Manuel Hernandez yeah man, I herd this on the podcast and even I was like O.O. I like how the energy is so organic too, like he doesn't force it out. He just cares that much.
3:48 is the real #QOTD and I used to do things that didn't have any value because society said so, right up until about 15 when I stopped being an A+ student and started making money from the internet, that was 16 years ago when AOL was the game and Web Design was still a new concept. I got started early. I decided that the whole point of school was to position you to be successful and that grades were arbitrary.They take off points for attendance, I can out perform everyone with less help from a teacher and be graded down because you want more of my time and attention... I decided school was not actually preparing me for the real world, but to waste time with arbitrage. So I gave it less attention and focused on learning skills I felt would help me be successful in a world I realized would be dominated by technology and design. I blew off homework and projects and took C's even though I was an honors student and getting A's on test and getting AP level placement scores... why? To focus on learning, Design, Coding, Photography, Video Production, Video Editing, User Experience, Biz Dev, Audio Production, How to Build and Repair Computers and Creative Writing... you know the skills that every single major brand is built on... the things that all of our favorite most important apps facilitate or deliver on... you know, those thing we consume more of than everything else... Now I get to work for myself, built a community of over 40,000 creatives subscribed to and consuming me on UA-cam, write for industry publications, film conferences and I've recently started speaking at conferences and now have deals in place for E-courses with 3 of the major online education sites and a few of the smaller ones. The level of arbitrage in our society, the value people give to OPTICS and leave on the table doing crap that doesn't give them value is INSANE. And I'm so glad that ***** keeps bringing this up. I took so much crap for some many years for some of my choices, but very few people except some people that I know that are older family are friends, can dispute the results of those choices. Those who do are still being romantic and living in the past.
Gary - finished the last of the 117 episodes today in just under 2 weeks. I turn 40 tomorrow and I am restarting my side business you inspired me to start a few years ago (Legacy State University - "legacy is greater than currency."). Hustling from 11pm - 2am every night now, thanks for reigniting that in me. Just wanted to post so I'm not a lurker, but know that I'm here in the background, optimizing my most valuable asset to build something I can be proud of. THANK YOU.
Probably one of my favorite shows. I love all of them, but this one is subtly special. I love the mindset talk, Stunwin's moment, the complaining about success rant, and the downplaying of top-line proxies. Love it!
I love the concept of 'stats' and what people think one deserves, I get the statement a lot on our show, "you deserve more subscribers!!" What does it mean to 'deserve' them? I have good quality content...? I know this. What matters to me are QUALITY subscribers, not QUANTITY. I can sell 13k worth of cocktail gear in a month with 63k subscribers--sure, I could probably sell more with 80k subscribers but not if they're all purchased fake users...then I just have a big number but nobody is home. Why own a city with no people in it? I want the people, not the zombies. I've seen great successful businesses both online and offline with 300+ facebook followers. Why don't they have more? Maybe they're being too successful to go harass people to 'fan' them..I dunno.
#QOTD I used to be a gamer, I used to be good at it, then the HUSTLE took over my life and I realized how much time I was leaving on the table. I will say that for nostalgia I will pickup my DS and Play Pokemon when I can't sleep... my mentor then 10 year old kid I used to be, is pleased with this... ;)
***** I hear you. I've just found that for me I almost don't consider a lot of what I'm doing "work" sometimes. I love photography, and art and design and video, and when I shut everything else and immerse myself in creating I feel like its my meditation.... unless there's a looming deadline, in which case it becomes work LOL.
Roberto Blake I think people can hustle while playing video games.... Build business relationships... be a ***** and make good money providing value to their community... etc etc... But for me... it was just a time waster....
Chad Solberg It's not that it is impossible, it's just unlikely for many. If you're not doing things halfway then you're putting passion, energy time and money into it. Some people can get a what they feel is a great ROI on certain experiences, I decided what experiences created the most ROI for me and which ones didn't and at the end I cut a lot of things in favor of mostly creative pursuits. Creating over Consuming.
love the show, the reason why I love the show, is it's so much more rewarding in many ways, then some older interviews, with people who really made it big
Scale is so key! I realized how I haven't owned how I've done that for others and how others have done that for me and how not acknowledging it has held me back from doing in other areas of my life that's important to me. Acknowledging Steve for that just made it real for me and I'm sure many others.
The Gary Vee "How about that?!" face... Turn to the side, eyebrows raised, and pursed mouth and head nodding makes me lol every time. Especially if there is an immediate fade to B&W!! Love it!
This episode was fucking fire. I LOVED that second last answer where Gary got pissed. So you know what Gary, I will leave you a review on iTunes. And you bet it'll be 5 big fucking stars!
