the work is because that's the ONE variable that everyone can put in to change the outcome of their lives. And that comes out extremely clear and strong in this interview. Just because you failed at one thing doesn't mean you give up. Learn and get back up and go. Hope you enjoy this ;)

This Week In Highlights | 7/17/17

This is a really good one, hope you enjoy ;)

A Rant: Overnight Success

Thu, 20 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

It may look like I came out of nowhere in a matter of years, but in reality my success was YEARS in the making. I didn't just flip a switch and all of a sudden get on Conan O'Brien, I spent every. single. weekend from when I was 14 working, learning, listening; This rant is the story behind all that.

This Keynote was definitely one for the books. I gave this keynote to the Rise conference in Hong Kong last week, for a group of entrepreneurs, and there's some great content in here. I touched on topics focused around staying ahead of platforms that are constantly changing, but that remain within the same basic framework of what communication will remain to be, what happens to attention when large companies spend a ton of money to advertise and where you can slip in, and mapping your actions to match your drive to entrepreneurship. Hope you enjoy this one! Let me know your thoughts ;)

The Hack: Having a Media Company Mentality | VAYNERNATION Reads

Sun, 16 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Acting like a media company isn't just a good suggestion right now, it's mission critical. There's no excuse for not pumping out as much content and distributing it as far and wide as humanly possible - that's just the game. I'm trying something brand new here and having the Vaynernation read out the articles I've been pumping out on Medium. If you want to read an article, hit me up! Shoutout to Matthew Bonelli (IG: @matthewjbonelli) for this read.

A Chat With My College Roommate

Fri, 14 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

A Fireside Chat With Black Enterprises

Thu, 13 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Loved loved loved sitting down with this group of minority entrepreneurs to chat business and help them figure out the best direct for their work.

#ASKGARYVEE 258 | K-SWISS, GENERATION-K AND THE SNEAKERS FOR ENTREPRENEURS

Tue, 11 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This is a HUGE one. Having the guys from K-Swiss on the show was spectacular and I'm so humbled to be a part of their new launch that's breathing life back into the brand (a long with a very secret announcement coming later <3). The call-in's were unrivaled. We took questions about how the brand is planning on revamping itself, what the availability of the new sneaker line is going to be, starting a sneaker reselling business, and the mechanics around staying in a small town to build yourself up versus moving to a big city. Hope you all love this one, I sure did. And hit me up at gvsneaker@vaynermedia.com ;)

A Compilation: My Thoughts on College

Mon, 10 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Hope you all enjoy this mashup that my thoughts on college are defined from. I'm not saying that there's no benefit in pursuing further education, just that the system isn't running at what it should be. The amount of knowledge I gained going to college, and school for that matter wasn't related to learning about business, but it was learning about people. ;)

This Week In Highlights | 7/3/17

Sun, 09 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Another total fire week In the books. This week I spent some time on AskGaryVee with my man Jon Taffer, re-shared and interview with YouTuber Drawing With Jazza on how to monetize yourself as an artist, and had my third visit to the Breakfast Club here in NYC. If you missed ANY of this, give this one a listen. Can't wait to hear your thoughts ;)

An Interview: CEO of Anchor, Michael Mignano

Sat, 08 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

You all know my complete infatuation with audio and spoken word, and that's why I LOVED doing this interview with Michael, the CEO of the app Anchor which lets anyone create their very own "public radio" station, and super easily publish a podcast. We talked about what it's like to launch an app, and how it's nearly impossible to survive on just a launch, what it was like growing a business from the very beginning and what's going on the audio space. Let me know what you think of this one, and follow me on ANCHOR! ;)

A Rant: My Thoughts on The Cycle of Innovation

Fri, 07 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

If you want to survive the cycle of innovation there is only one thing you need to know. You have to understand that if you remain romantic, you are going to lose. One of the reason’s I have been so successful in my career is because I followed consumer attention. I didn’t hold on to what got me here. Yesterday it was ‘91 cabernet sauvignon and now it’s rosé. Yesterday it was the six second video app Vine, and today it’s Instagram. The fact of the matter is, “The Cycle of Innovation” is nothing more than a bundle of fancy words. In reality the term means nothing. Listen to this podcast to hear more about what I think!

An Interview: Garyvee on The Breakfast Club | Why Social Media and Networking are Important Tools for Success

Thu, 06 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Loved being back on The Breakfast Club last week with my man Charlemagne and the rest of the crew. Hope this chat helped everyone who's trying to build up their business. Everyone has a different motivation in building, but the end goal is largely the same - to be the absolute best in your field, and for that you've gotta understand what you're doing. Enjoy ;)

An Interview: How to Turn Your Art Into A Business w/ Drawing With Jazza

Wed, 05 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Turning art, music or any other sort of creative practice into a lucrative business isn't easy, which is why I loved this interview I did with popular YouTuber Josiah Brooks of Drawing with Jazza! There's a lot of really important touch points here, beyond just art like how to monetize your creative profession when the lens is currently focused on vlogging and video content, how to recognize when you should be working for free to boost exposure in the long run, and finding the balance between what the market wants and your own creative passions. This is an AMAZING one, enjoy it !!

An Interview: One to One with Steve Adubato

Tue, 04 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This interview went in deep. It was great chatting with Steve on his PBS show, One to One and diving into why I am the way I am, and why I believe that I was raised with confidence, conviction and the ability to really squeeze out the BS, while being able to provide value to others. Hope you enjoy it, hit me up on Twitter and let me know your thoughts !!

A Keynote: Relentless 2017

Mon, 03 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This keynote was total FIRE. Loved being at Danny Morel's "Relentless" talk, chatting about everything from Real Estate to figuring out exactly where your attention should be focused to get the most out of your marketing. The Q&A section here was great, and a lot of the questions were relatable on every level. Once you start doing things for yourself, the path you need to take becomes real clear - then it's just up to you to execute. Enjoy ;)

#AskGaryVee 257 | Jon Taffer

Sun, 02 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This is hands down one of the best episodes ever. The energy between Jon and I was completely unmatched, and the call-in questions were on point. Besides being the host of the massively successful show Bar Rescue, Jon is an entrepreneur through and through. We talked and took questions about how to expand your reach to your restaurant, diving deep into the nitty gritty of a BBQ spot in Kentucky, and monetizing personal content. This one was seriously FIRE and I can't wait for you to hear it. Let me know what you thought !!!

This Week In Highlights | 6/26/17

Sat, 01 Jul 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Between releasing the full three hours of the completely FIRE Washington Sq Park meetup I did, to hosting back to back #AskGaryVee's with Morgan Spurlock and my man Jon Taffer, the content here is diverse and totally sick. Let me know what you thought of this week ;)

A Rant: I HATE FRIDAY

Fri, 30 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Friday's are complete BS. There's no reason you should be striving for the weekend, because that means you're not doing something right. Family time is important, and being with the ones you love is important but shouldn't be running away from what you do towards the weekend. I used to do this, so TRUST me, you need to change this before it gets too far. Take this rant to heart because EVERY SINGLE PERSON needs to hear this. Share it with a friend that really needs it !!

#AskGaryVee 256 | Morgan Spurlock, PROFESSIONAL STORYTELLING AND MARKETING UNDERWEAR ON INSTAGRAM

Thu, 29 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

LOVED having my man Morgan Spurlock on the show. If you don't know him, he's the mastermind behind the popular documentary Supersize Me. We sat down and chatted about how he came up in the entertainment biz, starting out with some seriously fun stories as a production assistant, and then answered questions like when you should start looking for a business partner, what you should be taking advantage of when studying in another country, and how to start monetizing your own personal brand and social content. Check this out, it's a great one ;)

Wed, 28 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

#ASKGARYVEE 255 | BLACK COFFEE, DEALING WITH REJECTION and INSPIRATION VS. MOTIVATION

Tue, 27 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Cannes was great, but i LOVED hanging out with my man Black Coffee and doing this #askgaryvee LIVE on the VaynerX yacht. We talked about what how he got started in the music industry, trying out a few things before landing on what he's doing now. The questions here were great, answering questions about how to balance work and life, how to appropriately deal with rejection, and inspiration vs motivation. Hope you enjoy this one !!

An Interview: Gary Vaynerchuk on the Jim Rome Show

Mon, 26 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

LOVED loved loved being on my man Jim Rome's show. I talked about exactly when my desire to buy the New York Jets started, when I think that'll happen, and what my idea of the media landscape will be in 20 years. Keep an eye on Augmented and Mixed reality, because as technology gets smaller and more efficient, these two areas will start to matter a whole lot more... Just keep in mind that as you're hustling, it's not about the money or fame - it's about not complaining. If you're complaining, you're definitely not hustling your way to a better life. Really enjoyed this talk guys, let me know what you thought ;)

THE FIRE 3 HOUR Q&A MEETUP IN WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK, NYC

Sun, 25 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This Week In Highlights | 6/19/17

Sat, 24 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Another FIRE week in the books. Hope everyone enjoyed this week, and if you missed ANYTHING at all (which you really won't want to), give this one a listen. Between the throwback to my talk at google, and the advice that EVERY SINGLE PERSON needs to hear about starting over in their careers, there's a ton. We dropped the first episode of After The App this week too, where I talked to Ben Silverman & Howard Owens about their experience producing Planet Of The Apps. Give this one a listen, and make sure to catch up on anything you missed. Can't wait for next week ;)

A Reddit AMA From The Back Of A Moving Car

Fri, 23 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This is IT guys. We took full advantage of time here, and did a Reddit AMA fully from the back of a moving car, traveling through Manhattan. There's some great questions in here that spread far and wide - from reverse engineering yourself to figure out what content you should be producing, to my sleeping habits, and how brick and mortar shops should be thinking to stay ahead of the game. If you couldn't tell, I love doing these AMA's. Can't wait for the next one. Let me know your thoughts ;)

A Keynote: A Talk at GOOGLE On The Growth of Wine Library

Thu, 22 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

If you like wine (and business), you're going to love this one. This is a throwback to a talk I did at Google about growing wine library, all while doing a live wine tasting and Q&A. The questions here are a perfect mix of wine and business, throwing straight back to building the business that started it all. Give this one a listen and let me know what you thought <3

A Rant: How To Make $20,170 in 2017

Tue, 20 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Know those hundreds of hours you spend doing absolutely nothing? Stop using them to binge watch House of Cards and start hustling to make some money. Check this one out because we're halfway through the year, and that means we're halfway through the #2017FlipChallenge - but its literally never too late to start. Watch eBay, watch Craigslist, and start hopping on Facebook Marketplace and all those new flipping apps. Shoot me a DM and let me know where you're at :)

A Rant: YOU HAVE TIME - Advice For Starting Over

Mon, 19 Jun 2017 17:42:30 +0000

This rant is for every single person that thinks they're "too old to start over", or that they're stuck in a job they hate instead of pursuing what they really want to do. At 31 I was a wine merchant buying and selling wine, and now I'm leading Vaynermedia. The INTERNET is what's enabling you to do a complete 180 and aim for what you really want. It doesn't matter if you're 25, 26 or even 54. This 100 percent applies to you, and you NEED to hear this one. Hit me up on twitter and let me know you heard this and understood !!

Sun, 18 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This Week In Highlights | 6-12-2017

Sat, 17 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Want to make sure you didn't miss a SINGLE beat this week? These are the most FIRE highlights that stood out this week on the Garyvee Audio Experience. Dive in, get hyped and push hard this weekend. Make sure you take a listen to the phone call I had with the father of a nine year old who stood up to a bully and turned the situation around. The advice in here isn't limited to anyone. I also talked about exactly where the social landscape is heading, and where it came FROM. Hope you loved this week's content, let me know what you thought ;) ;)

A Keynote: INC 500 Seminar

Fri, 16 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This keynote I gave at the INC 500 seminar holds some KEY points to your small biz marketing. Content is King. The way you advertise, the way you market and show your product is so insanely important, but giving CONTEXT around what you’re doing is what matters. Because we’re living in a more fragmented world, your content and context around have to be as attention grabbing and eye catching as possible. Let me know your thoughts and give this one a listen ;)

An Interview with Pro Boxer & CEO Mike Rashid

Thu, 15 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Loved having my man Mike Rashid stop by and chat. We spent some time on ideas behind building an audience - why you shouldn't only focus on avenues that have the highest reach, but will have the highest impact. One HUGE point we made here toward the fitness industry was having the self-awarness to not just pedal products for a quick buck. Do you really want to be selling things that you don't believe in to your friends and family? Leaving a legacy is what the goal is here. In everything I do, I want to leave behind a MASSIVE legacy of myself and what I created. Focus on the number of people that will come to your funeral, not on the number in the bank. Give this a listen - let me know what you thought :)

From My Inbox: How A 9 Year Old Overcame Bullying

Wed, 14 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Thad reached out to me via email, explaining how his daughter, 9 year old Olivia was getting bullied in school. But she didn't just let it happen. After hearing my "For All The Haters" video, she stood up to the bully, and told her teachers, later converting the former bully into a friend and going to her birthday party. I was so touched by this message that I called up Thad and Olivia to talk to them about exactly what of my content inspired Olivia. Thad, Olivia and myself would LOVE if you'd take a listen to this one. It really means the world & please check out "For All The Haters" if you haven't already seen it. <3 <3

A Keynote: SALT Conference 2017

Tue, 13 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Everyone is fast forwarding TV ads and clicking away from banner and popup ads. I ate shit when I started Vaynermedia until it grew to what I wanted it to be. The three ways we’re going to consume something - Visual, Audio and Written word. Podcasting and sound is about to blow up. By becoming the media company in their organization and grabbing that industry attention at a level that’s open they will win. Start focusing on where the attention is cheapest and in the highest volume, and grab it. Hope you enjoyed this talk <3

Advice To A Young Man That Everyone Should Hear

Mon, 12 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This chat I have with this young man applied to SO many of you. Make sure you really, REALLY listen in here because this one gets deep. When you're grinding and kicking, make sure you're thinking of why you're really there. Do things with the intent of people showing up to you funeral, rather than filling your bank account. Trust me here, the bank account will come. This is one of my most insightful pieces of content, so please please give it a listen; I'd be so humbled. Let me know what you think about it and hit me up on Twitter. <3

An Interview with YAHOO On the Status Of the American Dream and Entrepreneurship

Sat, 10 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

It was great talking with Yahoo about my ideas and past. We chatted about my thoughts on what the status of the American dream is today - Everyone is a founder and entrepreneur these days, and that means a lot in the world of investments. Being an entrepreneur is more than just throwing it in your social media profiles, and there's some really important points here around both entrepreneurship and some current trends I'm noticing (hint hint, VR). Hope you enjoy! DM me and let me know your thoughts ;)

A Personal Branding Meeting with 13 Reasons Why Actor Christian Lee Navarro

Fri, 09 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Loved having actor Christian Lee Navarro come by the office and chat about personal branding, the landscape and direction of social media and what matters in more traditional media. The internet is what's driving the structure of traditional television and media down as apps and social media programming are on the rise. Hope you really enjoy this one, I sure did! :)

EXCLUSIVE: What's the ROI Of A Smile?

Thu, 08 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Coming at you all straight from the plane back from my recent trip with Pencils of Promise in Ghana. Experiencing an entire different world & perspective while Planet of the Apps launched completely fired my mind up; pulling from two complete opposites.

A Keynote: THINK Conference

Wed, 07 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Give it a listen and hit me up on Twitter and let me know what you thought! <3

Tue, 06 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This is an important one, so please please check it out. Remember Mr. Reynolds, the caller from the #AskGaryVee show with Adam Braun? He rolled through with the students he teaches from inner city Philadelphia, to hang out with me at Vaynermedia and talk about life after high school. All of these kids have different things going on and it as an absolute pleasure having them come by. The energy and positivity in this is complete fire and I KNOW you're going to love this. <3

A Keynote: The Vaynermedia 4D Daily Digital Deep Dive

Mon, 05 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Loved doing this Q&A keynote with the most recent Vaynermedia 4D's crew. These questions were completely on point. We talked about things like why you need to research and pick the most appropriate platform for your industry & business, how trust and confidence will boost you to the forefront of your industry and a ton more. Give this one a listen guys, I'd be completely humbled. There's lots of really important lessons in here you'll love.

A HUGE thanks to my man, Tom Bilyeu for having me on his show. Loved loved loved chatting with him about why positivity, optimism are the complete keys to success, the success and boom of services like Uber over car purchases, and why the time and world we're living in now - the age where the internet and online presences are completely dominating - is the most important shift in our society in years. It all comes down to your perspective, and how you execute. We get DEEP in this one. Don't miss it, and make sure to check out Tom's show, Impact Theory on YouTube and hit him up @TomBilyeu! ;)

Sat, 03 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

If you missed ANYTHING this week, you're going to want to listen to this. Between the most FIRE Reddit AMA I've ever done (there's more coming too ;) and a keynote in Romania that I completely ripped through, don't miss a second of this week.

A Keynote: Sales Machine

Fri, 02 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

You’re only as good as your last at-bat. The way you made your money yesterday is the last thing you should care about. The landscape of sales in our society has changed fundamentally over the last few years. Utilizing social media to directly contact key individuals in B2B companies is KEY to helping drive your sales strategy. Identify them, contact them, and provide them value. There’s a story in here DIRECTLY related to this strategy, converting them into a paying client. Lots of good Q&A in here - give it a listen 😉. Whether you’re loving or hating my podcast, I’d LOVE if you could give it a rating on iTunes. THANK YOU !!

A Conversation of Social Thoughts With My Ghost Writer

Thu, 01 Jun 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Guys, I wanted to bring this clip to the podcast exclusively. In this episode I'm talking with my ghost writer for my next book, "Crushed It!" chatting about everything from my thoughts on the direction and value of Musically, to how and why social networks change over time, to how Twitter's sustained its most useful aspect. At the end of the day, if you're a beggar, meaning you're not happy with your current situation but you want to win, then you must be willing to do whatever it takes. Give this one a listen because so many of you need to hear it - I'm turning my podcast game WAY up. Can't wait to be bringing more exclusive content your way ;)

A Keynote: Brand Minds in Romania

Wed, 31 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

When I'm on, I'm on. Last week in Bucharest, Romania was one for the books. The guys at Brand Minds really know how to turn it on and boy was there some energy in that room. It doesn't matter about what ISN'T a play, or what you wish could be happening in your field - all you can do is react to what the best play or network or tactic is actually relevant in your field. That's all. If you're strapped for time, at least make sure you tune into the Q&A. I talk about how I trade my attention, how I push my teams to think outside the box of what their clients think is the correct move, and how I boost positivity and optimism in my companies. Enjoy this one guys because it's HUGE.

THE FIRE REDDIT AMA!

Tue, 30 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

TOTAL FIRE. That's the only way to describe this AMA. Your questions were on point and I was hyped up to answer them. Dive right into this one, especially if you missed it online. It's an entirely different experience ;). I answered what I regret from my teens and 20's, why my ultimate vision is, the words that I live by and SO much more. Give this a listen and let me know exactly what you thought. I'll be doing a lot more like this so get your questions ready :)

A Compilation: Embrace Negative Comments

Mon, 29 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Hope you all really enjoy this mashup from the other day. There's some great lessons in it. Most of all, you need to stop doubting yourself and overthinking things. Start DOING instead of sitting there and wondering "should I?" - Execute and things will happen. There's no reason to think of process as a constraint in your life. You need to break out of it and start making things happen. In this mashup I also talk about my thoughts on where Universities are headed, how to think about starting to grow an audience and following, why you need to not dismiss negative comments - use them to GROW. Enjoy this one!!

