It was great being on David Hill's podcast, the Path To Mastery, chopping it up about opinions on the futures of real estate and where the industry is headed, the essence of my newest book, Crushing It! and how every single industry is becoming affected by technology - how Uber and Amazon are in my opinion, just a preview of what's to come.  Check out David's podcast here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/one-more-sale-podcast-real/id1081069895

Loved chatting it up with this young up and coming artist, Sylvan LaCue.  We sat down and chopped it up hard about the importance of community, branding, and engagement with your fans. Some really good points here I think you'll all love. Check out Sylvan here: https://www.instagram.com/sylvanlacue

Hope you're all doing amazing this Monday - these three classics are a combo that I think will get you fired up for this week, and pushing through whatever you're working on. Do you like these motivational mondays? By the way, do you like that new one at the end? Hit me up and let me know

Super thankful to everyone that supported the launch of my book, Crushing It!; especially to the ones that I was able to sit down and have brunch with given their extremely generous support. This chat with the 8 winners of my B&N Crushing It brunch contest was great - 2 hours of straight fire talking about self awareness, why you should utilize college to find your homies, and some key aspects kid entrepreneurs need to pay attention to, to be successful.

Here's a little something different for this Saturday, and if you're sitting down enjoying some wine you're going to love this. Here, I'm tasting the wines from April's wine of the month club diving back into my original roots.  Check out my wine of the month club here!!: https://winelibrary.com/clubs/garyvee-s-monthly-wine-club Some of the wines I featured this month: https://winelibrary.com/wines/cabernet-sauvignon/2014-alta-oso-malo-105154 https://winelibrary.com/wines/grenache-garnacha/2015-barraco-rock-rose-red-105091  

This was a fire crew to have on podSessions this week. Aubrey Marcus, founder of Onnit, pro surfer Anastasia Ashley and Lacrosse player Rob Pannell joined me to sit down and talk culture, sports, social media, the culture around losing and a whole lot more. We dive into Aubrey's new book, the obstacles Rob faced on his way to becoming a pro lacrosse player, and Anastasia's surfing career stretching back to age 5. Hope you're all enjoying #podSessions!

Guys, this keynote is THE piece of viral content that changed my career, as the internet was becoming what it's become so far today. Every thing your do right now, your great, great, great grandchildren will be able to watch, and that's something to keep in mind constantly.  I break down personal brand equity, and the necessity of not ignoring platforms to boost your influence. This is the one guys. An all-time talk. Hope you love it

Although the audio on this episode is a little blown out, there's some really, REALLY important information here for young entrepreneurs that you should really dig into, and I show my own version of this advice for myself talking to my trainer Jordan.

Really enjoyed my meeting with Yung Bans where he told me that kids were getting suspended from school for playing his songs over the school intercom! Super hyped to see that he's already working on hacking attention and culture to set up a platform for himself to distribute his music. Check out Yung Bans on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/yungbans

It's nothing but a truth that once you start hanging out around people that are positive, confident and yearning for success that it'll affect you by association, just like if you're hanging out around people that complain all the time, you'll start falling into that hole. This mashup is about auditing your life, your circle and your relationships with people close to you to decide how adjusting those relationships can influence your life. Hope this one hits home for you

These three original shorts my team put together put forward two pillars that I talk about a lot, and love to expand on. When you're just starting out, especially when you're young, tasting a lot of things and trying different careers, foods, lifestyles, everything is key to bringing out what you're going to excel at and shape into. I don't understand how you can complain while being a human on earth. So many of you just lack perspective. You've already won. You won the universe's lottery and managed to get lucky enough to live the life that you have right now. One life, act like it. Check out the original films here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL2zLECEDlY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze9u06hb4EM    

Loved meeting with Beau, a top notch dancer, actor and all around good dude. We sat down and chopped it up heavy around content -why you should repost, and how it benefits both you and the person you're posting for, why Will Smith is winning the content game right now and a bunch more. All in all, a great meeting I know you'll enjoy

Awesome to have Jake Paul stop by my office and talk about where he's planning on taking Team 10, how he may use Twitch in the future, and what he can be doing to be tunnel visioned on growing his audience.

