Like if you would have told 17 year old me that my creation would be in the wild in a Toys R Us it'd be it would be very I had very big Ambitions and I thought and continue to think I could do anything but. um, that one would have hit. That one would have hit the real way. So many people underestimating how scary it may get in the next three to six months with the macro economy.
Get thoughtful, look at that credit card statement and see how many things you're paying for each month doing whatever the you do to cope with hating your job. How about spending those hours after the job that you hate Because you have bills to pay I Get it and responsibilities to figure out how the to get out of it. See what people understand about content creating is when done right. It's not even about your intended or current audience, it's empowering your intended and current audience to contextualize it within their world and then give it to their audience.
Content creation when it comes from good intent is just absurd. It lives forever. How about the piece of content I made yesterday that didn't hit and 19 and a half years from this second. somebody that really matters grabs it, re-contextualizes it, and it does hit.
You're never out when you put out good content, it's never over. There have been people here since the opening of our doors this morning. Is that right? That's insane. I'm so humble.
So humbled. Real man. This is unbelievable. I'm very humbled on Dan Peterson Official on uh I know exactly pink logo I know exactly who you are, What you have done for people globally is on just ungodly and um, it's trickled down now.
Second generation. On to my kids because I'm preaching the same stuff to them. gratitude perspective and it's starting to make a difference and it's a special man. I Really appreciate you seeing that brother.
That's something that more people need I agree. It's why I built a whole universe because I'm just one man but with three characters I can build infrastructure for many years after I'm around. Yeah, it's it's really crazy. This is surreal.
Thank you brother. I'm very flattered. Oh my God. I've never seen one of these open.
Here we go dust my first blind box. You get to open it. I've not seen one of these open. Let's go epic.
I Opened I I bought six I opened five and that's the sixth one. Crazy. It's crazy to me like after all my years of collecting things like this, for that to be out of my mind, that out of my own head, it's unreal. Yeah, of course.
Appreciate you Appreciate you back brother. I'm 25 and like I'm a DJ but also working as building a media production company like when you're in. like two things for the heads. how do you foot what do you give your most attention to? Whatever the I want to get my attention to Yeah, there's no right answer to focus.
Yeah, if you're in the mood to focus on DJing for three weeks you do that. Yeah yeah and then you get like oh my production company like people think there's a rule on Focus right focus on where the you want to focus on I do Thank you man got you Emily Nice to meet you So I me and my business partner just founded a creative agency and like my business partner is doing amazing on like the networking front like great like he's making so many connections and stuff but I like have a really hard time like networking and stuff like do you have any advice of like how to like start conversations like how to like just get better at Like Making Connections The only way to get better at networking is realizing why you're scared of people's judgment. It's it's something I deal with like my hope it's not about a technique, it's why do you actually worry that if Dustin you come up to him and want to network him and he's like no, why does that make you feel bad you need to figure that out exactly. That's right. let me give you the secret yeah it doesn't matter Dustin Yeah right? just saying you Dustin say it was good. It'll make me happy, it'll make it'll make my day. It's like a photo if you can remember that moment and realize all of them are. Dustin Yeah, it's not like you really.
it's like don't value someone's opinion about you more than the value that you put on yourself about you I know I Got to I Gotta do this. So start practicing what happens next, you practice. Okay, you like really practice. Yeah, you just go and actually Network and just do it and like feel the pain and the awkwardness until it's gone.
Okay yeah, thank you so much you're welcome. So uh, my parents just retired and then I'm basically their like retirement account. Yeah, like financially. So how do you deal with the fact of you know the pressure of having to like give their money? Possibly I See, it's fine, but I don't know like what to do.
They say it's fine as in if you don't got it Yeah, so are you putting on that pressure yourself? They don't have the money though, but are you are? You have to rule that your ego is not being tied up in it because if they're willing to live humbly based on the reality of their finances, you may be putting on just pressure and building unjust resentment towards them based on your ego wanting that for you bro. It might be that I didn't think about it. That's a curveball, right? Yeah, well you I didn't get here by my looks dude. I'm telling you there's a lot in there.
All right, All right? I'll work on it. work on that. I'll tell you that the Hustle video literally like the single most motivated piece of content I've ever seen. So I was going through some stuff and it really yeah like that man you know it's so funny.
