What To Do If You Don't Want To Go To College

If you’re 25, you could literally die and live an entirely new life up to this point, and you’d still barely be at “halftime.” That’s why I tell so many 18, 22, 25, and 30 year olds to just put their head down and grind for a decade - if they have the ambition to build something for the rest of their lives. In this podcast with Pencils of Promise founder Adam Braun, I talk more about what to do if you don’t want to go to college, what to do after high school, and more. 1:49 - advice on what t...

Why You Need to Start Storytelling Today

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 scal...

How Having “Less” Can Make You Happier : From My Inbox To Your Ears Episode 1

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.

Should You Really Be an Entrepreneur?

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

The Real Reason Why Most People Aren’t Patient

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. Tweet me what you thought @GaryVee

Stop Living For The Weekend

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...

3 Unconventional Strategies to Grow Small Businesses In 2019

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...

$1.80 Strategy for LinkedIn

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 - Cr...

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.

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

How Practicality Leads To Happiness

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 = ha...

My Definition of Giving

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

Tasting Cat Wine and Clamdy Canes

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 m...

16 Minutes of Discussing The Future of Hip Hop: Meeting With Dreezy

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...

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 ...

Interns Become CEOs All the Time: Meeting "Freeway" Rick Ross | DailyVee 535

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 wome...

How to Win by Playing the Game in "Reverse"

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...
