The GaryVee Audio Experience

A few weeks ago, I put up an Instagram post where I asked people to make a video thanking people for following them.

This podcast is a 112 minute compilation of those who saw my post and made a “thank you” video of their own.

Hope this video inspires you all to keep perspective and stay grateful today!!

7:02 - Thank you for supporting me on this journey called life

13:42 - I hope you're motivated to do something for yourself

25:32 - Shout out to everyone trying to get better

Hit me up on Twitter @GaryVee and let me know what you thought of this

There’s so much opportunity available today but what most people don’t realize is, this all goes away.

Eventually, Facebook and Instagram advertising will become like the Yellow Pages or billboards — that’s why I’m trying to get so many of you to “squeeze” while this opportunity is still available to you.

In this podcast, I talk about some tactics and strategies you can use to storytelling around your brand

0:30 - The internet is the single most underrated thing in society

1:30 - How to scale your local business through a TV show

5:30 - Should you focus on your personal brand, business brand, or both?

10:40 - Take advantage of social media while you can

Listen and let me know what you thought, tweet @GaryVee.

I am starting a new series on the podcast - From My Inbox To Your Ears - where I will be sharing stories of people who have executed on the advice that I have been sharing for free through the years.

In the first episode, I share a real-life story of being happier when you make less than what you made in a 9-5 job that you hate, only because you decide to follow your passion and start loving what you do. 

Tweet @garyvee and let me know your thoughts on this series.

It doesn’t actually matter to me whether you want to work 18 hours a day for the rest of your life, live on the beach, or watch Netflix all day.

I’m just putting pressure to get people’s actions to map to their ambitions.

Hope this episode helps a few of you figure out who you are, your strengths and weaknesses, and gives you a better sense of what you want to do.

Tweet me what you thought of this format @GaryVee

It’s very rare that someone comes to me with an idea or a project and I really think it’s going to work.

Sometimes, I’ll respond to a 27 or 28-year-old kid and tell them it’s going to “work” if they stick with it for 7 or 8 years, and they’re disappointed — because they think “34” is old.

I address it in this podcast - really hope this breaks through to a few of you.

If you hate your Monday through Friday, you’re in big trouble.

I really want to put pressure on this conversation — I see so many people today living for the weekend and cheering for Friday because it’s a “relief” from their week.

Don’t get it twisted — I love family time and I’m not saying to not spend time with people you care about, but if you’re using the weekend as an “escape” from your week, you need to figure out an alternative.

Hope this podcast helps put this in perspective for a few of you :) Let me know what you thought @GaryVee on Twitter

A lot of entrepreneurs and marketers miss the point when it comes to influencer marketing …

It’s not about who has the most followers or who’s “verified.” It’s about who has the attention of the people you’re trying to reach.

The truth is, many micro-influencers with 1,000 - 4000 followers will produce better business results for a company than a verified account with 300,000 followers because they have more “depth.” 

I talk more about this and other strategies small businesses can use to grow sales in 2019 :

1. Charge more for your time

2. Understand the impact of Micro Influencers

3. Balance listening to the market & holding your conviction 

Check it out and let me know what you thought @GaryVee on Twitter!

I really believe that 2019 is the year of LinkedIn. If you’re in B2B, it’s the single most important platform you need to be spending your time on.

This podcast is from a Q&A I did with business owners, many of whom are selling to other businesses. I talk about how the $1.80 Instagram strategy can apply to LinkedIn, how the platform has changed over the past few years, and more.

1:50 - How to apply the $1.80 strategy on LinkedIn

8:22 - Quality content is subjective to the consumer

12:17 - Creative ways to market a franchise business

Listen and tweet me what you thought @GaryVee.

Let me know what's your favorite part of this episode, by tweeting @garyvee. 

Hope you have the best Tuesday of your life! 

This podcast mashup is about something that I am most passionate about and I also think a lot about. It's a constant challenge to create a wonderful work environment without creating entitlement and keep people fired up to work for you. 

If you or someone around you is struggling with transitioning from being a practitioner to becoming a leader, please listen to this or share this with that person. 

Would love to know your thoughts on this, so tweet @garyvee and let me know your POV.

A lot of people are in jobs they don’t like because they tie themselves down with expenses that don’t actually make them happy.