Information Technology Q & A Show OMG, like totally! I'm in third grade, and I say FUCK and SHIT all the time! Like Gary's the only person I've ever met on my level. It's fuckin' tight. SHIT!!!!! lol. Can't believe I just said that on the PUBLIC INTERNET! If my mom sees this, she's gonna kill me! So what grade are you in???
I don't play video games, but my husband does... He is currently playing Fallout. How many stars would I give you? I would give you 5 stars because you are straightforward and honest with your truth. You're not selling yourself, you're saying this is what I see, this is how I got here and these are ways you could apply it to you. I would love to hear a little expansion into some of the more "creative" job areana's (photographers, makers, that sort). Otherwise, I am referring you to everyone I know including the nonprofit that I volunteer with. Keep up the great work and know that you are appreciated.
I've watched every episode, and the answer ***** gives at 4:54 about his one ritual and perspective on life is the single most important message he's shared on the show. Great to see someone articulate that perspective so well.
I love what you said about keeping things in perspective and having an attitude of gratitude. This is truly the key to success. Thank you for a great show!
hands down. by far. favorite episode. I've shared this with so many people. happiness is addicting & complainers are going to complain. you have your health? Then you've got cap to complain about. this right here is hands down my favorite episode!!! keep it up!
Stopped gaming years ago. Also decided I needed to Hustle more. Sitting down to play a game will be a reward to myself everytime I hit personal deadline/goal. It adds to my motivation
Literally my FAVORITE EPISODE of all time, you'll know why G! So much depth and real value provided here, I hope the Vaynernation is listening. BRAVO to you G. and Steve, excellent exchange and real life examples on perspective. QOTD: Not a gamer ... but when I do play, I want to play at an Arcade and give me nothing but Pacman and Galaxia!! Old school baby!!❤️
I agree with your opening comments about reading. Many people do not learn as much from reading as they do from listening and hands on action. It makes us nimble!
New Future Builder Yes, I think we are just wired to be more action oriented. I lack the patience to read about something. If I am interested in the subject I want to be doing it as quickly as possible. Gary is perfect for us!! Thx Gary!!
I have to say this is by far the best episode of them all hands down. The advice given- I can personally attest in my professional career, is indeed the key to happiness and growth. Gary's comment about empowering others to take control...yep that is GOLD. Favorited. Cheers!
QOTD: I don't DO games, Steve... not real enough. I do LIFE! "99% of things don't matter" Serious truth, there, Gary. Don't sweat the petty shit!" (and don't pet the sweaty shit) "bonkers-shit-usa" That pretty much sums it up, alright!
in episode 117 Gary has asked for a review - So, here it is: Like a stiff shot of whisky, a cold shower, a run naked down the street of Banff in minus 14… this show will WAKE YOU UP! I’ve been a garyvee fan for years - and to give him the right kind of review, it’s only fair to use a wine reference… HE’S GETTING BETTER WITH AGE. Thanks for the effort for all this time Gary. People - watch if you like to be inspired! (my review is also on itunes store Aust)
I've been thinking a lot about the QOTD. My initial reaction was that I didn't want to admit that I love certain video games. I guess ashamed. This past week was the first phase of my programming internship and there was a lot of talk about gaming. I realize now that what everyone loved so much was the ability to bond with others and share their gaming experiences. To go on virtual adventures with each other. Bonding is so primal and necessary for us all. I still say that I'd rather allocate my time to developing my career but I've made peace with why I love games so much.
I'm so glad you found "that place" late in response to too much success. I literally sat at my desk staring with my mouth open the whole time you went off on that question. That reaction will be one of the best for this show in a while. It reminds me of "OUT OF BUSINESS" haha. Love love love it, Gary.
Steve Unwin ive quit my gaming.... ***** essentially guilted me out of gaming.... it was what I did that wasted time... it wasnt building relationships with friends... it wasnt market research for games id be developing (I am a software engineer) it was plain drink alone(gaming alone) straight up time wasting.......... he called me out on it and I quit. p.s. Stunner good to see you more on the show, again.
Chad Solberg Yep, I quit pre Gary and only rarely come out of gaming retirement. Mostly when insomnia strikes, because i can't work without a clear mind, so doing anything meaningful when I"m tired is a no-no.
I am only at 10:33 on the video but I would love to be apart of this. I would love for all this positivity and helping others be more in control as well. Love you gary you are truely an incredible guy!
I've been starting from the beginning and over the last month or so I've gotten to episode 117. The first half of this when you and Steve play ball is amazing... It's all about the religion and empowering others.. Thank you.. and looking forward to continuing this journey of catching all of your episodes and get started on DailyVee's ... Fun fact: This is my first comment on your show... I've tweeted.. grammed..snapped...but never thought it would be worth it to comment until I caught all the way up... Well guess what.. I was wrong... Thanks broham!
