Gary's energy was amazing this ep! #QOTD: I love the call in episodes. It's been great seeing the evolution of the shoooow and I think this keeps it fresh.
love the realness of this episode! things don't go smoothly, calls drop out, questions aren't clear or they're slow, but you keep it moving and never seem to let it affect the way you handle the next call - still a big smile and intro for the caller. think this is a great example of doing real life with real things in real situations. this is the 'dirt' and we should get comfortable with what this looks like and putting in work 'here'. thanks Gary.
Thanks so much Gary for answering my question and your thoughts on it! Gonna be able to crush the Video SEO guide now and doing my research on approaching the Presales! #QOTD Love the Call in Shoooooooow!!!!!
TSM Thanks. Yeah I've been working hard for a few weeks putting together the outline and information for this product and lately I've been asking friends how to approach the actual release/launch and so this was great insight from Gary.
YES! totally agree about authenticity. that's why snapchat is doing so well, because celebrities who are usually airbrushed begin to feel like actual friends! finished your new audiobook recently, btw. thanks for all you do, Gary!
love the live call in shows. it teaches us to be ahead of the curve and not be complacent. you are teaching us that you are a practitioner and how you adjust to the learning curve. also teaching how you lovingly challenge your team to be on their A game. Andy is crushing it. with all the pressure of live, he keeps upping his game! win win win
It' s absolutely refreshing to see a high profile entrepreneur like you admit such a huge thing about not celebrating stuff but thinking it should be done. Most people today are promoting 'how to be an influencer by being fake', hide your shortcomings so people think you're the most successful and perfect person on the planet and only then they buy from you. What you did was- a- Admit on a hugely public platform that you don't have a celebration habit. b- Having enough humility to say that although you don't do it, it should be done. c- Encouraged your viewers to be honest about the #hustle but also the #imperfections that come along with 24/7 work. It's about being kind of 'in the zone' when you are at the peak of your mission and you need to absolutely avoid all social occassions, its hard, its isolating but when your mission is your love and a piece of your heart, you do whatever it takes. Its hard to justify the hustle and the madness to those sipping margarita every Friday night. But there comes a point when you no longer care. :) I' m so glad you talked about it THIS way. It made total sense. Awesome show, as usual.
I like the fact that you don't just answer questions , but you give a helping hand also . And like the way you support your supporting cast ; love this Q&A !!!
Hi Gary, maybe I am alone a bit on this but I actually prefer the comments and video questions rather than the call in. Only because with the call in's you never know what kind of quality you are going to get both in the voice and content of the question.
QOTD. I enjoy the "struggles" of doing the show live. That is pure value. This gives me perspective to what all businesses goes thru to venture forward to new platforms. We all struggle with the learning curve of new tech. Its great to see Team Gary Vee is "real people" Thanks!
Hi Gary! I really liked the idea of calling in because it allows your followers the opportunity to connect with you and personally ask a question. But at the same time I also really liked how you responded to tweets previously because it gave the opportunity for those who can't get a call in to still get their questions answered. How about having two sections to the episode, one where you answer questions on the call and the other half you answer tweets. And of course as always thank you for always inspiring us!
I learned so much, and I also disagree with so much it keeps me constantly checking with myself why is this making me reactive? usually your comments push me from my comfort zone, and that is exactly what I need. I love how honest you are. big fan
Awesome, Gary - love the authenticity. Thanks for you show - bought the book! Would love to see you talk more about FB dark posts / ads. Would be super helpful. Thanks dude. -Clark
Ok, so I literally just started on Snapchat before this video and the first caller has the SAME EXACT QUESTION as I wanted to ask Gary!!! Thank you guys for this content, it's truly priceless!!
Hey Gary - learned a ton from you so far. My biggest takeaway is that if I listen to you before I go to sleep at night, I probably won't get to sleep anytime soon thereafter. Thanks and keep em coming, you're the man!
Gotta be honest, I wasn't really into the first call in show because I thought it was sort of scattered and a couple questions weren't great, but I LOVE your energy in these episodes, Gary! It makes me smile to hear how happy you are when you answer a call. I would love it if half the episodes were call-in shows and half were curated from tweets/insta/etc. :)
I like the "LIVE" format as a once in awhile thing. The team does a great job of finding really unique questions, & I love the video questions! I'd hate to see all of that go away. Keep being awesome, Gary & team!
