Today's episode is an amazing fireside chat I did at @Adweek with Greg Hahn and David Greiner! We discuss how we build diverse teams at Vaynermedia and the importance of that, holding myself accountable for everything that happens in the agency, my journey to first starting Vaynermedia, making things people want to consume versus making what we want to make, why business is genuinely fun to me and much more!
Enjoy! Let me know what you thought.

    You run a company that hurts humans on a molecular level yet you enjoy the game too much to hear humanity, because your emails are telling you to stay and good boy and not break the wealth rules? What difference will you make at the end….finite resources gone, freedom gone, etc….but kindness wins.. Your kindness is where. Ive been here since 2013…what have you done for the world Gary

    Gary speaks many things true but in simpler terms of starting a successful agency, the first step would be to get experience by working with an marketing/advertising agency and from there start laying the foundation. Once you’ve an idea about how it’s done, then it’s a matter of sales & scaling up with minimal friction in the process. Makes sense?

    In order to run an advertising agency, it requires a branch of different skills you should know how to manage people, how to sell your services to the clients, how hire/fire, how to build the proper system inside your agency in order to easily control all key processes and finally you should know marketing and advertisement very well. And keep being aware about all new updates and news connected to marketing/advertising field is a must.
