The #AskGaryVee Show

On Episode 242 of the #AskGaryVee call-in show the LEGENDARY Tony Robbins stops by and co-hosts with me !! After a quick summary of Tony’s new book ‘UNSHAKEABLE,' we answer questions about how Tony and I find gratitude in our lives, the importance of diversifying our investments, and the 80/20 rule behind focusing on what's important in business while also flirting with new ideas as an entrepreneur. THIS ONE IS FIRE !!     

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. 

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 !! 

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.   

Every time I sit down with my man James Altucher we have a blast and this last time was no different. This clip you're about to listen is a sleeper and according to my team, it's one of the best audio-bites from any of my content. If you're caught up in your 9-5 or your corporate gig and want to get out, this one's for you. Take a listen and let me know what you think. 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.   

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?

My team compiled some of my stronger rants from this month of content and I'm a big fan of what they did and the momentum we've got going. It's been a crazy month and there's just so much going on. In this one we highlight the importance of doing the things you love so you can breathe, what it takes to make it long term, understanding your DNA and capitalizing it, the future of the market and how it's going to dry up, and things winners avoid in order to win. Let me know what you think !! 

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 !!! 

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. 

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.

In this soundbite the incredible Eva, who's a #60SecClub winner takes a ride with me to have our meeting. In this chat we talk angel investing, scaling a career, being patient, and something you've NEVER heard from me ... Make sure you listen to find out !                       

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 !! 

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 ;)

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. 

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. 

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  

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 !! 

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 !! 

Daymond John, judge on Shark Tank and founder of FUBU just opened a brand new co-working space in NYC called Blueprint + Co. 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 !!
