Today we're looking at Gary Vee - analysing how he runs his business, makes his money and separates himself from all the 'fake gurus' out there. But is he as legit as he likes to try and make out...?

Copy to stroke the YT algo under its chinny chin chin like a little kitten:
Gary Vaynerchuk has always been one of those entrepreneur guru type figures on social media, constantly pumping out endless content on TikTok, Instagram, UA-cam and Facebook to the younger generations with motivational content for young business wannabes needing inspiration. He's also used the fact that he was an early investor in Facebook and Twitter to market himself as some sort of genius of the digital age. He has also made a couple of accurate predictions, such as Joe Rogan moving to Spotify. But his predictions aren't always correct.
But he's managed to skirt the same reputation as the likes of Tai Lopez and his ilk of 'contrepreneurs' by not directly and aggressively pushing an expensive course or event. He seems to be very concerned about separating himself from these people, and he makes his money in many other subtle ways, which I discuss in this video. This includes angel investing, in which he can get himself generous equity deals from startups just by simply being Gary Vee.
He also likely gets a huge chunk, if not most of his income through keynote speeches. He will get paid allegedly up to around $200,000 for a 1 hour keynote. However he doesn't seem to have much of a moral compass around who he makes keynote speeches for. For instance, he has accepted money to make keynote speeches at MLM events and at Success Resources events, at which he gets paid to be the bait to lure people to sit infront of 8 hours of speeches from get rich quick gurus, so his fans who have come to see him get suckered into paying grifters up to $10,000 to become a 'millionaire'.
Gary also runs Vaynermedia, which is a marketing agency that targets millennials and Gen Z. Billionaires will invest in this company to ensure it stays afloat because they believe Gary Vaynerchuk is the marketing gateway to the youth because he has positioned himself as this on social media. Gary seems to be underpaying his young workers at Vaynermedia however, and there are plently of accusations of a poor workplace environment there, unpaid overtime and a toxic hustle culture.
Gary's message also includes advocating for toxic, over the top work ethic and constantly insinuates that hustling hard is the only thing that matters for getting rich. He also reckons being born poor or in an ethnic minority or being an immigrant or being African American is actually a privilege, because it makes you 'tougher', and that capitalism will rise you up if you're tough enough and just work hard enough.

"As a child I cut my neighbors flowers and sold them back to them for a profit"
Thats literally an archetypal evil businessman backstory...
A kid does that to my garden and I would first complain to his parents after telling the child to stop being an asshole, then if he does it again get the police involved for destruction of property since if he didn't have a 3 million dollar trust fund he would definite be a gang member in a few years.