Like people a lot of my friends ask me like why I still do the content because they think I should worry about all this other stuff that can make me money and I'm like if they understood what that sentence to me from you feels like it's better than every people are so confused about what life's about. Thank you for saying that means a lot to me Bro, you're gonna die. It was a close time. yeah bro. that one really with me like it's real like I don't think people realize I had to wear it. that's good I got it from Instagram I know I Remember who do I make this happen? uh Javi J-a-v-y Yeah man I Appreciate everything 2019 Man just moved back to Chicago Funds are running low, no work I started flipping everything documenting it. Fast forward to today. Just bought a four bedroom house to my girlfriend I Just started my dream job at a marketing agency down the street.
I'm proud of you Yeah, without your advice man I appreciate it I'd love to be a small part I Literally real business. good for you. That's what I was doing on this side. Good for you Yeah you came in proper thank you I noticed it right away You're So Dope thank you Gary thank you for you being you.
Honestly I know so many people tell you this but like I appreciate and are so grateful for the text messages and sometimes the random ones just come. Okay I know because they're like real Universal that I'm feeling at that moment I'm so grateful thank you Gary thank you so much. Stay well everything I Have advice of course Yeah how would you find like your passion in life and what's your like? you know advice. A person missing their life.
So I think I think people are struggle with passion because they overthink the financial part of it. so a lot of people's passion is cooking or video games or gardening or watching movies. but their brain says I can't build a business watching movies. Also it seems like it's always like end up building a business Yeah because when people ask me Gary what's my passion they're really asking me Gary what can I make money on that I also like am I right and I think that what happens is people over rationalize the business part.
but if you actually focus on the passion part for real I love Star Wars I love Legos I love skateboarding that then when you take a stick back with content and everything Now Podcast Tick Tock blogs you can make anything a business anything but you need to have a thing which you like to do right? I Believe that the reason you have to focus on your passion is if you love it. it doesn't feel like work and if it doesn't feel like work, you can do it 10 12 hours a day which is what's required to give a business by yourself a chance to succeed. You can't nine to five yourself to a one percent life yeah and how to find things you loved and try I think you know the answer I bet you she can tell me things you like. It's really all what you told about cooking games.
He likes them all. You just started from all all of them. Gregory all of them can be the business but you don't think it can and then you once you realize that then you start making content and you're like oh my accent no I grew up with family the whole time. my parents don't blame their accent, nobody gives a it's even better. just gotta make thanks for hanging in line. Oh no yeah, no problem of course. um I feel like I don't know, it's really quick I feel like I'm stuck in my work I Got a good job of making a decent amount of money but like I'm not passionate about it at all I'm looking working long hours. it's like I'm just stuck and I don't know what I want to do? Really Yeah.
so I think what you do is you really ask yourself what things most get you going. Music Sports Food, video games I'm gonna trust selling stuff on Amazon or anything just so I could just get out from the job and don't feel over pressure to quit just yet. You're so young, yeah, like you're so yeah bro. like you could do this thing for another two years and be practical and get a paycheck.
and then at 28, find the thing you want. Yeah, so don't put overdue pressure on yourself to quit now with no answer with no answer is unacceptable. Not fighting to find an answer is unacceptable. No I gotta yeah, you like that one.
You'd like that that caught you right? That's I Thought that was a good one too. I like that because it's the truth. Thank you so much. Stay well how are you insane I came.
This is like not even real right now but I've been following you to do some high school like and as much as it's just insane finally being with you like lots of words right now. but thank you changed my life and um I have followed some other stuff like I'm a photographer I like to do photography yes um and I I've done like the things you know uh like I try to do concepts yeah and you know ahead of people and they said hey can I yeah you know you're a veteran. I'll do it for free Yeah, I'll give you edited pictures this and that and I've been doing it for quite a while is I've been doing photography for a year? Yeah, but I've been blessed because I've been I've covered many events here in Chicago I was even at Vcon I took some dope pictures of you. um and hopefully I can be part of the media team maybe 2023.
we're around. but my one of one of the biggest things is my family. They're supportive but they it is. They don't think it's a real job, it's it's more of like okay, you're not getting paid like they every single time I do an event or something they're like like let's say I do but it's only been a year let's say let's say but it's only been a year and they every single time I come from an event they're like okay, how much but what how much but why? Why is? Why is there conversation matter in this equation? Uh, can you read that again? Yeah, of course.