It’s an issue for so many … the truth is, a lot of people would rather “look the part” and posture to their friends like they’re building a business instead of doing “unsexy” things that’ll make them money and bring them closer to leaving jobs they don’t like.

0:25 - If you work somewhere but want your own business

1:09 - Don’t buy dumb shit

2:22 - Practicality = happiness

4:40 - Why are you living your life based on other people’s opinions?

7:52 - This is the greatest time to be a human being

9:59 - Having empathy > hawking your brand

14:00 - Social media’s golden era will go away

People will realize how important this message is in a few years … watch and tweet me what you thought @GaryVee with the hashtag #GVAudioExperience

Loved this conversation with Joshua Coombes around how I think about Giving in a 2019 world, especially in the non-profit world.

I wrote Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook to explain this side of marketing, because most people that are offering to give, are really trying to take and most are not even aware of the vulnerability of their behavior.

Let me know your thoughts & your favorite moment from this podcast by tweeting @garyvee. ;) xoxo

This podcast is from a 4Ds session I gave in London — many of you have been asking me for more tactical, business-focused content and this format is a really good way for me to provide that for you all.

You’ll get to hear my thoughts on voice, why I think brand will be the only thing left, diversifying across platforms, why companies like 7-eleven are in deep trouble over the next few decades and more.

1:45 - Timing is just as important as being right
4:20 - Why convenience vs brand matters so much in a voice-first world
10:15 - If Instagram disappeared, where would you be?
13:53 - Your creative must be contextual to platforms/audience
19:13 - How the next economic crash will affect big brands vs small brands
20:20 - How to roll out new products/brands
22:20 - Subjectivity can hinder creative

What was your favorite part of this episode? I’m super curious to hear what you think ;) Tweet me @GaryVee with the hashtag #GVAudioExperience

Throwback to when Simon Sinek stopped by for the #AskGaryVee Show about 2.5 years ago. 

#QOTD: Do you feel loved and supported in your work culture? And if you do, tag your coworkers. Tweet @garyvee and let me know.

11:12 -Self-awareness: Is it more about maturity and wisdom or is something you are just born with?
17:25 - How do you help new team members buy into what you are trying to achieve?
22:43 - Should I market my new book under a different name?
27:08 - When do you know that you have the chops to 'start talking'?

I’m making a commitment to create more context on my thoughts and points of views through long-form content.

In this Perfectly Mentored podcast with Jason Portnoy, I talk more about what I believe about hustle, my ambitions of buying the Jets, how I think about doing Q&A, and more.

Coming out of Agent2021, I'm really really excited to put this mashup together- blowing out ways to get ahead as a realtor by leveraging building your personal brand - Lots of tactical tips in here that I hope you get a massive amount of value from, to help your sales and build connections <3 

A lot of people don’t know this about me, but almost nothing makes me squeamish.

In this podcast, I sit down with Mark Cersosimo and answer some fun questions about whether I’d buy the Jets today (if that meant wearing Jordans every day for the rest of my life), whether I prefer toilet paper “over” or “under”, how many pigeons I think I could carry, and more.

And I do it while eating some really weird food and drinking “cat wine.”

This interview shows a different side of me that many of you may not have seen.

Tweet me if you’d ever try Clamdy Canes after listening to this episode @GaryVee ;)

The music industry isn’t what it used to be.

Years ago, you had to impress a handful of executives and pray that they liked your music — and if they didn’t, your career would never launch.

Now, you’ve got all these artists getting popular off of Soundcloud, Spotify, YouTube, and creating content on social media.

In this podcast, I talk with Dreezy — a rapper I really believe in — about the future of hip hop, and why I’m hanging out with rap artists as a CEO.

What up-and-coming artists do you think should be on my radar? Tweet me @GaryVee with the hashtag #GVAudioExperience ;)

Eugene Remm is one of those rare people who I both genuinely like as a human being, and also has insane skills professionally.

We share a super similar background — he also came to America from the Soviet Union and built successful businesses. And he did it by leveraging something I really believe in: doing free work for people who he admired.

Lots of great insights in this episode that you guys will enjoy — especially if you’re getting started in your career.

Question of the day: What’s the one business that you believe in that could be elevated by an experience?