A) Bruh, you went on fire at the end. B) I accidentally gave up video games when I got a piano a few years back, but in terms of leveling up and learning skills to advance, I think about them the same way. In that case, the video game I'm playing is Philip Glass's Piano Etudes. Haven't made it to the final boss.
QOTD - I am playing Pinochle, not much else. I play a free one on my phone and a free one on my fire. I swear one of those Wuzzles winked at one point. The wine rack is looking a little empty :) I LOVED your answer about you not reading books; I've been looking for that answer for a while. Great job my dude! This show was long but didn't feel like it. I guess that means it was pretty tremendous. Thanks for the time brother. Yours, B.S.
#QOTD: I used to play video games. Then I started hustling. Really, I play a bit of boom beach and clash of clans because I can literally spend 5 minutes on it to get my mind reset and then get back to business. I just don't have time to commit to something that is measured in 30 minute increments or more. Unless, my hustle was video game reviews and such, but it's not.
117 was freakin tight! So much energy. QOTD: I see what u did there Mr Unwin. Everyone watching the show will say "nothing, I hustle". And most of them LIE! My games atm: HoTS, The Witcher 3 and just the other day tried Clash of Clans. Not sure about the last one yet, but it's atleast Finnish yay!
I am a guy that likes Mountain biking (former store owner), I like cars and watches, like to talk to people. I am trapped in my family business (clinical laboratory) trying to take it to a next level. We hire a study to see if can sell it and the study shows that is not the time to sell but if we get our sales up a 10% in the next year we can triple our value to sell or continue to grow the business to leave a legacy to my sons and my family. My mom is the center of the business and it has been difficult for her to delegate and the business has been for years in a almost cero growth due to high rotation of personnel among other things. How I can take it to the next level using what I think is the future of business promotion marketing and sales....the social media. I like to get results with minimun effort in order to allocate strenght in areas that really needs it!!! Help Gary! Appreciate it...
Ive recently discovered Gary , been binge watching, really love the soul fire from this guy and need a lil magic to get to the next level for my company. You've got your self another true fan Gary. Two Thumbs up from the Game Viking.
I dig the self-awareness that you don't absorb from reading very well. Bangin' observation my man! How do you "write" you books? Do you actually write them, do you dictate them or do you tell a ghost writer who puts the words on paper? Curious how not reading affects you writing.
Another legit episode *****, awesome how you tied 2 of your main viewpoints into your answers. 1. Self Awareness - be self-aware enough to know how you learn best; i.e. don't waste time on reading if you're an auditory learner. 2. FB followers count = Depth vs. Width #AOTD: Last video game I played was the original Mortal Kombat in '92
I don't read, I "audio book it". And I love that most of your books have their audio book version ;) Thanks for the awesomeness Gary! Gary why don't you broadcast on periscope? That thing is getting big! #QOTD: Right now, very slowly, The Witcher 3. The Hustle is getting bigger so gaming time is getting smaller. But it is still a great inspiration for me, so I love it.
#QOTD I played whole week cause I'm about to move out of my city and work my ass of what I really enjoy but now I need my brain to restart. That's kind of creating demand for productivity. :) Works for me. Every 2-3 months I make myself so timewasting for a week. It's worth it. Thanks Gary. Keep it up Team!
Well said Gary! I feel TMI is when you absorb Nothin' !

I don´t play anything right now actually! Im too busy and seriously, i do not like playing videogames that much! And this was just an amazing episode man! Nailed it!
This may be my favorite episode so far!!!! You killed it Gary. - Question of the day - I don't play games by myself, but they are a great way to spend time with the family. Right now we are on a Super Mario World kick via the Super NES - >>Old school!
I came across this episode on LinkedIn and now I am totally obsessed with your videos, I am new to the business world and I find your crazy enthusiasm and way of thinking so infectious! really thankful for coming across your work. As for video games I used to play Tetris a few years back, does that count?
Love that you lost focus for a moment and asked India for context in the middle of answering the question at 5:12 about daily rituals to keep you focused. Thanks for keeping it real, Gary! :) #QOTD: I'm not playing a video game right now. I'm watching the #AskGaryVee Show!
I'll gladly take the right hook right on the chin for this one! Episode was sick! At the end I was like "go Gary! Fucking rights!" I ran up from my office sat my partner down and said watch this, and then watch it again! She watched it 4 times! Thanks brother
#QOTD (Thank you Stunwin! I wanted to sound facetious and pretend I wasn't playing games and working, but that'd be lying.) Super Smash Bros for 3DS during downtime. I feel like fighting games are low cost to invest time in. I get my fix, then I go back to working on me and mine.
special date for me ;) QotD: right, right now, nothing, I'm watching Gary. My video game leisure time is spent playing Pokemon Go - don't judge me, augmented reality and 90's nostalgia are a powerful combo. Shame Nintendo didn't really get in on the action though.
