So I just want to say thank you so much thank you I need examples like you for them because they don't tell them they don't listen. So I started following Gary's advice.

If you find yourself being introvert and you want to like, try and practice getting to be out there and put yourself out there, there's no safer place than this weekend to start that process for you. so keep that in mind I Love you all thank you for being here! Enjoy! Personally a big fan and born and raised here in Indie so a thank you very much for being here and as a token of our appreciation I'll give a little backstory just as this is your second conference and you're getting things rolling. the Jets are actually the first game here in Indianapolis This so as the way that the Jets kind of helped us get on the map from a football standpoint, we are happy to help you get on the map from a convention standpoint that a from the first game here in Indianapolis You want to hear something crazy I Remember this game vividly because the move was such a big deal and I just started being into football and I I was I was nine and I was like wait teams can move towns it was like a big to-do and I remember this this game so vividly cuz it was the first game of the season that year I was super nervous thank you thank you! This is unbelievable I If you know me like something like this is like 87 times more exciting than something small.

Freeman Mcneel I remember thank you pleas very nice pleas I Really cherish this. this is really nice I got to get a quick look at all this yo first I Just want to thank every for being here I'm so excited about 2023! How did we feel about last night? Watching all of you interact with each other yesterday was by far the best part of the conference for me. and so I want everyone to be as loud as humanly possible for each other right now and I want to keep that going louder. One thing that I've noticed from a lot of you is that you reach out to me around family business.

Dynamics A very big theme. a lot of you are pondering it and what I really know is that this audience is grooming a lot of their own business partners who happen to be their children right now as entrepreneurship and side hustles and family business Dynamics are growing in society. So knowing so many of you are on this journey right now and knowing so many of you will be on this journey in the future I Thought there was no better way than to kick off Eon than to have Sasha and AJ Vaynerchuk join me up here. Love you Love you! s Strangers become acquaintances, acquaintances become friends, friends become family I Have a very strong feeling that many of the faces that I can see right now in the crowd that I flat out already know and know a lot of about you are destined to become family with each other and with this community and with myself.

And so I thought it was incredibly important to start. Von 2023 with family I Thank you for sitting through our stories I Just want you to please please be friends with each other. That is the biggest Roi of this project I Thank Sasha my dad AJ my brother and I thank all of you most for being here at Beon. Thank you's go Thank you brother made it again Snuck in yeah I like it.

Let's go keep doing it. It's packed in here. How are you good? How are you good to see you? I'm 24 okay and I really, really, really struggle with self-love So that comes from parenting or environment. Parents? Definitely.

That's okay. that's therapy that's surrounding yourself with positivity. You're in control of getting yourself out. There's like that's not like bad.

By the way. that's normal, right? That's what everyone's dealing with. So don't be dwelling on that. Be happy that you know it.

The only difference between you and most people is you figured it out already. Most people haven't even started the Journey of understanding. They don't love themselves. You're way ahead.

Oh thanks. Yeah, most people who are like, wait a minute I don't have self-love I don't have confidence they think they're behind. They're ahead. nobody.

There's such a small amount of people that are as lucky as I was, which is why I speak with caution when I talk about this. I got lucky with parents and with circumstances that I had self- Lov But like most people don't and even I've had to work through my insecurities. Yeah, you're Do you understand how lucky you are that? you know? Yeah, Do you? Yeah? Well now I do def FR You're ahead. Thanks so much.

Not behind. Thank you therapy. If you can afford it or just get positivity in your ears, that's what I need more more of that ingesting it and do not surround your. You have to cut out your friends.

You have to limit the time you interact with the negative people in your life. Yeah, that's my problem. Like if if one of your parents or both your parents are negative, you got to speak to them once a week, not three times a day, right? If you're three best friends. If one of them is negative, you got to start to cut that down.

You have to cut down negativity and you have to pump in positivity. That's the only way. that's the work. badly.

Here's the only perfect card right now. It's fire. All right. I'll take a Gary B I Love it.

Good choice. I'll take the astronaut okay and the panda panda this is and Nar this is Narwa Yep. Beautiful. All right.

App Welcome to the Von stage Ki Coie G Brother hi y'all I'm kidi K and I am the chief marketing officer for Jess FR Yes, it's good to see all of you. Um, can you guys give us a little taste of what might be coming? Heidi You want me to jump on this one? All right. So obviously pop culture, what's actually happening in the now matters quite a bit.

I I'm sure that anybody here that pays attention to the Croc Universe understands that the Jibbitz culture is a big deal and that many of you have nieces, nephews, friends, and yourself collecting jibit. So uh, clearly we are on stage. I Have no idea, you know if you can see this but we've got some Crocs on that have some jibit on them and if it zooms in nicely you can tell those are Vriends jibit. So I'm excited about this quite a bit.

You know when I think about extending the IP and creating storytelling this? This was kind of a Northstar collaboration for me and so this is a a little bit of a preview. I think we've got some more things brewing and so I think it should be a good fall or winter or whatever. our timing gets down, but we definitely have some stuff Brewing can I like throw this in the crowd. it's not like we, we're fine.

So I think I yeah I I think I think I'm going to throw all six pairs of the first pairs with jibit got it in the crowd so I'm going to do that here we go W All right.

Like if I can get the world to fall in love with accountable ant like I can tell you right now every person here would be twice as happy if they went fully accountable. If everything that's bothering you right now in a personal relationship or professionally you decide it was actually your fault and nobody else's your life would be 10 times better. Got sh in here we told you this was be that's Mr Vayner Chuck I love you I thought it was one second annual Von 2023 The first year was good so far. this blows it out of the water and do you know why can't wait for year three.

Do you know why Beon 24 is going to be the best? Because when we all get together for a private flyfish event, everybody would have already experienced fly fish which I'm really looking forward to. Oh yeah because speaking about working oh happy holidays we should probably go. We should probably go on tour. yeah we should do.

Let's see how today goes. Yeah, we may never talk again. Shout out to Von Shout out to Gary it is amazing What? uh he has built. It really is amazing what he's built.

Can I tell where this was supposed to be? Y Yeah, all right this was actually supposed to be in a bigger venue. We were actually supposed to do it on Gary's forehead. But the problem? we going to do it on the forehead. but there's not enough people in Indiana to fill that.

What we do now. let's get on our feet and welcome back to the Deon VI Gary bner put the money on the wood and if I would lock. Oh there we go. I heard that crack putting other people's opinions of yourself in front of yours? Then they go to me.