A Compilation: Why SELF AWARENESS Is The Most Important Thing

Sun, 28 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

I'd love if you gave this one a listen, because it's SUPER important. Being self aware is something I truly believe you need to embrace and find if you want to be as successful as possible. Knowing both your strengths and weaknesses will help you get way ahead of any blockers and hiccups that come your way and there's a lot of work, time and thought that goes into figuring out yourself. Take this one to heart and embrace it. Thanks for giving it a listen <3

This Week In Highlights | 5/22/17

Sat, 27 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This week was another one for the books. Between #AskGaryVee with my dad, Sasha Vaynerchuk - which by the way shows EXACTLY where my work ethic and family business beliefs came from, my Facebook and Instagram LIVE Q&A sessions and a fire talk at Stanford with the one and only Tyra Banks, the content this week was amazing. Oh, and don't forget my Reddit AMA... ;) Give it a listen and let me know what you want to hear. Can't wait for what's in store next week <3

#ASKGARYVEE 254 | THE ULTIMATE FATHER AND SON DUO AND HOW WINE LIBRARY GOT ITS NAME

Fri, 26 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Loved loved loved having my DAD, Sasha Vaynerchuk on the show this week. Anyone that's in a family business NEEDS to hear this one. There's a lot of really, really important topics here, and the call-in questions were even deeper. We go back and forth about topics like what to do when you feel you're underpaid in a family (or any) business, talk to a father-son business pair about when and how to start trusting your children to lead and take over a business, and you get an EXTREMELY in-depth look at where my work ethic and practices came from. Don't miss this one, and let me know what you thought. P.S. There's a few really great stories in here ;)

A Keynote: Gary Vaynerchuk at SXSW with Jack & Suzy Welch

Thu, 25 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This "Brawl in the hall" - talking what it really takes to win in business with former General Electric CEO, Jack Welch & Suzy Welch was amazing. We talked about an enormous range of topics, from what scares us in the future of business to social media and the fundamental rules of business that will never change. My personal favorite that Jack suggested: hire great people. I hope you love this one guys! ;)

A Compilation: Sales Versus Marketing

Wed, 24 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Everyone that’s trying to decide whether to give the power to their sales or their marketing teams need to stop and give this one a listen. No matter how hard you try, or which side you’re bias to, you need both of these teams in your org. Marketing folks take flak for spending a lot with a few large successes, and the sales teams working lots of things on a lower level. Stop hating Jim in marketing or Julie in sales. Listen up and figure out how to combine the two and build a more successful org. ENJOY!

A Personal Branding Talk At Stanford With Tyra Banks

Tue, 23 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

If you're building a business or just building your personal brand higher you NEED to give this one a listen. I gave a talk at Stanford University alongside Tyra Banks to people that are focusing on their own personal branding. It's time to start realizing that you need to be giving away more than you're asking for - that's the only way to see results and growth. If there's one key point to take from this it's that it doesn't matter HOW many followers your have. It's what value you provide to them, and how big of an impact you have on them. Without a loyal community a follower count is just a number. You own you, so your ambitions need to start matching and mapping your actions. Please give this one a listen guys it means a lot to me. DM me and let me know what you thought. :)

A FIRE Q&A FROM FACEBOOK LIVE & INSTAGRAM

Mon, 22 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Loved doing this Q&A with everyone who tuned in on Facebook Live & Instagram the other day - some great questions here from what to look for in the tourism industry (hint: it's BIG) to the perfect one two combo that you should be thinking of when you're creating content. Remember that not everybody is consuming the same content in the same ways. Kindness is a MASSIVE asset to Can't wait to do more of these with you. ENJOY these guys. and don't miss the ending ;) DM me and let me know what you're thinking <3

This Week In Highlights | 5/15/2017

Sun, 21 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

If you saw any of this week, you know it was a busy one all around. There's some incredibly important bits in these highlights that everyone should hear. In the talk I gave at CUNY City College, I pushed hard what it's like to build up a business starting from near nothing, and introduce someone to Shopify. I talk about the direction and status of retail to a room full of VC's, and pushed hard that being an "entrepreneur" running a startup isn't "easy". It doesn't just happen. Cant' wait for you to see what's in store for next week ;). ENJOY!

#AskGaryVee 253 | Hunter and Alexis Pence, Supporting Your Spouse and the Future of Sports

Sat, 20 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Get ready for this one guys because it's complete fire. I loved hanging with Hunter Pence, a MLB player for the San Francisco Giants and his wife Alexis Pence, a YouTuber and E-Sports gamer. We answered questions about where the future of sports (including e-sports!) is headed, how to react to others trying to change your personal mechanics, how our spouses have influenced us the most, and the NUMBER ONE thing we'd say to our high school selves, if could right now. Give it a listen guys, can't wait to hear your thoughts :)

How To Execute On Your Strengths and Passions

Fri, 19 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This clip from my Udemy course is key. Once you’re able to identify and combine both your passion AND strength, you’re setting yourself up to be successful. Combining my passion for wine and strength in building businesses led to the success of Wine Library and creation of VaynerMedia. Recognizing what your strengths & weaknesses are, and then reaching down into your DNA to find out exactly what and how you’re going to execute on those will without doubt push you towards success. Just because you’re an excellent marketer doesn’t mean you’re the best at creating every single video or piece of content. Look at what you’re best at and execute on them, and find someone that complements you to complete the pie. Listen deep to these lessons, learn them, and enjoy them!!

A Keynote: Expert Empires London

Thu, 18 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This keynote I gave in London was nothing but FIRE. As you guys might know, I prefer Q&A since most of my stuff is out there already, and in this one we answer questions about growing a successful business in one big shot versus slow and steady, how to decide when to say no to an opportunity, making mistakes in your business and career, and much more. Patience is key my friends. Nothing worthwhile has been built overnight and everyone selling you a short-term fix is selling you bullsh*t. Absolutely love talking in London and this interview was definitely one for the books. Please give it a listen!

A Keynote: CUNY City College

Wed, 17 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This keynote I gave at CUNY City College this past week was one for the books. I absolutely loved talking to these kids especially because I feel like I relate to them so closely because our upbringings were similar. My family and I were immigrants and nothing came easy. To all of you young entrepreneurs, the key is PATIENCE. It took me 20 years to build VaynerMedia. All the work that put me in a position to start the business didn't come easy and it took real time and effort. Nothing worthwhile happens easy so please don’t let the pedestal of entrepreneurship take over what you’re trying to accomplish. Shoot me a DM and let me know your thoughts on this one .. <3

A Talk At BCG Digital Ventures

Tue, 16 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Guys, this talk I gave at BCG Digital Ventures was great. Anyone that knows me knows my feelings on short term economics; they get in the way of the big picture and cause failure long term. I’m all about the long term game and the people in this room understood that. Attention is what you need to be investing in- look around. What are 99% of the people walking around you looking at? Their cell phone. This could change at a moment notice, but you need to be reacting to the world instead of struggling to drive it. Give this one a listen, you won’t regret it. ENJOY!! ;)

A Business Meeting With Fitness Model Paige Hathaway

Mon, 15 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Loved having fitness industry ground shaker Paige Hathaway and her crew stop by recently. They’re doing great things with her brand, and we sat down and chatted about pushing her audience growth and social strategies to the next level. Theres a few REALLY important key lessons in here; don’t be afraid to stay humble and work for free, if it’s the right opportunity. Listen up guys, this one’s a big one!!

This Week In Highlights | 5/8/2017

Sun, 14 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

From defining the difference between marketing and sales to understanding the cohesion needed between selling and delivering on the work to feeling good about what you're selling, this week was incredibly strong with some real tactical advice being deployed. If you're going to sell and be in it for the long term, you need to make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. Caring and truths will always win. There's just no other way around it. Hope you guys enjoy this week's highlights <3

An Interview: Get Off Your Ass & Get Noticed With Chase Jarvis

Sat, 13 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

A little while ago I got the chance to sit down with my man Chase Jarvis and talk about how to stand out when there’s so much chatter happening around you. Thumbstopping power is key right now. You need to be able to produce content that provides enough value that a consumer stops and watches your content instead of blowing right past it. Thinking you’re going to drive results within 90 days just isn’t going to happen. Deploying patience and keeping consistent, even if that consistency is in change is what you NEED to be doing if you’re trying to become successful. Give this one a listen and stick to it. DM me and let me know what you thought. :) :)

Sixteen Minutes of FIRE in London

Fri, 12 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This most recent trip to London was one for the books. Stop what you’re doing right now and give this a listen! In this one I dive into why big companies are “failing” and need to start re-thinking the way they handle their marketing. Influencer marketing isn’t being utilized nearly enough, and holds so much value compared to what’s being put out today. I truly believe we’re moving towards a more voice-driven model, so listen for my thoughts on ALEXA skills & why podcasts are massively growing, my own included. You won’t want to miss this one guys. Make sure you go check out DailyVee 223 along with this. ;)

#AskGaryVee 252 | KAI GREENE, GOING TO THE GYM EVERYDAY AND SELLING FITNESS PRODUCTS

Thu, 11 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

My man, professional bodybuilder and Arnold Classic winner Kai Greene co-hosted this episode with me. We sat down and chatted the importance of time management in a daily routine, making sure your priorities are in place, getting the motivation to get up and put in the work that puts you in the place you want to be (whether that’s getting to the gym in the morning or putting the work in on your brand). Not every day is going to be your best, but the only way to grow is by continuously putting the work in. LOVED answering call-in questions about what kind of clients you should be aiming for at any point in your career and how to ramp up and gain momentum. Don’t miss this one guys….It’s a BEAST. ENJOY :)

A Fireside Chat: VaynerMedia Interns

Wed, 10 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This one’s not just for every single young entrepreneur, or anyone that aspires to work at a place like VaynerMedia - it’s simply for everyone. The questions asked were incredible and stemmed from a group of young interns at VM. In this one we discuss what the most important year of my life was (it’s not what you think), the best way to work with and around your mentors and the people you look up to, taking a brick and mortar business and turning it into an online ecommerce brand, and exactly what I would have done differently if I could go back to college. Take this info to heart my friends - it's a really important talk and it would mean the world if you listened in. ENJOY !! ;)

A Compilation: Stop Overthinking Your Mistakes

Tue, 09 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Want to push towards success? Then take this one to heart. Everyone makes mistakes, but what you do with those mistakes is what makes you. Stop dwelling on them and use them as an example of what not to do again. Not one leader will tell you they’ve had everything go perfectly and exactly as planned. Take the shit that comes along with the riches and make your mistakes. Love this one guys, enjoy it :)

A Rant: My Thoughts on Company Culture & Office Design

Mon, 08 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

How your employees feel doesn’t depend on the free granola, or fancy amenities. Here’s what I really think about all those goodies. It narrows down to feeling safe and letting them know they have room to grow. It’s true, it really is. If your company has issues, installing a water fountain with a thousand flavors, or a beer tap isn’t going to cover it up and make everything all better. It comes down to the people and how they feel. Enjoy this one and think about what your company instills.

A Keynote: Advice to Young Startups in Chattanooga

Sun, 07 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Young entrepreneurs listen up! This one’s for you. If you’re gonna go start a business, there’s some tips in this you’re going to want to hear. Whether you’re B2B or B2C, building up a brand from the beginning is a delicate process, but there’s a few key insights here to make it easier. In this keynote, I talk about how culture is key to building a trusted brand, whether you should be advertising on Facebook or LinkedIN, and where I see Alexa & smart devices going. Stop rethinking your decisions & judging your moves, start betting on other people. This one’s total fire - can’t wait for you to hear it!! :)

This Week In Highlights | 5/1/2017

Sat, 06 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Guys this week was on point. Between hanging with NBA star Mason Plumlee and my keynote to some young entrepreneurs in Chattanooga this content is on fire. One more thing - if you’re graduating this month, make sure to check out my thoughts on what you should really be doing after college - I can't say how important it is you utilize this info. ENJOY this and see you next week ;)

An Interview WIth ONNIT CEO Aubrey Marcus | 40 Mins of FIRE

Fri, 05 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Here’s an interview with my man Aubrey Marcus, CEO of ONNIT, on his podcast. He’s a mastermind entrepreneur and fitness expert who built at $28 Million fitness brand in 5 years. I loved getting down into what makes a true entrepreneur - Staying true to your own DNA, not counting on other people to get you to that next level, and learning checking your feelings at the door, because nobody cares about you as much as you. Going to six birthday parties every week isn’t what’s going to push you ahead, so think hard about those negative patterns you’ve been set in. Make sure you tune into Aubrey’s podcast because this man knows what he’s talking about. You’re going to love it! ;)

A Q&A For Small Businesses

Thu, 04 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Small business owners, this one is for YOU. The questions here stem from the BioGuard conference I spoke at a few months back and boy were they fire. If you're a small business and you're looking to grow locally then it's a no-brainer that you need to harness the huge amount of tools sitting in front of you. In this one we cover questions relating to where to get started with social media (hint, Facebook Ads and down and dirty customer data) and why you NEED to learn to build social strategies into your existing markets. Provide value and keep attention by adding to a conversation - not just jumping straight into “WE SELL THAT!” mode. Would love to know what you guys think about this one !!

A Rant: WHAT TO DO AFTER COLLEGE

Wed, 03 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

COLLEGE GRADS LISTEN UP! You’re about to enter the part of your life where you make the most opportunity for yourself. Now’s the time to get out there. Now’s the time to be willing to work for nothing and get yourself to where you need to be. Stop craving the short term gains and think about where you want to be when this window is gone. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know exactly what you want to do - it only matters that this is the 5 year window for you to attack the life that you want to win. Class is easy. Life is not. Don’t forget this one!! DM me and let’s chat.

Work Harder: A Compilation

Tue, 02 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This is what it’s all about. Whether you’re growing a brand or starting a new company, there’s only one thing in your absolute control: WORK. Practice it. Preach it. Do whatever you gotta do because it’s the single most important thing in moving forward. Sleep has nothing to do with it. Sleep as much as you can as long as you're maximizing the hours that you're awake. There’s no success without sucking it up, putting in the time and pushing yourself harder to get where you want to be. Get hyped, and get ready to make it happen !! You're in full control.

A Keynote: VaynerMedia's First Daily Digital Deep Dive #4Ds

Mon, 01 May 2017 09:00:00 +0000

I am beyond PUMPED to bring you this one. The 4D’s is happening and this first session got me going. For those that don't know, it's a intimate day-long workshop/conference that VaynerMedia is offering throughout the year. The questions asked in this session were perfect and covered a variety of topics featured in our session. Anything from 'How to build a personal brand while balancing business,' family and your personal life, conquering the B2B space, and what to do if you’re feeling stuck and struggling. The guys in this session were incredible. Loved this one and I can’t wait for you guys to hear it! If you want to hop into a 4D session, hit us up at 4ds@vaynermedia.com!!

This Week in Highlights | 4/24/17

Sun, 30 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This week was one for the books. Between the NFL draft, John Legend and NBA star Mason Plumlee stopping by #AGV to chat about life and branding in the NBA, it just kept coming. Stay patient and confident my friends. Hope you all enjoy this week's recap. See you next week ;)

#AskGaryVee 251 | MASON PLUMLEE, ATHLETES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND IMPROVING YOUR JUMP SHOT

Sat, 29 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

NBA star Mason Plumlee co-hosts this episode of #AGV with me and boy was it FIRE. Moving through 3 teams in 4 years, Mason touches on what diving into social media as a pro athlete is like and defends the common misconceptions of the big leagues. Such a solid dude which made for one of the all-time episodes. ENJOY ;)

A Rant: Play to Be In 2020

Fri, 28 Apr 2017 10:14:32 +0000

Stop living in the SHORT TERM and think of what’s on the table further out. I can’t say this enough. If you want to be successful, it doesn’t matter what happens TOMORROW or NEXT WEEK. Think about what you need to happen to get you to where you want to be in 20 years and build towards that. -- ENJOY!!

A Keynote: USC's Business School

Thu, 27 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This talk at USC is not only one of my most popular talks but it's one of my FAVORITES and it gets me SO HYPED. This one was interesting because I was speaking to an entrepreneurship class and I just don't think you can learn to be an entrepreneur which makes for an interesting dynamic ;) To be successful you need to be adapting but stay loyal to your strengths. If you’re a true entrepreneur you understand the importance of taking your idea and running with it — there's no time to waste. You never know what tomorrow will bring and timing is massively important. These lessons don’t stop, no matter what stage of your career you're in. Macro-patience vs. Micro-speed is everything. Don't dwell on your mistakes and just keep moving forward. Give this one a listen because you do not want to miss it.

A Keynote: #SXSW 2017 LIVE Q&A

Wed, 26 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

This year’s SXSW was a HUGE one for me .. can’t believe it’s been 10 years already. Loved talking about the value of attention & why you NEED to stop listening to the negative people around you. The pressure is on for young entrepreneurs, but I truly believe this is the best time to be alive and going after whatever it is you want to. You never know what you’re going to get at a talk like this but because it was in Q&A format, you know I brought some FIRE. Make sure to tune in!

On this episode of #AskGaryVee, the LEGEND and Grammy Award winner John Legend stops by to talk “all of him”. We take calls about how the music industry is changing to a self-publishing world, diversifying into young markets, staying humble as an industry leader and defining expectations of others. SO much fun hanging out and having John on the show. Such an incredible guy. Hope you guys enjoy !!

An Interview on 'THE MFCEO Podcast' with Andy Frisella

Mon, 24 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Here's an interview with my homie Andy Frisella from about a year or so back. This guy brings some serious energy and we had a great chat alongside some of his boys from the way. He's the absolute model for what it means to 'Crush It' as he went out and built a massive business off the back of grit, patience, passion, and some smart branding. This one isn't for the faint of heart. Time to tune in and get fired up !!

This Week in Highlights | 4/17/2017

Sat, 22 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Another GREAT week in the books. From VaynerSports signing all-star wide receiver Braxton Miller, to a rant of mine that went viral, to #AGV with my main man and MissionU founder Adam Braun, to another week in the life of the CEO of VaynerMedia, we put some serious work in. Hope you guys enjoy this version of this week's highlights !!

A Rant: For All The Haters

Fri, 21 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

The other day while out in Austin I just got triggered. Something came over me and I needed to address it. I just can’t fathom the idea that people are listening to the negative that others are throwing their way. GUYS - we only have one shot at this. Why are we letting the poison that lives in others affect our lives? QUIT ALLOWING OTHER PEOPLE TO HINDER THE WAY YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE!!

#AskGaryVee 249 | ADAM BRAUN, MissionU, HOW TO DELEGATE & I PAY FOR A FIELD TRIP TO VAYNERMEDIA

Thu, 20 Apr 2017 18:05:47 +0000

Now he's on new "mission" with MissionU, bringing a new age thought to how we approach higher education. Such an important episode for so many reasons. Hope you guys enjoy!!

As True Today As It Was In 2009

Tue, 18 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Doesn't get better than this. Here's a clip from a 2009 interview where we discuss the power of personal branding, the future of media, and how technology was going to shape our lives.

Crazy to listen to all the things that were discussed in this interview and see how they actually played. Hope you guys enjoy !!

Sun, 16 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Hope you guys enjoy this one !!

An Interview with Salesforce

Sat, 15 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

I might have different tactics when it comes to sales but don't get it twisted because I'm a salesman through and through. Sales can be interpreted as a dirty word to a lot of people but at the end of the day, a business isn't a business without them. Since I've been a kid I've been in sales, and yes, I might like look a little different than what many people think of when they think 'salesman' but that doesn't mean I'm any different which is why I love doing events like this especially with a company as notable as Salesforce. So much fun in this one and hope you guys enjoy .. especially all my people in sales out there ;)

An Interview with The Pat McAfee Show

Fri, 14 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

On this one we cover all things social, building the foundation of a brand, and what it takes to get things to the next level when you're in the content game. This one was an absolute blast. Hope you guys enjoy and make sure to into Pat's show !! http://www.podcastone.com/the-pat-mcafee-show

Thu, 13 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

In this one we chat marketing, the music industry, and I just might have given him the keys to unlocking his next biggest song ; ) Tune in and let me know what you think !!

A Fireside Chat with Jessica Alba

Tue, 11 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

As some of you guys might know, over the last year I’ve been filming Apple’s new show ‘Planet of the Apps’ alongside Will.I.Am, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jessica Alba.

An Interview with Hot 97's Hot in Tech

Mon, 10 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

One of my all-time favorites for a number of reasons. In this one we go real deep in this one covering Amazon's Alexa, Snapchat becoming a brand, Apple vs. Facebook, Twitter being the next Myspace, and of course, my love for Hip Hop. Had so much fun with this interview. Make sure to check it out !!

A Keynote: Wieden+Kennedy London

Sun, 09 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Wieden+Kennedy is one of the largest, privately owned advertising agencies in the world. It was a great honor to speak in front of their London office and please believe me when I say that this was one of my best talks yet. For those that really want to see what my pulse is like when it comes to the advertising world, this is the talk you need to watch. So much insight and fire here. Love, love, love this one.

