The Garyvee Audio Experience

Really really happy to have baby Ariel back on the show - a lot of you may remember her from episode 198 with both Ariel & Ariana Renee. Loved having her back on the show to talk about what she's currently doing, and how her career has grown. Then we talk to a few callers, asking about whether or not Snapchat is a detriment for their kids & why it's SUPER important not to care about followers & likes and how a super dad should talk to his up and coming musica.ly star about it. Hit up Ariel here: https://www.instagram.com/babyariel/ and grab her new book!: https://www.amazon.com/Dreaming-Out-Loud-Baby-Ariel/dp/1982552212

This was a segment from the "Daily Digital Deep Dive" (4Ds), one day business consultation for small businesses and personal brands that took place on October 12th. If you want to take part in the next 4Ds, you can get tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/vaynermedia-1119460753

To have a winner’s mentality, you have to stop caring what other people think. You’ve gotta get quiet in your own head. So many people make big life decisions based on other people’s opinions. You care so much about what your mom, dad, brother, or friends think that you’re allowing them to dictate your actions in life. At the core of it, the barriers so many people have aren’t really about “money” or “time.” They’re about opinions. It’s the biggest reason so many people are unhappy right now. Because they value someone else’s opinion more than their own. Once you get past that, life can get real good.  Here’s how you can get quiet in your own head:

It's not all private jets & fancy parties & stacks of dollars - being an entrepreneur is hard, it's lonely and it takes time, hard work, energy and sacrifice - and there's a lot of things that you don't hear. Entrepreneurship is cool right now, a bubble and I really hope that in 10 years everyone who thought they could build the business they wanted is gonna end up in the dust.

Really really fired up with how this keynote went for COTY, talking to their employees, focusing heavily into why company culture is so important to building a successful company, making employees feel safe and promoting productivity.

This was an all-time episode, where I sat down with my good friend Scooter Braun -  known for a number of top tier performers & musicians like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Psy and a ton more. Loved having him come in to talk about his views on the music and entertainment industry & how he started his company, SB Projects, representing massive talent - we take calls from viewers asking questions about getting signed, and give away an internship to Scooter's company ;) Serious serious fire here, would be massively grateful if you'd listen

this is a HUGE one... really loved chopping it up and eating some wings with Sean & the Hot Ones team, seeing how far I really can go eating hot wings & talking. I break down my insights on why I'm interested in the up coming hip hop artists that I am, the best cereals, talking growth of the show & talking about why the advertising industry is still behind. 

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make are they think they're pigeon holed into sticking to the one thing they've been doing - but a bit part of figuring out what your thing is, is tasting more than one thing and changing up what you're doing, if you're not happy with it. 

Super super fired up for this #AskGaryVee in front of a LIVE audience, with my good friends Shonduras & Sean Holladay. We get deep in this episode, sourcing questions from an audience that bartered their way into meeting me this night ... and diving into Shaun & Sean's backgrounds, focusing on their come up on social media & in their businesses.   Check out Shonduras here: www.instagram.com/shonduras and Sean Holladay here: www.instagram.com/seanholladay and barter a chance to be at a similar event here: http://garyvee.com/barter

Fired up for this keynote I did in Orlando, Florida - a massive theme here is that it doesn't matter if what you're putting out is the highest quality possible, or rather that it shouldn't be stopping you from putting out content -  the attention right now is so underpriced that even mediocre content has a good chance at performing exceptionally. 

Fired up for these super-tactical business meetings, chatting with an apparel company looking for advice on growing & marketing their brand, a fan who bartered his way into a meeting with me that's looking for advice on how to scale his bartering business in Canada & expanding on how Pinterest & Facebook are still so valuable for retail brands.

The cannabis industry has massive potential because, as I see it, it's primarily build up of young people and entrepreneurs. Frankly, I'd go as far to as that the cannabis industry is going to make a huge impact in the marketing field because of the upfront restrictions they will face regarding being unable to use Facebook and Instagram ads.

FIRED UP for this MASSIVE mashup, almost 2 straight hours of total fire detailing a ton of the pillars of my main content & more, with @Teamgaryvee breaking up the voiceovers.

Super super excited for this one because I think it gives a lot of context into both the ways I think about starting at a new company, and growing within one in general -  I talk to a bunch of employees at Vaynermedia, talking about everything from leaving to travel for a year, to meeting new people, to struggling with expectations at a new job - there's so much value in here I know you'll really get something out of.

Really excited to have Mark & Jeff, creators of IKONICK, a DTC art brand that Scooter Braun and I recently partnered with. We talk about how they started Ikonick, and take a few calls that were absolute fire. Debating with a nursing on whether or not they should pursue the passion that they're aiming for in the medical field, and why blaming the customer never works. Hit up the guests here: Mark: http://www.instagram.com/markbrazil Jeff: http://www.instagram.com/cole Ikonick: http://www.instagram.com/ikonick    

FIRED UP for this keynote I did in the DC area, really honing in on why the internet is such a game changer for modern businesses & entrepreneurship - expanding into what it's like being an entrepreneur during the time that entrepreneurship got cool (now) and how and why it's changed so much over the last 40 years. I also talk directly to the people that think they can't make $100,000 a year, and why I really believe it's so easy now to accomplish this goal. 

The successful mindset of an entrepreneur comes down to not complaining or dwelling. I'm hearing so many people speak about their massive ambitions but simultaneously talk about how they don't work on the weekends or that they go home everyday at 6:00 PM, and then they have the audacity to complain that the results aren't coming fast enough. You NEED to be patient and understand that the only reason you want the results to come quickly is because you're trying to cover an insecurity and prove it to someone... Please, stay in your own head and put in the work. You can't sit down on the couch, think about a million dollars, and then expect to find a million dollars in your bank account. It just doesn't work like that... you have to put in the work.

I really wanted to share this talk about trusting employees, giving them trust and then learning how they operate from there rather than the traditional "trust is earned" stance. Also, for anyone that is confused, because I'm a very alpha character and I believe that the new "man" is growing in emotional intelligence and "soft skills". Kindness, empathy, and gratitude, which were once considered "soft" are now becoming cool.

This is a really fire mashup revolving around balancing your life & sleep that a lot of you need to hear ... hustling doesn't necessarily mean that you're working 22 hours a day without sleeping - I think sleep is one of the most important things - it matters what you're doing doing those 16 hours that you're awake. I also talk about how I think about "work/life" balance and my methods for keeping what I see as balance.

Fired up to have my long time friend & killer entrepreneur Scott Belsky on the show -  Scott is one of the founders of Behance, and has been involved in a number of other creative endeavors, working with Adobe, Sweetgreen, and other companies. We take a few questions from my First In Line Facebook group & a few calls from the audience, answering questions about starting content production & more.
