1997 every conversation i had in short hills millburn springfield new jersey gary who on earth is going to buy wine on the world wide web gary's answer everyone 2006 why would anybody care about twitter when i was explaining twitter because i was an early investor in 2006 everybody thought it was the stupidest thing that i ever said they're like who cares if somebody's having a pizza gary who cares if i'm walking the dog my answer everyone i'm a purebred entrepreneur for real for real for real like documenting hey if i didn't have enough after this weekend i think i have three talks today right ridiculous there are three talks today in vegas uh there's a licensing show there's a video call video conference building brand of video in the end and then a toys r us right nice conversation a little daily be action here in vegas looking forward to it what's up boys it was really good have you come down with it i'm just starting to which is good incredible i mean considering the first year just thinking about four to seven core things i'm gonna do different next year that i'm just gonna take it to the moon really pumped we did the toy museum the the brand building for that the reaction of everyone because we were obviously lovely incognito yeah it was so fun and they're like what are you guys doing are they going we're just going to play some toys and they're like oh my god it's great i love them please don't have your opinion on nfts based on one friend's opinion on it please spend the 25 hours to understand what the blockchain actually is what it actually means how it's actually going to impact because it's going to impact everybody on earth and this is why the hundred hours of education i put in to understanding the blockchain and consumer behavior and operational functionality you got to put all these pieces together and then it starts getting interesting saying no with no education is as bad of a move as you can do garyvee thank you so much for being here thank you thank you are we on time uh we're almost we gotta hustle am i on stage in six minutes yes you are so let's move forward thank you it's really nice to be here i think business has a bad name i think we've missed branded business the brand of business is broken i think a lot of people have very honorable very kind business skills and the world thinks business is rough and sharp elbows and nice like even like it just made me like jump up a little bit this concept that the world has been pushing on us that nice guys finish last is a travesty it's a travesty that people believe that it makes people behave in ways that they don't have in their soul and it's broken and i think we have to have a new conversation i think hard skills are commoditized machine learning ai many other things that's where the commodity is it's the people that know how to lead too many people lead out of fear it's not healthy it doesn't work in the end and i just think we need to have a more thoughtful conversation i'm not talking about let's do foofy foofy entitlement everyone's now thinking about like what about these gen zeirs they don't want to do i'm not talking about that i'm not talking about like we have to do stuff of course i'm talking about people using negativity and and fear as drivers yeah nobody wants to be scared of their boss so many people so many people are struggling when i'm pushing this out because they're worried about entitlement and i understand that it is a fine balance but we just need to have a different combo because you get way more out of honey than vinegar it is documented proof but most of all the thing that bothers me the most is i watch nice people navigate their careers and try to develop less nice skills because they believe subconsciously and consciously that it gets them further and that has to be eradicated thank you thank you everybody have a great time why are we doing that i always do this working on our passions never quitting your day dreams don't got a bands or a house or a jet or the money that the internet claims we should get what i got is a drive and a soul and a sense that can spark everybody to believe in they sell hey you inspire me every day good luck pleasure i'm an old dude right but old dude it's me something all the time i'm humble two years ago i was diagnosed with ms i'm sorry and i thought that stood for money syndrome but it doesn't i had to look that up thank you brother thank you i appreciate it thank you every day is a gift today we have the people's entrepreneur mr motivational himself uh the letter of e in the alphabet essentially belongs to him for sure vaynerchuk welcome to the show thank you men i have no attachment to any of my successor accolades my parents had sex at the right second my mom raised me my circumstance built me grew up with a whole lot of little which made me super hungry my mom instilled heavy levels of kindness be nice to people in me so when i say things like that i don't think i'm special i think my parents and my circumstance was special it's why i can deal with accolades you know and hate like the reason i am me is because when i see i post something and the comments are very consistent 86 go go go go go go goat 14 scam piece of you uh my life is literally this like when people like you're the greatest of all time i'm like okay whatever when people are like you're a piece of i'm like you don't know me yeah yeah and that like and that's it where do you think parenting is going to shift really what do you think the secret's going to be for this next generation we're just in our kids too much like you know i really think from my perspective one man's point of view and by the way on the record it's really important the audacity to tell somebody how to parent their kids is ludicrous i would never have interest right these are just social observations based on getting 10 000 dm's a week and seeing what kids which is good yeah these are just i think that we need to get out of our kids sure kids are also struggling because when i was a kid and definitely everybody older than me you kind of had to figure out your for you your mommy and daddy didn't fight it out yeah yeah now we're in our kids we're fighting the teachers we're fighting the other kid and like it makes people incapable of working out and so i the thing that i don't see happening yet is i still see parents really be interested in like fighting it out for their kids i think kids need to fight out their own fights they do uh gary honestly i wish i could talk to you for six hours thank you so much for coming on the show we appreciate that as always guy thank you for tuning in as always we'll see you next week like tiki barbara now my back and coming larger i'm riding in the farm but i used to ride the martyr just got off the phone with gary b he taught me to go harder feel pretty on fire there focused clear vision a lot of fun good energy i like i like podcasts that three before guys or gals like something with the group setting does even more for me um i think what stood out what's it up without parenting i like the parenting stuff a lot the parenting stuff's tough because i think it's an asinine to tell somebody how to pair it which is why i never would do it like one-on-one but in the macro i like talking about the themes i'm in such a luxurious place where i'm getting between tik tok and instagram just on a godly amount of information from 11 to 25 and so there's some insights there that i'm trying to like and you know just you always hope when you do something like that when i when i go there i'm like if one parent hears this and it makes sense it can change a kid's life and i got a lot of that at vcon you changing the way up here changing my parents going better but it's really nice and that becomes like an ode to my mom you know like i feel like that's the way i can pay back like my mom that's the way i could put her on a pedestal one thing you know i talked about in the podcast one thing that i think is so fascinating is i wonder if i can get others to see themselves the way i do which is just like a like kind of like an empty pipe i'm just an empty pipe it's like you give me accolades my mom you on me you just don't know me it's all empty it's just like there's something about when you don't like when you don't overvalue yourself when you don't have ego and it's confidence and humility like if you think of that as a triangle i think of ego confidence and humility as a triangle and like the game is like if you can just go focus just on hey you have self-esteem like i'm a good person i'm doing the best i can doing the best i can and and humility like if it's going well being like yeah okay there's been there's eight billion people on earth i'm sure there's billions that are doing it better than me you know better looking me nicer me smarter me if you can play on that you win if you go to ego which is just insecurity it's all over you think you're so then you make pretend that you're good and you on everyone you think you're so it's lack of self-confidence so then you spend all your time on everybody else and fake pretending that you're good right posturing yeah all to protect that you're weak so we've got to figure out how to get everybody to love themselves which is why we have to change success from money because not everybody has skills to make money but we can teach everybody to have skills in being content and happy for what they have gratitude this is the green room yeah blueberries i love blueberries thank you what's good vegas very humbled thank you people walking around here thinking there's somebody because they got 230 000 followers on tick tock so humble the up will get better but a lot of you say no to because your humility's not in check i still say yes to that a lot of you pass on because i out humble you all right that was some like you know i just hope everybody knows no i just realized it's important i just really i want everybody know that's not me razzing that's me loving you i see a lot of people saying no to as if there's somebody you want to really win decide you're nobody everything gets real interesting real fast after that garyvee that's crazy wow i'm happy to pay for it but like i really want this like i really want this thank you my dude this is fire it's fire thank you so much i don't need any more feel accomplished got some good rest last night we'll get good tomorrow get back on the east coast schedule