A Business Meeting with Apparel Company East Coast Lifestyle

Sat, 08 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Love these young hustlers doing their thing. Persistence is key, my friends. You don't always break through but you'll never know unless you persist. These guys had been knocking on my door for some time and they finally got to me. They visited me in NYC and we sat down to talk shop about where their business is and where they can take it. Nothing but love for how this team has approached their business and making the right chess moves to get things in motion. Make sure all you aspiring apparel company owners tune in !!

#AskGaryVee 248 |CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD, BLACK PRIVILEGE & STARTING TO LOVE YOURSELF

A One-on-One with a New Hire

Wed, 05 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Here's another one-on-one with a new VaynerMedia hire. As some of you know, I do my best to sit down with new hires at VaynerMedia within their first few months of being at the company. As my schedule gets crazier and the company gets bigger this is hard to do but even a quick few minutes can make all the difference. In this one I sit down with new hire Kenny and we talk about Kenny's past, how he got hired at VM, and what I suggest he do moving forward in order to make the best of his time with us. Would love for you guys to check this one out !!

Lonely At The Top | A Gary Vaynerchuk Original

Tue, 04 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Here's some special early access for my podcast listeners !! Later today we're releasing the short film to this audio and it's a message everybody needs to hear. Just because entrepreneurship is hot right now doesn't mean it's glamorous or for everybody. The truth is that it's hard and IT'S LONELY. When you're the head there's no blaming anybody else. When the buck stops with you, everything that's broken is your fault. I put out fires for a living. I'm a firefighter. Period. So if you're out there and you want to be a CEO or entrepreneur, you need to be ready to take all the pain that comes with it.

Mon, 03 Apr 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Here's a throwback to an interview I did last year during my book promotion period.

For those looking for some bite-sized gems, this is the one !!!

Here's 15 minutes of straight fire (and love ;)) from my time in Toronto a few months back.

#AskGaryVee Episode 247 | What's Inside?, Youtube Channel Tips & Becoming the Next Ellen

Fri, 31 Mar 2017 09:00:00 +0000

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this one. If any of you caught a recent DailyVee you know that I was a guest on the incredible YouTube channel, 'What's Inside.' If you don't know, they're a father and son duo who created a YouTube channel solely based on a science project they wanted to film one day. Not only have they grown that channel to more than 4 million subscribers but they are genuinely the greatest two people, incredibly smart, and I cannot wait to see what they do down the road. Unfortunately I can't say that my book 'Crush It!' influenced them directly but they are the absolute case study for what's possible in today's day and age. Would love to know what you guys think about this one !!

#AskGaryVee 246 | Logic, Music Producers, Aspiring YouTubers & Positive Energy

Thu, 30 Mar 2017 09:00:00 +0000

THIS IS THE ONE. I am so incredibly humbled and honored to be able to get to know this incredible talent Logic. Not only is he at the top of the game in his craft but he is an amazing person with the most humble of upbringings and whether or not you like hip-hop, you should definitely give this one a listen. One of the longest #AskGaryVees ever recorded and it's for good reason. Would love to know what you guys think !!

Patience | The One Word That Built My Success

Tue, 28 Mar 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Guys ... this is it. There's no secrets. There's no formulas. Nothing worth building was done overnight. There's so many of you trying to "make it" because you've got things to prove and people to impress but if you're doing it for any other reason than for yourself, you're going to lose. I wish I could make all you youngsters know how I feel right now in my body and mind at 41. YOU'VE GOT TIME. Focus on what'll make you happy - have the right intentions - and understand that nothing worthwhile in life comes easy. Please lend this one your ears !!

This Week in Highlights | 3/20/2017

In this week’s highlights, I speak to my company at an all-hands about rapid change and constant improvement, I talk to leaders about the importance of being in sync with your business circle (like ballerinas), and for those stuck on social media, to STOP worrying about how many 'likes' their content gets .. All that matters is that you're doing, adjusting, and learning.

A Compilation: Ideas Are Shit. Execution is Everything.

Fri, 24 Mar 2017 09:00:00 +0000

On this edition of the GaryVee Audio Experience, we’ve compiled clips surrounding one of my favorite mantras: ‘Ideas are shit. Execution is everything.'

A Keynote: CBT Automotive Conference and Expo

Mon, 20 Mar 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Had such a blast at this talk down in Atlanta, Georgia ! Not only did I have some old friends in the crowd that I dealt with in my Wine Library days, but to be able to talk to a crowd that large that falls within a specific vertical is just so much fun for me. In this one I got to speak in front 1,000 different dealers and vendors in the automotive space and for anyone who's in B2B, this one's for you... check it out!!

Sat, 18 Mar 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Personal Branding & Storytelling: In this week's compilation we highlight my journey as a 'personal brand,' the influence that Walt Disney and Vince McMahon had on me and the nature of storytelling, my time spent with Shonduras and Tanner Fox (two massive personal brands), and what it really takes to win in today's digital society ;)

Why is Everyone In a Rush?

Fri, 17 Mar 2017 09:00:00 +0000

In this compilation I go deep into my lifelong strategy of micro speed and macro patience. Just because Mark Zuckerberg put on a hoodie and built one of the biggest businesses in the world doesn't mean that EVERYONE can do the same. Mark is a special breed, who built a special product, at a special time. He's an assassin as a businessman and just because it feels like he did it overnight, doesn't mean that we all can become just as successful or even a fraction of it in the same amount of time. There's no shortcuts in life and everything that matters takes time. Stop rushing and looking for the easy way out because there is none - period. Please take a listen to this one as so many of you need to hear it.

The Ultimate Advice for Every 20 Year-Old

Thu, 16 Mar 2017 09:00:00 +0000

Guys - this might be the most important clip from any of my content TO-DATE. You're going to see it all over my channels today but the podcast listeners are first to get it !! This clip was taken from #AGV 244 where Taylor, a 22 year-old girl called in to the show. This conversation really struck a chord with me and I'm sure it comes through in this audio. Her actions just weren't mapping her desire and I know that her thought process is the same that so many youngins have and it's just not right. I hold ZERO punches in this one and I'd love for you to have a listen. Patience is the game, my friends. There's just no way around it.

Mon, 13 Mar 2017 09:00:00 +0000

DailyVee 179 | Investing in the Long Game

Fri, 10 Mar 2017 10:00:00 +0000

So we don't typically post DailyVees to the podcast because a lot of the context can get lost without the footage but this one was special, where I decided to talk through my day to provide the necessary context for all those watching and listening. The theme in this one is patience and is dedicated to everybody with a ‘I want it NOW’ mentality. Whether it’s the stock market, passing up on a 1st class plane ticket, or charging money for content… I THINK LONG TERM, and it pays off, LONG TERM. Remember, marathon runners don't win sprints. Hope you enjoy this one !!

After my day-trip, yes, day-trip to Australia last year, I flew out to Cleveland for an event and during my time there sat down with Josh Felber for the 'Making Bank' video series. This was during my book promotion period so the discussion is heavy around #AskGaryVee but nonetheless it's a fire interview. In this discussion we talk about my love for Q&A sessions, being a natural-born motivator, and what I want my final narrative to look like.

An Interview on the Future of Communication

Sun, 05 Mar 2017 10:00:00 +0000

In this one I sit down with Ireland's RTE News where I backup my #1 thesis in that the cell phone is the most powerful communication device in existence. From networking, social media, staying on top of trends, and simply communicating as humans, the cell phone sits at the center of it all and will continue to do so for quite some time.

This Week in Highlights | 2/27/2017

Fri, 03 Mar 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This must be my year because I've said this a few times but this definitely one of my strongest keynotes to-date. Not only is it a massive talk but it's followed by a super strong Q&A.

THIS ONE IS FIRE !!

A Fireside Chat with European Startups

Wed, 01 Mar 2017 10:00:00 +0000

A few weeks back, following the What's Next?! Conference in Belgium I sat down for a fireside chat in with a room of Belgian/European startups. With this small and intimate group we discuss the good ole days of when tech enthusiasts and entrepreneurs weren't cool or famous, how incentivized marketing (in my opinion) is bullsh*t, and what it's like to treat a business like your own child. Make sure you tune into this one because it's FIRE.

A Post-Keynote Intimate Q&A

Tue, 28 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

After the 'What's Next!?' Conference in Brussels a few weeks ago, I sat down with a small group to answer a bunch of questions following my talk. In this one we cover the current state of marketing, the difference between being a businessman versus a marketer, how I don't plan on selling VaynerMedia, winning over your boss's budget (or not), and as always, day-trading the market's attention in this ever-changing digital age. Love these post-keynote interviews because my energy levels are still charged up from my time on stage. Would love to know what you think !!

The Lack of Practicality in Today's Entrepreneurial Landscape

Mon, 27 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

PRACTICALITY. After finishing my keynote out in Dublin last week I was interviewed by some Irish press. In this one we cover the falsehoods of today's entrepreneurial landscape and the massive lack of practicality I'm seeing. Today, those who would've taken consulting gigs 10 years ago are starting businesses because that's the thing to do and it's easy to get money. But, what I'm concerned about, is what's going to happen when the money dries up. If you're not in because it's your truth you're not going to be able to make it out when things get hard and that's what worries me.

How to Side Hustle Outside of Your 9-to-5

Sun, 26 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Every time I sit down with my man James Altucher we have a blast and this last time was no different.

We have a special surprise in store for this clip coming out in video-form soon ;)

Long week grinding in NYC followed up by a day trip to Denver. In this week's highlight reel we cover clips discussing 8th place trophies, the importance of self-esteem, our lack of empathy in society, and not giving a f*&k when it comes to negative comments on social media.

An Interview with a Dublin Journalist

Fri, 24 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Last week I was out in Dublin for the Dublin Tech Summit. Such a great event and a huge thanks to everyone that show me love. In this interview we cover the evolution of communication, the truth about fake news, silence all the haters complaining about how the Internet has 'ruined' us, and the big question of does social media change us or expose us?

This Month in Rants

Thu, 23 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

A Keynote: What's Next?! Conference | Brussels, February 2017

Wed, 22 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Another fire talk with a with the team at Snackbytes in Brussels. In this one I take a different spin and hit on some things I don't normally touch on including the subjectivity of creative and the future of cohort marketing and how it plays with creative. BUT, what's most important is that there's 45 minutes of gold as we do one of my longest Q&A sessions !!!

A Facebook Live Q&A

Tue, 21 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

4 minutes of straight fire. In a recent DailyVee I decided to go live as filming on the weekends can be a little tough. I think I'm onto something here because this was GOLD. In this one we talk weaknesses, technology, content marketing, gaining exposure by doing spec work, and more.

A Rant: Why Dwelling Is The Wrong Strategy

Mon, 20 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Too many of you ponder, think, strategize, and are crippled by doing things without having a master plan in place .. and you're going to lose. Dwelling is just simply the wrong strategy. We're far too crippled by things we can't control and we need to stop. If you have something you want to do .. attack !! Get things in motion, adjust on the fly, and put the things in place to help you succeed. Especially when it comes to content creation, too many of you are striving for perfection and that desire for perfection is the single variable that's going to make you lose. Don't overthink it. Just do. You'll learn far more by being in the dirt than by dreaming in the clouds.

This Week in Highlights | 2/13/2017

Sat, 18 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode we highlight this week's best moments. From my talk in Ontario at Haste and Hustle, to my time on stage at Dublin's Tech Summit, to some of the best soundbites from this week's #AskGaryVee call-in show, we're trying to bring some new flavor to the podcast. Would love to know what you think !!

A Keynote: Haste and Hustle|Ontario 2017

Fri, 17 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Here's a talk I did last week in wonderful Ontario. As you'll see in DailyVee 156, me and everyone's favorite YouTuber Casey Neistat flew out together and shared the stage. This was more of an intimate talk than I'm accustomed to and that ensured that some real fire came out, especially in the Q&A. We're doing our best to get these talks out as soon as the event's are complete so I'd love to know what you guys think !! @GaryVee ;)

An Instagram Live Q&A

Thu, 16 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Here's a Q&A I did while in the car back from the airport. This one was gold because we cover a ton in just a car ride, including communicating with employees to set them up to win in the long term, overcoming the fear of failure, confronting those that bring you down, motivational speaking, establishing trust when trying to scale, and so much more.

#ClipIt: Being Pigeonholed

Wed, 15 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Here's a clip from a recent DailyVee that hit home for a lot of you. No matter who we are, where we're from, what we've done, people are always going to throw us into a box .. it's just the way people are. When I started the agency, everyone was saying "Oh, now wine boy is going to start a social media agency." They automatically wanted to keep me in the wine "box" through and through I was an operator and knew exactly what I was doing. So I hope this clip helps you put an end to being affected by people's opinions of you. Believe in yourself, focus on what makes you happy, and punch the haters in the face by actually executing on your dreams.

#AskGaryVee 241 | Rebuilding a Brand, Dropping out of High School, and Entrepreneurship in Venezuela

Tue, 14 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Another episode of the call-in showwwwwwwwwww. This one wasn't planned but we had some room in the schedule so we made it happen and that's what I like to call maximizing EVERY MINUTE of the day. In this one we cover questions about getting shut down by Instagram, putting all your eggs in one basket, dropping out of high school versus staying in, and the type of curriculum I would create if I were in charge of Venezuelan business classes. Tune-in and let me know what you think ! @GaryVee

How to Biz Dev Through Instagram's Direct Messages

Mon, 13 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This is one of my favorite moments of this past year. A simple but tactical piece of advice that SO MANY of you should be taken advantage of. You know how crazy it is that you can just "DM" someone on Instagram and get their attention? If Macho Man Randy Savage had an Instagram account back in the day and I knew that if I just hit him up enough times I might just get his attention, I would be ALL over it. We live in a world where we can essentially get to anybody we want to. For all of you who have a small business or who are looking to bring on new clients or contact influencers to help spread your message, it's all in the palm of your hand .. Start taking advantage of the tools we have and start making sh*t happen !!

Let's Make Positivity Louder

Sun, 12 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This message COULD NOT be more important to me .. In this day and age where the negative minority is so much louder than those that are actually happy with their lives, we need to take it upon ourselves to spread positive vibes. Everything we're told, everything we're sold, is based on this lie that we all need to be fixed in one way or another and that's just not true. It's time to build on our strengths, focus on our perspective, and bring out in others the positivity that just doesn't get highlighted enough. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. It's time !!

To open the doors he had me join him on stage for a great fireside chat and Q&A. Was so much fun seeing all my NYC peeps stop by and sharing the stage with my good pal Daymond. What an incredible space he's opened. Check this one out for some good ole fashioned heat and flames !!

Fri, 10 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Here's a FIRE talk I did a few weeks back in New Orleans. For those that know me well you'll know that my DNA is small business and retail. I rarely do this but the second I got off the stage I told my team that this talk needed to go public ASAP. A huge thanks to the guys at BioGuard Leadership Conference for having me. For all you working in the "small business" space, this one is VERY important.

A Young GaryVee Talking Business and Branding

Wed, 08 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

So interesting to look back and hear what I was talking about back almost 8 years ago. A lot of my pillar messaging still holds true today but of course the context of the conversation (and the world) has changed. A really important anecdote from this talk was how the self-esteem I had for myself helped trigger me to bring that same level confidence to people curious about the wine world. This talk was given back when I was promoting my first book, 'Crush It,' and I figured it would be appropriate to share now that the 2.0 version, 'Crushed It' is on its way :)

6-Minutes on How to Be More Confident

Tue, 07 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Self-esteem is the game, folks, and thankfully for me I was blessed with a mother who drilled that confidence in me from a very early age. It's time for us to stop focusing on what we perceive as our weaknesses or the fear of letting those around us down. At the end of the day, for all we know, there's only one shot at this, and I implore you to live a life that will lead to no regrets. It's definitely not easy but it's a north star we should all aspire to work towards.

A Keynote: AdExchanger Industry Preview

Mon, 06 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

For those that like the more industry-focused discussions, this one's for you. 26 minutes of fire. Nothing gets me more excited than talking to industry vets about the state of the union of where the advertising industry is (as I see it), and where it's going. It's so crazy to me the disconnect between sales and reported metrics. We're living in a time where the every day practitioners, those in the ad space, are acting so much differently in their personal lives than how they're selling in their work lives.

An Interview on First-Aid with Kelly Kinkaid

Sun, 05 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Had so much fun on this one with the ladies of First-Aid. I'm a huge fan of Sway in the Morning and this one was a blast. If you know me, you know I love Q&A and in this one we do a proper call-in show where I take questions from people all around the world. Here we talk personal branding, growing businesses through social, the future of digital, and the importance of listening.

A Tough Love Talk At Twitter for Twitter Employees

Sat, 04 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Here’s a FIRE talk I did at Twitter with Twitter employees. I hold zero punches in this one and give some tough love to a platform that’s very much responsible for my early notoriety. It pains me that Twitter hasn’t adapted much over the years and that it's not as impactful anymore (especially since I have such a large following there). In this one we go deep where I give them suggestions on how to update their platform, Periscope vs. other streaming platforms, how Twitter can beat Facebook, and how they can win the live event space.

Personal Branding Meeting with Legendary Lacrosse Player Paul Rabil

Fri, 03 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

In this one I sit down with the face of Lacrosse, Paul Rabil. Not only is he a beast on the field but he's a very knowledgable and savvy businessman. He gets things done and it was a real pleasure to sit down with him here and continue to get to know him outside of this first chat. Here's a good glimpse into how I approach people for the first time and like all things, play for the long-term marathon, not the sprint.

Go All In On Your Strengths

Thu, 02 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This might be the most important message I've been focusing on over the last few years. We're so good (especially in America) at exploiting eachother's weaknesses and selling us on ways to get 'better,' and I'm trying to do the reverse. I don't put out all of this content out for you to try and be like me. I'm just trying to give you the cover to use my day as a barometer for you to measure how you're building your success and happiness. At the end of the day, by knowing what you're good at and what makes you happy, and focusing all of your attention on those things, you will win. You don't need to be the best at everything. You just need to do what makes you happy.

An Interview with London's #MediaSnack

Wed, 01 Feb 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This was a blast of an interview I did when I was out in London for my book tour. In these 20 minutes we cover a lot, including media agencies, my thoughts on rebates, and even English "football" :) But in all seriousness, we discuss VaynerMedia's expansion plans, our move into London, media rebate investigations, and a bunch more. Check it out !! and for #MediaSnack episodes, look here: http://bit.ly/2jOcycC

#AskGaryVee 240 | Influencer Marketing, Personal Branding Strategy, & Changing the Education System

Tue, 31 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

28 MINUTES OF FIRE. Another episode of the call-in showwwwwwww and we go hard. In this one we tackle building platforms around influencer marketing, strategies for personal brands, and some tweaks the education system so desperately needs.

An Important Piece of Advice

Mon, 30 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Such an important message in this one and I would love for you guys to take a listen. This was one of the longer exchanges from the new #AGV format where the callers dial in. We went at it for 7-8 minutes and the advice I give is going to be surprising to a lot of you but the underlining message is SO important. Would love to hear what you think <3.

A First-Time Meeting with a New Hire

Sun, 29 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

For those that have been following along, you'll know that I do my best to sit down with every new VaynerMedia employee within the first few months they start working for us. Undoubtedly that gets harder and harder as we continue to grow but it's still something that's incredibly important to me to ensure I'm fostering relationships and a place of comfort for our new hires. Even if it's 5 minutes long, it's enough time to plant a seed for a healthy relationship. In this meeting you'll get a feel for how I navigate these convos and the advice I give to those looking to make an impression in their early days at the company. Take a listen and let me know what you think :)

A Business Meeting About Sales & Legacy

Sat, 28 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

In this one we get SUPER deep and it's not just about business and being a practitioner but it gets emotional and puts me in a place I rarely get to. My meeting here with Jordan from Craft & Commerce might just be one of the most powerful pieces of content we've ever put out. Not only do we discuss developing a business and being a leader but Jordan admits to me something incredibly personal and there's just no words to describe the way it made me feel. Intent is the game my friends and doing the right thing is just always the right thing. Drop me a line and let me know what you think about this one. <3

A Business & Branding Meeting with ASAP Ferg

Fri, 27 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Legendary Hip Hop artist ASAP Ferg stopped by the office to talk shop and man was it a great meeting. In this one we cover the current landscape of hip hop, culture, and the chess moves musicians need to be making in order to stay current in today's digital landscape. I love how these meetings are now being documented. It's so important and allows you guys to really get sense for how I navigate conversations and new relationships.