Gary thanks so much! I have been a fan for a long time, but lately I've put even more emphasis, than normal on following you, because I am treating my company like a brand new startup. I am actually writing a business plan, just to put some real structure on where I am going from here. Here's a question - why blog on Medium vs my own blog? I am often hesitant to blog on other platforms, because I want the content all for myself on my own website. Of course I understand the exposure that a blog like medium will offer, but is that the ONLY reason for doing it?
hey Gary I really like the way the show runs with the non edited calls. It makes me feel like I'm more involved and present with your show as it seems more real life.
i absolutely love how you answer the phone, it cracked me up each time. i love the format, but i hate how SLOW it seems everyone else is talking.. i'm so used to your fast paced train of thought, that i get a form of road rage.. yelling at them to hurry up, speak faster, etc.
Gary, I continue to get value out of the show and I do like the flow of the call in aspect. Also, thanks for turning me onto Anchor. I have started to utilize the platform and I am pushing myself to engage with people as well as figure out the best cadence for me on the network.
I asked a question in a comment awhile back on a different video, and I got that question answered and more advice from watching this one. Keep up the good work G. Vee 👍
I think you're doing very well! I love the call in show! You're doing exactly what you preach which is being a practitioner and DOING it and finding out ways to make it EVEN better.
I like the show - I can use bits and pieces of advice you're giving your callers to advance my business start-up. I've taken some time off from entrepreneurship (4 previous start-ups) and am recharged to get into my next adventure. I'm a little behind the times on social media so I've got some catching up to do.
I love the call in version of the show! There are so many comments regarding the new version and the questions being repeated. A way around this would be to have topics for each call in show that the caller would have to fit their questions too. Therefore you can make sure topics that have not been covered frequently can be filmed and questions answered. Just my 2 cents! Have a memorable day! #bememorable #livememorably
Discovered you 2 1/2,weeks ago and working my way backwards through the shooow. Today I watched the show you work out through. The Tiger Beat shirt made me realize I just wasted 2 1/2 weeks...j/k. Great stuff...thank you
Man this episode felt Super FRESH, Gary was in high gear and I absorbed his energy through this vid. No matter the format if you 'bring it' everything falls to the waist side and the content punches you in the face
To be honest I enjoy the imperfections of the episode. You get the content and the behind-the-scenes, and really it's given me a better look at Gary and his team. I'm glad you guys weren't too good to make a mini-edit on the dead air at 25:22 though. Much small edit. Very ninja. Nice.
Long time listener/viewer, first time poster (yeah, I know, I KNOW!)... take a page from Dan Savage's playbook -- accept questions per usual (including hand picking the questions you want to answer, and have them leave a number that you can call them back, or even have aSkype video call. India can have callers ready to go when the show starts. It'll still be live, but much more efficient.
Gary is definitely one of the most original online/marketing personalities to come along in a long time.. and he doesn't spew B.S. its actually tangible advice! Thanks GV!
Nice! As always, great tips Gary. 1 Question though. I am building my site/Yt channel ("myname"). My plan is to get touch with other guys/agencies in my country (6mil people in my whole country only, so i want to establish myself as go to guy). My SKILLS: getting traffic, get people to pay attention, converting, sales, seo (local biz, rank & rent)... Need guys specify in: good developer, google adwords, fb ads, accountant, video shooter/editor. My executing plan will be: 1. Brand myself by giving value (i know i can overdeliver in that segment and get attention also from not IT crowd) 2. Getting clients (i have clients, but they are in US, but i want to set myself in my own country) 3. Get in touch with other guys to build an agency specify in online marketing (in my country there is lot opportunity here). Long question, but if you can get advice on that. Thanks man, keep grindin hard!
This is the future of the Ask Gary Vee show! Keep it up! I think this new format exemplifies everything that the show stands for and could be a great way to ride out of the 200's era.
Earliest I've been after you post one of these! Love the call in format and excited to see how it will continue to evolve. Thanks for continuing to give value this community!
You reckon facebook live is the new black?? Why not UA-cam live Gary? or why Live? Why is live streaming more valuable from a social networking perspective in comparison to good edited content?
+Jake Rich Gary talks about how Time is the most valuable commodity for people, and by far UA-cam videos are the most user-friendly way to consume video content. Not live streams (which require watching it on the broadcaster's schedule rather than the viewer's schedule), not Snapchat/Vine/Instagram where content is superficial and can't be easily saved for future reference, and not Facebook or Twitter where it just gets buried in an unfriendly feed full of noise. With UA-cam, I control what content hits my Subscriptions feed by only subscribing to people that I feel are worth my time and then I choose which videos I want to watch now, which I want to be reminded to Watch Later, and which I'll just ignore. I am in control and the interface, while not perfect, is much more user friendly for video consumption than any other social platform. There's some consumer data for you, Gary.