This is an epic comment 😂
Lmaoooo
HAHA! NICE
Damn I didn't know I was gary vee. Good to know I'm rich now though.
😂😂😂
Ever notice that guys like Gary never seem *happy* with anything they have? Every word out of his mouth has the kind of stress behind it like someone pleading for their life with a gun to their head and/or just coked out of his mind. He cuts out vacations, friends, and meaningful relationships in his life in the pursuit of money and status that ALSO doesn't make him fulfilled. Great deal buddy!
You’ve got a good point there
He has his unreachable goal of buying that football team
Never gonna happen tho obv
Bootlickers when you criticize Capitalism: But it gave us iPhones and prosperity so we don't have to slave away like peasants!
Bootlickers when you enjoy prosperity: Why aren't you slaving away, peasants!
Indeed, this sort of thing leads to just one thing: Burnout.
Also his idea that everyone working harder will create prosperity is false. The hardest workers in the world are the Mexicans yet Mexico is far from prosperous. It doesn't matter how hard you work if the majority of it disappears in corrupt pockets or is squandered by incompetent bosses.
@@MrMarinus18 If hard work truly lead to prosperity and wealth, single parents working multiple jobs to support their kids, teachers, retail workers/food service staff, etc, would be some of the richest people in America. The system we have is designed to keep those people poor unfortunately.
“He was born at the humble age of 0” has to be the best joke I’ve ever come across. Thank you for blessing us with that gem
Reminds me of the " when i was a child... i was a kid. What about you? What were you?"
"Forgive me, I was born at a very young age"
"Being marginalised is a privilege" is the most privileged take I've heard
Right. It's like climbing a mountain. A white person has all the climbing equipment they need to reach the summit but the black person does not. It's obviously an advantage to not have that gear intended to climb mountain when climbing a mountain. If anything, gear and clothing only hold you back........
Gotta keep the underclasses on copium!
@@alexs1640 wtf are you talking about?!
@@lkcdarzadix6216 it's called sarcasm 🙄
you have to acknowledge the immigrant to america said that... not the slothful American.
I love how all of these "I pulled myself up by my bootstraps" people always have millionaire parents with a bunch of connections.
Not to mention that pulling one's self up by one's bootstraps means that it is impossible to get rich through mere hard work.
Shoot, if someone got a PHD in math or electrical engineering, I don't care how big of a head start they had, that's still pretty impressive.
@@theboombody yeah but none of these internet hustle culture assholes have done that ever.
They usually luck up on an opportunity that most people dont get.
Well if that was the case, someone had to be the first in their family tree to become rich. Some people do get rich that way but a lot of successful people used to be homeless or nearly broke which meant they had to make a drastic change in their life to become financially stable. Look at Tony Robbins as an example of a guy who had barely any money in his family household. Search for his story. It will definitely change your perspective. 🙂
@@evanmorgan327 Yeah, I mean, there's people who won the lottery as well. Actually poor people becoming rich is extremely rare and requires a whole lot of luck. Otherwise there'd be more of them.
"survivor bias" is a real thing... for every Gary there's 1000 people who did exactly the same stuff and lost all their money. But we're only "aware" of him cause he got lucky.
"Grind" is a thing, but it's still less than .1% of the whole thing. If you're wasting your time "grinding" and you're not already wealthy then you have no chance of making it.
Agreed. The lockdown for example....It was only AFTER the market went nuts that most of us realized we missed the boat on several lucrative investments.
Gary is definitely the guy that will steal your cocaine then help you look for it all while talking about why you need better security.
How is this so real
Then he'll try to sell you on his blockchain based "revolutionary" security system.
That's actually how hackers get jobs with the government lol
And then sells you a safe, he knows the code for?
he wont just steal the cocaine he'll sell half back to you for a mark up price
The way these rich capitalists romanticize poverty will never cease to amaze me
Reminds me of the growth of romanticism about nature following our control of nature during the industrial revolution. Things can be romanticized after they've been left behind.
I mean, it’s possibly the best propaganda of all time. Convince poor people that being poor is a privilege and that gives them a leg up over capitalists. Dumb? Yes. Very effective in America? Also yes…
@@musicdev Yep. Feeds right into the myths we like to tell ourselves about our country.
It's literally to hide the fact that if capitalism had its way we would all be slaves working for lord bezos himself creating products for managers to buy. It's genuinely sad how much people are attached to capitalism and romanticise it. Like oh you were born into a poor family well you can just work hard and become rich boom solved.
I know, like it's a Disney film of the joy of ,working out what meal I cab afford next
Gary complained about "never making more than 150k a year" when running his daddy's wine business. That shows you how disconnected that guy is from regular people.
Did he graduate college? Just out of curiosity.
Because most people graduate and their daddy definitely doesn't have a job lined up for them...
You think that someone that took a business to a value of $70 million should be lucky he's making $150K/year ?
I would hire you then. Please get going on making my business worth $70 million.
@@pleasethink4789that’s how people get killed.
@kevincoates1597 Sorry, I'm not following what you're saying. Could you kindly elaborate?
Give me any 150k business with strong foundations like the wine business was and I will manage it just fine it's much easier than my current job thank you.
"Something really bad happened to you when you were a kid because the neighbor was a weird dude? The market doesn't care."
...I'm getting more and more concerned for him the longer I watch this video.
Now I'm curious to see the relationship between hustle culture and childhood trauma.
Is he wrong? I mean... It's important FOR YOU to deal with childhood trauma. What's being said here is that allowing that trauma to manifest in your business dealings instead of dealing with your past personally, will be detrimental to running a business.
My customers don't care about my struggles, they just want to feel like they bought something good. Some people need a better understanding of this, if their goal is to run a successful company.
I've had several employers in my life with severe personality issues and emotional maturity, perhaps caused by childhood trauma themselves, but it harmed their business relationships and the quality of life of their employees.
@@whatsupinspace854 It is not about whether he is right or wrong but rather how he contradicts himself by telling people to take care of it when he obviously failed to do so himself. You do not make peace with your exploitative parents by fetishizing work.
@@whatsupinspace854This is the kind of idiocy that only someone who has never actually experienced that kind of trauma would ever have the audacity to spout. “What you were a victim of child rape? Fuckin get over it bro like just stop having PTSD!”
Which is par for the course when it comes to Vaynerdumbfuck. He only has the audacity to give the “””advice””” he gives because he never had to actually do any of those things himself but deludes himself into thinking he did. Talking about trust fund kids as if he isn’t one and acting like his wealth is a result of “””hard work””” and not simply being an adult when the internet truly started to become universal and ubiquitous in the late 2000s/early-2010s and having enough of his daddy’s money to invest heavily in all the websites and apps and companies that were popping at the time, knowing that any losses taken on the failures would be offset by the returns on the successes because they would become literal titans of the internet and near monopolys within a decade and earn him millions and millions. And knowing that he could then parlay those successful investments into this tech guru persona that he could use to milk idiot boomers and desperate zoomers for the rest of his life.