An Interview with TechMedia Co.

Thu, 26 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

For those looking for specific thoughts and advice about the current digital and marketing landscape, here's a great bite-sized interview for you. It might get lost in the audio so see below for the questions being asked.

Questions:

We know you’re very high on Snapchat and the potential for marketers. Are there any best practices you see for those already on the platform?

You've always been smart about timing and where to put your chips. What platforms are currently overpriced for performance aka the "banner ads" of platforms? What areas are still untapped and delivering the most bang for the buck?

Similarly, any new/emerging platforms you see on the cusp of breaking out?

Live video - Facebook Live, Periscope and others - where have you seen these platforms being used most successfully? Where does the potential lie to have the most impact for brands?

What’s your current view on podcasts/video podcasts? Where do they fit into a B2B or B2C marketers overall marketing plan?

My Second Interview on The Breakfast Club

Wed, 25 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Here's my second appearance on The Breakfast Club and boy is there some FIRE. Absolutely love the hosts of this show and the conversations we get into. In this one we talk hip hop, the journey to buy the Jets, the DNA of being a winner, and the love of the chase .. check it out !!

Charging Clients, Personal Brand or Business Brand, & Advice to a Senior in College | #AskGaryVee 239

Tue, 24 Jan 2017 18:18:23 +0000

Another episode of the call-in shooowwwwwwww. We go deep in this one and build a ton of context around the callers' initial questions. Love, love, love this format. Would love to know what you think. Tweet at me or leave a comment on IG at @GaryVee.

A Talk at Wieden+Kennedy London

Mon, 23 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

A Conversation About Being An Immigrant

Sun, 22 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

For those of you here that don't know, my family immigrated to the U.S. from Belarus when I was a young kid. The immigrant hustle is real and this talk will give the insight needed to understand what the struggle is like but also the advantages of being an immigrant. To me, being an immigrant is one of the fundamental reasons why I'm successful. Perspective is everything and this conversation definitely provides the perspective needed in order to make it, whether you're an immigrant or not.

A Meeting with a Young Fan

Sat, 21 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

It's incredible to me that this young winner who's been recognized by the White House, the UN, and a number of other prestigious entities has been affected enough by my content and what I put out there to reach out and try to work for me. It's just so incredibly humbling and I hope that that vibe comes through in our discussion. We talk about his future, the importance of self-awareness in his upbringing, social entrepreneurship, and my advice for how he should approach his future. Love the energy coming from this kid.

An Interview for the CBT Automotive Conference

Fri, 20 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Love this one because it speaks to the heart of me, Mom & Pop businesses. As most of you know I come from a small family business out in Jersey. I understand the dynamics between needing to make every dollar stretch and the complications that come from working in a family business. In this talk we discuss meritocracy, proving yourself to others, coming up in a family business, and the power of social when it comes to selling local. For those out in Atlanta in early March, come out and see me: http://cbtconferenceandexpo.com/

Entrepreneurs are the New Rappers

Wed, 18 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

It is INCREDIBLY difficult to build a successful consumer-facing app but we still live in a world where everyone thinks they can just start one. No matter what you're into in life, if you’re chasing the wrong things you’re going to lose. Period. You need to put your energy against the things that move you forward, not the things that are shiny in the moment. When I was starting my career, being an entrepreneur wasn’t cool. And sure it's cool now and I’m reaping the benefits but that doesn’t mean you can or should try and become an entrepreneur for those reasons.

An Interview About the State of the Advertising Industry

Tue, 17 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Here’s an interview I did where we discussed the decline of the print industry and how the companies in those spaces should navigate the obvious shift to digital. The thing is that it’s not just theory, it’s execution that matters. The issue we’re facing these days is that media companies that are selling print don’t have to put the same amount of effort or planning in print as they would in Facebook and it also doesn’t hurt that they’re reaping the benefits from higher margins. And don’t even get me started on the lack of metrics media companies are held to when pushing print campaigns … Listen for more on how the media industry is shifting and how legacy companies that don't adjust are going to die.

Audio Rant: How to Be Happy

Mon, 16 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

Not everyone can be the #1 in their space and that’s OKAY. It all just needs to map back to what you want and what makes you happy. If Basketball is your passion but if you have no shot in being in the NBA, I can assure you’d be far happier making $80K doing something basketball-related than $150K doing something that’s not. Get it? When you get to do what you want to do and that makes you happy, you’ve won.

Mobile Talk at #SXSW with Bonin Bough

Sun, 15 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This was a heated conversation at SXSW between me and my main man, Bonin Bough, C-level exec and host of CNBC’s Cleveland Hustles with LeBron James. At this talk we discuss brands texting consumers, email newsletters, the importance of time, virtual currency, and personalization when it comes to branding. This one gets heated because we butt heads quite a bit but I’m a big believer in that everything needs to be debated and that’s why this one’s a winner.

Audio Rant: Legacy in the Digital Age

Sat, 14 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

The fact that my great, great grandchildren are going to be the ones who think I am the first person of our family tree just because of the content I’ve produced is an extremely meaningful thing and it can’t be taken lightly. How many of you can say they were impacted by their great, great grandparents? Thought so. And knowing that, I need to be the barometer for what the Vaynerchuk name carries. We’re all on the record for the rest of time so let’s make sure we act like it when we put ourselves out there.

#AskGaryVee 238 | Jewel, Never Broken, Mental Health, Staying Happy & the Future of Music

Fri, 13 Jan 2017 17:41:12 +0000

The legendary JEWEL co-hosts this episode of #AskGaryVee !!! Such an incredible honor getting to jam with Jewel on this episode, but more importantly it was CRAZY to see how in-sync our thoughts are. She has such great energy in this episode and for those that have been staying close to me, you'll really get to see how in-line our thinking is. Check it out and let me know what you think!

An Interview with The Drum in London

Thu, 12 Jan 2017 22:03:13 +0000

This one is all-time fire. I was lucky enough to sit with The Drum in an intimate setting in front of 100 people for what is sure to be one of my best interviews. We cover a lot but at the top of the list is Virtual Reality, the thought of everyone being a media company, and the true worth of a 'personal brand.' Save this one for your longer commutes (or workouts) because you're not going to want to cut this short ;)

Audio Rant: How I Find Time for Myself

Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This question always trips me up because the truth is that what many perceive as my 'work,' I look at as my free time. I've made mine. I could do anything in the world and what I choose to do is build businesses. It’s my game. It’s my hobby. It’s what I want to do with my time. It's what I love and I implore you to work to do what makes you happy. That’s the whole thesis behind 'Crush It' - building a living based on something you love and are passionate about.

A Business Meeting with a New VaynerMedia Employee

Tue, 10 Jan 2017 15:30:53 +0000

In this clip I sit down with a new hire to discuss their experience with the company so far. For all those looking to lead and build teams, here's some good insight on how to level with your employees and make them feel comfortable enough to open up to you. In this clip we discuss company culture, teams, but also side hustles, the difference between SEO and Social Media in amplifying one's brand, and the value of relationships in one's professional career.

There's Only a Few Ways to Run a Business

Tue, 10 Jan 2017 00:05:39 +0000

This is a one-on-one discussion I had with a young entrepreneur out in London. He was in the early days of his business trying to scale without having much infrastructure to support his goals. At the end of the day, it just boiled down to understanding his strengths and shortcomings. Some necessary tough love here but one that many young and aspiring entrepreneurs need to here.

#AskGaryVee 237 | Eating Shit for 24 Months, Doing What You Love & Monetizing Your Strengths

Thu, 05 Jan 2017 17:37:55 +0000

Another version of the call-in shooooooooww! This one is short, sweet, and POWERFUL. I'm super excited about this format because it allows me to develop real context with the questions and the people asking them. I get a feel for their energy, we can elaborate and discuss more detail, and all in all it's just a much better cadence. Let me know what you think of this !!

A Business Meeting with THE EIGHTH; A Men's Luxury Underwear Line

Wed, 04 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000

This is the first of a new episode format that I'm going to be releasing more often: business meetings! Unedited from start to beginning! I wanted to give all you listeners a peek into I how conduct meetings and what it's like to be in a strategy meeting with me and my team. In this first installment of meetings, I sit down and talk with The Eighth, a fairly new retail business attacking the white space they saw in the men's luxury underwear market. We discuss their early days in researching and identifying the market, luxury branding, SEM and SEO approaches, influencer marketing, content creation and the importance of documenting versus creating. For the listeners that have asked in the past, this is some really good insight into how I approach introductory business meetings, evaluate the viability of new businesses, and suggest marketing strategies. Thanks for listening, excited to hear your thoughts and learnings from this one.

#AskGaryVee 236 | Parenting for Self-esteem, Dealing with Confrontation & Moving to Florida

Tue, 03 Jan 2017 22:29:37 +0000

WE'RE BACK. On this episode we take call-ins from a live audience and cover everything from from parenting, self-esteem, dealing with confrontation, and taking a seasonal business to a warmer climate. I really enjoy this format because it allows for more context to develop between myself and the audience asking the questions. I'd love to hear what you think because I think this is going to be the new format to the shoooooooow !!

ONE LIFE

An Interview: Real Biz with ABC's Rebecca Jarvis

Thu, 29 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Short and sweet but with some punch ;) We talk about how I perceive advice and how it affects the way I operate in my day to day. Something a lot of you need to hear.

An Interview: LARRY KING NOW

Wed, 28 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

THE KING. What an incredible, incredible honor to be interviewed by the one and only, THE LEGENDARY, Larry King. Not only is he the best to ever do it but he's the purest example of what it means to love what you do and do it to the end. There's a reason why he's still working; He found his passion and he continues to execute. Not only was this moment monumental in context but MANY say this is my best interview ever. If you're still trying to get to know me, this is one of the best examples to draw from. <3

A Classic: An Interview with CNN's Piers Morgan

Tue, 27 Dec 2016 17:00:00 +0000

Sometimes you just need to go back to the classics and this is one of them. Back in 2011 I went on Piers' show to discuss my book, 'The Thank You Economy,' which is quietly my best book yet ;) PLEASE give this a listen because the things we discuss still hold SO true today. It's crazy that this was nearly 6 years ago because the thinking in it still propels the way social media has affected business, marketing, social norms and the development of today's society, especially in regards to political climates. LOVE this one.

An Interview: Pure Sweat Basketball Podcast w/ Alan Stein

Tue, 27 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

This one was a blast. Alan Stein is a vet in the performance coach space and just a stand-up dude. Loved this interview because we talked about life and business through the lens of sports which for those that know me, know I love so much !!

A Keynote: INBOUND 2016

Mon, 26 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

What an event. The guys at INBOUND went above and beyond this year. As per usual I brought some fire to the stage and we discuss a lot of executable tactics that many of you could be using in your day to day.

My 2017 Manifesto

Sun, 25 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Happy holidays from Gary and Team GV. Let's do what we can to make this the best year ever. No looking back. Move forward, work to match your ambition, and do what makes you happy. You deserve it. Let's go !!

An Interview: Hot 97's Hot in Tech

Sat, 24 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

We go real deep in this one covering Amazon's Alexa, Snapchat becoming a brand, Apple vs. Facebook, Twitter being the next Myspace, and of course, my love for Hip Hop. Had so much fun with this interview. Make sure to check it out !!

A Keynote: Traffic & Conversion Summit 2016

Fri, 23 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Such a great event filled with a lot of my homies from throughout the years. We talk a lot about internet marketing and current shifts in today's digital and technology landscapes. A lot of fun here. Definitely worth the listen if you're looking to take your online game to new heights.

A keynote: Life on Fire Conference

Thu, 22 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

An oldie but goodie. Back when I was, let's say, a little less "in-shape" ;) But, this needs to be here. It's one of my all time greats. A lot of fire, truth, and hopefully value for you. Let me know what you think! Tweet me: @GaryVee.

A keynote: Amplify Live Experience 2016

Tue, 20 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

I usually end my talks with a Q&A. It's a good way for me to level with the crowd and answer people's questions on a 1-to-1 basis. Truthfully, I'd rather do Q&As than keynotes because I believe there's so much more value there. Anyways, this is one of those events where I just didn't want to leave the stage. Great discussion. Great people .. And it doesn't hurt that they tried testing me on my baseball card knowledge and I absolutely CRUSHED that game ;)

Fireside Chat w/ VaynerMedia Interns

Mon, 19 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

So much love for anyone who decides to intern with us at VaynerMedia. Means the absolute world to me and there's nothing better than seeing those same interns come work for us full-time when they're ready. This is a talk I gave to this past summer's interns at VM. Such a great discussion and I made sure I did my best to be as open and honest to them about how to approach their time here and the years to follow. For anyone in their position or know people that might be, I suggest you take a listen. Nothing fluffy here ;)

A keynote: Beachbody Coach Summit 2016

Sun, 18 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

What an event. Something like 20,000+ Beachbody coaches all fired up to build their own businesses. I love the fitness industry but just like in fitness, your business is never going to grow unless you put the work in day-in and day-out. Such an honor and pleasure to speak in front of so many hustlers, BUT, that doesn't mean they didn't need some extra fire to get them going. Believe me, I BROUGHT IT. This one needs a listen.

A keynote: Inman Connect Conference 2016

Sat, 17 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

Some more fire for you from Inman Connect in San Francisco this past Summer. I posted this video on my YT channel and the comments were super positive. Had to post it here for you guys !

A Talk: WeWork Boston 2016

Fri, 16 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

This is one of those special ones -- A small group but a powerful discussion. There's a lot of things that I touch upon when I speak and usually it depends on the context of the room, but for whatever reason this one hits on all pillars which makes it such a special discussion (not to mention it was during my book tour so naturally I was bringing the fire :)). Probably one of my top 5 talks if not higher.

A Keynote: ANA Masters of Marketing Conference

Thu, 15 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

THIS ONE WAS FIRE. Nothing gets me more excited than to be in a room full of industry folks and lay it out how I see it. For a lot of you haven't heard me speak specifically to the state of the union of the marketing and advertising industry, this is the one to listen to.

The Late Night Show with Tev Finger

Wed, 14 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

My man Tev is an absolute beast. He's a very successful entrepreneur in the beauty industry and he was gracious enough to have me speak at his event as well as be on his show. This interview was done first thing in the morning so there's definitely a particular kind of energy here so I suggest you take a listen. From one businessman to another, this was a fun one.

A Keynote: Web Summit 2016, Lisbon, Portugal

Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:00:00 +0000

This talk at Web Summit in Lisbon was absolute fire. They put an incredible event on and I just brought it. It's one of the biggest conferences in the world and you know me, I like a crowd :) Take a listen if you haven't seen or heard it yet.

Positvity on Offense with Z100's Elvis Duran

Mon, 12 Dec 2016 21:12:01 +0000

Positivity is the only speed I know. Unfortunately we're living in a world where only the negative minority is heard, but if I had it my way, we'd make the positivity much louder. I've said it once and I'll say it again, my glass is always half full, even if all I've got is a drop. We need to stop focusing on the past and putting our energy into moving forward and being optimistic.

#QOTD What do you think is the future of employment, now that we have robotics and AI and what are your solutions if in fact we see a lot of jobs go away? How would you solve the problem of a society with 20% less jobs available? Which would increase unemployment. What if we lived in a world where majority of the people couldnt find a job and only half the people were employed? How would you solve for this in a creative way?

HOW I GOT HEALTHY https://medium.com/@garyvee/how-i-fin...

A Short: The Current State of Fitness Entrepreneurs

Wed, 25 Nov 2015 17:21:15 +0000

In the last sixteen months of my life, I've changed something major about myself: I've started being healthy.

A year and a half ago, I was eating like crap, not working out, and generally feeling awful. It was a tough life, and I realized quickly that I couldn't sustain a life like that. It was impossible. So I hired a trainer to force me to be better. I made an enormous lifestyle shift, and I am so happy I did.

But it made me realize something about the current state of fitness entrepreneurs. And I want to shine a light on it.

Everybody defaults to what comes easy to them. That should be obvious. But greatness comes from adversity; it comes from looking a challenge directly in the eye and having the fortitude to step up and go after it.

This is what's going on with the fitness want-repreneur world right now.

Everyone is going for what is easy. And that isn't going to pan out if they are serious about becoming a business person. Just like I knew being a great business person wouldn't pan out if I didn't get healthy.

Fitness entrepreneurs want to do the minimal work and still expect a huge return. It's easy for fitness entrepreneurs to do the push ups, to do the squats and deadlifts because that is exactly what got them to where they are now. They started in fitness and now they want to make money just by having those guns or that body. They default into what is easy without recognizing what is hard: running an actual business.

You know what was hard for me? Waking up early. Not eating what I wanted to eat. Powering through workouts. Yet it was easy to build 50M dollar businesses.

I wanted to pass off getting up and running. I wanted to pass off lifting, squatting, stretching. I didn't want to do it. But I had no problem working eighteen hours a day, taking meeting after meeting, and putting in the actual work.

Fitness "entrepreneurs" want to pass on replying to tweets all day to get the word out. They want to pass off the marketing. They want to pass off working hard to create a great interesting post, or doing a bunch of podcasts to get a larger audience. They want to go straight for the mirror selfie so you can get a bunch of Instagram likes, then call that their "business".

Well guess what? It's not good enough.

I have sympathy for how long it can take for something to come together in a big way. I get thousands and thousands of emails a year from people saying they've been working for months at something and they aren't seeing results. It can be disheartening. In a weird way, working out has shown me that more than anything else. I've been working out for sixteen months now and I'm happy, but if you told me sixteen months ago that this what I would have by now, I might say "Ehhhh…"

But the reverse is far worse.

That's why I say to you: just start the work now. Do it. Work hard. Be diligent. Do not let up. You have the body. You have the chops. You did all that. Now get to the business side of things and grow that muscle too.

Self-Awareness Part 2: The Key to Success

Fri, 02 Oct 2015 19:01:27 +0000

Everyone who watches this has one weakness they are aware of. Something they aren't good at. Something they haven't addressed. Everyone. That is the beginning of the process of self-awareness.

One of the most important things for me when it comes to running a team is making everyone feel safe. Because when people feel safe, they start telling the truth. And that is an enormous upside in running a business. If everyone can be honest with themselves, be truthful about who they actually are versus who they want to be, that is when the magic happens.

This video speaks to all of that, and more. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know in the comments what you think, and would love to hear your story about self-awareness.

MY NEWEST ARTICLE https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/never-automate-human-interactions-1172387580.html

Many things I say are contradictions. I like pulling from both directions because it brings strengths. I really do think that life and business are bridges, and if you pull hard in both directions, you'll find balance. For example, ego and humility. You need both, but you can't have to much of one. Same with clouds and dirt, aka, higher level and execution.

So when I say don't pay attention to small details, but I also say play to your strengths but your strength is attention to detail, I understand it can be hard to figure out what to do. But I have an idea. If your strength is attention to detail but you're looking for long term business success, there are some things you need to consider.

First, if you're top dog, your business is going to be small. But you would be an awesome number two three or four to a top dog. You need to pair yourself with someone who only thinks about the clouds and isn't down in the dirt like you are. You might even be happier not having the pressure of being number one because it will allow you to pay attention to those small details you would not normally be able to. Attach yourself to a number one and bet on your strengths.

If your strength is finite details, your upside is limited as the number one. You have two decisions to make. One, you're cool with that. Or two, you're going to latch on to someone who will be able to elevate your work and your eight or twenty percent will be greater than the a hundred percent you do for yourself.

REASONS TO NEVER AUTOMATE https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/never-...
RANT ON AUTOMATION https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLxqG...

I think I need to clarify my POV on automation. So here I go.

I don't like automation when it's replacing something that could and should be done by a human. For example, I don't like the idea of an automatic direct message that sends when you follow somebody, or somebody follows you. It feels very spammy.

However, automation does some times make sense. We use it at Wine Library. When your order is confirmed, we send an email that says "Hey, your order is ready."

There is a fine line between what one would quantify as the thing that a human should do and the thing a computer should do. When automation tries to take the place of a human, that is when things get weird. When you use a computer to automatically populate names into mass emails that are SUPPOSED to look personal, that's messed up. When you sign an automation with your own name as if you did, that is also messed up.

To me, it all comes around to the intent of the automation. If you're trying to "trick" someone into thinking it's a person, that is where things get tricky.

