#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?
#Timestamps:
0:00 Intro
01:49 - What is your view on franchising your company when you can’t be sure if others will care for the brand in the same way?
03:59 - What are your practical #HustleHacks when it comes to diet, sleep, and your daily routine? How do you maintain energy and brainpower while hustling non-stop
06:02 - I am growing my business and looking to include partners for content. What’s the best way to recruit them? Money/promise of exposure?
09:35 - I feel as though online courses are usurping traditional education in a big way. Do you see this happening? and is there money to be made?
10:53 - As an artist I find it difficult to apply much of the business advice that’s out there. How would you advise the artists, craftsmen and makers like myself who will never fit any corporate mold?
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.

    It blows my mind that this video has under 50k views! Going back to watch all your older content 1st to see how you've evolved and learn from that. Keep crushing it! 👊🏼👊🏼

    Hey, since I was always eating while LISTENING you show now watching much, It is better to have someone reading it even if you show the pictures. I guess no Cuz I am watching this in 2017

    Gary I still haven't joined social media so I think this question does't apply to me.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cslush 2669 says:

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Taz Smith says:

    I enjoy the Instagram, and i woul submit one.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vancouver, BC says:

    Hey Gary, Knowning that you aren't using instagram on your current show, I'm guessing that ship sailed and didn't stick. I wasn't a fan of it because the questions were too long and then I had these big photos, plus all the content you gave back. So a lot more going on for my brain to follow. Which would be fine, it I didn't consume data all day long already.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erik Frankhouse says:

    1. Great change of pace and the visual element is something I always look for in video. Placing a face to a question make that person take ownership.

    2. Without a doubt.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Carmen Contreras says:

    Great content, very useful thanks a lot.
    i'm not sure if i should answer those now, since its 8 months late… Fun on insta, although short vids are cooler 😉

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robin Norgren says:

    you have definitely opened my eyes to the value of instagram ***** and I actually find that in that space is where I feel I can express myself MOST authentically.  Getting to this episode late in the game but if I come up with a 'worthy' question YES I will follow the 'new' (now probably old!) format
