What's happening? Is it over? Get Alan He would love to do this. How there's any confusion around the concept that there is no perfect, there's only perfect for you. Are you on a journey of really being inside yourself versus looking at other people's perceived perfect? There's two ways to be Uber successful, deep confidence, deep insecurity. my happiness is completely based on Simplicity are the 12 people that I'm most infatuated with and love with healthy.

I'm driven by the Gratitude of my perspective and I do want to scale it. All of my happiness is predicated on my humility I Don't think I'm special I Try to be great, but deep down I don't have to keep up a facade content. All of those three things are way better than a verified account with tens of millions of followers. Way better than tens of millions of dollars in a bank account.

Way better than any of that. This concept that we're like trying to like get validation from others is really hurting people. I'm trying my best. My intent is there Something's Gonna work and some things aren't I'm completely convinced that there's so much more happiness and simplicity I am Garyvee and we are talking under understood.

Yep, got it. Yeah. I'll give you what's happening. Is it over Get Alan He would love to do this.

You know what? let's go to AI Disruption because this is a big topic I Think do you think AI will improve the world? Of course AI will improve the world. Every technology of significance has improved the world. Comma, It's not improved certain parts of the world. Tractors in improve the world, Cars improve the world.

If you were the biggest holder of horses that were sold for transportation, cars did not improve the world. If it's good for you, you don't complain about it. You love getting uh Doritos delivered in five minutes from gopuff, but you didn't think about the guy who lost his job at 7-Eleven because he's not selling it to you anymore. How do you think AI is going to affect artists? Should they feel threatened at all, everybody should feel threatened at all times.

Nobody should be threatened at any time. And what that means is like you're worried about AI But you might get hit by a bus tomorrow. This concept that we control life is laughable. If you're such a good artist, you're gonna be okay.

As if tomorrow, every artist is out of business. I Don't think artists should be concerned I Think artists should be concerned about are they good at selling their art meaning whether they do it for Nfts or I Just mean in general like can you get a job in an agency? All right I Gotta really go I'm so late See ya I'm good I Can I can close out of everything I'm very excited to have me on the podcast today. Gary Welcome to the show! Thank you for having me I know you used to set up signs down Oak Tree Road and tingly Lane for Lemonade Stand I Know you're used to specifically set them at a certain height so the drivers would see them. I'm curious what was actually on those signs that attracted the drivers.

what I would be in the car I would pay attention to other people's lemonade stand and garage sale signs looking out the window and I quickly at like seven or eight knew that like you couldn't read them most the times. So what the sign would say is 10 cents as big as you could imagine. Like literally the entire sign was like lemonade 10 cents and I would use black marker multiple times like I knew how to make it thick and big and simple and at eye level and then I brought that scale to the wine store before we got a computer with a printer. we used to make the signs on the displays by hand and so when I was at the register when there'd be downtime, I would make the sign regularly.

8.99 on sale for 5.99 and I Remember like how different my signs were when I first got to the liquor store versus what my dad had like, they would take a regular Sharpie and put 5.99 Mine would be like three times the size of the sign. The 5.99 was like bigger than the previous sign itself. like it was all that. This is a fun interview.

thank you for being so prepared. They're here all right I Will let you go Gary Thank you thank you. Absolute pleasure. real pleasure.

Wish you well. All right, take care. foreign. This is insane I Just like Love New York more than every other City combined it's incredible.