Tweet me your answers @GaryVee with the hashtag #GVAudioExperience ;)

(The AskGaryVee Video episode will be available on my YouTube channel - youtube.com/garyvee - on Friday Feb 22nd at 1:37pm ET)

Lots of little clips from different meetings and events in today’s podcast … You’ll hear what went down at our little influencer meet up at Made in New York Pizza (where I’m an investor).

I also met with a young kid who needed to “get his mind rewired” — I talked to him about overcoming the same pressures that so many young people face with “figuring out” their lives.

The podcast starts off with my meeting with “Freeway” Rick Ross — a former drug dealer who’s now helping at-risk youth and women’s empowerment initiatives.

All fascinating conversations — especially the part where I talk to Rick Ross about entrepreneurship.

Listen and tweet me what you thought @GaryVee ;)

The reason I win so much is that I play the game in “reverse” of everyone else.

Everyone else is doing the same thing — posting the same type of pictures on Instagram, getting the same degrees from the same colleges, or running the same type of Ads — and wondering why they’re not disproportionately winning.

I expand on this concept more in this Q&A I did with fans at the GaryVee x VaynerSports meet and greet in Atlanta.

Tons of value in this one - especially if you’re looking to level up your personal brand or career.

Listen and tweet me what you thought and if you have a favorite moment in here @GaryVee

Atlanta is the epicenter of hip hop, and I get so excited when I come across artists from that region that I really believe in. This is a meeting I had with Lil’ Keed — an Atlanta rapper who performed at our VaynerSports x One37pm party.

He’s dropping an album in March 2019 with some really smart promotion strategies. Listen, and tweet me what you thought @GaryVee!

A typical day as Chairman of VaynerX, meeting CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Brian Scudamore and discussing his early years of starting from a single truck. Instagram live with Entrepreneur University, where they walked me through 5 steps to get me to speak at an event, well almost. Lil Keed came into the office and we talked about his next album drop and what's next. Ended the day with Rabiah Sutton, Founder and CEO of FWDthink. 

Guys - really excited to put this one out. This call I took helps reimage the way that I think about home ownership, as I know there was some response to an instagram video I put out recently. I talk to someone who emailed me about my thoughts around home ownership, and how I think about real estate as a whole. 

Really really excited about this one - I give some tactical tips to folks who came through for the #pickmegaryvee contest I did - and we dive in to help out new business owners. Anyone starting out should get massive value from this <3 

Loved sitting down with this young dude, to chat about the importance of mental health -  and the effects that a positive mental state can have on entrepreneurs. We sit down and chat about what happens when things don't go our way, what I want to be remembered for, and get deep into the nitty gritty of happiness.

Hey everyone - haven't put out one of these in a while, but I got a lot of feedback on the few that I did that you guys liked the fact that you were able to watch Dailyvee while doing other things, saving you time. Hope you all like this one - it was a big internal Vaynermedia day but there were a few key meetings that I think brought a lot of value.

I think you're all going to love this one, especially with Superbowl just passed us -  I sit down with Laura Molen (NBCU) as the moderator, Anda Gansca (Knotch), and Stacy Taffet (PepsiCo) all as panelists to discuss what we think the effectiveness of superbowl ads are, diving into attention arbitrage, business tactics and more. This was a REALLY good one guys hope you enjoy <3 

really fired up about this meeting I had with the legend, Quinn XCII - we sit down and chat about his come up, his music process and why I fuck with his music - he speaks his truths through it. We go heavy on our thoughts around artists putting out music that they think others want to hear, just to pander to the changing marketplace, and touch on chips on shoulders, musical DNA and political correctness. 

This interview I did a short while back with President of SAP North America & Asia Pacific's Jen Morgan on her new podcast, A Call To Lead. One thing I really focused on heavily in this interview was the qualities I believe that every good leader should possess, especially when you're the CEO of a company - there's a lot in here for everyone, and I'd really appreciate it if you listened <3 

It'd mean a ton if you'd check out Jen's podcast, over at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-call-to-lead/id1437805769?mt=2

On this episode- I resurface my $1.80 strategy in a new way, with a winner of #pickmegaryvee. If you haven't see the original, you've gotta check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mVR5OZSgjw

This mega vlog documents my trip to Atlanta over Super Bowl weekend!

It’s my hope that these long form vlogs give you guys more context Into a real “day in the life” in my world. You’ll see me meet with fans, do Q&A, and more ;)

I sits and talks with a 49 year old YouTuber and entrepreneur to dive down into the reality of what “giving without expectations” means. We discuss the importance of defining what “winning” is to you, without letting anyone else’s leverage influence that & making sure that you’re sure in your intent with everything you do.