Literally being in the perfect place at the perfect time with more than enough of his daddy’s money to play with. Meanwhile people who weren’t able to get a $150k/year do-nothing job handed to them by their dads at 18 weren’t quite so lucky…but it must be that they just didn’t work hard enough like Vaynerdumbfuck who interestingly never elaborated on exactly what all that “work” he claims to do entails. Cuz it sure as shit isn’t physical labor.
@@whatsupinspace854 Honestly, if this is your philosophy, why do you even both living? What good do you bring to the world? You're obviously fucked in the head and deeply traumatized, but you just stuff it down and avoid it. So why bother keeping going if you're never going to do what you need to actually be successful?
The youth pastor vibe is so real. I hadn’t noticed it, but now I can’t unsee it. I hate how this kind of thing has taken over the brain of some of my friends
Have you considered that maybe they’re getting something out of it?
Someone should tell Gary that destroying your relationships and your health isn't a flex.
It’s a dangerous thing
It is if you're a narcissist.
@@Mentalpulse I guess you're one those routine shit-eaters.
It is for the people paying Gary to tell you to do it
@@delly2088 who are they
I despise the “work every second” mindset that seems to be celebrated in America. Life is for living. For the vast majority of people pushing their work/life balance will lead them nowhere good, just depression, burnout, and damaged relationships.
Lack of social safety net, social programs and upward mobility in America means many have no other choice than to work their lives away. It's not just a "mindset", it's an imperative to survive.
@@quinndawsonosgood5261 Either way, it should not exist. This is the 21st century, people living in the richest country on Earth should not need to do that; nobody should
Also, when companies replace more workers with automated systems and jobs get harder and harder to find, the system where those who can't work are just doomed will come back to bite us. Sooner or later we'll have to find ways to either allow people who can't afford to pay for a really good education to get educated, or find a way for people who can't perform more difficult jobs to survive.
But what If you genuinely enjoy the “hustle”
@@sundae5284 Then nobody's stopping you, but it shouldn't be necessary
Man, that part where Gary is talking about how poverty is better than being a trust fund baby... so accurate. I mean, the suffering associated with having people snicker at how your Ferrari wasn't properly earned - that sounds just awful. I thought poverty type problems like sacrificing life saving medical care to avoid being evicted sounded bad. But other rich people mocking you for being the wrong kind of rich? Torture!
Regarding the sperm odds situation, I don't know why it's always "I was one of my dad's trillions of sperm" and not "I was one of my mom's finite egg cells" when by volume you started as much more egg than sperm. It's like a robot saying "damn I am the electricity used to charge my battery. And Only That"
Yes. I was thinking of that the whole time
Patriarchy runs deep.
Yep and considering 35% of fathers do not remain when the child is born as opposed to 100% of mothers who stay.
It also assumes that once you have your DNA determined, nothing else matters to make you who you are.
I just assume its bc there is so much sperm. Like theres a lot more specific potential kids in the form of sperm than the eggs
Rich people who long to be poor to have a “better story”are people who have no fundamental understanding of poverty. When Gary says I would rather come from nothing he doesn’t really understand what that means. He just seems to like it because of the narrative it would give him. Just gross and infuriating. Great video!
I'm actually enraged at the idea that he talks to trust fund babies that are depressed cause their success will always be attributed to someone else. Imagine THAT being the reason you're depressed and rather have nothing because of it...
Oh, I'm sorry, you're worried about how you're perceived? Poor baby. Guess that should put it into perspective for me as I lay here on the ground cold and hungry.
What's the point of having a good story with no one to tell it to? Poor people aren't getting book deals every day. They aren't beating publishers off with a stick; they're trying to keep their heads above water.
@@alexs1640 i mean to be fair they weren't born with any perspective but ironically i think that type of depression only further highlights how capitalism serves to undermine mental health
@@ratedpending and I definitely agree, their depression is valid. My issue is comparing it to actual poor people and their problems and "wishing" you had their problems instead of your own. It's like getting a paper cut and expressing pain and wishing you had a gunshot wound instead... it's like, yes I can see you're in pain but your pains are not equal...
@@alexs1640 i know and i agree, it's just that my frustration is more at the system that doesn't promote perspective i suppose (since it's profitable to be divisive etc etc)
Gary V telling people that time is money while not paying overtime to his employees is just a cherry on top
They should quit then
@@haremking7256 yes, quit a job and become homeless
@@haremking7256 And people do, he has a high turnover rate. Its just that they keep on hiring new people who don't know the reputation of the company and exploit them.
@@haremking7256 wrong way to look at this. No one should be underpaying their employees, especially people that claim to hustle. Gary v doesn't know the power of hard work and if he did he wouldn't be trying to get it for free by underpaying his employees, who are the ones that he actually makes money from. Dude doesn't do shit but get online to sell his name.
@@drdrugs6032 yeah your right,I was in a weird mindset when I typed
In my experience children of really wealthy parents generally have a lot of confidence about being self-made and capable of counseling others. They also think it's absolutely natural that they are in positions of power over people who have had to do much more to get to where they are. All people can be confident about their perceived superiority, but it takes a certain degree of cluelessness born of an absence of hardship to have the degree of confidence displayed in the video.
theres something fascinating about this guy's obsession with the Jets, idk why that struck such a chord in my head, but when he said "my mom made me a jets sweater cause I couldnt get one" and the fact that all the other kids he wanted to hang out with also like the jets, and now his life's mission is to BUY the team itself. All the while describing how he's lost friends and loved ones on this life path of endless work, it really feels like trying to chase some lost, childhood thing and missing all the opportunities along the way. such a strange portrait of a man who is desperately trying to validate his own world view and lifestyle.
When I saw that spot, I couldn't help but think of that Simpsons episode where Homer said that his dream was to own the Dallas Cowboys and then he was ungrateful when he was actually gifted the Denver Broncos.
This comment me think about the ending of Citizen Kane.
@@brandonalejandroblanco Darnit, I was gonna commnent "Rosebud..."!
See his comments on trust fund babies. He is one. As sad as that story is, it is a fiction he tells himself to be less sad than realising that he is exactly that.
"I spend every waking moment working and never take a single break for personal time" is certainly a claim to make while sitting in front of a wall exhibiting loads of paraphernalia from your hobbies.
But having hobbies and leisure to brag about is part of the lifestyle, surely. That's learning things and networking toward spaces you wouldn't otherwise interact with, as well as a flex for having the chance to.
Wow wow there fella , you're trying use logical thinking over here, we don't do that around these parts
@@ChristieBrewster But he's not selling himself has having that sort of lifestyle. He's claiming the exact opposite, that not even _he_ has the time to enjoy any leisure activities. Showing off his hobbies while claiming he doesn't have time for hobbies, and neither should you, isn't a flex. It's just making the lie obvious.
@@-tera-3345 You're right, he does say that. Shit advice too, no wonder he doesn't follow it.
I think he just collects things in the hope it will be worth money later. There's no way he has a real hobby
It's cute how he genuinely believes he was an entrepreneur as a child, when really, it was just his neighbors thinking he was being cute and wouldn't deny a child money. 😬
He genuinely thought he fooled them lol
Hmmm, yessss.... "cute"....

