The Garyvee Audio Experience

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. Tweet me what you thought @GaryVee

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. 

Had an incredible conversation with high school teachers & students from Boys Latin School from Philadelphia, PA. This is a must listen for anyone who has 10-20-year-olds around them in life.  0:35 - One sentence can change everything 3:17 - I will always be unfiltered 4:03 - How to become discovered in the music industry 7:20 - The internet gives everyone an opportunity 9:20 - How to adjust when algorithms change on social platforms 9:51 - DM people until Instagram blocks you 11:00 - If you want something, you have to work 12:10 - Everybody has either money, talent, or time 13:50 - Your adversity is your strength 14:59 - Don’t be vulnerable to a platform 16:05 - Giving turns into getting 17:00 - The fine line between delusion and optimism 22:05 - Young guys buy stuff because they’re insecure 24:05 - The future of teaching and education 25:25 - How to become a stylist 27:50 - Either you want it, or you don’t 30:18 - Dealing with rejection & adversity 34:55 - The block is your foundation 36:40 - I love

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

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

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 ;)