uh, what's like, why are we valuing their commentary I Guess because my family thinks I'm wasting my time and what do you think about what they do I think like you know I don't I don't know that's the end of the story. Every single time they just ask me like how much do they pay? Do they do they pay? for your lifestyle? Yeah, no they don't and they have no say yeah yeah, it's just it's just a repeating conversation with them. Don't have the conversation. Say it nice, don't be a dick. Say it nicely. Be like who are we talking about Mom Dad Brother who Grandma I Love my Grandma Good grandma. Just grandma Yeah Be like Grandma I Love you now. shut your mouth.
Don't say that. but you know what I mean right? Be like Grammy I got you I love you I know you care about me I'm doing this. This is a wrap. This is not a combo Grandma I know what I'm doing yeah I've got time to get paid The end I Love you.
but we're not having this combo no more. That's it sometimes. I Guess yeah. Thanks Thanks baby.
I got you. Okay, it's real. she'll Honestly, you'll be surprised how much she respects it. Four Three Two One Beautiful.
Grandma's grandmas are gangsters. They are. They know you show her conviction. You'd be surprised what happens.
You show her softness like you might be right? Grandma then it all gets up. Yeah, you understand it's great to see you how you been. It's great to see you again Dude, it's good to see you again bro. Good to see you Same yeah, thank you.
This is so much of course. here we go. It was a game changer, right is one word for it. brother.
Magical. It's awesome. It's something very very very special. Thank you Bro! like I'm seriously so humble to be a part of it.
Thank you and just man I Love read the new stuff bro. Thank you bro. Can I sign something that means a lot to me Bro. Thanks! Um can you write? Don't care about yeah? um I've been following you from April and I'm watching a video I Know this you talk a lot about like conquering fear.
um and I just put my job in a traditional Finance into D5 and good for you? Yeah, you're welcome I'm proud of you. That's a big jump Yeah I know um what did your family think about that? Um, they don't understand but I don't I don't care about that for you. You could always go back. yeah I know you don't want to I Know you don't want to say that, but you can People don't realize like the most interesting part of taking the jump and trying something new is that the thing that you're leaving is always there.
There's a billion finance jobs. Yeah, good for you. Proud of you. What is the number one reason you stopped working with family? Me personally Yeah Serendipity my the first one was my dad.
you know, like my brother was coming up the game and you know I would argue I mean in the last 48 hours I had a significant talk about Vayner Sports and Wine Library so I don't necessarily I'm not necessarily out of it a minute day to day but the first one was I was 34 I felt that I gave my dad what I needed to give him my brother was coming up I wanted to work with him. the second one was my brother left Vayner to start to do Vayner Sports because he wasn't enjoying it wasn't feeling well. so I I don't I don't think there's ever a reason to or not to do business with family I Just think when you know it's not right or you know it's right, you should do Yeah, you know what? I mean there's no supposed to. it's just you got to deal with the reality. Are you in it? yeah? I am. You may think by not talking about it, you're doing the right thing for the relationship. Yeah, you're actually doing the wrong thing for the relationship. Every day in your stomach, it's going to build more and more resentment.
Think about how you feel now versus two years ago. now. think what's going to be hit in two years. In two years it's going to burn and eventually you're gonna burst.
So before you burst, come with love and empathy for them. But but speak your truth and hope that they can hear it. And if not, then at least you know you tried to do it the right way. Yeah, and I could ever fall back Every time in my life when I didn't speak to it up front and held it, it didn't work out for me every time.
Yeah, and I'm good at it. But 93 leaves seven percent of my life that I have regrets and sadness and it was up. But that's all you're always gonna have regrets. But the reality is you just speak to them now before.
It's really a problem First delay, but come with love and understanding for them. But speak your truth because if you wait, you're going to come in hot and it's going to be a mess to begin with. Yeah I Get you. last time I met you I have an anti-racism non-profit I Remember it very vividly because you you hit me because it got me when I left.
you went after me I Remember my shoulder. You said it's marketing. it's branding. They got bad information I double down I'll be hitting at it the U.N the actual United Nations I Didn't even know they had a music arm.
it's called the International Music Council They reached out to my nonprofit. They said I saw what you're doing on Social. Seems like we're aligned I've met with the President of the International Music Council and we're trying to do our work man. Yeah, I can't thank you enough.