Hope you enjoy this throwback to an interview on CNN back in 2009. It's really fun to go back and compare my thoughts and ideas back then and see how accurate they are today, as you can tell this social media thing really panned out ;)

Waiting until you're 25 to assess your life and try to figure yourself out is never a bad strategy. In some cases, many of you may have seen my "close your eyes until you're 29" rant, which essentially has the same underlying topic as this. Trust the process, put your head down and go for it.

Great to meet up with latin music star Nicky Jam to chop it up around staying true to your roots, building deals with brands - who and why you should, and diving into his background, his move to Colombia, his past struggles and more. This was a great chat - hope you enjoy Hit up Nicky Jam on IG right here: https://www.instagram.com/nickyjampr/  

The few days that I had to jam in Australia gave me the opportunity to give some of the most powerful keynotes - 3 in two days - I've given. This keynote was focused around attention, and started off really pulling apart the reasons we focus on branding, and the importance of it. We then transition into talking about the importance of social media & smartphones in today's marketing world. Really important points in this one - hope you love it & check out voicecon here: http://voicecon.co    

  I'm making this challenge for one person in the hopes that it will help them look at things differently and seek out positivity instead of negativity...  

This is a topic I don't always talk a whole lot about, but when I do, there's a consistent theme to it. I've never had one, but that doesn't mean I don't encourage you to seek one out. Everyone has a different take on whether they can stay inside their own head or need guidance from others. Full clips here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jNqAfGzWS0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SHnEYL6GjM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtIXFz6cDGU https://youtu.be/Vn9GW1p1VCc    

Like last year's Haste & Hustle event, I was completely fired up for this talk in Toronto. I dove into my beliefs on why some young entrepreneurs are in over their head before they even start, not realizing how lonely it can be - there's nobody you else you can blame above you, no boss, no teacher, no parents... I also touch on the things you need to do if you're building a business, hint, get familiar with the marketing tools of today. Total fire here, you're going to love this one ;)   Have you checked out Voicecon yet? http://voicecon.co/  

Super cool to get the opportunity to sit down with my man Cole Bennett and talk about his music promotion business, Lyrical Lemonade. I think that a lot of you can get some value out of this conversation with respect to how Cole and his team plan on making a transition within the brand into the beverage industry...

LOVED this panel I got to speak on with my good friend Bonin Bough and Michael Loeb. We speak on business operations and growth, ideas around parenting, and why I don't let anyone else tell me how to parent my kids, and hone in on the issues with the entrepreneurship boom today - there's lots of companies, but not a lot of them are making money. LOTS of good chat here, hope you love it

I absolutely loved getting to spend time in London and meet with a ton of my fans at the Crushing It! x K-Swiss Pop Up shop. I really hope that you guys can find some value in this episode, especially in the last conversation I had when leaving the Pop Up.

Super happy that I got to surprise a fan from Twitter! Calling fans in general is always a really good way to keep your community engaged and in-tune with whatever it is that you're doing. One of the main points that I really want to hit on again from this episode was the idea of working for free to build a reputation and credibility... If you don't have a degree or the experience that other people do have, you should be working for free for 5-10 clients and crush it for them so that you can build up a strong reputation moving forward.

Straight fire in this keynote I gave in Brisbane, Australia a few months ago - I really hone in on those who are squandering getting their business really up and going with social media, and focus on the importance of really focusing on what you're good at within that realm - if you're not great on camera, maybe you're great on audio. But the Q&A section is where the real fire comes out, there's a number of questions from the audience that involve things that I don't usually touch on. Hope u enjoy ;)

If you're unhappy, there's no excuses for sitting around and complaining that the world's not fair to you, or that you had a shitty upbringing or any other "excuses" that are preventing you from doing your thing. I'm empathetic to those issues from your past, but right now is the time to drop those and leave them where they were, and focus on what's in front of you.