Lmaooo i'm sorry but that response was needed for the second to last question. There are so many people out here starving for success. You better show some gratitude for that success and go harder. #QOTD: I sold my Xbox in January 2014 to focus entirely on building the life that I want to live so I haven't played video games since then. I'll get back to playing video games when I have earned the right to play them.
QOTD answer: My youngest (tween) wants me to play more video games with him, he knows I'm still getting the hang of a the buttons and stuff on our XBox360 so we play The Lego Movie game and he's killin' it, and he gets a kick out of being better at something than me. My 17 yr old would love it if I played GTA5 with him, but I still suck at the controls too much to do much in that game, got hit by a train last time and got wedged under a bridge or something. It's worth some time so I have these experiences with my boys and a shared vocabulary.
KILLED IT with the House of Jerky question!! I actually felt like I'm learning something when I rolled my eyes hearing the question. #QOTD: Last video game I played was Pokemon Ruby version on my Android emulator.
QOTD: Currently ish....Max Payne 3 (played it months ago around my Birthday). Running my channel and growing my business have taken all of my typical gaming time. I'll plan a staycation soon enough so I rest up and game a little bit. Great show today!
Man, I kinda loved/hated this episode. I can't tell if the QOTD was meant to be ironic in an episode talking about focus. :) Gary I think you maybe need to mix some practitioner stuff in with the religion. It was quite possible that Mr Jerky was not complaining about success but instead looking for practical advice on how to have which followers are worth video response and how to judge on that. Or whether it's ok to get to everybody eventually, or what. I think it's fine to go into the anti-success-complaining rant but not without another more useful interpretation. Similar with the Facebook status question. I felt it was quite obvious the asker knew that numbers didn't matter but really just talking about someone ELSE's numbers (someone who is not Gary Vaynerchuk) and on tactics to deal with the question and inform someone who thought the numbers did matter! (and then you admittedly headed back in the dirt asking to raise podcast numbers) Loved the passion and humor and bit with stunwin, but man, this was a bit of a self indulgent ep in my view. All good though still appreciate it much. (I'm viewing steadily from ep 101 but working my way backwards too... Seen or listened between 45 or so and 117 so far) Bumblelion rules.
You Admit what most don't. There is a book called "How to read a book." Its Gold the intro is fantastic... and its avalible as an audio book. anyway most people who can read Dont. or dont read well...
That was one of your best shows yet Gary. I couldn't agree more with complaining in this world today. I mean how could anyone living in North America have anything to complain about? They have the ability to go out everyday and make something happen. That is how the school system (powers that be) by design say go to school and get a good job (I could go on and on here). I hope more people become empowered to go out and make positive stuff happen. Thanks!
Dear Gary, My name is Matthew Adams (Formerly "House Of Jerky"). It really breaks my heart that you missed it...again. I was asking for HELP!! I was NOT complaining...I needed a recommendation on HOW to handle all of the traffic. It was sudden and unexpected. I never had traffic like that and was caught off guard. I did not know HOW to handle all of the requests. Again...I was asking for help on HOW to handle the traffic (NOTE: I was beyond grateful for all of the traffic.) But...on a side note, I am no-longer associated with the company because of your words. Corporate was PISSED...at ME for getting the company involved with this. (But that is water under the bridge) You kinda did me a favor. I apologize for not stating my needs correctly...but I just wish you would have allowed me to explain (like you promised in a message) what I was asking. I am NOT angry at you anymore...just disappointed that you did not keep your word with me so that there was no misunderstanding. Love ya bro... Matthew Adams (Facebook @IAmMatthewAdams )
"if you're complaining about success, just shut it all down!"...classic. Crazy energy in this episode!
Manuel Hernandez One of my favorite episodes.
Manuel Hernandez yeah man, I herd this on the podcast and even I was like O.O. I like how the energy is so organic too, like he doesn't force it out. He just cares that much.

To focus on learning, Design, Coding, Photography, Video Production, Video Editing, User Experience, Biz Dev, Audio Production, How to Build and Repair Computers and Creative Writing... you know the skills that every single major brand is built on... the things that all of our favorite most important apps facilitate or deliver on... you know, those thing we consume more of than everything else...
Now I get to work for myself, built a community of over 40,000 creatives subscribed to and consuming me on UA-cam, write for industry publications, film conferences and I've recently started speaking at conferences and now have deals in place for E-courses with 3 of the major online education sites and a few of the smaller ones.