Well to be fair, his Dad hustled to get the liquor store to 3M in local sales. Gary just rode that coat tails and acts like he hustled from 0.
@@DevinMacGregor You dont know the full story, few really do. His dad probably took over the business from a friend/relative. A liquor store in an established area is basically a cash cow, and they are very limited by liquor license regulations.
You either have the money to buy one, which is a significant outlay of capital, or get one handed down to you.
They are pretty easy to run.
Gary Vee predicting what smart tech will look like in the future is like listening to those videos from the 50's predicting what hair will look like in the 90's.
He was early to UA-cam, early to Snap, early to Twitter, early to Instagram/Google/FB ads, and he was firm that TikTok would take over back when it was called musically and no one over the age of 18 took it seriously. But yeah sure bud, he's the idiot and you're the genius
Funny how he claims to have no hobbies because he's utterly dedicated to work... whilst sitting in front of his collection of sports memorabilia and high-end alcohol. Both things he's clearly had a long-term interest in.
Yeah. It’s not like he said multiple times, he is watching jets on the weekend or going to garage selling lmao
its not like he was making money selling money from high end alcohol and sports memorabilia
If Gary does something he enjoys, it automatically counts as 'work', because he's rich. But if you do something enjoyable that might actually require genuine effort and intellectual engagement, it still doesn't count as 'work', because you're poor. Thus Spake Late Stage Capitalism.
@@lyndonlives638 wtf are you on about. Your just making stuff up and hope people agree with jt.
He is smart collecting all that stuff because it does not decrease in value. It can only go up since they are collectible.