One would argue that automating makes for a lot of conversion. But for me, I think there is more value in someone reaching out personally. I don't want a computer to be responding to you as me. When I have free moments, I try to answer every email I get. Personally.

So automation makes sense for a lot of things. But people are trying to use it to scale humans when there is a human element that matters. Ask yourself right now: does automation bug you when it tries to be human?

The answer is YES.

The Importance of Self-Awareness

Thu, 21 May 2015 20:20:29 +0000

There is something that is rarely talked about in the business world and I want to start building more attention for it.

That thing is self-awareness.

I’m upset that the narrative these days is that everyone needs to be number one, own a company, be in charge. A lot of people are going to lose that way.

Self-awareness allows people to recognize what things they do best so they can then go hard on those aspects of their life. It also helps you accept your weaknesses.

What works for one person doesn’t work for everyone. I want people to learn to be at peace with themselves, to understand what they can offer, because everyone’s got something. The key, however, is learning how to find it.

Self-awareness can help you do that.

Self-awareness is being able to accept your weaknesses while focusing all of your attention on your strengths.

The moment you decide to accept your shortcomings and bet entirely on your strengths, things will change. Trust me.

FAITHBOX: http://faithbox.com/

I truly don't think that when I'm being selfish, it comes at the detriment of someone else.

So that's how I handle it.

That can be a hard thing to make yourself believe. Watching someone else have a hard time because of a decision you made is extremely upsetting to a lot of people. But I have a way to justify it.

When I'm in my most selfish place, I don't try to conceal the act in some way that hides what it is. I don't try to sugar coat or act like it's a good thing. Let them be upset because that is their right.

Even though I am doing something that looks selfish to benefit me in the short term, it is actually going to positively affect the people it involves in the long term. I am making a decision in a five month window instead of a five year window, but history will allow that person to feel that it was palatable when they rekindle their thoughts around it. Even though it might sting or not feel as great in the short term, I know that looking back, it will be okay. Because I made the decision that was hard, but right.

OPTIMIZE YOUR FB PRESENCE: https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/facebook-tips-for-businesses-984995079.html

When people start their pitches to me by saying "But first, please sign this NDA so our ideas don't get stolen", I immediately check out. Why? Because if you actually think in 2015 that your idea is so profound and nobody has ever thought of it, then you are lost in the reality of the marketplace. If that is your mindset, I don't see that as a winning mindset. Starting now, 2015 and beyond, the days of patenting ideas, IP being stolen, are gone. Every idea has been thought of. All of them. I mean it.

Now, people actually executing on those ideas? That is the big one now. You need to have the right resources, be in the right place in your career, have energy, skills, opportunities: those are the variables. Not the ideas.

Dreams, Ethics, & The DMV

Description:

#QOTD: How many dreams do you remember in the morning?

#LINKS

BASKETBALL WITH GV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70D_FSxgIgE

There is nothing the DMV can do to improve their situation. Let me explain why. Because they are run by the state. So, it's political. They won't fix it. The only way to fix DMVs is the privatize them and let entrepreneurs run them. They, for a change, will actually care about the customer. Employees will care, because they would have incentives. Maybe they would even put Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts inside of the DMVs, to make more money on the rent.

Basically, privatized DMVs would innovate. Care. Give a crap. All the things that government industries don't do because it is not in their best interest. The people that can't innovate and can't win in a competitive landscape default to having terrible careless services.

I don't want to be a hardcore capitalist on this issue, though. But I really don't know. If you don't incentivize humans somehow to do the right thing, you can't win. AND...more and more, in a digital world, it's become easier to do that. There is no excuse any more. There are alternatives.

People will pay for anything...if they perceive it has value. If there was an #AskGaryVee Show in 1967 and I got a question like this, I'd say something like "Hey groovy cats, it's the AskGaryVee Show. Dawn, your question is like asking if people will pay for water. No way!" That would be the WRONG answer. What happened was that Poland Springs, and probably a lot of brands before Poland Springs, came along and convinced people that bottled water had value. Here's a fun weekend activity: go ask your grandparents what they thought about the idea of people paying for water.

In fact, think about how you feel. A $4 bottle of water in an airport? We've all done it. It's an absolute brain twist.

So yes, people will pay for answers from experts on live streaming apps. Even though you can watch now for free, people will stay end up paying down the road.

Now the question is: are you good enough to charge people? Have you built up equity? Have you put in the WORK?

And more importantly, how many people have built up that presence and have the charisma and ability to charge per answer.

The people that have pulled it off have had to be in an interesting part of their career, or they really enjoyed it. I love Q&As so much that I do this show for me. Do you have the chops to make it happen for you?

Jack & Suzy Welch Talk About Efficiency, Creativity, & Failure

#QOTD, from Suzy Welch: In our book we make the case that the place you should be working is something we call your "area of destiny." It's the intersection of what you're uniquely good at and what you love to do. How many of you feel that you are currently working in your area of destiny?

How important is failure? The failure has to be quantified. If you fail and then can never get up from it again, that's not a good kind of failure. Failure and adversity are the two things I think about. For me, as an entrepreneur, all my failures along the way have been a lesson. I'm even thinking back to when I attended my first baseball card trade show. I bought a table at 13 for $400 and nobody showed up. That was a lesson. Those micro failures were super super important. But it also depends on your stomach. If you really go out of business, people can go one of two ways. Either they're just finished and they're never able to get off the mat, or they go in a different direction. So to me, quantifying the failure is important.

Disney's Magic Band, Selling Stuff on Meerkat & Safety First

What do I think about Disney investing in the Magic Band, and the future of wearable tech in general? You know the answer. This is an interesting question because this is the kind of future that is inevitable. Smart, wearable technologies is going to eat up the world. Everything in the world will be smart. All of it. ALL of it. Your shirt. Your pants. Your underwear. Your socks. It's all coming over the next ten to twenty to thirty years.

It allows things that are physical to go so much further in the digital world. The layering and ammo that this gives Disney in that upfront investment is extraordinary. The recall, the content pushing out, the unlocking new virtual features - all of a sudden now, they have the ability to change the flow of the park. One of the things that I am most fascinated by right now as a retailer is efficiency. Efficiency everywhere. In an airport, an amusement park, or a retail store. Where do you know there are always going to be congested areas? Then, where are the places people just aren't going? Now imagine slapping some technology on a rock all the way in left field that requires people to go there. Now you're moving people there, making less lines. People are buying more food; even a fourth of a hot dog adds up to a lot.

Those are the things you need to be thinking about. The Apple Watch is going to be a game changer whether it is successful or not. I do have one on pre-order, and I think that buzzing on your body that saves you time (and you know how I feel about time) from looking at your phone is super huge. If it clicks the way the smartphone did, you'll start having people at scale with it. The watch.

Look at it for your business if you produce stuff. As an investor, I'm looking at companies getting involved in it.

The Straightest Road to Success

Wed, 15 Apr 2015 13:32:56 +0000

What would you say is the the biggest obstacle to your success right now? A lack of time? Maybe a lack of capital? Or maybe a lack of good employees?

Nope. All wrong.

The biggest obstacle to success is a lack of optimism.

I’ll back up.

The fact that people go straight to any other answer is the problem in itself. Money and time are, of course, difficulties. When I started WineLibrary, I had time but we didn’t necessarily have the money. So it took more time. Today, I have the money, but boy do I not have the time. Fact is, though, that neither should ever be an excuse. They weren’t for me, and they shouldn’t be for you.

This is something I really need everyone to understand. No one should ever point to time or money as an obstacle. They are firmly in the excuses column, and I have no patience for that. I will never make an excuse. Everything that is a problem with me, everything I don’t achieve and everything wrong with VaynerMedia is my fault. I succumb to that, I respect that, and that’s how I think it should be. No excuses. Even more so, you shouldn’t let yourself have patience for excuses either. Train yourself to believe this, and you will see amazing results. No joke. There will always be problems, and you need to get out of the mindset that they are obstacles because you should already assume they will be there. They’re just part of the path, my friend.

Because guess what? There are about a million other things that could stop success in it’s tracks. The health and well being of your family. The world is changing. The media, bad coverage of you. I’m a human being, and I always wonder what would happen if I say the wrong thing. Any of these things could happen, but they are the same thing: excuses.

There are a million reasons why not, but there is one good reason why, which is this: you just have to persevere.

No matter what happens, it’s the way it is, and you have to keep going. And that is where the optimism lives. If you truly believe that you can do it no matter what, you’ve got this. The only reason you might bring up any of the previous excuses we talked about is because you DON’T believe, right? Do not let that kind of thinking ever get in the way.

So. You can pick time. You can pick money. Pick any one or two things that you think stop you from winning your game. But the truth is there are a million reasons. Get thicker skin. Build up your self esteem. To be able to get through, you need to have optimism. Every day is hard, and all you have to fight it in the end is yourself.

The best piece of advice i can give on delegating is very much up in the clouds, but you know me: I'm a clouds and dirt guy. ;) I'm pretty great at delegating, and I'll tell you the middle one rule to delegating well: recognize that 99.9% of things don't mean shit. If you actually think it's not that important, it becomes a hell of a lot easier to let someone else do it. If you recognize that someone else's 7.7 point skills are completely acceptable for a task in place of your 10 point skills, do it. It's all about humility. Ego is the issue with delegation. Even though I have a ton of ego, I have a boatload more of humility than you think.

We haven't talked enough about Pinterest on this show. I am a huge believer in Pinterest's product. You might have noticed recently that they've created a term of service in which you can't do affiliate sales. I think that means that they are going to be running that for themselves. If you start thinking about the amount of commerce that goes on on Pinterest, even if thye make 5% of every transaction, it could easily be one of the 5 to 10 top companies in revenue in the digital space.

Like I said, I'm a big believer in the business. We've seen great results already in a company that my fund, VaynerRSE, is incubating: Faith Box. We ran some promoted pins to great success. We're also definitely seeing it in clients here at Vayner. Wine Library, same thing. I'm massively bullish. In fact, I think that Pinterest's ad product is going to be huge. 18 months from today, we will come back to this video and create a piece of content to talk about this video where I make this claim: Pinterest's ad product is a MAJOR competitor to Google AdWords for e-comm businesses. There. I said it.

I highly recommend you look into the service if you're selling something on a dot-com. Get serious about understanding the product. Now.

In 2003, 2004, and 2005, it was very commonplace to use the internet to drive someone to your home. As in, "Come here to consume me." "Visit me here." Now what we are seeing more is "I'm over here. If you want to know what's up, you better learn how to speak to me here."

What's happened is that the attention graph (my biggest priority right now) is shifting. People's willingness to jump somewhere to consume is certainly not down. The truth is, social networks, specifically Twitter and Facebook and Pinterest are really gateway drug pieces of content to drive to the aforementioned "home": a blog. An e-commerce site. Your download page for your app.

What's changed is people understand that they need a great skill and a great storytelling tactic to share with their social networks. They understand that they need to be that first impression to catch people's attention.

How have I had two long format web shows in a world where things should be kept short? It's quite simple really. The thing is, when it comes to content, quality trumps everything. Back in the day, companies like Yahoo would fly me out to their headquarters to try and help then figure out their long format shows. Why was WineLibraryTV doing so well? The real answer was easy: quality is quality is quality. If I can put out a fifteen or thirty minute show and captive an audience, then it has a chance of doing well. If I can't, then it won't. It's not complicated. There are plenty of shit fourteen second videos. There are plenty of "never get off the ground" one minute shows. You'll watch a three hour movie cause it's good, but you will not watch a fifteen second commercial because it's crap.

The length is not the variable in determining the quality. Neither is the sound or lighting or production. It is the message, the message, the message.

But of course having DRock around has made stuff much better. :)

Meerkat: http://meerkatapp.co/
Periscope: https://twitter.com/periscopeco

Peer to peer live interactions are clearly here, and on the rise. Snapchat dabbled in it with their new chat function that launched about a year ago. Now Meerkat has been getting a lot of press around their new product.

However, if I were Meerkat, I would be very worried right now.

Twitter’s recent acquisition of the company Periscope (which is still just in beta testing) is not the best news for them. If it functions the same as Meerkat, which it is rumored to, they will have an advantage over Meerkat that will be very tough to overcome. The advantage? Native in feed. Because Periscope will be owned by Twitter, the seamless transition between the apps is inevitable, and we will probably see embedded images, and maybe even the ability to watch live streams in feed. As of right now, Meerkat pushes a tweet out on your behalf that is nothing but text and a short link. Not super eye catching in the feed, nor is it very user friendly.

Integration between platforms is key; it’s one reason Vine was able to take off so quickly. Users want an easy, friendly experience that allows them to interact with all platforms equally. But platforms don’t always play nice. You may notice that when you push an Instagram photo to Twitter, it appears merely as a link, no visual whatsoever. However, Vine transitions with no problem. This is the upper hand that Periscope will have.

So I would be concerned for Meerkat. Absolutely. But truly, we’ll have to wait and see how this pans out. If it’s a fast move by Twitter to integrate, it could be bad. But maybe not. When Facebook launched check-ins, everyone said Foursquare was dead. That didn’t happen. Both have survived and evolved.

But Meerkat is built on top of Twitter, from the sign in to the push outs. It relies on Twitter for all the aspects of its platform, except for the actual streaming part, which happens in app. So it is bound to be a different situation than Facebook and Foursquare, which were separate entities entirely to begin with. And I’ll be watching to see what happens. I absolutely plan on using Periscope so I can compare it to Meerkat. I see a scenario where this is detrimental to Meerkat, but I also see a scenario where Twitter tries to see if both can survive.

The amount of "buts" I hear is actually stunningly overwhelming. I pride myself on not being a but guy (no double meaning intended). The buts that I hear the most are "I didn't have any money", "I didn't have a chance", "I grew up in a poor neighborhood", "I didn't have a mentor". People are loaded with buts in life; that's why the majority of people fall into a standard life.

For me personally, my "but" is usually that I love the process and the climb. If I don't achieve the maximum upside in my career, it's going to be predicated on the fact that I loved the climb too much. I liked the grind too much, and that didn't allow me

to scale and create the level of wealthy needed to pull it off.

But I do hear way too many "buts" from people. But is an excuse.

BUT ... :) before I finish with my ra-ra scenario, let's understand that there is some very real stuff going on in the world. You could be born in a part of the world where there is a dictator or communism. Do I think it's easy as to be a female entrepreneur in the Middle East as it is to be in New York City? No. Of course not. Just like any white male born in a semi affluent environment is bound to have a leg up on minorities in poor communities.

But there is a flipside to this. The hustle that you get from coming from the grind is a huge advantage. Some people think you're dead on impact, that you have to stick with the restrictions you're born in; that if you're born into a bad situation, you're bound to fail. But I think being born into luxury is worse because everything comes so easy and you don't know how to get anything.

It all comes down to how you operate and how you look at the world. But I will tell you this: I hate excuses. I hate them with all my heart. When something is wrong with VaynerMedia, that's all on me. I love taking that blame and not passing the buck. I take pride in taking the blame. Stop making excuses and work.

I think I love ads in the bathroom. People think I hate all traditional media, that I'm all about social. But don't forget I've spewed about how I think Super Bowl ads are underpriced. The truth is I just care about the attention graph. Show me where the eyes and ears are, and I'll show you something I believe in.

I believe that when I go pee-pee, and I see a sign right down there in front of me, there's a little bit of an issue: we are all taking out our phones now. I did a survey of my staff and everyone says they do it. So, the value of urinal signs and bathroom stall ads has certainly gone down. But do I think that there is still value because people will absolutely notice it. They are better than other outdoor mediums.

BUT the vulnerability to these types of ads, which I am fan of, is phone culture. I didn't look at my phone while I was peeing three years ago. But now I do.

I have always had the ability to come home after a long day and leave it all behind for my family. My dad did not have that ability, and maybe that's why it affected me. I am so grateful and so thankful to my family members, especially my wife, who allow me the freedom to hustle the way I do. I feel like it's totally inappropriate to disrespect that love, to then carry over my headaches home.

There have been a good amount of people who have said to me how much they admire that I never take my headaches out on them. At the end of the day, there are really two people: people that need somebody else to dump their headaches on, and people that collect the headaches of others. I admire my mom tremendously for that. She collects everybody's headaches. I'm very thankful that I took that DNA from her.

I'm thrilled to hear your headaches, but I have no interest in giving you mine. And so that foundation, that DNA trait, allows me to walk right into home and forget the problems. Lost a client. Can't ship to a state anymore on Wine Library.com. Didn't get that deal. Somebody's sick. All these things that are life and intense, the second I walk in that door I need to repay that amazing family that has given me the opportunity to do my thing by shutting that all off and turning on a different gear.

There have been businesses that I sit on for such a long time, it's insane. Some times years even pass before they get executed on. I let them marinate, I let them refine.

And then there's the other side of things: me and Jerome Jarre have dinner, and literally the next day there's a talent agency for Vine stars, Grape Story.

It really depends on the business and both options have merit. AJ and I thought for ten or eleven months before starting VaynerMedia. Little known fact: before starting VM, we were probably on third base in starting a fantasy sports site. True story. But in the end, VM won out. We marinated and VaynerMedia happened in lieu of everything else.

Really it comes down to the idea, and it comes down to the timing. I've got ideas that are running through my head right now but I know the timing is bad because I have so much other stuff going on. In fact, timing might be the more important factor. Are you ready? Do you have the time? The biggest failures in my business career have been when I bit off more than I could chew. Think about that.

There is a lot of potential in podcasts. The only reason I'm not all in right now is because I'm too busy. Everybody has to decide their own opportunity costs. For me, I think I over-index on video. I perform better on video. I like video, I like this whole thing.

But I want to still have a presence on their, so I'm taking the audio of this show and turning into a podcast. I think podcasting is a huge phenomenon. Obviously the smart phone has changed the dynamic; people can take it with them when they run or travel or work out. Other people are listening on their car over blue tooth. It has particularly exploded over the last twenty-four months, especially with Serial being such a big deal. It was big back in 04 and 05, and now it's having a comeback.

I'm all about podcasting in its traditional form as an audio experience. To me, there is a huge opportunity that is being missed for a long of people. Let's not forget that audio is much more accessible to a lot of people. Making a video takes a different dimension and skill set, one that I think I own; thus, I use this form to create two pieces of content. I take the audio and turn it into a podcast. Because video comes so naturally to me, that is what I default to. But I want to be aware of the podcast world, so I do what I can to make it work.

If I had time to do two separate shows, I would. But right now I don't see the ROI of only doing audio in a world where I have so many projects happening.

And by the way, Podcast listeners (if you're reading this :) ), please give me your feedback. I want to make sure I'm hearing you and getting feedback.

Is there a risk in giving away your best work for free? Of course. Giving away awesome work for free has been my gateway drug to so many great opportunities. But best work needs to be defined for the category you're in. I'm blown away by the amount of people who don't realize that their best advice is exactly what you should give away for free. But if you're a painter, and your best work is the most amazing painting you ever made, and you give it away for free, that's maybe a different game. But maybe you strategically gave it away. Like to an important museum, maybe. Or to a billionaire that puts in a prime spot in that home, could that then become the gateway to more?

The problem with this debate is that when you are doing something for free, it needs to be strategic. Because what you are looking to do by giving away something for free is create leverage to then do something that is not for free, right? Right. DRock could have made that first video for someone who is not me, and it might not have panned out the same. He might not have received that ROI that he got for doing a video for free for me.

I think that people look at this too much as a blanket statement. For me, everything I give away for free has strategic purpose. I understand WHY I'm doing it, and that's why it becomes so much easier to do, even though I don't always expect an outcome from that action. That becomes the big part of this. Way too many people do stuff for free and that expect this windfall behind it. Then when it's not delivered, they become disappointed; and in that disappointment, they don't follow up, they don't try it again. They don't repeat that action over and over, which actually has more upside than anything else.
Three out of five times it will bring you some kind of value. Don't focus on the two out of five.

How do you throw a great right hook? You sweep the leg. Straight up. Just sweep the leg. That’s literally how I think about this. The fact of the matter is you have to go right in the for the kill. It’s all Karate Kid. Go in for it.

What else makes it a great. Honesty. Just be real with what your goal is. If I was the CEO of Toyota, my Super Bowl ad would sound like this: “Hey. I’m Gary Vaynerchuk and I’m the CEO of Toyota. I want you to buy my cars. What do I have to do to make that happen? Let us know.” That is a good Super Bowl commercial. Forget the pony. Forget the eagle and the cute dog.