Cheers brother!! Thanks for the insight. We're a very picky content hungry generation... I guess in the end quality content will always rise above the myriad of video's available online
Gary! I totally agree on the live "unpolished" aspect of production you spoke of. It's great to get the real perspective. What I would do on a live show would be to pose a specific type of question that you're looking to field. I know this may not be easy but putting out there like "today we're talking about leveraging early stage startup work and waiting till you really NEED funding. OR. Call in now and ask your VC or Angel questions!... etc etc etc..." Cheers!
Sure calls are rough right now, but I like how this gets you closer to Q&A sessions after your speeches and it brings a lot of value to people. Keep it up, I'm so pumped for what this will look like after you figure out flow
+Gary Vaynerchuk 1. I think you should continue to do call-in/live shows as an additional format option for the show. Sure, the pace of the show is different but your energy and the versatility of your answers remains valid and valuable. Working out the kinks for a smooth process takes time and effort, and it's shortsighted to kill the idea before you've really given it a chance to succeed -- adding a live component to some of the shows is a great idea. I liked it. 2. Having watched the greater majority of your content, I think your answers here were anything but repetitive with previous content. And if the point of this show is the help people with specificity, a direct one-to-one response to business asks is the greatest way to have that impact. It's a worldwide qna, which is a great idea for those that haven't had a chance to see you on stage. 3. It's so easy to see how so many of your suggestions can scale across different businesses and in different industry's. As Tim Ferriss says, all of your content doesn't have to be for everyone, in fact it shouldn't be, you make different content for different sets and groups of people. 4. This show is a master's class in business problem solving, I continue to marvel at the ease with which you pivot concepts, ideas, executions, mindsets and industries. It inspires me to approach each new obstacle, with a new look and perspective, as an opportunity for success. It pushes me to consider alternate ways to solve the problems my company and our clients face. Thank you.
Thank you for bringing energy and newness #QOTD I think that there were some great adjustments from episode 200, so congrats. I love the fearlessness of trying new things even if they are not perfect at first, in episode 200, your stress level was quite notorious because you wanted to bring quality and value to us. I think that is so amazing and inspirational. I believe that the people that don't understand what it is like to innovate and put yourself out there are the ones that post negative comments. For the future, I really love the mix, the craziness and unpredictability. I think we should provide you with a platform to test out new ideas, instead of testing them out on paying clients. These tests are giving (at least me ;) ) great value just are your keynotes, awesome responses, the dailyvee, how you interact with others, your energy. It's all together an amazing nation led by you. Thanks again. :)
I'm excited about this format that uses calls because it seems like both the questions and answers are as current as they could possibly be. With the Twitter and IG questions who knows how long they've been marinating on the internet before Gary got to them
Gary this was a lot better!! And more importantly it was very well put together and the questions and answers were amazing!! Glad I am part of this community.
The callers take too long to get to point, because they are in awe of speaking to you. Love the show. You are a new discovery! I'm trying to watch all the past episodes.
Gary, I love you and I love the show. However this is the first one I haven't watched till the end. This new structure has too much down time. You said you wouldn't, but you should screen the questions; 75% of the questions you're answering have been answered several times before. You're providing value for the caller, but not for the rest of your audience. Much love. xoxo
Been watching you a lot lately to stay motivated and remind myself of where I could be if I don't stop hustling. Thanks for the insights! Love the shoes BTW!
Great energy as always and your answers are very insightful for coming off the cuff. If I had an operator like Gary my sales would go from $20,000,000 to $1,000,000,000! An amazing improvement from episode 200 which ironically enough was my inaugural introduction beyond the book I picked up on Tom Ferry's advise. I like to to think that we will be making quantum leaps together! #DoingBetterEveryDay!
The call-in idea seems nice for maybe one out of every five shows. I like the improvisational aspects of it, but I also like how the online format allows for curating questions that go well together. Also, building some sort of custom system for this might get rid of the glitches. Maybe ask your developers to take a look at Twilio call queues? www.twilio.com/docs/api/twiml/guides/queues
Oh My Frickin Lord!!! It's YOU!!! I've worked in the Hosp. biz for 25 years... the last 15 as a Somm. By night, I'm a DJ. I've watched hours of your wine videos, and loved every minute. You are absolutely my fav person in the wine biz and we've never met. I've had 6 bartenders at my house at a time watching your vids like some kind of drunken viewing party. So tonight, after watching 5 or 6 hours of videos on how to better market my DJ brand... look who I come across. I'm only 42 seconds in and I'm already disappointied that at no time am I gonna see the NY Jets spit bucket. Ok, Imma watch this vid now. By the way, if there is something you don't know how to do - and at a champion level - please leave a comment below in teh reply box. Lol.
The issue here really is flow. I like the concept but I think you could arrange callers before the show starts. Create a short list group that you give the number to. This will resolve the overload of calls and lack of flow. Gary doesn't need to know who they are or what their question is going to be, which means the "live" or "spontaneous" aspect (the best part) can still be maintained.