That's actually most people's first mistake if you want to build inter-generational wealth. Real Sigma males get born at the age of at least 30 in order to get a head start in life. It enables you to hustle remotely from the comfort of your mother's womb without the distractions of having to worry about breathing, digestion, rent, etc.
i for one was born at the age of six without a face
I just remembered where I recognized this guy from! He interviewed my grandfather about 12 years ago on the wine library channel and the entire time my grandfather had this look on his face like “I crave death every time this guy opens his mouth”
pls I know I’m a year late but do you know the name of the video? I need to see it 😭
Joe Rogan looked like he had similar thoughts on the extract shown here. That's why Gary works better as a charismatic secular preacher.
As someone who once worked in so-called "black company" who exploited their employee and already felt burned out and depressed, Gary Vee literally reminds me to one of my supervisor who glorifies "eat, sleep, work, repeat" when he himself didn't do that and just threw his works to his subordinate. What a hypocrite!

"You know what I think is better than being born into something? Being born into nothing." Says the man who inherited his daddy's $3 million wine business, and now tries to convince people he scraped himself off the streets of New Jersey to become a self-made millionaire.
A boyfriend I had a few years ago was really into Gary Vee. I was struggling with undiagnosed ADHD and all of the motivation issues that come with that, and he sent me a few Gary Vee videos to try and help get me out of the slump. I got through like one or two, deciding in the end that this guy just lives to work. Even on my most motivated days, I never want to live to work. That sounds like absolute hell.
I also couldn't get over how much of a grifter he sounded like. My thoughts at the time were he sounds like a lying cartoon salesman. It's vindicating to learn that was pretty accurate lol. He's a millionaire venture capitalist who convinces people living paycheck to paycheck that all they have to do is HUSTLE HARDER and BE HUNGRIER they can have what he has.

@@godhobb2019 watch the video?
I see this guy messing up lazy young people in my neighborhood. He may not mean it, but he his f'ing up a lot of people foolish enough to follow him.
To be fair Gary admits he gives the work hard advice because it’s the main thing people can control. But he’s so funny comparing trust fund babies vs people with nothing. He’s the embodiment of toxic positivity.
This video made me think a lot of the book The Meritocracy Trap. it talks abt how capitalism has changed to glorify hard work, to the point of exhaustion, which means that the rich (who can afford the best classes, colleges, can afford to work the hardest) can get extremely well-paying, hard work jobs they can brag about. gary vee is like, the posterchild for this.
My dad never peels the protective film off electronics to "Keep them looking nice." The film itself was ugly, but our family TV had the film on it's bezel until the day a capacitor on the main board fried ruining it. Gary's flex that he never hung out or kept up with friends because he was too busy with the grind has big bezel-film-on-broken-TV energy.
That is such a delightfully specific and horrendously accurate insult.
He also says that line while litterally having hobbies and leisure items on the wall and shelves behind him. He goes to Jets matches, he buys statues and action figures, etc. He is litterally lying.
Leaving the film on a lot of tx's (especially on the back) ruins their passive cooling and causes them to die far faster :D
I keep my electronics peeled unless they're visible.
Ie my pc's panel windows is peeled because it's acrylic and it's facing against a wall. If I ever decide to move it in a place that has the windows visible, the peel will come off.
Words once spoken to me years ago which made me develop a phobia of the capitalist grind set...
She said... “For what are you doing this? Who is left in your life who cares?... “
It was a moment of divine revelation that... without chaos, adrenaline and lots of loved ones and friends and people in my life... my success means nothing.
"The internet fixed racism"
There were so many other wild things, but this one. THIS ONE.
Yeah my jaw dropped and my eyebrows disappeared
The guy sounds like a living, breathing, Onion article.