The level of arbitrage in our society, the value people give to OPTICS and leave on the table doing crap that doesn't give them value is INSANE. And I'm so glad that ***** keeps bringing this up.
I took so much crap for some many years for some of my choices, but very few people except some people that I know that are older family are friends, can dispute the results of those choices. Those who do are still being romantic and living in the past.
Amen Roberto!!
Roberto BlakeGreat comment thanks for Keeping it real Roberto Blake
***** 110%
Gary - finished the last of the 117 episodes today in just under 2 weeks. I turn 40 tomorrow and I am restarting my side business you inspired me to start a few years ago (Legacy State University - "legacy is greater than currency."). Hustling from 11pm - 2am every night now, thanks for reigniting that in me.
Just wanted to post so I'm not a lurker, but know that I'm here in the background, optimizing my most valuable asset to build something I can be proud of. THANK YOU.

I’m with you on the reading part. Living it is such a better way of learning it. Loved this link the best of 12! ♥️
One of the best parts about this show is the interaction he has with his cast and crew. The behind the scenes was great.
I love the concept of 'stats' and what people think one deserves, I get the statement a lot on our show, "you deserve more subscribers!!"
What does it mean to 'deserve' them? I have good quality content...? I know this. What matters to me are QUALITY subscribers, not QUANTITY. I can sell 13k worth of cocktail gear in a month with 63k subscribers--sure, I could probably sell more with 80k subscribers but not if they're all purchased fake users...then I just have a big number but nobody is home. Why own a city with no people in it? I want the people, not the zombies.
I've seen great successful businesses both online and offline with 300+ facebook followers. Why don't they have more? Maybe they're being too successful to go harass people to 'fan' them..I dunno.
Thank you so much for all the guidance. You're giving way more value than attending any classes out there at high costs. Thank you so much.
#QOTD I used to be a gamer, I used to be good at it, then the HUSTLE took over my life and I realized how much time I was leaving on the table.

Creating over Consuming.
Roberto Blake taking ***** advice and assessing yourself... prioritizing and killin' it... because of it.
love the show, the reason why I love the show, is it's so much more rewarding in many ways, then some older interviews, with people who really made it big

Came here after watching the 12 best moments of 2015. Though I saw this episode back in the days, it hit me even more now!
This episode was fucking fire. I LOVED that second last answer where Gary got pissed. So you know what Gary, I will leave you a review on iTunes. And you bet it'll be 5 big fucking stars!
Alex Sandalis I agree.
Alex Sandalis it was fukin epic, I love when ***** gets excited and pissed and starts dropping F & S bombs!!!
Information Technology Q & A Show OMG, like totally! I'm in third grade, and I say FUCK and SHIT all the time! Like Gary's the only person I've ever met on my level. It's fuckin' tight. SHIT!!!!! lol. Can't believe I just said that on the PUBLIC INTERNET! If my mom sees this, she's gonna kill me!
So what grade are you in???
I don't play video games, but my husband does... He is currently playing Fallout.
How many stars would I give you?
I would give you 5 stars because you are straightforward and honest with your truth. You're not selling yourself, you're saying this is what I see, this is how I got here and these are ways you could apply it to you. I would love to hear a little expansion into some of the more "creative" job areana's (photographers, makers, that sort). Otherwise, I am referring you to everyone I know including the nonprofit that I volunteer with.
Keep up the great work and know that you are appreciated.
I've watched every episode, and the answer ***** gives at 4:54 about his one ritual and perspective on life is the single most important message he's shared on the show. Great to see someone articulate that perspective so well.
Gary, your answer to the "routine" question was awesome. Love all your content. Please keep it comin bro.
I love what you said about keeping things in perspective and having an attitude of gratitude. This is truly the key to success. Thank you for a great show!
hands down. by far. favorite episode. I've shared this with so many people. happiness is addicting & complainers are going to complain. you have your health? Then you've got cap to complain about. this right here is hands down my favorite episode!!! keep it up!

Literally my FAVORITE EPISODE of all time, you'll know why G! So much depth and real value provided here, I hope the Vaynernation is listening. BRAVO to you G. and Steve, excellent exchange and real life examples on perspective.
QOTD: Not a gamer ... but when I do play, I want to play at an Arcade and give me nothing but Pacman and Galaxia!! Old school baby!!❤️
I agree with your opening comments about reading. Many people do not learn as much from reading as they do from listening and hands on action. It makes us nimble!
Bonnie Vent I'm with Gary. I struggle with reading certain books. Others I love. I give a mix of audio and paper based on how much time I have.
New Future Builder Yes, I think we are just wired to be more action oriented. I lack the patience to read about something. If I am interested in the subject I want to be doing it as quickly as possible. Gary is perfect for us!! Thx Gary!!

