The Garyvee Audio Experience

My man, professional bodybuilder and Arnold Classic winner Kai Greene co-hosted this episode with me. We sat down and chatted the importance of time management in a daily routine, making sure your priorities are in place, getting the motivation to get up and put in the work that puts you in the place you want to be (whether that’s getting to the gym in the morning or putting the work in on your brand). Not every day is going to be your best, but the only way to grow is by continuously putting the work in. LOVED answering call-in questions about what kind of clients you should be aiming for at any point in your career and how to ramp up and gain momentum. Don’t miss this one guys….It’s a BEAST. ENJOY :)

This one’s not just for every single young entrepreneur, or anyone that aspires to work at a place like VaynerMedia - it’s simply for everyone. The questions asked were incredible and stemmed from a group of young interns at VM. In this one we discuss what the most important year of my life was (it’s not what you think), the best way to work with and around your mentors and the people you look up to, taking a brick and mortar business and turning it into an online ecommerce brand, and exactly what I would have done differently if I could go back to college. Take this info to heart my friends - it's a really important talk and it would mean the world if you listened in. ENJOY !! ;)

Want to push towards success? Then take this one to heart. Everyone makes mistakes, but what you do with those mistakes is what makes you. Stop dwelling on them and use them as an example of what not to do again. Not one leader will tell you they’ve had everything go perfectly and exactly as planned. Take the shit that comes along with the riches and make your mistakes. Love this one guys, enjoy it :)

How your employees feel doesn’t depend on the free granola, or fancy amenities. Here’s what I really think about all those goodies. It narrows down to feeling safe and letting them know they have room to grow. It’s true, it really is. If your company has issues, installing a water fountain with a thousand flavors, or a beer tap isn’t going to cover it up and make everything all better. It comes down to the people and how they feel. Enjoy this one and think about what your company instills.

Young entrepreneurs listen up! This one’s for you. If you’re gonna go start a business, there’s some tips in this you’re going to want to hear. Whether you’re B2B or B2C,  building up a brand from the beginning is a delicate process, but there’s a few key insights here to make it easier. In this keynote, I talk about how culture is key to building a trusted brand, whether you should be advertising on Facebook or LinkedIN, and where I see Alexa & smart devices going. Stop rethinking your decisions & judging your moves, start betting on other people. This one’s total fire - can’t wait for you to hear it!! :)

Guys this week was on point. Between hanging with NBA star Mason Plumlee and my keynote to some young entrepreneurs in Chattanooga this content is on fire. One more thing - if you’re graduating this month, make sure to check out my thoughts on what you should really be doing after college - I can't say how important it is you utilize this info. ENJOY this and see you next week ;)

Here’s an interview with my man Aubrey Marcus, CEO of ONNIT, on his podcast. He’s a mastermind entrepreneur and fitness expert who built at $28 Million fitness brand in 5 years. I loved getting down into what makes a true entrepreneur - Staying true to your own DNA, not counting on other people to get you to that next level, and learning checking your feelings at the door, because nobody cares about you as much as you. Going to six birthday parties every week isn’t what’s going to push you ahead, so think hard about those negative patterns you’ve been set in. Make sure you tune into Aubrey’s podcast because this man knows what he’s talking about. You’re going to love it! ;)

Small business owners, this one is for YOU. The questions here stem from the BioGuard conference I spoke at a few months back and boy were they fire. If you're a small business and you're looking to grow locally then it's a no-brainer that you need to harness the huge amount of tools sitting in front of you. In this one we cover questions relating to where to get started with social media (hint, Facebook Ads and down and dirty customer data) and why you NEED to learn to build social strategies into your existing markets. Provide value and keep attention by adding to a conversation - not just jumping straight into “WE SELL THAT!” mode.  Would love to know what you guys think about this one !!

COLLEGE GRADS LISTEN UP! You’re about to enter the part of your life where you make the most opportunity for yourself. Now’s the time to get out there. Now’s the time to be willing to work for nothing and get yourself to where you need to be. Stop craving the short term gains and think about where you want to be when this window is gone. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know exactly what you want to do - it only matters that this is the 5 year window for you to attack the life that you want to win. Class is easy. Life is not. Don’t forget this one!! DM me and let’s chat.