I’m turning this episode into a test case right now. Currently, Jab Jab Jab Right Hooks’ Amazon ranking is #2,051. I am now asking everyone to buy one copy. ONE. It would mean a lot to me. It would prove my point about solid right hooks. You’ve watched thirty or so episode for free, and now I’m asking you for this one thing. Buy one.

And so, that is a right hook my friends. You just honestly ask. You try to create a little guilt around it. And you ask.

Don’t hold back and be honest.

#QOTD: What question would you really like to ask me based on Steve's last question that you've never asked me? Meaning: can you come up with an interesting question for me?

#LINKS

Submit a question: https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/what-youll-need-to-get-garyvee-945936926.html

All of my strategy is completely intuition. Why? Because if you look at my twenty year career, most of it has been guessing, and, I'd like to think, projecting where the market is going to go. There was no data on what e-commerce would do in 1996. There was no data on email marketing when you were one of the first hundred people using it. There was no data on what Instagram was going to bring us in value when AJ sold Brisk Iced Tea an Instagram campaign thirteen days after Instagram launched. And...there was no data around Vine celebrities when I launched my Vine talent agency 110 days after Vine launched.

So from a strategy standpoint, I get the accolades and have the luxury of doing a show that people actually watch completely on intuition because that's what I have that other people don't have. It's no different than being great at basketball or being attractive or all the other good things that can happen in life. It was just there.

But, I do think data still plays a role. I make these predictions, but then to actually run the business you need to know what's going on. My practicality comes into play. VaynerMedia grew very quickly, and you don't do that if you can't make payroll, right? You obviously need that practicality to run a business.

I used to think I was a super 50/50 guy on this. My personality and communication style gets people's attention and put me in one place, but I take enormous pride in being able to shut up some times too. The first ten years of my career I kept my mouth shut. I built something and then I started talking.

So it's both. I built the data early in my career. I got into business and entrepreneurship early. But now I'm making calls on intuition. I need both.

Hashtag culture is very important, especially to Instagram and Twitter. Those are really the two places that it massively over-indexes. It's an incredible way to get discovered.

If you're asking "How do I get my hashtag going", you might be in for a surprise with my reply. I have the #AskGaryVee hashtag, but it's really a way for me to gather questions, as well as create a community that people can talk to each other on. For a campaign, it's different. You need to understand two things. One, hashtags are not ownable. Maybe some of you didn't get it, so I'll say it again: hashtags are not ownable. It is insane to me that people in 2015 still think you can own a hashtag. I walk into a lot of brand meetings where people will say things like "Let's own the #GetEm hashtag." My usual response is: what the hell are you talking about?

First and foremost, any hashtag you create could be taken tomorrow by someone else and used differently. If you can remember all the way back to 2009, Skittles put out a hashtag and ended up with a lot of really crude things on their hashtag. Even worse, Skittles made their homepage a feed of that hashtag, where everything that was posted using it showed up. Yikes. It still happens today.

So, how do you optimize hashtags for a campaign?

Flip it. Instead of trying to own or establish a hashtag for a campaign, look at hashtags that are trending and very popular on the two main platforms already and try to figure out how to reverse into them by putting out your piece of content, storytelling. Ride the wave. Be creative.

ONE IS GREATER THAN ZERO: http://youtu.be/4fsYWXrGGcE
ASK GARY A QUESTION: https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/what-y...

I've talked about not being crippled by hiring anybody, because if they aren't good you can just fire them. But for the first 15 years of my career I was not good with this. I hated it, there is nothing positive to firing anyone, I would always justify an excuse for them. I've learned that in the long run, letting someone go is better for both parties.

One thing that I'm very proud of here at Vaynermedia and Winelibrary is that when an employee is let go, people aren't surprised because they could already feel it coming. A question to ask yourself is do you have the emotional EQ? and the people skills to do the firing?

If not, find someone who does and hire them to take that position. As I always say, work on your strengths.

One is Greater than Zero

Tue, 03 Feb 2015 18:49:18 +0000

It baffles me to see how many people think they are bigger than they actually are.

People will ask me questions like "How do I get into the New York Times?" or "How do I get a meeting with that CEO?"

My reply? One is better than zero.

You need to be thinking about the steps it takes to actually get to the biggest places in the world. Before you get that meeting with Zuckerberg or Mark Cuban, or whoever you want to meet with, you need to have a lot of little meetings. You have to build up your cadence.

I've been on Conan. Ellen. The Today Show.

But I also did a thousand interviews that got one or nineteen or 137 views on YouTube. Max. Why did I do blog posts for so long that only had six readers? Why do I guest on shows with a smaller audience base than my own? Because I'm all about depth over width. I want to go deeper with my community. I want to give back to people who support me.

Even today, when I have more leverage than I did three years ago, I still live under the motto of one is greater than zero. To me, doing these interviews or guest posts is about the process of the work. Too many people are impatient and not willing to do that work. When you're still making the climb, when you haven't made your name known yet, you need to put in that work. I did those 119 and 137 view videos day in and day out. And I continue to.

You might make a video with 89 views. But one of those viewers could be a producer at CNN. Undervaluing just that one view is a huge mistake.

It's about having the humility. It's about not saying no. Even when you've made it. You're never too big. One is bigger than zero.

Top Line Revenue and Niche Advertising on Instagram!

Tue, 03 Feb 2015 03:21:47 +0000

#QOTD: Where Are You Consuming The AskGaryVee Show? iPhone? IPad? Tv? or Computer? Where?

If you're looking to try and sell ads on your Instagram account, first up you need the followers - the scale - to support bringing in real money. You need to spend the next 6-12 months actively acquiring new users. Then the answer is YES. It's totally fine to be making an ad once every 7 Instagram videos (remember, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook). But you need to make the stuff entertaining. Think like 1950's advertorial-style commercial starring you using the product. Like when they used to bring dogs onto Jonny Carson to eat Alpo dog food. All of that is clearly coming back into vogue.

Now here is what I would do if it were me: You need to basically google all of the news and media relating to your specific niche, and you need to reach out to every single person in the first 80 pages of results to let them know what you're doing and see if they can get you exposure. You need to absolutely be pounding all 879 influencers who matter in your niche to make sure they know who you are. You need to be the one to reach out and say "yo".

Guys. Most of you aren't TAKING it. You have to understand that with Wine Library TV, I reached out and TOOK it. I emailed EVERYBODY who had a wine blog in 2006, and said "hey, I'm doing this!"

And I get that not everybody is comfortable with self promoting. I love when my european friends are like "oh that's such an American thing." But I'm telling you that if you're smart and you position it the right way, which is not to be straight up like "YOU SHOULD WRITE ABOUT ME!" (Right Hook), but instead saying "Hey I love our community, if there is anything I can ever do you for, let me know." (Jab), you're going to see results. You just are.

So get out there and take it.

Breweries, Books, & Super Bowl Predictions

Fri, 30 Jan 2015 21:50:05 +0000

#QOTD: Rank these four platforms in order of YOUR preference: Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram.

Last night, I started using Twitter's new video reply feature. That platform is playing a lot more with video. When I first started putting out content in 2006, it was video because that felt most natural to me. The best way I could communicate. But it was hard for me to execute on it. In 2007 and 2009, I would carry a Flip Cam around with me and use that as my main medium. The fact that I can now do that straight through the Twitter app is awesome.

So video does seem most natural to me. But I don't over think my content. Way too many people over think the stuff they are putting out there. We're living in a culture where kids are growing up scrutinizing every selfie they take. It takes them forty-seven minutes to post because they have to make sure the lighting is right. Then when it doesn't get enough likes in the first four minutes, they pull it down. I have the reverse of that rigor. I would take the most unflattering selfies, not caring about the lighting (this is actually the first year I've started to understand lighting...).

Bottom line: I really don't care about the angles. The look. The feel. I care about the substance.

P.S. Twitter Video is available now for verified users, so if you're verified, check it out. :)

How do you work 100% for clients and another 100% for your own brand? The answer is simple: you need to work harder. And faster. There's really nothing else to it. I'm exhausted every day, but I'm making all sorts of things happen in my eighteen hours. Not only am I working eighteen hours, I'm working fast as hell in this eighteen hours. And, I'm prioritizing what's important and what's not.

We're all different. We work in different ways. If you're Type A, maybe you just need to schedule non-negotiable time for your personal brand if it's that important to you. But really, there is no magic answer here. The answer is just more time, and faster within that time.

Now, the faster part might confuse some people. I always tell people to start working harder, stop watching Lost, but there's another variable: be much faster in the hours you'er already in. There is not a second that's down for me. Some people say they work ten minutes day, but then when I audit them, there's fifteen minutes here and there where they watched a YouTube video. We fight for minutes on my team. Even seconds.

I used to think I was the biggest workaholic that lived. From twenty-two to thirty, I really thought I was all in. But I had enough time to bullshit about baseball with friends. I had time. Now, I'm dramatically faster. And I'm working more hours. That's how it's happening.

So that's the answer. More hours. Faster. Better. Stronger.

Winter Storm Juno & Viral Marketing on No Budget

Mon, 26 Jan 2015 21:33:21 +0000

#QOTD: New York is about to get CRUSHED by a blizzard, so I want to hear about your favorite memory from a snow day.

Social Media is the plumbing to the word of mouth in our society. If you make a great product and you can get people to taste it, both literally and metaphorically, then there's a tremendous opportunity for your name to spread on its own. There are tons of brands that don't spend on marketing and win simply by making a great product that people can't help but talk about.

In this day and age, you may not have the budget to put towards marketing your product or service, but that shouldn't stop you. If you're putting out a strong product and service then your name may very well spread through the eyes and ears of those that are able to experience your offerings firsthand.

Social Media has put us in a very interesting space. If you can leverage the social "influence" of one individual who's had a great experience with what your business offers, you can be well on your way to surpassing the attention that any paid budget would get you. BUT, you need to make sure you actually have a good product. For instance, if you're a small time restaurant that happens to have great food, all you need is that one person on Instagram or Twitter to talk you up because they love what you have to offer.

The brands and the products that will break out in the next decade with zero dollars may end up being anomalies in the grand scheme of things, but that's all predicated on them having tremendous products. You can have all the money in the world but if your product sucks, you'll end up losing the long game. HOWEVER, you may very well be piss poor and not in the position to spend money on marketing, but if your product is good enough to entice people to talk about it, then in this day and age, you can most certainly win.

Franchising, Open Courses & Cash or Exposure

Thu, 22 Jan 2015 16:24:20 +0000

#QOTD
Part 1: Give me your feedback, are you excited about instagram bringing a visual element to the show?
Part 2: Are you going to submit a question via instagram?

If you are building a consumer facing business, like a restaurant for example, then a franchise is a great thing to do. But, something to ask is—are you trying to franchise your name? A lot of people have tried to franchise me. Yeah. Me. As in Garyvee. I got so many pitches when “Crush It” came out in 2010. People wanted to build courses that they would teach, but it would syphon up to me. That was something I wasn't comfortable with because I don’t feel like it represented me. I wouldn't want to franchise that route.

So if you're asking me about franchising yourself, I'm going to say no. Having other people represent "you", to scale your "brand" as a franchise, just doesn't make sense any more. With YouTube and all the other forms of social media available, you just don't need it.

BUT let's say you're franchising your restaurant or retail business. If that is the case, I am comfortable saying: go for it. You can make suer your brand is ensured with lots of rules, lots of legal jargon and intense training. Whatever you need to do to scale that, do it. It might be tough, but it will be worth it to keep the core values of your business intact.

Hiring Friends, Funerals, & The Reality Distortion Field

Wed, 14 Jan 2015 20:24:13 +0000

#QOTD: What is your favorite morning beverage?

I think that "hustle" is something that you're born with. Let me explain.

Work ethic is definitely a trait people are born with but ultimately I think that the hustle meter is fundamentally affected by who the work you're doing is for. Sure, if you work for yourself, it's really easy to give yourself that high grade hustle. However, if you work for someone else, I think your attitude and effort are solely based on how inspired you are and how protected you are by that leader. I truly believe that because I instill trust and protection (as well as some high standards) for those that work for me, they're able to go all-in and deliver and work as hard as they do due to the culture and the context that comes from within the workplace.

At the ground level, everyone is motivated by their own selfishness and there's nothing wrong with that. But then there's a side of it where if the leader presents a workplace based on meritocracy they're going to do whatever they can to not let that leader down but they'll also work hard enough to take advantage of the opportunity to grow and rise through the ranks. It's super fascinating to me see the levels of motivation that are on display among those that work for me as opposed to those that work for themselves.

There are so many variables that dictate one's work ethic, but there's no question that a lot of our motivation stems from our life's circumstances, be it traumatic or triumphant. So for me, it's most definitely a nature vs. nurture thing. A lot of our drive comes from our DNA but it's the circumstances of our years that shape the level at which we perform.

And for you over-achievers, try and think of somebody you haven't spoken to in more than 5 years and give them a call. I want you to comment and let me know who that person is and what happened when you hit them up. You'll thank me later :)

The brilliance of this show (#humblebrag) is that when people look back and realize what I've done (and what I'm doing), they'll notice I'm creating the base, the foundation, for all the other pieces of content that I'm able to create. If you pay attention you'll realize that all the content we're putting out is (for the most part) based on the seed that is the #AskGaryVee show.

Just take a look at the last 6-8 weeks and you'll see the substantial increase in output we've been able to tackle because we're taking advantage of what this show provides -- whether that's Medium posts, GaryVaynerchuk.com articles, animated GIFs, etc. In essence, the #AskGaryVee is just one giant jab that allows for the further awareness that I'm trying to create with the other pieces of content we're putting out there. People gravitate to different mediums and different messaging and this show allows us to capitalize on all those needs.

Think about it. We're putting out this show that is supplied by the questions and thoughts of the fantastic community that is #VaynerNation. This show is the foundation to what has become the latest stage of my personal brand. Not only can I create this show that provides a lot value to a number of people but it also provides me the leverage to create other pieces of content consumed by people that may not otherwise hear my messaging.

Motivating Employees & Marketing Automation

#QOTD: Can I get your wine business? YES? NO?
#QOTD2: What are you looking forward to in 2015?

The best way to push employees above their own means is to guilt them into it.

Everybody is driven by things, so first and foremost, you need to use your ears and listen. You need to sit down with your employees and understand where they want to take their careers. What’s their ambition? By sitting down with people and actually listening, you’ll be able to set up your employees for success in order to achieve the beneficially mutual goals at hand.

Don’t think for a second that money drives all motivation. It’s simply not true. People are in the game for multiple reasons and the only way for you to understand that is to listen. Once you understand then you can set them up to be in a place for them to deliver.

The only way someone will over deliver FOR YOU, is to attack THEIR OWN selfishness. You may be selfish in asking for people to over-deliver for you, but the only way for that to be executed on is for you to over-deliver for them. The single best way to win is to provide for 51% of the relationship forcing them to be good enough to deliver on the other 49%.

Listen, deliver, and guilt them.

Period.

#QOTD: How much do you hate DRock?

The middle is the commoditized work that everybody does. What I mean by this is that everybody winds up doing what the market calls for. They're focusing on what's popular in the moment and not focusing on where the market's going. I can't tell you how many times I get pitched by startups doing the same thing everyone else is doing and singing the same old song. What I want to hear about are those that are in the trenches doing the hard work - the nitty gritty; Those that are going above and beyond and breaking traditional thinking.

"The middle" is what we're surrounded by 99.9% of the time. It's the sh*t everybody focuses their energy on all the while ignoring what really matters - the clouds and dirt, as I like to call it. You've got to dive into the trenches and get into the weeds. BE A PRACTITIONER. At the rawest of levels you need to be executing. You need to be focusing on the stuff that nobody wants to bother with. Why? Because that's the hard part. And that's what matters.

So if there's anything you can walk away with from me to wrap up this year, it's this. DO THE WORK THAT NOBODY ELSE IS DOING. Don't be afraid to break things, and hustle your face off 'til it hurts. Trust me. You'll be a better person for it.

Hustle. The most important word ever.

Love you all. Have a Happy New Year.

#QOTD: What's your Instagram handle?

Look, when VaynerMedia was in its earlier days, our website was garbage. It almost looked as if we were going out of business and I know that. That's on me. At that point in time I didn't think we needed to showcase the work we were doing, or the clients we working on, or any accolades we could have showed off. We just needed to focus.

The point here is that everything I do, and everything that you do, needs to have strategy behind it. The strategy at the time for us was to stay low and be quiet, and focus on what we were doing internally and focus on the energy that we needed to create to build an incredible business. So that's what we did -- BUT, that doesn't mean that's what you need to do. It all boils down to strategy and the mission at hand, so that's what you should be focusing your energy on.

Look, we were put in a peculiar position. I had my own personal brand and people knew me as this "social media guy." To be honest, I had plenty of doubters who thought I was just going to snake my way into getting clients without have a substantial business to back it. Well -- THEY WERE WRONG. I've proved my worth through and through and a lot of that had to do with the strategy I employed, the team I built around me, and the ways we've executed our excellence in this space.

The actions that you put out to the world need to replicate the mission you've set out to capitalize on. This isn't a one-size-fits-all game. You need to understand what you're looking to do and do whatever it takes to get that done. Period.

Introverts, Guy Kawasaki, & The GaryVee Movie

Tue, 16 Dec 2014 23:15:56 +0000

#QOTD: Where do you watch or listen to the #AskGaryVee Show?

I think that Instagram and Twitter are tremendously different. Look, Twitter is the town hall, the cocktail party of the social world. When things happen in the world and there’s breaking news, we’re running to Twitter not Instagram – we want the chatter, not the images. However, I do believe that Instagram has found a way (at least up til now) to gain the most attention from the consumer where we've found ourselves looking at those pictures pretty consistently.

Attention wins and that’s what Instagram has been able to capture. People are actually consuming content on Instagram, whereas on Twitter, those days are over. Back in the day I used to be able to send out a tweet and although I had a substantially lower reach I was still able to garner that attention. Instagram, due to its image-focused nature, is naturally able to capture our attention more easily. And let’s face it, we’re lazy, and it’s much easier to consume an image than to take the time to read a few lines or click through to a long form piece of content. It’s just the nature of our tendencies, our attention spans, and the mediums where we’re consuming this content, which happens to stem from the palms of our hands.

OH! And did I mention? I have an Instagram account. You should follow me :) @GaryVee

#QOTD: How old are you?

Check out my new video channel on 5by!
http://5by.com/garyvee

There is zero doubt in my mind that I can run ANY company. I'm a reverse engineer, through and through. Heck, I don't know anything about 99% of the businesses out there, but I believe that it would take me only about 6 months to absorb the information - the data, the numbers, the culture, etc. - and reverse engineer the business to get it to a point where I can run with it. I'd take a look at the marketplace, understand the consumer that the business is selling to, whether B2B or B2C, and start making my chess moves. Frankly, as an operator, there is no business out there that I'd ever be intimidated by. That's just who I am. Fearless.

Look, this comes down to people and process. You need to have the chops to build teams around you while having the strategy and tact to sell the product at hand. I'm certainly not the only one, but it's few and far in between that you have natural born operators that can take a look at things, assess the situation, and really operate the business without ever having any real experience in that field.

As I alluded to earlier, this all boils down to sales and HR. People and process. That's why I think I've been so successful. My salesmanship and ability to build strong infrastructures with the people around me is why I have won. Period. If you're lucky enough to have those two traits where you can both sell and build teams around you, then you're sure to win. No question.

#QOTD: Which social network are you hottest on RIGHT now?

Agencies in the market for awards is nonsense. I've been talking about this for a while in the halls of this world and within our industry. At the end of the day, these agencies are being hired to do work for THEIR CLIENTS, not for themselves. They're being hired to tell a story on behalf of the brand they're working for which in turn is supposed to sell sh*t.

Agencies are using their work and these awards to recruit more talent and to gain more clients. I get that. It's smart in one way, but it's not intended for the long game and it's not sustainable. I'm not trying to begrudge the agencies that do it because I get the business rationale behind it but it's just not a healthy culture. It takes the eyes off the actual prize of doing what's best for the client and I just don't subscribe to it.

Luckily for us at VaynerMedia, our proof is in the pudding. Our work is the word of mouth of our business and quite frankly, so is my personal brand, but if you've been watching this show, you can see that it's quite apparent as to why this is the place to be. And so, we're not here to win awards, we're here to win our clients over. We let our work and the results of our efforts speak for themselves. THAT'S IT.