He's so proud of you. Thank you! I Give a lot of ideas, but a lot of people don't do anything about it. I'm so proud of you I remember it like yesterday. I'm proud of you brother.
Hope to see you again I Can't wait. Take care I'm the coins Maddox CEO It's such a pleasure to be cute. What's good it's so nice to meet you is where I have a question for you please. Okay, what are the ingredients to the perfect pitch? Because I need to know I'm trying to get a d we make like you the the I think the ingredients are deep conviction in your product.
Okay, the con conviction in your product. deep empathy for the person selling it. deep empathy for the person selling. So think about that right? Everyone's like I want this from you Macy's are you worried about what Macy's worries about? So what? I do you understand? So I try to reverse engineer what's important to them. that's that empathy, empathy and then finally reps reps. I've asked for things like this: 7 300 times more reps because once they keep rejecting you, you start learning to why exactly. So I'm with Gary Gary within 20 seconds. What's your best advice for people that are just ready to like? Give up and they don't know what to do anymore Like they've failed so many times, they're just ready to give up.
What's your best advice? You're only one good idea away from having all of that be past history. The thought of giving up makes absolutely no sense. The odds of being alive is so rare. Squeeze the out of the opportunity.
Wow wow that was amazing. How are you? do you remember me from Vikon? Of course Dude, you were so hyped it's so good to see you again. It was crazy I found out that I was going to Becon from you know, the mindful Runner yes he gave me a ticket I Called my friend we went there my first fight although my mom was scared out of her mind. Such a pleasure to meet you! I'll let him talk first because yes please Yes like when I was 11.
Yes! wanted the Star Wars Bobble heads? Yeah Yes! I got avocados from our backyard. My friends caught them over we climbed the trees, we drove out to the corner, screamed up and down, got every single car to stop bypass. Yep. I did stock trading, started a podcast, interviewed people interviewed kid entrepreneurs.
that's all entrepreneurs. Then I did content creation without a whole thing. Yes another video with you. that was my best ever performing video.
Thank you and now I'm doing some Nft stuff good for you I'd love to be friends Community thank you with that thank you and I just wanted to ask any advice you have. Listen honestly when I hear that when you're a child and you want something and you're willing to climb trees and go on the corner and sell it, that's that's what I come from. The advice is the the reason I push patients so much is the only thing that can derail you is if you want it too fast because you clearly have it in you already. So that doesn't mean to temper your ambition or your aspiration or your tenacity, but it's not compromising your values to be financially successful.
Patience because you said you said. um, thinking slow in the long term but being faster every day, right? That's right. Macro, slow, micro fast and on that I think and I know that I have the ability to be something big and I want to work at Vayner and five ten years I'll be ready I'll be ready. Do you think it would be possible to spend a week shadowing? Yes I want him to Shadow team Gary for a week Done! I'm coming to New York I'll shout out with someone it's done I Love it. Thank you. you're welcome. Thank you Foreign I Gotta tell you, you've changed my life I Almost died in a motorcycle accident last year I'm so sorry to hear my neck, my collarbone I Got three kids family to support your words and inspiration. Got me out of my job into Nfts.

Yeah now I'm hurting from me and I can't get a job when I want to do yeah yeah I would go yeah because that one isn't emotional, it's practical Financial and what that's going to do is corrode your emotional. So what you do is you do go back but in parallel. Well, first of all, you're talking about the exact same job because they're offering it and they're giving me more. I Would say yes just because you need it for now.
Hopefully because you did that, it might be better and then also think about why you were miserable. Were you not communicating to them? Do you just like you know what? I mean You're holding on some resentment, flush it, make the more money and then also restart and equally in parallel. fly the plane while you're fixing it. Keep doing it you know becomes at night instead of all day.
Yeah, got it. Thanks for your time. Yeah, don't never let ideology up reality. You know what I mean the theory of like I'm not going back that you need it if you need the money.

Yeah, but by not doing, you're letting yourself down by the second. That's not the answer. Nobody wants to change. The world is worried about messing up to themselves.