This is what it’s all about. Whether you’re growing a brand or starting a new company, there’s only one thing in your absolute control: WORK. Practice it. Preach it. Do whatever you gotta do because it’s the single most important thing in moving forward. Sleep has nothing to do with it. Sleep as much as you can as long as you're maximizing the hours that you're awake. There’s no success without sucking it up, putting in the time and pushing yourself harder to get where you want to be. Get hyped, and get ready to make it happen !! You're in full control.

I am beyond PUMPED to bring you this one. The 4D’s is happening and this first session got me going. For those that don't know, it's a intimate day-long workshop/conference that VaynerMedia is offering throughout the year. The questions asked in this session were perfect and covered a variety of topics featured in our session. Anything from 'How to build a personal brand while balancing business,' family and your personal life, conquering the B2B space, and what to do if you’re feeling stuck and struggling. The guys in this session were incredible. Loved this one and I can’t wait for you guys to hear it! If you want to hop into a 4D session, hit us up at 4ds@vaynermedia.com!!

This week was one for the books. Between the NFL draft, John Legend and NBA star Mason Plumlee stopping by #AGV to chat about life and branding in the NBA, it just kept coming. Stay patient and confident my friends. Hope you all enjoy this week's recap. See you next week ;)

NBA star Mason Plumlee co-hosts this episode of #AGV with me and boy was it FIRE. Moving through 3 teams in 4 years, Mason touches on what diving into social media as a pro athlete is like and defends the common misconceptions of the big leagues. Such a solid dude which made for one of the all-time episodes. ENJOY ;)

Stop living in the SHORT TERM and think of what’s on the table further out. I can’t say this enough. If you want to be successful, it doesn’t matter what happens TOMORROW or NEXT WEEK. Think about what you need to happen to get you to where you want to be in 20 years and build towards that. -- ENJOY!!

This talk at USC is not only one of my most popular talks but it's one of my FAVORITES and it gets me SO HYPED. This one was interesting because I was speaking to an entrepreneurship class and I just don't think you can learn to be an entrepreneur which makes for an interesting dynamic ;) To be successful you need to be adapting but stay loyal to your strengths.  If you’re a true entrepreneur you understand the importance of taking your idea and running with it — there's no time to waste. You never know what tomorrow will bring and timing is massively important. These lessons don’t stop, no matter what stage of your career you're in.  Macro-patience vs. Micro-speed is everything. Don't dwell on your mistakes and just keep moving forward. Give this one a listen because you do not want to miss it.

This year’s SXSW was a HUGE one for me .. can’t believe it’s been 10 years already. Loved talking about the value of attention & why you NEED to stop listening to the negative people around you. The pressure is on for young entrepreneurs, but I truly believe this is the best time to be alive and going after whatever it is you want to. You never know what you’re going to get at a talk like this but because it was in Q&A format, you know I brought some FIRE. Make sure to tune in!

On this episode of #AskGaryVee, the LEGEND and Grammy Award winner John Legend stops by to talk “all of him”. We take calls about how the music industry is changing to a self-publishing world, diversifying into young markets, staying humble as an industry leader and defining expectations of others. SO much fun hanging out and having John on the show. Such an incredible guy. Hope you guys enjoy !!

Here's an interview with my homie Andy Frisella from about a year or so back. This guy brings some serious energy and we had a great chat alongside some of his boys from the way. He's the absolute model for what it means to 'Crush It' as he went out and built a massive business off the back of grit, patience, passion, and some smart branding. This one isn't for the faint of heart. Time to tune in and get fired up !!   

Another GREAT week in the books. From VaynerSports signing all-star wide receiver Braxton Miller, to a rant of mine that went viral, to #AGV with my main man and MissionU founder Adam Braun, to another week in the life of the CEO of VaynerMedia, we put some serious work in. Hope you guys enjoy this version of this week's highlights !!    

The other day while out in Austin I just got triggered. Something came over me and I needed to address it. I just can’t fathom the idea that people are listening to the negative that others are throwing their way. GUYS - we only have one shot at this. Why are we letting the poison that lives in others affect our lives? QUIT ALLOWING OTHER PEOPLE TO HINDER THE WAY YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE!!