Values, Selfies, & Cornhole

Thu, 11 Dec 2014 23:34:02 +0000

**WARNING: DO NOT end this episode early. Stay tuned 'til the last second. You won't regret it.** Hint for you podcast listeners: ASHTON KUTCHER

#QOTD: Give me some feedback on the new settings of the show. How do you like us filming on the 15th floor? -- Since you all can't see what's going on, check out the YouTube episode and let me know what you think!!

THINGS I VALUE: I'm a humungous fan of patience. Lack of patience has caused so many people to not achieve the upside that they deserve and that just kills me. Another thing I value so greatly is an old school handshake. That really matters to me. Word is bond. Having people in your life that you can trust based on their word goes a long way -- you know, someone that you just know is going to deliver on whatever it is they say they're going to do.

On the other hand, when someone doesn't deliver on something, I have the understanding to realize that unexpected things can come up and change the course of action. So I completely buy into being nimble and empathetic because you need to be able to understand that things don't always go according to plan, and it's not always the person on the other end that's to blame.

I also think that people that are grateful are extremely attractive as well. NOTHING is more ugly to me than somebody who's spoiled and I also think at some level, hypocrisy is the thing that I hate the most, which I guess touches on my previous point.

So for me, there's nothing more important than having perspective on things and understanding that although people may have the best intentions in mind, not everything is going to work to plan. You need to be patient and empathetic and realize that when someone says they're going to do something, you'd hope they'll do whatever's in their power to deliver, but while also having the perspective in understanding that things don't always run their intended course -- And that's okay.

First Impressions, Patrick Ewing, & Google Plus

Wed, 10 Dec 2014 19:18:48 +0000

#QOTD: Give me some stories from your experiences with company holiday parties. I need gossip, people :) Also, why are you not visiting me this weekend at Wine Library? :(

Google+ is most definitely a failure (in my eyes) for Google. While Google is my pick for the best tech company in the world, they made the wrong decision in doing something outside of their DNA. They tried to copy something, and I think that was ill-fated.

I use Google+ because there's an audience of mine there and it ties in greatly with the YouTube society. There's a small niche group of people that I massively respect that have developed some great communities there. However, much like every social network besides Twitter, it isn't in fact a social network. Most of these "social networks" have become content portals. And so, I still have a great sized audience on Google+ and therefore they will not be forgotten and I will continue to distribute my content there because it's native, and that's what you need to do. Understand the nuances of the platform and deliver based on how it's used.

So all in all, Google+ is a loss, but it's still something that needs to be paid attention to. Nothing is ever dead. I talk about email open rates being down, but it's still at the top of my current marketing strategy.
It's about what's happening in that moment. So where is Google+ now? It still merits the time it takes to utilize the platform and therefore I will continue to engage with my community within it. Remember people - follow the eyes and ears.

Jacks of All Trades, Hiring, & Google Rankings

Tue, 09 Dec 2014 22:57:18 +0000

#QOTD: What's the greatest holiday gift you've every received? - India K. :)

With an organization of the size of VaynerMedia, of course you need a balance of employees that are highly skilled in particular focuses as well as those that are considered to be 'jacks of all trades.' So for me, of course both work, but truthfully, I'm a firm believer in the importance of being a 'jack of all trades.' So, for the purposes of drawing some lines in the sand, I don't agree that everyone should focus on one particular skill.

Many people would argue that if you try to know a little bit of everything, you'll never get to the point of mastering anything. My argument? Bullsh*t. I don't buy it. I think I'm perfectly capable and skilled at 19 different things and that's just the way I roll. Look, you need to be able to adapt and you need to be able to evolve your skill-sets depending on the particular situation. In my world, there's NO room for excuses. So when I hear people make the excuse that they can't do other things because they've gone so deep in one focus, it bothers me.

There's always room to get better in as many things as possible. You need to expand your arsenal because you'll never know when you'll need to tap into more than one skill. It's speaks to your agility and your ability to offer a number of benefits to a certain situation when the time calls for it. You can always get better. Start moving :)

White Lies, Klout Scores, & Musical Chairs

Mon, 08 Dec 2014 21:21:48 +0000

#QOTD: Are you coming this Saturday? Yes or No? Also, I need your recap of the first 50 episodes of the #AGV show. What's the best thing that it's done for you?

When people bring up my competitors I tend to respond in a condescending way. Quite honestly, I dislike my competitors (in the context of the game/business). When people bring them up I try and tear them down as quickly as possible. My competitors? Oh, you mean those people who are trying to win awards while I'm over here trying to actually sell sh*t?

Deep down, I'm just not a fan of my competition. Anything I think that'll make somebody realize the value in working with us is something that I will push and fight for throughout the discussion, no matter what. Look, I'm a salesman, a talker, with great tact and enormous empathy. Hence why I win as often as I do. I can read a room and I know in real-time how to navigate the conversation and find my way to the top and win that discussion. Others? They just can't. They may just not be good enough to communicate their value without sounding awkward or inappropriate. Some just don't have it.

Look, I can play the game and I know when to turn it on and off, but others just don't have what it takes to communicate their worth and their value. I care SO MUCH about my clients that I'll do whatever it takes to make them realize how worthwhile it is to work with me (VaynerMedia) as opposed to anybody else. It just is what it is. Other people just need to apply different routes and tactics. But quite honestly, any other route besides the one that I roll with, is sh*t. Period. End of story.

High-End Wine, Bucket Lists, & Self-Confidence

Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:29:00 +0000

#QOTD: Do you think that your culture (wherever you're located) has gotten soft? Do you think we should we have 7th place trophies?

High-end wine is as much of a hoax as the art world is and as much of a hoax as a high-end restaurant charging $10K for a a once in a lifetime meal. It's as simple as supply and demand. Is a stock price a hoax? My answer? Yes and No.

I used to think that the amount I was being paid for my speaking engagements was a hoax, but then I realized that I was getting compensated for what I was doing for that event. Is an actor quietly getting $8 Million for a movie a hoax, as opposed to an athlete who constantly gets ridiculed for being over-paid? It's all an arbitrage. That same actor is putting people in the seats and ad budgets are being leveraged against the appeal of that actor/actress.

So, can I taste the difference between a $10 wine and a $100 wine? ABSOLUTELY. I live it. It's what I do. The beauty of wine is that everyone has their own palette -- similar to how people have different taste perceptions of art and music. It's simple branding. It's supply and demand. My advice? DON'T. DRINK.GOOD.WINE. It's all supply and demand. If you start to taste the good things (first class plane tickets, front row seats, etc.), you'll put yourself in the position to realize it's not a hoax. It's all perspective. It's context baby! Don't complain about it unless you're prepared to never taste it.

Ignoring the Competition, Niche Marketing, & Swagger

Mon, 01 Dec 2014 20:27:30 +0000

#QOTD: How was your Thanksgiving? AND, what's your Jets vs. Dolphins prediction for tonight's game?

I literally spend ZERO time focusing on my competition. I don't look to the right of me or the left of me -- It's all forward moving for this guy. I focus ALL of my time on people, the teams around me, and our focus for the future.

Do I know what the competition is doing? Sure, to some level - but I never go deep as my understanding typically goes as far as reading headlines and hearing some of the buzz of the industry. The biggest mistake I see entrepreneurs making is paying too much attention to those around them. Sure, take a look back once and while to see who's on your tail, but at the end of the day your focus needs to be on your own domain. If you can focus all of your attention to accomplishing what you set out to do, full-steam ahead, you'll win.

Not only will you win but you'll be able to razz the competition a bit while you ignore them :) I find that not paying attention to your competitors is actually a tactic to be used and a competitive advantage which allows you to focus your energy on the work you've set out to do in the ways in which you've set out to do it.

How I Screwed Up My Uber Investment

Wed, 26 Nov 2014 20:08:16 +0000

#QOTD: What weaknesses of yours are you giving thanks for? And be honest. This will help you.

Someone by the name of Tommy Mottola (look him up) once told me that he wouldn't try and sell anything until the artist he was working with and the product they were creating (in this case music) were ready. And I agree with that to some extent because if you're going to sell something you need to make sure that those ready to buy it can actually do so, but it also needs to make sense for the context involved. So let me explain.

If you're able to achieve and execute on business objectives by building out content and pushing your product or business without the need of a fully built website, then by all means, go for it. By creating content you're beginning the journey of how your story will unfold. The reception of this content will also allow you to test and learn and understand the best approach to creating future content once your business and website are ready for the masses. That process you simply don't want to miss out on.

And so, a big issue I've been seeing is that people are too reluctant to sell against the communities and the impressions they've established on social. Too many people are caught up on only leveraging their website for banner ads but selling against social audiences is essentially the same thing. If you're creating valuable content that's living on social then you might as well take advantage of that opportunity. Don't get caught up in only monetizing on the platform that you fully own when there's a world of opportunity that exists through the channels you're deciding to put your content on.

So in short - If the opportunity to create content presents itself and makes sense for the objectives of the business you're trying to build, then my suggestion is to go ALL IN and get moving. NOW.

Life Decisions & Getting Punched In The Face

Mon, 24 Nov 2014 23:05:25 +0000

#QOTD: What wine are you pairing with your Thanksgiving dinner?

The biggest decision of my life? Deciding to finally focus on what felt right to me.

At an early age I received an "F" on one of my Science tests. From that moment in time I understood that no matter how many people tried to tell me the importance of school, I knew deep down inside that it wasn't for me. And although I knew it would bring me nights upon nights of punishment, I decided that school couldn't be the one thing I focused all of my energy on.

From my "flower business," to the lemonade stands, to the baseball card collection, I knew early on that I was a businessman. Although I had felt it inside, it wasn't until I made the conscious decision to focus on these skills that things began to change for me and my outlook on the rest of my life would be forever different.

The moment I made the decision I knew that I would be looked at by society as different, and I understood that, but I made the mental decision to accept that and focus on what felt right for me. I made a deal with myself that I was ready and willing to eat the pain in order to capitalize on my early self-awareness. I decided to focus on my skills and learn as much as possible about whatever venture I was focused on at the time. So rather than succumbing to society's pre-determined life plan for me, I fought it, and delivered on what I felt and knew I was -- a businessman.

I suggest you do the same.

Retail, Super Bowl Ads, & Telemarketing

Wed, 19 Nov 2014 23:04:43 +0000

#QOTD: Watch this on video and guess how many almonds are in the jar next to me. Whoever guesses it right will be flown out to NYC to join me on a taping of the #AskGaryVee show!!

It's funny to hear that people are referring to cellphones and other mobile devices as the "second screen." As far as I'm concerned, in this DVR'd world we live in, most of us are on our phones, scrolling through our feeds as commercials, and sometimes the actual TV shows, are being ignored. I'm pretty certain we're at a moment in time where our mobile devices are indeed our 'first' screen of choice.

When it comes to retail though, it makes sense that we refer to our phones as the "second screen" because it certainly holds true that our eyeballs serve as the 'first screen' when we're walking around. What's really resonated with me recently with retail is how people are behaving when they're out and about and shopping around. People are literally IGNORING the promotional end-caps that brands spend tons of money on, simply because they're too distracted by their phones. Although this may sound like a wasted opportunity, I see it as the future of in-store marketing.

This has been a hot topic of discussion over the last few years -- how phones and other devices will play a role in our shopping experiences -- and is something I'm very interested in. Brands need to start being more conscious of how we're using our devices in our everyday interactions. With the advent of ApplePay and the beginning phases of beacon sensors, there's no question that our in-store purchasing behaviors will be highly influenced by those shiny little devices we seem to never be at an arms-length distance from.

The Thank You Economy & Snapchat Payments

Tue, 18 Nov 2014 20:19:50 +0000

#QOTD: What's the last app you downloaded?

The humanization of business. Manners of Marketing. Thank You Economy. They're all same. Now that the Internet has allowed consumers to have more control, businesses are expected to behave differently and interact with their communities in a way that humanizes their messaging. Unfortunately however, brands haven't fully embraced the mindset that I thought would have been exhausted by now.

My prediction with the Thank You Economy was that by 2015 everybody would be on board. Unfortunately, that is not the case. People just haven't adopted it at scale and therefore how can it really be over? Nobody's ruined it. This might actually take forever or never happen at all although I know that those practicing it are getting real results. I see those emails every day.

And so, my prediction was incredibly off. It just may never happen at scale because companies can be heartless. Heck, even I'm heartless when it comes to money. I know that business is all about the wallet and I get that, but there's a real financial benefit with TYE mentality. I see the dividends with it each and every day. People are STILL flabbergasted when a company reaches out to them with a half-assed approach, and so I know that the potential is still there, but I'm utterly confused as to how it hasn't been fully adopted yet. It's 2015, people!

Rich Kids, Birthdays, and Anniversaries

Thu, 13 Nov 2014 22:08:06 +0000

#QOTD: Just show me some love!!

Everything trickles from the top. For a long time I used to talk about the "rich-kid syndrome" and how they didn't have it in them to hustle their way to building a sustainable business. What I've learned, however, is that this doesn't apply to everybody.

When it comes to business, like anything else in life, it all stems from the top. Just like a business' culture stems from its leaders, the way a child sees the world and their approach to life all comes from how they were brought up. When I meet with these "rich kids" I spend almost all my time trying to figure out what their past was like. How did their parents raise them? Did they spoil them or did they make them work for what they wanted? And so, this really has nothing to do with the kids themselves but more so about who their parents were and how they decided to pass on the family legacy.

I know that my kids are going to be "rich kids" but that doesn't mean I'm going to spoil them. I'm not going to let them become soft and I will most certainly let them know what it means to work and sweat for something that they want, because I know that it's up to me to instill those qualities within them from the onset.

Mistakes, Interviews, and Keynotes

Tue, 11 Nov 2014 20:16:16 +0000

As a teacher and any professional looking to expand their personal brand, my advice remains the same -- Cut out the crap, stop wasting time on non-important things, and hustle to build your brand.

If you want to build a more scalable brand you need to put out content. Utilize the technology around you like SlideShare, Spreecast, and Google Hangouts which allow you to further establish your credibility, and where you can also charge people for participating if they're willing to do so.

Use your content as a gateway to drug to allow you to further establish yourself and your brand. What I really see here is that people are just loaded with excuses. Do you really want to build your brand or do you want to watch 'Homeland?' Do you really need to take that hour long lunch? LUNCH? C'mon!! There's better ways to use our time. I'm not saying you shouldn't eat, but do you really need that much time for lunch?!?

As with anything in life, you just need to figure out your cadence. What do you really want? Are you wasting your time by doing things that aren't allowing you to achieve the levels you want? If you really want to expand your brand, start putting out content, engage with people that may be interested in what you have to offer, cold call, and do whatever else it takes, even if that means having two hours less of sleep.

Pet Peeves, Young Entrepreneurs, and Overcoming Fear

Mon, 10 Nov 2014 18:19:29 +0000

#QOTD: How long have you been following my work?

Wanting to be an entrepreneur and being an entrepreneur are two very different things. If I were a young and aspiring entrepreneur I would go out an hustle my face off in any which way possible. The best way to become something is to first act like something. Sell, sell, sell. Understand what it takes to provide value to somebody. Learn how to communicate your value proposition enough so that it registers with your 'customer' allowing for you to accomplish what you've set out to do.

Go out and find mentors. Go work for free and under people that can show you the ropes and serve as that point of contact when you need it. Learn the hustle and taste the game. Put yourself in the position to win. You can read as many books as you'd like, but they're not going to make you an entrepreneur. The only way to become something is through doing.

And so, start hustling. Start doing whatever it takes. Even if that means selling the very shirt off your back.

Prioritizing Your Time & Hooking Up

Thu, 06 Nov 2014 19:33:50 +0000

#QOTD: Want to win a dinner with me? I need you to predict how many episodes of the #AGV show we'll wind up producing once this is all said and done. Those that guess right will be selected to have dinner with me. Deal?

They way I prioritize my time is by making the best judgment call possible in that particular moment in time. I frame my process by selecting two sides of the spectrum: What's the most on fire and needs to be tended to immediately, and what are the more high-level ideas that I can work on and flesh out?

I'll take care of things like employee issues or client concerns (the biggest and most time-sensitive problems) and balance it by going on the offense on the things with the biggest upside, like company culture, visions for the future, buying the Jets ;), etc.

I never focus on anything in the middle. VaynerNation, I warn you, the MIDDLE is DANGEROUS. Stay away.

Facebook Organic Reach, Dating in NYC, and Being a Leader

Tue, 04 Nov 2014 18:16:14 +0000

#QOTD: How bad you want to work at VaynerMedia?

The transition from being a "doer" to becoming a leader can be very difficult. Quite frankly, it scares the crap out of me. It's hard to go from "execution-mode" to then becoming a manager of a team. These are two very different things that can cause some issues if not handled properly.

When you're a leader, you have to be the bigger man/woman in any given situation. You can't simply impose your will because you're now the "boss." A leader listens. They swallow their pride and work to make sure the team is executing as needed. A leader needs to empower those around them to do their jobs but they also need to be able to take the hit, and eat crap, because things won't always be easy, and at the end of the day, they're the ones leading the charge.

I firmly believe that the transition from doer to leader is the same as the transition from leveraging your EQ rather than your IQ. Leaders need to listen and empower their team to become leaders themselves and take ownership of the work they're given. Leaders need to understand who they are as a person and relay that emotional understanding to those around them. As I've said many times before, it all boils down to self-esteem and self-awareness. If you can understand who you truly are as a person, and as a leader, then you'll be able to instill the same understanding in the team around you.

Virtual Reality, Content Creation, and No Excuses

Mon, 03 Nov 2014 18:35:34 +0000

#QOTD: Let me know what the next 3-5 years look like for your business. What do you have planned? What are you looking to accomplish?

Micro-Content is the idea of making content specific to the context of a platform. It's the idea of utilizing videos and pictures, quotes, and written words that work specifically for the multitude of platforms that exist (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Vine, Pinterest, Snapchat, etc) -- which if I might add, was the context behind my latest book, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook ;)

So, how do you make good micro-content? First of all, content is subjective. It depends on the viewer and why they're in particular place at a particular point in time. I understand that a 40 year old woman will have a different mindset when she's on Pinterest vs. Facebook. Does she have intent to shop (Pinterest) or is she just catching up with her world (Facebook)? That's how you need to focus on your story-telling strategy. You need to be mindful of the psychology behind the user's intent and the nuances of the platform.

When creating micro-content, or content in general, you also need to respect the user and their tendencies. Of course you want to sell your products, but you need to portray them in way that's more compelling to the viewer. You need to shape it their interests and lifestyle. There are plenty of targeting strategies out there, and there's no one way to execute. The only things you can hone in on while forming your strategy are:

1. Respecting the audience

2. Respecting the platform

3. Making your agenda fall third to #1 & #2

Twitter Auto-Replies, Marketing Gurus, and Happiness

Fri, 31 Oct 2014 23:14:23 +0000

#QOTD: No question for this one! I need more banter!! I'm looking at you, VaynerNation ;)

I absolutely hate when people send auto-messages after they've gained a new follower. I have actively un-followed most of you when you do this because it speaks to your intent on the platform. You're looking to scale social media on a platform like Twitter that's simply not scalable.

Twitter is the only true social network because it functions like a town square. A place where you can jump into conversations without sounding/looking creepy. The other networks are pushing content where Twitter is still the place for actual conversation.

When you go and auto-reply in a "town square," you're the same as the guy walking around just dishing out their business card at a conference or networking event. YOU'RE THE GUY THAT PEOPLE HATE. It's the wrong move. You're not putting any effort into engaging with people. You're auto-replying in the town square and providing no depth, no value.

What do you honestly think is going to happen when I receive that message? I'll tell you what's going to happen. I may sign up for your newsletter and you're going to email me and it's going to go to spam and I'm not going to engage. Why? Because there's no context established. That first taste, that first impression, all of a sudden is sh*t, and you've lost.

How To Create Real Estate Content

Tue, 28 Oct 2014 16:55:09 +0000

#QOTD - Are you a chugger, or did you have a turning-point moment, and if so, what was it?