QOTD: I don't DO games, Steve... not real enough. I do LIFE!
"99% of things don't matter" Serious truth, there, Gary.
Don't sweat the petty shit!" (and don't pet the sweaty shit)
"bonkers-shit-usa" That pretty much sums it up, alright!
Getting to the point where I like Gary's response to the responses. Really awesome show! Always love how deep it gets.
I don't play games, I'm to busy for that. Great episode! You hit on nail with the last question. Perception be fooling a lot of ppl.
***** I think you are lying on the game part ;) but I agree with you GV kept it real on the last question.
Always hype when I get another episode!! This show gives me juice!
in episode 117 Gary has asked for a review - So, here it is:
Like a stiff shot of whisky, a cold shower, a run naked down the street of Banff in minus 14… this show will WAKE YOU UP!
I’ve been a garyvee fan for years - and to give him the right kind of review, it’s only fair to use a wine reference… HE’S GETTING BETTER WITH AGE.
Thanks for the effort for all this time Gary. People - watch if you like to be inspired!

This past week was the first phase of my programming internship and there was a lot of talk about gaming.
I realize now that what everyone loved so much was the ability to bond with others and share their gaming experiences. To go on virtual adventures with each other.
Bonding is so primal and necessary for us all.
I still say that I'd rather allocate my time to developing my career but I've made peace with why I love games so much.
wow..I think I've realized I'm the same way about reading and comprehending vs listening and seeing.
I'm so glad you found "that place" late in response to too much success. I literally sat at my desk staring with my mouth open the whole time you went off on that question. That reaction will be one of the best for this show in a while. It reminds me of "OUT OF BUSINESS" haha. Love love love it, Gary.
Steve Unwin ive quit my gaming.... ***** essentially guilted me out of gaming.... it was what I did that wasted time... it wasnt building relationships with friends... it wasnt market research for games id be developing (I am a software engineer) it was plain drink alone(gaming alone) straight up time wasting.......... he called me out on it and I quit. p.s. Stunner good to see you more on the show, again.
Chad Solberg :D he's got jets games, I've got my games ^_^
Ha!... so... what games are you playing, Sir Steve Unwin?
Chad Solberg Yep, I quit pre Gary and only rarely come out of gaming retirement. Mostly when insomnia strikes, because i can't work without a clear mind, so doing anything meaningful when I"m tired is a no-no.
That's funny. I quit Walking Dead and House of Cards because of Gary. RE: Chad and Roberto
well executed and MUCH NEEDED rant - the bottom line is: do you want to be in business or do you want to just go work for somebody?
One of the best episodes! Thanks Gary!!
I am only at 10:33 on the video but I would love to be apart of this. I would love for all this positivity and helping others be more in control as well. Love you gary you are truely an incredible guy!
I've been starting from the beginning and over the last month or so I've gotten to episode 117. The first half of this when you and Steve play ball is amazing... It's all about the religion and empowering others.. Thank you.. and looking forward to continuing this journey of catching all of your episodes and get started on DailyVee's ... Fun fact: This is my first comment on your show... I've tweeted.. grammed..snapped...but never thought it would be worth it to comment until I caught all the way up... Well guess what.. I was wrong... Thanks broham!
A) Bruh, you went on fire at the end.
B) I accidentally gave up video games when I got a piano a few years back, but in terms of leveling up and learning skills to advance, I think about them the same way. In that case, the video game I'm playing is Philip Glass's Piano Etudes. Haven't made it to the final boss.
QOTD - I am playing Pinochle, not much else. I play a free one on my phone and a free one on my fire.
I swear one of those Wuzzles winked at one point.
The wine rack is looking a little empty :)
I LOVED your answer about you not reading books; I've been looking for that answer for a while. Great job my dude!
This show was long but didn't feel like it. I guess that means it was pretty tremendous.
Thanks for the time brother.
Yours,
B.S.
#QOTD: I used to play video games. Then I started hustling.
Really, I play a bit of boom beach and clash of clans because I can literally spend 5 minutes on it to get my mind reset and then get back to business. I just don't have time to commit to something that is measured in 30 minute increments or more. Unless, my hustle was video game reviews and such, but it's not.
***** respect!
Steve Unwin That's the only non-cash denomination I doll out: respect.
And, well, candy corn during the holidays. But, usually, it's respect! :)
Much deserved podcast review coming soon! Thanks for the continued quality content, Gary. I love the passion behind your answer to House of Jerky.
117 was freakin tight! So much energy.
QOTD: I see what u did there Mr Unwin. Everyone watching the show will say "nothing, I hustle". And most of them LIE!
My games atm: HoTS, The Witcher 3 and just the other day tried Clash of Clans. Not sure about the last one yet, but it's atleast Finnish yay!