Racism will always exist. The West is by far the least racist tho. Y’all should see race relations in East Asia or the Middle East
The internet has lifted more marginalized groups out of poverty than any other innovation.
You’re like a teacher that threw professionalism out the window and i love it
Yes I agree
You have so much talent, so funny, so hardworking. The fact youre not a millionaire shows that either the system is broken or being a millionaire isnt a sign of your worth as a human.
Maybe we should all sugardaddy her.
What do you mean "or"
Hearing some one sincerely tell a crowd that they should imitate intrusive thoughts is mind-boggling. I gotta spend 5 minutes in the shower convincing myself that my loved ones are okay because my brain's already decided that they've all gone and died someway somehow. Like damn, I feel like if that was the recipe for success, then all the neurodivergent millennials would've already taken over the world
THIS.
That advice is unbelievably irresponsible from a psychological standpoint and I can't believe no one stood up and stopped the talk at that point.
My ocd would've given me billions of dollars by now if that was true
If intrusive thoughts were wealth I'd be fucking Jeff Bezos rich, but nope. I'm just broke AF with a psychotic condition diagnosis
He's a moron.
The fact that he thinks you can turn motivation into OCD is the most bizarre sh!t I've heard today.
See he never had to work or study, not for a single day in his life, yet he stands there on a freaking stage trying to play behavioral therapist... He probably doesn't even know that "behavioral science" exists, and multiple theories have been proposed on to how modulate human behavior. It's hard, doesn't always work, and is proven only to be successful in limited situations..
For instance: If you're trying to get people vaccinated against HPV. You're not going to be a billionaire by working harder; scamming which is a lot of what these imbiciles do and pure sociopathy just might get you there.
Also don't forget to be male, white, and have no talent but the audacity to preach arising from deep seated narcissism which you're scared to be officially diagnosed with so you can believe your own lie about how you're God and are above "mortal men".
And everyone else is inferior and therefore deserving of being poor.
You also need no college education, seems to be a common trait among those morons.

People who talk the most about how they're "self-made" and "built my wealth from nothing" are always the most privileged people of all. I really think that the advantages they have hurt their ego and they have to convince themselves and everyone else that they actually ever achieved anything on their own.

I was watching this video and getting sadder and sadder, realizing that there is actually nothing that can be done to escape the hellhole. I was thinking of actual ways of getting rich and not worrying about starvation and couldn't come up with any that would not include burnout or exploitation of others. I was thinking 'damn I know it is impossible to get rich quick but how can I let go of this dream of not having my survival tied to employment'... and then the song happened that told me exactly what can be done and I mentally came with proletarian joy
Or, you know, get a job you hate to pay the bills, and while you have a home and food, plan to do something better. Like every human not born into luxury in history.
@@jeffhoward162 is it 'or' for what? Song doesn't go against this lifestyle, it adds to it. Voting, uniting, etc. doesn't interfere with that. Although those things can make the job less hateworthy
@Infine Myself that's fair...uniting, voting, are all definitely going to help. My point was that even in a capitalist hellhole like the states, you're better off with a home and food while you work on the other stuff. I'm from a far more socialist country, and can get unduly flippant when people in that situation talk. My bad...
The only blessing I've ever gotten from growing up poor was the ability to personally see the faults of capitalism for what they are. I couldn't become obsessed with brands or the profit motive because my family didn't have the resources to care. I didn't learn to look down on other poor people because I knew how hard my parents worked for so little. While I am thankful for that, that enlightenment wasn't worth the childhood malnutrition and untreated medical conditions.
Nothing is perfect but what you are trying to say it is the problem of distribution of production but it is not only applied to capitalism. It is one of the hardest problems to solve.

Imagine a 6 year old weighing less than 12 kg because of untreated tuberculosis and malnutrition. There is no advantage in poverty, only disadvantages.

On the other hand, I have seen a fair share of "professional beggars" in my nation. They are truly useless scumbags of society that got rich from panhandling and begging; they are just good at impersonating truly impoverished individuals and had the ability to manipulate someone to giving them money while they provide questionable value to their "profession" to give the donator good vibes of "doing good." Some of these beggars reportedly in the media had bought a house with cash, had cars, and go out to work with full, professional-grade make-up to make them as "poor" as the truly impoverished.