If I were a realtor, the thing I would do more than anything else would be to review the establishments in my area. If I'm selling homes in Millburn, NJ, I'm putting out a daily piece of content featuring the the school, then I'm interviewing the individual teachers. I'm reviewing every single local shop: The wine store, the sandwich shop. I'm interviewing people who have lived in the neighborhood for 50 years. I'm putting out content to make you romantic about the area.

People pick where they want to buy a home for a lot of reasons. Some of them are practical: Public transportation, distance to schools. But how about making it a little warmer and interviewing Mrs. Robinson the 3rd grade teacher? I remember a realtor telling me that someone moved to Short Hills because of Wine Library (That was such a cool feeling, by the way).

So I'm doing daily content about the 20-mile radius around the area where you're selling homes. I'm finding the stories tucked away around the neighborhood, and all the iconic things that make your area what it is. Those stories are what will create the emotion that could be the tipping point in selling someone their next home.

Email Marketing in Today's World

Mon, 27 Oct 2014 21:46:14 +0000

#QOTD: What do you think of GaryVaynerchuk.com? Questions, comments, concerns? What’s your $.02?

Email is definitely not dead. As most you may know by now, I’m a big fan of marketing in the year that we live in. And so, email remains to be a very killer opportunity.

Email is a channel that you can control without being at the mercy of all these other platforms that are out there. But, we also can’t be naive to the changes have been made, such as the promotions tabs that GMail implemented recently. Sure, email is falling off and these changes have caused us to lose touch with some email lists that we may have been paying attention to prior, but it’s still very much in play so long as we leverage it wisely.

Are open rates at 90% like I had in 1997? Absolutely not. But, I still believe email is very much something to be considered. There’s no question that email will certainly be less valuable in 3-5 years. Heard me say marketers ruin everything? That’s where this fits in perfectly. That’s what this is all about. Platforms come along. They present value. And marketings pounce on the opportunity to arbitrage against their audiences.

But, while us marketers are working to exploit and potentially ruin email marketing, we’re still in a time where it should most definitely be considered as part of any business’s strategy.

How to Build a Personal Brand from Nothing

Wed, 22 Oct 2014 19:04:55 +0000

#QOTD: Are you a Vayniac or part of the VaynerNation? What's the difference?

If I were to go back in time and start all over again, I would change NOTHING. From 22 to 32, for the first ten years of my hustle, I remained quiet and I put in the work. I did the work that allowed me to have the audacity to go out and build the Gary Vaynerchuk brand.

The notion that there's people out there that are growth hacking, and getting exposure through other people's podcasts, and leveraging the brands of others to build themselves as "experts," is LUDICROUS. What are these people actually experts in? What have they accomplished to be deemed an expert?

Here's what I did and why I think you should listen to me when it comes to business. I am in the midst of building my second $50M plus business in a 5 year window. Is it $50 Billion? No - but it's a very substantial business. I was ahead of the market and I executed. I put in the work, I built up the business at a speed many can't comprehend, and I did the things that allowed me to be worthy enough to have a shot at putting out a $15-20 book and amass the following that I have.

So my question is, what did these self-proclaimed experts do to claim that title? If you want to be an "expert" in your craft you need to be in the trenches, day in and day out. You can't just rely on modern day technology to build up your brand. The notion that people are leveraging these technologies and the brand equity of others to build their name is LAUGHABLE. You need to actually execute. You need to earn the opportunity to be a personal brand. You need to show them the proof. If you're an actual expert the proof should be in your forethought, your wins, and your execution.

Increasing Exposure Through Business Development

Fri, 17 Oct 2014 20:32:56 +0000

#QOTD: What is your favorite candy?

First of all, if you want to increase engagement with your content, you need to make sure you're putting out quality product. Once you know that you're hitting the right notes with the material you'e putting out, you need to put your efforts into business development.

When an opportunity presents itself, pounce on it. Hustle. Be mindful of the environments and conversations you want to get involved in and be sure that you're offering them value in exchange for what you want from them -- exposure.

When I didn't have the base that I have now, I was out on the streets hustling for Wine Library, formerly named Shopper's Discount Liquors. I was walking into any business that might be relevant to my community and passing out flyers and coupons one-by-one to gain more exposure. Nobody gave a crap or knew who we were but I knocked on doors and made sure we got the exposure we needed.

So, can you biz dev? Are you willing to hustle to make it happen? Are you willing to work 15+ hours a day to make it happen? In today's world, there's so much room and opportunity to bring value to somebody, but it's never going to happen if all you care about is yourself .

Is Twitter Really Overvalued?

I am one of those people who used to think that tons of companies were overvalued. However, I was eventually proven EXTREMELY wrong. As I learned throughout the early Internet days, inflation happens, the world changes, adapts, and now I'm starting to wrap my head around the notion that things aren't actually as over-valued as they may seem at first sight.

But, this notion of over-under-valuation is definitely a doubled-edged sword. There will be plenty of businesses overvalued due to early-stage hype, but if something has proven to have won and you think is the future of infrastructure, such as an Uber, then we need to start paying close attention.

And of course, there's plenty of people that have lost money buying into "over-valued" companies, but then again, many have won. When we need to start looking close is when things hit scale. In the early Internet days, many people thought Amazon and EBay were over-valued, until of course, the world began to catch up with them. They were just a step ahead of everybody. When the world begins to catch up, and normal people start to interact and utilize these platforms, that's when you're going to see a shift in scale.

The underlying difference in all of this is whether these shifts in value are temporary or long-term. If the signs point to a long-term, strong valuation, then it's likely that they're just working in the future, ahead of the game, while others are caught trailing from behind.

Is it Better to be Self-Taught?

Mon, 13 Oct 2014 19:53:44 +0000

#QOTD: Are you going to subscribe to my podcast? YES or NO?

#QOTD2: What can I do to make my podcast a TREMENDOUS experience for you?

An interesting question was raised here about taking a course/class in order to become a social media marketer. The truth is, I'm self-taught. I didn't take any courses in social media, but in general I was never a real good student and never took any substantial classes in business or marketing -- But, that's seemed to work out for me just fine :)

I think all this really just boils down to being self-aware and knowing yourself. I honestly think that 99% are you are clowns, and are just reading headlines, rather than being actual practitioners and going deep within each platform. I'm even scared of you taking a course because most of the courses I've been exposed to during speaking engagements were jokes -- either the course itself or the teachers involved came off as clowns.

My honest opinion is that Social Media right now is in a very awkward and early stage. If you look back at the early internet marketers of 1995, they were spewing out a ton of garbage as well. So the timing is difficult now, but I can say confidently that I would feel a lot better about you taking a "course" 5 years from now rather than today.

So, in this whole circus type of environment, it all scares me. The most important thing you can do is be surgical, knowledgeable, and become an actual practitioner. However, for this particular instance, there's too many variables to consider. Are the courses good? Can you actually learn in those environments? Because I can't - hence why my advice is to become a practitioner as best you can, because that's what I've done, and that's certainly worked for me :)

How to Pick a Name for Your Business

Sun, 12 Oct 2014 17:00:00 +0000

#QOTD: What's your favorite thing about San Francisco?

To me, a name is made. I have some friends that sit around and spend wayyyyy too much time trying to figure out the name for their startup. What did "Google" or "Facebook" mean to anybody outside of their inner communities when they weren't the household names we know today? None of these words mean ANYTHING until they're SOMETHING.

Some people email me saying they don't like their own last name. My response? You're emailing Gary VAYNERCHUK. Let's call it what it is, Vaynerchuk SUCKS. And yea, they'll be those that tell me it's unique and kinda cool, and I get that - BUT, it's only good because I made something out of it.

And so, what does a name actually mean? To me? NOTHING.

I actually think a new trend in this short-form world we live in will be that most business names will start getting abbreviated. People used to call me "V-Chuk" because they didn't want to call me by "Vaynerchuk," and that became my slang last name. We will evolve our name to our convenience so long as it brings VALUE. And so, stop worrying about the name and start worrying about the product.

#ProTip: If your full name is available for a dot-com, go ahead and purchase it. I highly recommend it.

Shifting Ad Budgets to Digital Video

Sun, 12 Oct 2014 16:00:00 +0000

#QOTD: What do you think of the 3-question episode vs. the 5-question? Let me know!

General statements like "you should move your budget to digital video" scare me. Typically when people think about online video they think about spending 5/10% on the overall production and then 90/95% on the distribution. Of that 95% of allocated budget, they just end up pounding the users with right hooks and wind up pissing them off.

So what does online video mean to most people? It's the pre-rolls on YouTube where people end up tabbing out and don't end up consuming the content. OR, they're going to sites like ESPN.com and getting pounded by 30 second videos that waste OUR time, which I'm sure pisses most of us off.

What I'm most worried about when I hear about these allocations is that I actually like live TV commercials better than the online videos that end up blocking the users from what they actually want to do or see. As I've stressed a million times before, this comes down to providing VALUE.

So when I hear these notions versus what I know the practitioners are actually doing, it bothers me because I know that they're spending their budgeted dollars on video that is annoying customers. They end up putting these videos in places where the consumer doesn't want it, versus putting a larger percentage of the money on making better quality content and putting it in places where people actually want to consume it -- such as in native Facebook dark posts, where the user has the option to view or not.

In theory, it's great that traditional dollars are moving to digital but unfortunately people continue to misplay it because they're not focusing on providing actual VALUE.

How to Keep Your Startup Competitive

Fri, 10 Oct 2014 14:58:51 +0000

#QOTD: Who is the biggest influence in your life right now?

As an entrepreneur, I default into assuming it's always going to be competitive. It doesn't matter if "nobody is in your space" because if you're any good, and you've figured something new out, EVERYBODY is going to be in your space eventually.

To me, competition between startups is the same old game: Better product, better service, better execution. Those are the things that will drive your business.

When you're David, you shouldn't play Goliath's game. When you're Goliath, you should CRUSH David.

Here's an example: Did anybody think it was weird that, for three years, I NEVER mentioned VaynerMedia. The truth there was that my size (or my lack thereof) was my advantage, and I couldn't let these other big guys know how huge we were getting! I was learning the landscape. Now that we've got the money and the scale to compete, you'll see that I'm talking about it more.

The important thing is to NEVER PLAY THE OTHER PERSON'S GAME.

What's the Deal With Ello?

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 14:05:55 +0000

#QOTD: Would you pay $10 a month for Ello?

Look the bottom line is that Ello raised venture capital. The investors are looking for a return on their investment, so they're going to have to figure out a business model. So the question becomes, if they're not going to sell your info to advertisers, are they going to charge a fee to use the service? Now look they may come up with something totally new and innovative, and God bless Ello if they do. I'm rooting for everybody all the time.

My big thing is that **people don't care if you're selling their data**. We actually want targeted ads. When I'm in the market for another pair of Nikes, I WANT to see ads for them. Now there are those of you who disagree, but the data shows it. We'll take them when they go from ads to content.

So here's the thing:

1. I think the way Ello is financially structured has vulnerabilities.

2. This has happened before with things like Diaspora. It didn't work.

3. I'm not in love with the actual product, but I'm glad they're moving and innovating.

I'm not Nostradamus. I like to make my call when I actually see something happening, and so I think it's too early to say that, but my intuition says they're going to eventually charge, which is going to turn a lot of users off.

Am I an Entrepreneur or Not?

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 14:05:24 +0000

#QOTD: Who is the person that you are SO afraid of letting down, it's keeping you from starting something big?

It was so incredible to participate in Dave Ramsey's event. Thanks to everybody who came out, and a HUGE special thanks to the lovely people who stayed after to help me make this episode.

To me there is no such thing as "an entrepreneur with a JOB." If you're a true entrepreneur, you can't breathe when you have a JOB. If you're not out there making it happen and running a business, you're not an entrepreneur, you're a person with entrepreneurial tendencies. Now that's fine. As long as you're HAPPY that's what matters.

How to Stop Your Industry from Getting Stale

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 14:04:43 +0000

#QOTD - What are the first three sites you look at in the morning?

I always find that the best way to attack your own industry and innovate is to spend *zero* time in it. I spent an extreme lack of time in the wine industry, and I spent almost no time dealing with the "agency world" right now. I think I've been to like six other agencies because we had meetings there, but that is literally it. I don't read AdAge, I don't ask my senior people what they did at other agencies.

For me, my lack of industry knowledge, and my lack of education have actually allowed me to innovate even more. I go with what I think works, not with what everybody else in the industry is doing.

So pay attention to the food industry, or the rock-climbing business. The best way to not innovate is to pay attention to everybody else in the business, because they're just doing the same crap, too.

Are Kids Using Too Much Tech?

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 14:04:10 +0000

#QOTD: What is your favorite restaurant right this second?

If you were to go back to a caveman and ask him what he thinks of our media consumption today, he would reject it. it would be weird and unnatural. But the fact of the matter is that it's where we are today, and technology is just a part of our world. I'm not the dad who is going to tell my kids to "get off the computer and go play!" Frankly our kids are already eating a hell of a lot better than we ever did at that age.

Kids are just growing up to be different characters than we are. Information is a commodity, so they're not going to be as "fact-smart" as we were, but they're going to be much more intuitive about learning how to use new systems.

Sure I'm worried about them being active enough, but if you're a good parent you can make your kids do literally whatever you want. What I'm *not* going to do, though, is restrict Xander's time on the iPad.

How to Market a Kickstarter Campaign

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:59:56 +0000

#QOTD - What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

Just because you decided to build a business through Kickstarter doesn't mean you should be thinking about it's promotion differently. Facebook Dark Posts targeting people interested in related products, Medium updates in blog form, GUEST CONTRIBUTING! Email every single blog, regardless of size, in the industry relating to your product and reach out and say "I'd like to guest contribute to your publication" in a way that't not spammy. It's all about creating content, and not about creating infomercials.

To many of the people watching this show, when they hear about content marketing, think "Billy Mayes infomercial." When I think about it, I think "New York Times" or "Scandal."

The Big Difference Between Sales and Branding

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:59:22 +0000

#QOTD: What will the results of the Jets-Lions game be?

Look, I'm a salesman. I'm all about the CTA (Call to action), but at the end of the day we're talking about the difference between sales and branding. Anybody can be a great salesman, but creating a great brand is something totally different.

Being a Nike, being a Puma, as opposed to just selling sneakers, is totally different.

Sometimes I don't go for the CTA, sometimes I don't go for the popup, or the other growth-hacking techniques. The reason for that is I believe in the Jabs. I believe in branding. I believe that there is a time and a place. I believe there's context.

In a 2015 world, people watch this show, and they see that I'm not selling them anything; that I'm taking the time to do this in my favorite place in the world (the Jets' parking lot). Sure I COULD throw some call to action at them, but by asking for that, I leaving something huge on the table. That person has the ability to google me, find out more, and develop a real relationship with my brand, but by selling up front, I could very well ruin that. By trying to score on the first date, I could be passing up the chance to get married.

Video Views, App Marketing, and Time Management

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:58:43 +0000

#QOTD: 1) How do you like your iPhone 6? 2) What do you think about the Ali Baba IPO?

I love it when a random question leads me back to my core value: Create content (JAB) to grow the audience, and then sell (RIGHT HOOK) them your product. It's so simple, it's so straightforward, and it applies to just about ANY situation where you want to sell something.

Teachers, Gender Equality, and a Wine Review

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:58:04 +0000

#QOTD - What's your favorite tailgate food? (Lurkers, I'm looking at you!)

A wine review?! THAT'S RIGHT BABY! We're bringing it back to my roots for episode 20. Back to the show, though, I get the gender question a lot, and it's always kind of baffling to me. VaynerMedia is 63% female, a number that's equally reflected at the top levels of management. I guess it's just something I never think about because the simple math reveals everything I'd say anyway.

Prepare for War!

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:57:26 +0000

#QOTD: Can we make a deal? I want to get my show distribution, and I want to talk to YOU about getting it on your blog.

HEY LURKERS! Yes I'm talking to you. My favorite part about the old WLTV days was having a real community of commenters who I could rely on to be there day after day. FEEDBACK IS MY OXYGEN, so get in there and TALK TO ME!

The Ultimate Drug

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:56:46 +0000

#QOTD: What do you think of the new http://garyvaynerchuk.com ??

The fact that I can (and have) effected and touched so many people is absolutely mindblowing to me. Buying the Jets is will happen one day, but even if it doesn't I take enormous pride in the fact that I've already cemented my legacy as a person who can communicate and engage at scale.

Dropping F-Bombs

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:56:11 +0000

#QOTD: Share something about yourself in the comments. I want something to cheer me up!

Sorry I'm in just a bad mood today, guys. Miss America was a totally amazing experience, but the Jets game yesterday really put me on a bad track for this week.

On the plus side, I got to share some new facts about how I built up VaynerMedia this episode.

Collecting People

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:55:14 +0000

#QOTD: What was the hardest decision you've ever had to make?

If the Apple Watch is one thing, it's predictable. I think when I say "we're all going to become robots" people think I'm kidding, but I really mean it. Over the next 100 years, evolution is just going to take us there.

Pareto's Principle

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:54:20 +0000

#QOTD: What state do you live in?

I'm just not that interested in other people's rules. I mean thinking like that can be really helpful for some people, but I've only ever done what felt right, and I think layering on some kind of framework on top of it starts to create a product. Value your authenticity!!

Refuse to Lose!

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:53:45 +0000

#QOTD: Where's your favorite vacation spot?

#mini-QOTD: Sound off if you have discovered me because of this show!

Loving these video questions, but definitely try to keep them to under 30 sec! Today's episode had a really special energy to it. Maybe it was Nate's cameo. Maybe it was all the talk about soccer and tennis. Maybe it was the fact that I got to work some good old-fashioned #humblebrag action in at the end. Whatever it was, this is a really truly fun episode, and perfect to share with any of your friends who might not know about The #AskGaryVee show yet.

The Hype Artist

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:52:02 +0000

#QOTD: What's your fantasy football lock for this week?

It feels so amazing to be back from vacation and in the VaynerMedia offices hustling again! Did you miss me? Today we went all out! There are plenty of guests, and plenty of REAL answers. I mean it. It gets a little weird today, but that is the point of this show: for me to be 100% honest and deliver as much value as I possibly can.

Diplomas, not GPAs

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:51:22 +0000

#QOTD: What are you doing this weekend?

Guys, I'm so serious. If a winery in Napa started doing unbiased wine reviews from around the world, it would be HUGE. When one of you does it, you can thank me later ;) I'll see you all in a couple of weeks when I get back from vacation. I hope you all get to spend tons of time with your families, and I can't wait to answer your questions in September!

Ridiculously Hard and Obnoxiously Smart

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:50:44 +0000

#QOTD: What did you think of today's episode?

In today's episode we examine one of my least favorite actions: complaining. We also talk about cute old ladies, Facebook's organic reach, and why I'm so obnoxiously lucky to be living in America and doing what I'm doing.

Ice Bucket Billionaire

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:50:02 +0000

#QOTD: Who in your family inspires you the most?

Today we a very special episode of The #AskGaryVee show. I've been holding off on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge for awhile now, but when my man Michael called me out, I knew I had to make the move! So now I challenge YOU, VaynerNation, to get out there, soak yourselves, and DONATE!

#QOTD: What other personalities in the video world are you enjoying content from?

Getting into some long-winded answers today! It's a really great sign, too, because it's clear that you guys are asking me amazing questions, so I really want to give some of them the time they deserve. Also be sure to hit me up on CyberDust tomorrow (@garyvee) so I can answer some of your more personal questions.

Friction Sucks

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:46:57 +0000

In this episode we talk about getting familiar with Facebook advertising, my love for my family, and the magic of red-headed quarterbacks. On top of that we get into being grateful, being right, and being patient. Three of my favorite things!

Personal Branding and Brett Favre

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:46:04 +0000

In this episode I talk about the importance of my wife, my health, and the fact that Brett Favre had a brief stint as a NY Jet. I also ask the most important question of all: Are you actually bringing value to your consumers?!

3 Small Businesses with Itsy Bitsy Cash

Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:32:56 +0000

Guys THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BORING BUSINESS! Do you have any idea how many people are in the market for DIY content? A hardware store is literally DROWNING in potential content. Also in this episode, I get into how music producers can use social media to market their products. Watch now!

How to Utilize Native Ad Platforms

Wed, 01 Oct 2014 16:00:00 +0000

Welcome to the first episode of my new show! This is the perfect way to start things off as we get into some nitty gritty about long-term business goals, Facebook dark-posts, and even non-profits. This is the beginning of a new era, my friends. Get ready!