We got deep on this episode- sitting down with the crew behind the Cannonball Mindset podcast. We chat legacy, and what that leaving behind one really means, the Jets, fake entrepreneurs and the three things that I think I learned from my mom. There's a ton in here that I think you'll really enjoy <3 

A lot of people ask me questions that are hard to answer because I normally don’t have the time to fully understand the context on what is being asked. During my first live stream of 2019, I took the time get to the heart of some of the questions I am most frequently asked and wanted to share these answers with all of you… Hopefully you can extract a ton of value from this ;)

Really loved this interview I did a little while back -  talking really heavy into how I split my time between work and family, and what that dynamic looks like (also why I believe nobody else should be able to judge anyone's work/life choices), the importance of managing expectations of employees and developing a positive culture and whether or not I set goals for myself :)

This mashup was put together by some really really fired up fans in the community & it's one I really really love. Check them out here:

Super fired up about this talk I did at ComplexCon with Karen Civil, Chris "Drama" Pfaff, and Kareem "Biggs" Burke diving deep into what it takes to succeed in today's entrepreneurial landscape

There’s a reason why real estate gets hit the hardest during a recession: Everyone is focused on short term sales over brand. That’s why I genuinely believe I’d dominate if I decided to start a brokerage. I would take lower commissions, build brand, and win in the long term. In this Q&A, I answer a lot of questions from real estate agents at Agent2021 about how to leverage social media to sell real estate in 2019!

This mashup is one that's really important to me - focusing around self doubt, which I believe isn't something you necessarily put on yourself, but are inflicted from a young age from a multitude of different places. It starts off with a call from the Empathy Wines livestream last week & branches off from there. The clips used in this mashup are:

Watch This If You're Struggling with Self Doubt | Dailyvee 524 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0OMKzelal0&t=128s

Hope this brings you value <3

This interview from 2013 puts forward a building block in providing value to others - talking about how I was able to audit myself, utilizing others as sounding boards to further figure out what I'm good at, and how to utilize it ...

SUPER excited about this one - a fireside chat I did while down in Miami at Agent2021, VaynerExperience's event for a multitude of career tracks and positions. We talk being both a content company & agent, and answer a ton of questions about creating content for different industries. <3 

Couldn't be more excited about this original podcast interview I just did with two people I'm super close to an excited about - Greg Lyons, CMO of Pepsico and Jen Saenz, CMO of Frito Lay. We chat about their brands' Super Bowl commercials and activations and lay out on the table the changes that we're all seeing in advertising & Super Bowl itself. Really important episode for anyone that's interested in advertising & marketing here! 

For more and more companies, you don’t need a college degree to land the job you want. The way you get experience and skills is by working for free for people you admire in your industry.

After seeing how people reacted to the 7.5 hour DailyVee from my trip to Dubai, I told my team I wanted to put out more long form “mega vlogs” so you guys can get more context into my day …

So we did another one: A raw, 6.5+ hour video from my trip to Miami to give you full context on the things I talk about (empathy, worth ethic, optimism, etc) and how they play out in an actual “day in my life.”

And for the first time … we’re putting it out as a podcast for you guys ;)

Enjoy!

Fired up for this keynote I did a few months ago in Phoenix, Arizona, talking about the similarities between “traditional” marketing and the digital age. Attention has and always will be the goal and asset, the medium is the only thing changing. This was a big keynote, would love if you all listened ❤️

So so happy that I got to sit down with these absolute hustlers, to talk content production - how to re-use, re-purpose and re-fresh content - developing an incredibly autonomous relationship with my team, and how that helps me to scale myself through trust and acknowledgement, and why admitting and embracing your mistakes is massively important.

Would love if you checked out these ladies and showed them some love: 

Super super fired up about this 4D's session I recently did at Agent 2021 in Miami, talking business growth, the falloff of motivation & repurposing content

Would love if you all checked out 4ds here: https://vaynermedia.com/service/4ds/

With Agent2021 just passed, I thought this interview would be fitting- I sat down and chopped it up around all things real estate, from how you should be setting expectations, to marketing saving time - and how that can be massively effective to pitch to clients. There's a ton of tips & tricks in here <3