There's somebody in your life that is holding judgment on you that carries clout on you. Who is it? I Don't know. Maybe growing up, my mom was tough on me to be like the best, right? That was? That was hard, right? And when you're taught to be the best, you're scared to do out of the boundaries because outside the lane of good in school, get engineered job outside of it. That shit's risky.
You figured out the lane. It's why you're a mechanical engineer and designing everything is you just. you have to figure it out. So if you're gonna change the world, you got to be in outer space because there's nobody changing the world going down the same. Highway If you don't try, if you don't try to do some outside the lane. I Have to. you're going to regret it. Your whole life foreign.
So just do it like you have to probably talk to your mom about it. Things are different now. but definitely And she's gonna be scared for you, right? Yeah, of course. and you love her and you don't want to scare her or disappoint her.
But you're disappointing yourself. Definitely. And if you disappoint yourself, you're eventually going to be disappointed at your mom instead of worrying about disappointing her. And that's worse.
I Didn't even realize that it was something that would still be affecting me. Of course it is. Of course It is all that that we deal with on the come up. It's in there and we gotta work through it.
All of us got it. All of us got it. You could do it. You're welcome.
I'm gonna give you some context. Um, don't make me lose this. Uh, scared to lose that. Thanks for everything.
Like you're changing people's life in a very positive way. so usually it's the other way around you'll give people stuff. So I met the guy at V Khan who's Italian he was Napoli this jacket is from him. He stayed at my place in the Bronx when he came and that's for you.
He made it in in Naples where they actually produce all those fancy clothing in there. Yeah it looks amazing. So this is different. that envelope I gave to him I want to read it I want to read it from him.
Let's make sure I Don't lose this team. This is fresh. Look at this foreign and this is my present for you I knew you were watching. uh that's my present for you I heard you liked it I like I like them a lot.
Yeah that's awesome brother. Thank you. And last but now please I Met Andy at the Kyle concert and then he was super nice. It was super nice.
Where is Andy is he here? Yeah it is here. Where's Andy Oh we left. yeah we'll get that. we'll get this to Andy Yeah you're very sweet and yeah I don't need a picture I'm here for the moment.
Just remember my name. Memo because I'm going to be your number one blockchain solution architect soon when the time is right I Can't wait. Memo All right. Take care my friend please I Can't as many as you can? Whatever, what's your names my name is David that's Lauren Lauren Lauren where are you guys from Worcester What part? oh Westchester yeah what part? uh Port Chester Port Chester my brother lives in Larchmont that's why I was asking yeah I'm from Poland but I live in Connecticut Very nice.
So I have given an opportunity I know this is like not the right place to do it but there's every pla every place is the right place. we're gonna get this for Vayner or for be friends or which one Whatever get this generous What do you do? Um so I go to I'm doing corporate laws and I work Photoshop well for an agency with case management with different population mental and do you want to get a job within legal it's great. We're hiring there a lot helping people to like like she's the perfect fit for your company I believe because she embodies everything that you preach and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have not anything about you. So I'm very excited I'm so nervous. Don't be nervous. It's so nice for you guys. Today was about really the idea of like the people that you came up with your family even though they might have been selling fear and telling you you can't and be careful. In all this, it's not real that if you can hear your own voice in the midst of all of those voices that carry a lot of clout with a young person when you're a child, your parents, the world, their voice is loud, but when you get older, it's imperative to make your voice louder than all of theirs.
And that's hard. That's very hard to hear it because she struggles with that. Of course, so much of us do. We all are biped at some level.
Every one of us is a byproduct of it, and not all of us are as lucky to have pure optimism and positivity. That's what I had from her, so it was easy, you know, but not everybody has that. and I mean we're usually the one that gives out the positivity. but it always happens.
Of course, because you have your own set of circumstances, you know I spend a lot of time reading it even though it was very simple just because I wanted to like, let everything marinate and really let it. And once and what if most for you I would say empathy, accountability and gratitude. Talk to me about accountability. Nobody takes responsibility for the accident, Everybody wants to blame somebody else exactly.
It's just in real life, real life happens in relationship happens with absolutely everything. Everything so factors. The fact of the matter is if you start taking more accountability and taking a step back and saying what did I have to after this exactly I could resign from this job. maybe not person that is this like everything can come back to you always forever.