But, on the other hand he's so cartoonishly over the top about it (omg who the fuck could survive never taking a weekend or a vacation day... I want whatever mutant body they have!!!) that it kinda helps me remember that breaks are necessary and you need more than just time to be productive.
Also as a teacher who works on the weekend and does 14 hour days sometimes, yeah, "Hard work" won't automatically get you more money and maybe there are other reasons to do something...
Gary Vee is yet another of those guys that makes me want to do a double-dose of HRT
His whole worldview is so weird, even weirder than most of the capitalism devotees in his ilk. Like, he's yelling about never stopping, always working, never taking a vacation or a day off, all just to make money. But like...for what? Why are you trying to make all of this money if you're never able to spend it? I don't get it.
Clearly, you're making all this money for HIM to spend.
Well, he makes sense to me... I don't completely agree with what he's saying, but still... I can see in his way of thinking the Eastern European influence. It's like Eastern Europe + America mixed into a single thing...
You ask for what do you work? It's not about the money per se. It's about not being dominated. The rich dominate the poor, the powerful dominate the weak, so become rich and powerful to avoid that. It's not even about you dominating others, it's about being powerful enough to be independent. I suspect his father who did live in the USSR had a large influence over his mentality.
Regarding his mentality that being an immigrant is an advantage... again, I get it. I heard this from quite a few of my fellow Romanians who went West. The daily schedule is work-home-work-home for a lot of people. There is no social life for a lot of immigrants. You go, make money for your family and you come back home. A guy who went to the US told me about Americans: they're polite, but you will never be their friend. And many work and live in bad conditions to make money and save it, so even if you stay in a foreign country, you avoid poverty. It's about surviving in a foreign environment. Think of it this way... if you run into financial problems, an Englishman has English family and friends there to help him. As an immigrant, your friends and family might be thousands of km away and they might not have the money to save you. You're on your own... maybe with a wife and a kid... without money, you're screwed.

Apparently some people aspire to be Scrooge McDuck
@@octavianpopescu4776 Unfortunately, you can make your whole life about working and never escape being "dominated".
Gary invested inherited money in startups, got rich and then claims that having no money is an advantage. 🤔
It's always those who espouse the values of poverty and struggle who never had to worry about it.
And he got that money from inheriting his family's wine business.
Not really he improved his dads small business worth just 3 million dollars (which is 22,6 million in money today ) and trough the use of emerging technology (and he didn't even gamble, like there were no risks involved) doubled market share of his poor poor dads business and gambled a little with some startup companies (which were time and luck dependant) won big, and then claimed expertise on marketing based upon 1 company i don't even wonder how such an idea passed trough the net of investors by all accounts if there were any competence hierarchy or that mythical meritocracy he would have been on the bottom of the list of "marketing experts" however since these things are fairy tales he somehow acquired enough suckers to grow his business long enough till he reached another break which was 0 interest credits age then he managed to bring in real cash from investors but since he knew that all that growth is fictional he needs some collateral and like a narcissist and since his initial sucess was not growth experience i.e. he did nothing to grow his company he was just in the right place at right time with enough capital he can't replicate his sucess (otherwise he would have been richest man on earth at this point) because he understood nothing on why exactly he sucssided to begin with, he is now selling you ways to become rich as all charlatans do.
What's funny about Gary is that he is an embodiment of everything that is absolutely wrong with the demand's businesses and capitalism places on the work force today but also displays an even bigger issue. The fact that the capitalism economy we depend on is starting to fall apart. Think about it, wages are stagnant, and more and more people are struggling to pay bills, find affordable food, pay for medicals bills (Not to mention it has been proven that the middle class is in fact shrinking). Even more shocking is that as of 2020, over 50% of the household income now goes to just rent/housing costs for renters so its not even a shock saving has become super difficult. And this is affecting a vast majority of people, young and old. So those who are capitalist like Gary is, they claim the way to fix is simply "Work harder" basically instead of 8 hours, work 20 hours. Knowing full well that simply is impossible. The body cannot do that. We cannot work away the problem. Working more hours means nothing if the amount of your income is eaten by rising costs of living. Basically, what Gary and people in group are, are mainly gifted in selling the dream that these things are still achievable by holding the faith in capitalism because it did us so well for decades which is true but now real problems are starting to mount. These are problems that capitalism truly cannot fix.

If you have trauma, the market doesn’t care. That’s the problem though. The society doesn’t give a shit and moves on without you. And unlike what Gary V thinks, you can’t just work trauma out of existence by overworking yourself. He just thinks you can just move on from trauma or social anxiety or toxic parents.
So you are saying that you cant get past adversity, so you truly believe it can't be done? There's no way you can improve yourself? Can never beat depression and will always stay at a mental handicap?
@@darthclone7 Of course it can be done, but it will require time, help, and efforts dedicated specifically to the treatment of that trauma, which some people simply cannot afford. We are expected to be all right and in top working shape at all times, if you ever fall and aren't lucky enough to have a good support system, what do you do? The trauma won't solve itself if you just stop paying attention while you work your ass off to pay your bills, if you don't treat them, the symptoms tend to get worse and worse, which will make it much harder to resolve years after if you eventually end up with the financial stability to deal with it.
Yes, people would be far more effective in their work, far more productive for society when addressing some of those underlying issues that overworking oneself will not fix. There is some balance to be had. Otherwise, we produce selfish assholes like Gary V with possibly a net negative on society's productivity and inherent intangible value.
@@darthclone7 so you're saying you don't believe trauma exists?
Why can’t you?
If Gary simply put the words “in my opinion” or even “in my experience” in front of every statement, he would be much closer to demonstrating the humility that he loves to preach.
We can do that for him and others. Whatever someone says, it’s just their opinion. If he doesn’t say so it doesn’t mean it’s written in stone in his mind or in general in life.
He mentions that ALL THE TIME anyway. He keeps saying 'if it works for you, you've won in life. You don't need to listen to me.'
He doesn't need to repeat in my opinion after every sentence because people don't understand that not all advice applies to them.
When I was a kid I went door to door selling my drawings and when I came home with money and I told my parents what I did they made me go back and give all the money I made back.