Great episode, the energy was unreal in this one.
I am a guy that likes Mountain biking (former store owner), I like cars and watches, like to talk to people. I am trapped in my family business (clinical laboratory) trying to take it to a next level. We hire a study to see if can sell it and the study shows that is not the time to sell but if we get our sales up a 10% in the next year we can triple our value to sell or continue to grow the business to leave a legacy to my sons and my family. My mom is the center of the business and it has been difficult for her to delegate and the business has been for years in a almost cero growth due to high rotation of personnel among other things. How I can take it to the next level using what I think is the future of business promotion marketing and sales....the social media. I like to get results with minimun effort in order to allocate strenght in areas that really needs it!!! Help Gary! Appreciate it...
Ive recently discovered Gary , been binge watching, really love the soul fire from this guy and need a lil magic to get to the next level for my company. You've got your self another true fan Gary. Two Thumbs up from the Game Viking.
That scaling part was amazing, reallty interesting
Damn Gary. That was an upper cut knock out. Honesty was real
I dig the self-awareness that you don't absorb from reading very well. Bangin' observation my man! How do you "write" you books? Do you actually write them, do you dictate them or do you tell a ghost writer who puts the words on paper? Curious how not reading affects you writing.
The "Selling Shit" part was epic at the end.
Another legit episode *****, awesome how you tied 2 of your main viewpoints into your answers.
1. Self Awareness - be self-aware enough to know how you learn best; i.e. don't waste time on reading if you're an auditory learner.
2. FB followers count = Depth vs. Width
#AOTD: Last video game I played was the original Mortal Kombat in '92
So epic!! So much perfection in this show. Drop tha mic!
Happiness is addicting. Keep perspective of what's really something to complain about. GLASS HALF FULL. ❤ this!
HAHAHA I love how you ended up receiving a bunch of Wuzzles after episode 113. Thanks for another great episode!
life changing episode here gary.
I don't read, I "audio book it". And I love that most of your books have their audio book version ;)
Thanks for the awesomeness Gary!
Gary why don't you broadcast on periscope? That thing is getting big!
#QOTD: Right now, very slowly, The Witcher 3. The Hustle is getting bigger so gaming time is getting smaller. But it is still a great inspiration for me, so I love it.
Best #askgaryvee show yet
#QOTD I played whole week cause I'm about to move out of my city and work my ass of what I really enjoy but now I need my brain to restart. That's kind of creating demand for productivity. :) Works for me. Every 2-3 months I make myself so timewasting for a week. It's worth it.
Thanks Gary. Keep it up Team!
Well said Gary! I feel TMI is when you absorb Nothin' !
I don´t play anything right now actually! Im too busy and seriously, i do not like playing videogames that much! And this was just an amazing episode man! Nailed it!
Gary, I loved your passion in this episode. #QOTD: I don't play video games.
Another awesome episode! Gary I loved the rant today! Honestly, I haven't played videos in forever. I just don't have the time.
This may be my favorite episode so far!!!! You killed it Gary. - Question of the day - I don't play games by myself, but they are a great way to spend time with the family. Right now we are on a Super Mario World kick via the Super NES - >>Old school!
I came across this episode on LinkedIn and now I am totally obsessed with your videos, I am new to the business world and I find your crazy enthusiasm and way of thinking so infectious! really thankful for coming across your work. As for video games I used to play Tetris a few years back, does that count?
Love that you lost focus for a moment and asked India for context in the middle of answering the question at 5:12 about daily rituals to keep you focused. Thanks for keeping it real, Gary! :)
#QOTD: I'm not playing a video game right now. I'm watching the #AskGaryVee Show!
@GaryVee really layed it down in this episode!
I'll gladly take the right hook right on the chin for this one! Episode was sick! At the end I was like "go Gary! Fucking rights!" I ran up from my office sat my partner down and said watch this, and then watch it again! She watched it 4 times! Thanks brother
Great episode, u killed it!
#QOTD (Thank you Stunwin! I wanted to sound facetious and pretend I wasn't playing games and working, but that'd be lying.) Super Smash Bros for 3DS during downtime. I feel like fighting games are low cost to invest time in. I get my fix, then I go back to working on me and mine.
special date for me ;)
QotD: right, right now, nothing, I'm watching Gary. My video game leisure time is spent playing Pokemon Go - don't judge me, augmented reality and 90's nostalgia are a powerful combo. Shame Nintendo didn't really get in on the action though.
Lmaooo i'm sorry but that response was needed for the second to last question. There are so many people out here starving for success. You better show some gratitude for that success and go harder. #QOTD: I sold my Xbox in January 2014 to focus entirely on building the life that I want to live so I haven't played video games since then. I'll get back to playing video games when I have earned the right to play them.
last rant was super powerful
Soooo much truth to 7:10
Power episode!!! Smashed the last two questions out the park... love it!!