Very solid point that an empathy also I think that was just starting to feel for others. Yeah because you've had to go something in the book about if someone I think there was an episode of someone had stole from. yeah and so don't let that make and or going like down. yeah you said let me take a step back they may be in the situation.
It's what ended up happening by the man. the man bird is back at the store and started to take pain medicine and that's what made him flip his switch. Oh see look at that it's it's real man. let's take his photo.
So I work for Macy's but uh when they told me you were coming here I'm like you gotta get it I gotta meet this guy. everybody's sitting here and they're like oh yeah you're talking about him a couple months ago I'm like I'm not even talking about him for years like but just a couple things like you really changed the way I perceived the idea of like you know you don't have to, You don't have to be a killer, You don't have to be, You know you don't have to be Machiavelli in business you're not sure do things like that way you know the idea of uh you. You know you could be the you could be the star actor in your own play. You could be the director of your own play. That's right. Why don't you want an Emmy as a supporting 100 I Believe that right? Like every day you go into business I'm like I've spent so much time I can tell you the first video I ever watched of you which one was it Yeah, so it was. You were sitting in like a little round table with a couple of business guys and uh uh people and uh someone was telling you about like how come my team doesn't work as hard as I do and you're like how many people you got you said 40 like I wish I had four to do like that worked for me and you said let me ask you a question what I would do is I would go breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next four weeks I meet every single one of them, see what motivates it all right? So it makes them tick and like. that gave me a lot to understand that the more you invest in people and you stop thinking about Capital your time as money you think about your time.
Capital You know you want passive income right? You want your money to be working when you're not working, you invest your hours. You invest your time. People are going to work for you 100 right? Steward of their of their dreams. They'll be a steward of your thoughts.
The level of selfishness is absurd, as if these people's lives are predicated. to me, it's insane for me every day when I work with them I'm like why is this good for them right? I don't understand how people don't understand that at the end of the day I hope that people look at me and they say you know you cared, you tried 100 do the best that I can. All that and so I just think that like you're a big part of that. That means a lot to me and I think you I think you post awesome content out there.
Thank you I'm not I Don't know enough about the Nft space? Yeah, I'm good with that. But there's there's the Garyvee that's before the Nft. The Gap part of me is like animals jumping. but well, that part the garyvee thing it was was there before when only those three people knew who I was.
Yeah, like new technologies don't change anything. It's all the same. like this: IP is being built on the blockchain right into physical right. But being a genuine human being is the punch line.
Yeah, yeah. I Love it. It's awesome. Thank you brother.
Yeah, it means a lot to me. Thank you.
Gary's quest to become a BILLIONAIRE. that is all that matters.
Best advicer GaryVee
I love your videos ❤❤
“Grandma’s are Gangsters!” 😂 Gary V is the best. He’s always given the best advice. Aerial Agents biggest takeaways from all the years of listening to Gary.
-channel your passion
-find white space
-take massive action
He’s got the playbook for every move and none of it is out of bounds.
I love this. Met Gary at the Chicago Veefriends event and saw him standing for 3+ hours, greeting, hugging, and giving genuine advice to each person. He really cares ❤.
Gary Vee is so inpiring. Thank you for all you do! You pushed me to start making content and although I know that i do not make enough right now I am working on it and just putting things out there! thank you Gary vee 2023 is gonna be my year!
Highly recommended!
Tips are great but 36minutes of free resources to start businesses or outlining all the details involved and at least framing it correctly.
Not everyone has the means to wait for stuff to grow – if we had UBI i would agree, at least a disclaimer "this advice is for those that don't have ton actually work or dont have to worry about rent/food and supplies to create content" "user must make 45k take home to be able to use this advice"
It would give at least a frame.
I love that Gary Vee hasn’t given up on these even though his overall views have dropped off. I think it’s bc he’s so authentic and it’s post-production, but either way, it’s great
This may be one of the most valuable inspirational video for me right this moment. Thank you I swear you speak to most of my struggles since I made changes in life. Your like my internet dad bro wtf I need to buy you a drink one day. I swear I'm getting my shit together and ill come meet you when I can be the man I think I am. I'm hoping in the next 2 months. Boy won't I have a story for you. May you all have great health and success this year 2023 go get it!