Loved chopping it up with Reece Parkinson on BBC Radio 1Xtra last week diving deep into my thoughts around Will Smith's newly founded presence basketball and football/soccer and why I want to dominate that industry and Snapchat's new update and redesign. Really really really great content here - I focus real heavily on my happiness and why and how I don't let others' opinions about myself affect my own happiness and well being. Watch the full ep here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOLaus7ZuFs

MASSIVE love to my friend and business mogul Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group which founded and runs many famous restaurants around New York and the country like Blue Smoke, Gramercy Tavern and Shake Shack. We take some calls from #firstinline and answer questions on hospitality, entrepreneurship, restaurant ownership and more. Total fire in this show.   Hit up Danny here: https://www.instagram.com/dhmeyer/ https://twitter.com/dhmeyer  

This keynote focused around an audience of contractors was completely on fire when it came to the Q&A section. It kicks off with a massive focus on the fact that the internet and social media aren't ruining your life, they're not ruining our world-  they're exposing who we really are. I talk about the way I identify upcoming trends & nuances in the world, not necessarily always by trial and error. Some great topics & tactics in this keynote, hope you enjoy

COMPLETE FIRE here on The Brink of Midnight Podcast. Great chatting about how my experiences being a D and F student with negative reinforcement in school shaped my entrepreneurial vision today - and why that was a huge driver in my life, and I tell a story about how overpaying for a baseball card table at age 13 was a major transformative moment in my life. There's a TON here that I think a lot haven't heard- would love if you listened And head over to John Brenkus' page here to check out more of this podcast: https://brinkofmidnight.com/

Complete fire on this episodes of the #podSessions. I had my man Gabe Anderson of VaynerBeta, Ultra athlete and author Rich Roll and Instagram hit / pro actress Arabella S Ruby on the show this week to chop it up about business, culture, social media, and a TON more. Great, great stuff on this show.  Check out all the guests here: Rich Roll: https://www.instagram.com/richroll/ Rich's Podcast: http://www.richroll.com/category/podcast/ Rich's book: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Ultra-Rejecting-Becoming-Discovering/   Arabella S Ruby: https://www.instagram.com/arabellasruby/ Gabe Anderson: https://www.instagram.com/gabe_anderson/  

Listen up -  this is a MASSIVELY important topic that I touch on often. You have time. You're young. What the fuck are you in such a rush for? I see so many young people that are either just out of high school, in college, or just out of college that are spending so much time and energy evaluating their lives and seeing where they stand in comparison to the people around them; stop judging yourselves! Close your eyes until you're 29 and stop dwelling on the past. Be patient and be self-aware, but don't stress if you haven't "made it" while you're still in your 20s... You have so much time. Hit me up on Twitter and let me know your thoughts.  @Garyvee

As many of you probably saw, there was a huge shift and growth in Twitch's culture this week, and my predictions and thoughts are coming true that I've been saying for years ;) 

The internet changed everything... There are no more middlemen and you don't have to get the permission from some old white dude to do whatever it is that you need to do. Instead of coming up with dumb excuses as to why you can't.. look at all the reasons why you can. Hope u all enjoy this fireside chat I did at Baron Davis' Allstar weekend in LA.

This was a firey episode of #AskGaryVee with TV star, entrepreneur and all around badass Bethenny Frankel - Besides diving down into Bethenny's history and coming up story, we chat building the fastest growing alcohol brand, salad dressings, polo players and a TON more. Lots and lots and lots of laughs here :) Hit up Bethenny and say hi: https://www.instagram.com/bethennyfrankel/

Loved loved loved being a guest on Dave Meltzer's podcast, The Playbook. We get straight into it, talking about my "inner workings" and more than just what I put out. I go into what I mean when I talk about how I have no expectations from others, so nobody can every let me down, and really expand on why I care more about my legacy than what I'm thought of this second - comparing to Christopher Columbus. This was an all-time interview, that I'd love if you took a listen to   Watch the whole interview right here on Dave's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elwyCC_hb64 Listen to more episodes of The Playbook here: https://www.entrepreneur.com/listen/playbook  Learn more about Dave Meltzer here: http://www.davemeltzer.com/