QOTD: Nope, none.
Peter Drucker's book called "Managing Oneself" talks about this fact. You are either a reader or a listener and rarely people are both.
QOTD answer: My youngest (tween) wants me to play more video games with him, he knows I'm still getting the hang of a the buttons and stuff on our XBox360 so we play The Lego Movie game and he's killin' it, and he gets a kick out of being better at something than me. My 17 yr old would love it if I played GTA5 with him, but I still suck at the controls too much to do much in that game, got hit by a train last time and got wedged under a bridge or something. It's worth some time so I have these experiences with my boys and a shared vocabulary.
I am playing ZERO video games I stopped a few years back to focus on my "real life" that's the best way I can say it.
One of the best episodes!!
KILLED IT with the House of Jerky question!! I actually felt like I'm learning something when I rolled my eyes hearing the question.
#QOTD: Last video game I played was Pokemon Ruby version on my Android emulator.
Gary turns up today - great job :) #BTA2
QOTD: Currently ish....Max Payne 3 (played it months ago around my Birthday). Running my channel and growing my business have taken all of my typical gaming time. I'll plan a staycation soon enough so I rest up and game a little bit.
Great show today!
this episode is on fire!
excellent content and value thank you for sharing your journey and the truth.
We love you Gary!
really helpful episode...thanks for sharing
hahahahahaha possibly the best rant I've heard through these videos! Gary's statements about success are 100% truth
How do we leave a review? Do we need to download the iTunes app just to leave a review??
Interesting stuff. Watched the whole thing
Review posted my friend!
Man, I kinda loved/hated this episode.
I can't tell if the QOTD was meant to be ironic in an episode talking about focus. :)
Gary I think you maybe need to mix some practitioner stuff in with the religion. It was quite possible that Mr Jerky was not complaining about success but instead looking for practical advice on how to have which followers are worth video response and how to judge on that. Or whether it's ok to get to everybody eventually, or what.
I think it's fine to go into the anti-success-complaining rant but not without another more useful interpretation.
Similar with the Facebook status question. I felt it was quite obvious the asker knew that numbers didn't matter but really just talking about someone ELSE's numbers (someone who is not Gary Vaynerchuk) and on tactics to deal with the question and inform someone who thought the numbers did matter!
(and then you admittedly headed back in the dirt asking to raise podcast numbers)
Loved the passion and humor and bit with stunwin, but man, this was a bit of a self indulgent ep in my view. All good though still appreciate it much.
(I'm viewing steadily from ep 101 but working my way backwards too... Seen or listened between 45 or so and 117 so far)
Bumblelion rules.
.... episode 117 is getting oooooooooold....... are Steve Unwin and ***** playing.... video games?!
Someone needed to give Gary a mic to drop at the end of that one. He went for the jugular on the last two questions.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! And since we saw you on the loo, I guess a 5 star iTunes review will have to do.
You need NEW problems. You need to grow and create NEW problems. It is a wonderful thing!
Loved the Rant Today! LOL!
You Admit what most don't.
There is a book called
"How to read a book."
Its Gold the intro is fantastic...
and its avalible as an audio book.
anyway most people who can read Dont. or dont read well...
Steve Unwin waiting for the latest Deus Ex game, hoping to play the Witcher 3 when I get time! What games are you playing?
That was one of your best shows yet Gary. I couldn't agree more with complaining in this world today. I mean how could anyone living in North America have anything to complain about? They have the ability to go out everyday and make something happen. That is how the school system (powers that be) by design say go to school and get a good job (I could go on and on here). I hope more people become empowered to go out and make positive stuff happen. Thanks!
Best yet. "99% on things don't matter"
👏👏 loved this episode
Dear Gary, My name is Matthew Adams (Formerly "House Of Jerky"). It really breaks my heart that you missed it...again. I was asking for HELP!! I was NOT complaining...I needed a recommendation on HOW to handle all of the traffic. It was sudden and unexpected. I never had traffic like that and was caught off guard. I did not know HOW to handle all of the requests.
Again...I was asking for help on HOW to handle the traffic (NOTE: I was beyond grateful for all of the traffic.)
But...on a side note, I am no-longer associated with the company because of your words. Corporate was PISSED...at ME for getting the company involved with this. (But that is water under the bridge) You kinda did me a favor.
I apologize for not stating my needs correctly...but I just wish you would have allowed me to explain (like you promised in a message) what I was asking. I am NOT angry at you anymore...just disappointed that you did not keep your word with me so that there was no misunderstanding.
Love ya bro...
Matthew Adams (Facebook @IAmMatthewAdams )
That was a good Episode!