Of course, this is kind of a moot point, because I would argue that not only do a majority of people not like working, it's only a means to an end, but also that a large amount of people who do enjoy working have formed a dependency on it and their social lives due to the unhealthy balance of it, and as a result only enjoy working compared to their lack of other social experiences.

About selling his neighbors their own flowers, now I understand why being a merchant is considered an "dishonorable" profession in many cultures hundreds of years ago. Now that being said, I don't consider being a "businessman" a honest job, every time someone tried to defend people that got their money through exploiting others. Not everyone think the term have a positive connotation.
Totally agree. When i heard that merchants were disrespected in Edo Period/Tokugawa class structure, it didn't make sense at first.
It slowly made more sense that a product can theoretically be sold by the craftsperson/farmer directly to the consumer.
I think the challenge is scale. Supply chains are needing when people centralize.
Try reading about the greek merchants that circulated through the Ottoman Empire during the feudal age. Absolute grifters. We still have words in romanian with their etymology linked to lying merchants' shenanigans
@@jossypoo Exactly. I have the choice to drive twenty miles to get my veggies, or walk five minutes and get them from a merchant at the local market. I'm more than willing to pay extra for his service. I don't consider that a dishonest job in itself. I mean, that's just how markets work. It's convenient. And I know the dude, he's cool.
The problem isn't the people producing stuff and moving it around the world, it's the people who take the biggest piece of the pie because the economic system dictates they are somehow the 'owners' of that labour and thus entitled to the wealth it produces. That's how Bezos gets to buy a new yacht while Amazon workers have to piss in bottles.
The whole 'endless grind' and 'work yourself to death or else you're an undeserving loser' is just part of the mental and emotional abuse. They have to fomo and gaslight everyone or else it becomes apparent that the carrot they've been dangling all this time is, and has always been, one giant lie.
This idea that hierarchical structure is an inherently bad thing is ridiculous. Someone is needed to know how to direct people and build a company from scratch and put all of the people in place to do it and take all of the risk involved in starting it. In what way is that exploiting people lol. Especially him as he pays his employees very well. This idea that the worker is mainly responsible for a product and an entrepreneur is just sitting there collecting a check is just plain false. The workers wouldn’t even be able to do what they do without someone coming up with it first and putting them in a position to do so.
@@musicbynimbvs
People have been building things as long as humanity has existed, and business as we know it is only a blip in that history. I'm pretty sure we know at least one craftsmen that produce something directly.
Everyone take a risk, in fact, workers have more at stake, because their livelihood depends on it and there's no viable alternatives to them under the current system. What's the worst a business owner could experience if they don't get to own a business? They could just take regular jobs like most people. If they have a lot of money to begin with, it doesn't matter if they invested a lot if the stake is low.
Nobody said entrepreneur do nothing, but compared to the actual labor that workers actually puts in, they might as well not do anything. This is especially true for shareholders, they don't even get involved in management all that much, some not at all. By the way, even team coordination was mainly done by lower management level, and research & developments are almost always done by employees. And not to forget that people that inherited a business often already have someone to do everything for them, that's why heirs of wealthy tycoons often spent time partying and vacationing with very little input to the company.
Most workers aren't exactly fond of their jobs, they only take the best job they could get in at the moment so that they can just get by. If we're speaking hypothetically that we completely abolished wage labor as we know it, people would still be producing stuffs like it always has. They would have make something that they're actually good at, and not to fulfill somebody's vanity projects.
Cool channel format! The music video segments are very nostalgic
You went hard in this video I loved the song at the end. I saw the guitar in the background of the whole video but I didn’t know you were gonna have your way with it like that
I know one person who thinks having a burn out is weakness and getting therapy is a sign you've given up. Immediately thinking about that when I heard this dude talk about working 24/7. The person I know missed a lot of their kid's childhood. Yet their company just declared bankruptcy - not that success would make it worth all the bad stuff that comes on the way I think. The hustle culture is truly toxic.
Yeah I’m so glad I quit that shit when I was 21, I can’t imagine burning myself out for corporations until I died
I can only feel empathic for this one. When I graduated from University I felt utterly useless and un-hirable. It was so bad that I got influenced by MLM salespeople with their hustle culture. Fortunately, I got out before spending real money because I realized that income wasn't guaranteed. My point is that hindsight is always 20/20.
Gary V says if you don't like what you do then quit.. He constantly tells ppl this that visits him about the pressure of what the family wants for them and how they want something else that's low income.. do what you love.
@@darthclone7 it doesn't matter if you love what you do, you can still burn out. And I assume it would in fact be much more likely. I loved my field of studies very much, so I dedicated my time and energy to it. Though at the point of becoming suicidal, I did get help and went to regular therapy for 1,5 years.
My point was it isn't healthy to try and work 24/7. You need a balanced life with time with family & friends, enough sleep, time to rest, vacations so you can get your mind off the everyday life, etc. You also need to reach for help and if things come to that, therapy is good.
Hustle culture is toxic, because it will eventually ruin your health and possibly your relationships with those you care about. I've seen a survey of what people regret on their death bed. They don't regret not working hard, instead they often regret working too much and as a result having ignored their loved ones.
Btw the person that I was referring to has a huge problem with chronic stress, and sleeplessness as a result. They've been almost totally burn out. They engaged in a field that was originally their hobby. They're still young enough not to have serious problems with health.
You know the saying: Work smarter not harder.
Working less but making the correct decisions is far more important than working more and getting sloppy.
Hustle culture amongst immigrants, the expectation for children to be the model minority and respectability politics entrenched into first generation Americans by immigrant parents is deeply harmful. Your sense of self depends on what you produce, forced to take back breaking physical labor jobs for less pay, and your attitude towards other minorities becomes hostile. Being a hardworking, family oriented person with immigrant parents, I saw how making things work out to simply live in a home, the process of seeking childcare, support for my disability, is painful. I only saw my mom in the evenings because she worked and had side hustles with MLMs (MLMs thrive off of immigrants), and selling her crochet goods. She needed to make the money, but I needed my mom. Gary V only sees the title of being an immigrant so it can make for a fun underdog story, but having to grow up and reparent yourself is something he will never give a shit about.
Immigrant kids fall into the hustle culture not because of the expectations and wanting to be model minorities, almost all of them do so to become rich quickly. They watch those rich celebrities and want to have what they have as quickly as possible. Basically the same reason why most people to this shit.
Immigrants who want to be model minorities and fullfil the expectations of their family don't do shit like that, they go to college and follow a genuine career path.
@@maythesciencebewithyou not everyone can follow that path, which is why those expectations are tough. Those who don't, end up being MLM Huns, grifters, entrepreneurs. Trust me. A lot of parents want their kids to be doctors, police officers, and make big bucks for generational wealth, not everyone can do that. That type of pressure to be the best births a cut throat idealism
By his own admission, he says he never saw his father regularly until he was about 12 years old. He had a physically absentee father--essentially, he grew up fatherless. Which explains a lot of shortcomings of wanting to be more, probably feeling like he's not enough. And attaining more is how he copes with feeling lonely, since he was taught indirectly that working more and gaining more material things is what men do.
I’m not even an immigrant and I can relate to a lot of that. In my family that’s the same atmosphere, if your boss is racist just keep your head down kiss up and eventually get the money to afford a better job. That’s what I’m doing now…
I feel this on a deep, personal level. My dad was a similar way. I respect his struggle, but he usually appeared in my life financially or not at all. He was also overly strict nearly every time I did see him, which made things worse. We weren't even wealthy either (or even comfortably middle class), so I just ended up feeling robbed in every way.
Our relationship has improved now, but I can't get back my childhood. He can't get back the years of stress and strain on him either. Every time I start getting sucked into the hustle mindset, I remember that and try to course-correct.
Good calls. Thx. Sadly long time coming and needed
Dude that song at the end is so good!! Just started watching your stuff and i love it
People like Gary think replying to six emails in a day and going to a lunch with someone who owns another business is the pinnacle of busting your ass at work
I love when he pulled out his phone to show his calendar. Umm, yes dumbass, that is the calendar of a CEO, not a hustler. They go to breakfast meetings, lunch meetings, dinner meetings. Iger has a designated eating/meeting room, next to the cafeteria on the Studio Lot. On the 5th floor of Team Disney are executive dining. A main room and then a series of private rooms, all with their own chef. So their busting ass consists of talking a lot and throwing shit at a wall to see what sticks, while stuffing their faces.
I love how even Joe Rogan had his "this guy's an idiot..." face goin' full force, on having to hear Vee's regurgitation of the Christian apologetics' favorite "inspirational" BS about the odds of existing.
It's been very funny watching Rogan second-hand over the years. It feels like, over time, he's realised that he's become a mouthpiece of the right and of an uncritical view of highly toxic ideologies, and is slowly shifting to be more of what I'd call an "unenlightened centrist" - i.e. someone who is legitimately a centrist, who tends towards not really caring what others do but who wants progress to be measured vs the faster pace reformers (like me) would prefer.
Watching him realise that institutionalised racism is an actual thing that's very serious and legitimately DOES mean that, for example, non-white Americans are severely detrimented by the US justice system and then say that to Ben Shapiro who didn't know how to hand it was VERY funny.
@@Abigail-hu5wf
Ah yes, institutionalised racism, big words that never go into detail and the solution ?
Give more power to the Goverment that is so racist.
That's crazy. Jamie, pull that up
@@Ixiah27 lots of people have gone into a hell of a lot more detail, with a myriad of solutions. Do your own research instead expecting a youtube comment that barely mentioned something to educate you. Don't act like your own ignorance is the fault of others.

When I heard him say that he lost all of his friends and girlfriends because he pushed himself 100% into his work I thought “So this guy is basically Ebenezer Scrooge in the remaining 11 months of the year… what a sad existence”
Gary Vee: "Live the vapid, soul crushing half life of a capital generation automaton and you will (maybe) get money!"
Sure Gary, but will it fill the void?
So when will the ghosts come?