Totally fired up about being a guest on Tom's show at Agent2021 recent - we chopped it up talking about much more than just real estate, diving into what it's like touching on big, big brands that are pushing to stay relevant in today's social world - and how those brands are doing it. Another big topic we touch on is figuring out what kind of content creation and distribution you're good at - you may hate being on video but be an excellent podcaster, which is why you should be going all - in on your strengths. Some really, really good stuff here that I think you'd love Check out the full video on Tom's channel right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1iMfzuE6ZI

Straight fire out of this interview from my friends over at BiggerPockets, talking about emotion in losing and how that's changed for me over the years (and how it fires me up to push harder), why I recommend buying filters & frames geotargeted towards college campuses for hiring interns & employees and finding deals through social media. Great great interview here - hope u enjoy !! Check out the full show here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show264

This is an important topic that I don't think many people realize when they're unhappy at a job, especially right as you're stepped into a new role. If you're unhappy, don't just stay because of how you think it looks on paper. There's no sense in pushing through misery just to get another line in your resume - do what makes you happy. 

If you don't love what you're doing, change it. It's not all about the money & fame - but if you're spending every single day unhappy because you hate your job, then you need to start turning that around. Check out the full clips from this mashup here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZAVroBYLIc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gI-BU_7KfHc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytw4Smz5k7c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo3TmwD9JU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j0sbRCbWJI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyreE99h608  

I gave this advice to one great kid on growing his personal brand and social media influence .. I just wanted most of you to hear it too...

This interview originally appeared on Cheddar's "The Point" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey5nhBUNgko&amp=   I think you're all going to find the format of this interview that I did at Cheddar extremely interesting. Arianna Huffington and I chat with Cheddar founder Jon Steinberg on topics like work life balance, burnout, disconnecting from social media & technology and dive into how I was able to be held accountable for my fitness. Really interesting points of view here- hope u enjoy !!

Complete fire coming out of this keynote at Tampa Startup Week. I dive deep into the upcoming trend of entrepreneurship, and how my ambition with my message isn't necessarily to encourage every single person to go out there and start a business, but to go out there and do what you want to do. If you want to be a number 13 at a company you admire, it doesn't mean you need to build a company and be it's number 1 first, but if that's your ambition then that's great. Some serious Q&A in this one too - make sure you check it out.

Loved chopping it up with my man Premium Pete, about growing up in New York City, the massive change in parenting and how where you grow up influences who you are. We dive deep into how and why I wanted to be cool with so many people throughout school by kindness, driven by the desire to sell and also chat about balancing work & private live. This was an all-time interview, and I'd love if you'd check it out. Hit up Premium Pete here:  Check out his podcast here: https://soundcloud.com/thepremiumpeteshow Hit him up on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premiumpete/  

Fiiiiiiire podcast incoming - chopping it up with these guys brought out some really important points that need to be brought out. The standards of school, parenting, success and business are changing and if you want to succeed, you've gotta get on board to realize what's going on. As everyone wants to become an entrepreneur, it's important to realize that not everybody's fit to be one - maybe you'd be great as a number 13, instead of a number 1 or 2. SO so so many good topics here- you've gotta check it out   Check out their podcast right here: https://soundcloud.com/breakingintostartups  

This is EXACTLY how you can make money for free! This video will literally change your life. The only thing that stops people from winning is education and the work ethic. I will no longer pander to the "I don't have money" excuse that so many of you use. It's over. Here's why!

This compilation comes from the heart - many of your know my thoughts on the younger generation, and that my beliefs lie with the idea that technology isn't ruining our kids, it's enabling them to become who they are. This advice is aimed heavily at the millennials, the future business leaders of tomorrow, and I hope it can inspire a few of you to get fired up this Saturday.    Full clips: What Advice Would I Give 21 Year Old Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTna5XXsbfo Being Patient and Grinding In Your Early 20's:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SoGSBMUQ0I Advice to 16 Year Old Entrepreneurs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxTXCpxn6DE What to Do After College: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBXZlYdiizk&t=1s Why I Love Millennials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV1-V7Rv6KI

Super happy that I got to sit down with Ralo and have a quick meeting on coming up in the rap game and creating opportunity for yourself. Was great expanding with him on why I put out my best content for free, at such a large scale - because I know that 90 percent of you aren't going to do anything about it.  ;)
