In this episode, I speak to an audience of entrepreneurs about how technology is resetting the business landscape, from the rise of AI to the explosion of experiential events and alternative sports. I dive deep into the changing competitive landscape, where the convergence of social, blockchain, and AI is creating new battlegrounds for attention. I stress that building a personal or company brand is the single most important long-term strategy, and I share my belief that the individual person is about to build a billion-dollar corporation. I also answer questions about the future of live shopping, my hiring philosophy, and why I waited years to raise capital for VaynerMedia.

 

You'll learn about:

  • The Convergence of AI, Blockchain, and Social Media
  • Why Attention is the #1 Currency
  • The Explosive Opportunity in Experiential Events and Alternative Sports
  • Why the Boom in Collectibles "Hasn't Even Begun"
  • My Hiring Strategy: Focusing on Self-Confidence over Insecurity
  • How to Navigate Capital Issues and the Power of Patience
  • Why the Blockchain is a Vital "Ledger of Proof"
