The GaryVee Audio Experience

Today's episode is an interview I did with Mick Hunt on his podcast Mick Unplugged. I dive deep into what truly drives success as a leader and entrepreneur. We talk about why intent matters more than tactics, how the shift from social media to interest media is changing everything, and why accountability and gratitude are real superpowers. Whether you’re building a company, a personal brand, or just trying to grow, this conversation will give you the mindset shift you need to play the long game.

A common mistake people make when building their online brand is that they think way too transactionally and sales-focused around their content. In this 4Ds business consulting session, I break down how to think about creating content with the hopes of it leading to sales, without the content being "right hooks" and sales pitches to everyone watching. It's important to build trust with the audience, earn credibility and ultimately bring value which will make people WANT to do business with you. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode of Tea with GaryVee ep.89, I dive into some important real-life and business questions — from how to handle a business partner who says they’re a parent first, to giving advice for someone battling trauma without access to therapy.

Forget the excuses; this is a practical game plan for execution. Hope you enjoy!

On this episode of Tea with GaryVee, We covered bunch of topics, from my big thesis on why fictional character cards are the next frontier in collecting to why you need to stop letting fear drain your energy and start being your own biggest fan.

I also get real about when it's time to finally pull the plug on an idea you've been working on for a decade. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, insecure, or confused about their next move.

35:15 My direct answer to a listener who's been failing at something for 10 years: It's time to pull the plug.

38:00 A major lesson for artists and creators: Awareness is REQUIRED to create scarcity and value.

The biggest mistake so many of you are making is trying to sell to the unsellable. It's crippling your business. I did this session with a bunch of entrepreneurs, and that's what we really got into.

Here's some of the stuff we covered:

- I explained why you need to stop being so emotional about sales and just go fast to find people who are actually aligned.

- We talked about the "High School Party" concept—how starting a local podcast makes you the host, giving you all the leverage for new business without you even having to ask for it.

- I went deep on LinkedIn.

- I gave a real, tactical idea for turning your five best customers into a dinner party that you film to create a year's worth of content.