Like the call in show, Gary. I can understand that if you don't screen calls that you will probably get some of the same questions asked over again. But then again, someone may need to hear an answer for the second or third time to get value out of it. Repetition is the mother of skill.
Gary, I like your sweater - where did you get it? Also QOTD: Call in is good cuz they can follow up and that gives you a chance to go in even further/more specific w your answers - but all in all I say mix it up cuz it doesn't matter. Respect brother!
Just subscribed today. I've been reading the #askgaryvee book and loving it. Love the authenticity; I hadn't wondered about what shoes you're wearing, but now I'm gonna need updates all the time. Great advice about live streaming being unpolished. Looking forward to incorporating that into the content I'm creating for my business. Thanks Gary.
Much better. Like the idea of mini topics in between calls. Keeps the energy going and adds some variety, let's us dive into more of you Gary, the man, and not just Gary the business man. Kool shirt, very Tron
I'm sorry I'm so behind. Life has been crazy the last 6 weeks (my husband of 23 years passed away). I love the show, of course. I like how you're not afraid to experiment live. So often we overthink things to the point of paralysis.
holy smokes, this kept me hysterical laughing! And f'n content to send me off IMMEDIATELY. Ive been following THE V for a few years now, but recently went into the trenches for the past 4-6 months and now have come back to see even more that applies to several of my situations, especially my business of THE MUSIC. #bingeaskGaryVee
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I love all the mistakes, it's really really refreshing. Good to see laughing and joking, there is a place for this and I think it fits into your Brand. Down in the dirt, trying to make the clouds. LOVE it!
Good stuff Gary. You're stuffing my head with ideas, time to put them into play! I like that call in questions, it really stretches the conversations and allows you to drop several ideas in one show. Keep up the motivation! -Thomas The Tech
Gary's energy was amazing this ep!
#QOTD: I love the call in episodes. It's been great seeing the evolution of the shoooow and I think this keeps it fresh.
love the realness of this episode! things don't go smoothly, calls drop out, questions aren't clear or they're slow, but you keep it moving and never seem to let it affect the way you handle the next call - still a big smile and intro for the caller. think this is a great example of doing real life with real things in real situations. this is the 'dirt' and we should get comfortable with what this looks like and putting in work 'here'. thanks Gary.
Thanks so much Gary for answering my question and your thoughts on it! Gonna be able to crush the Video SEO guide now and doing my research on approaching the Presales!
#QOTD Love the Call in Shoooooooow!!!!!
+Roberto Blake That's so coool man :D
It's great that you got on the show man!
Good luck, Roberto!
TSM Thanks. Yeah I've been working hard for a few weeks putting together the outline and information for this product and lately I've been asking friends how to approach the actual release/launch and so this was great insight from Gary.
Daniel Guerra Thanks so much!
I'm used to your pace of talking and when people call it's like they're all sleepy or talking in slow motion :D
Totally . I think at beginning of show callers should be prompted to make sure questions are ready. Like it, but improving flow would help.
YES! totally agree about authenticity. that's why snapchat is doing so well, because celebrities who are usually airbrushed begin to feel like actual friends! finished your new audiobook recently, btw. thanks for all you do, Gary!
love the live call in shows. it teaches us to be ahead of the curve and not be complacent. you are teaching us that you are a practitioner and how you adjust to the learning curve. also teaching how you lovingly challenge your team to be on their A game.

So far I think the call in show is a superior way of answering questions, because we can get or the other persons side of things.
Hi Gary, maybe I am alone a bit on this but I actually prefer the comments and video questions rather than the call in. Only because with the call in's you never know what kind of quality you are going to get both in the voice and content of the question.
+Aiyshah Gwilliam I agree.

Awesome, Gary - love the authenticity. Thanks for you show - bought the book! Would love to see you talk more about FB dark posts / ads. Would be super helpful. Thanks dude. -Clark
Call ins are nice because I feel like a lot of people have similar questions and everything discussed is practical. love it
Ok, so I literally just started on Snapchat before this video and the first caller has the SAME EXACT QUESTION as I wanted to ask Gary!!! Thank you guys for this content, it's truly priceless!!
His energy is so contagious even through video!
Hey Gary - learned a ton from you so far. My biggest takeaway is that if I listen to you before I go to sleep at night, I probably won't get to sleep anytime soon thereafter. Thanks and keep em coming, you're the man!
This show was awesome. I was waiting on an episode that touched on music promotion and specifically an album release. THE CALL IN SHOWS ARE FUN!
This is sooooo fun to watch you guys live in action. The real deal. Loving it!
Gotta be honest, I wasn't really into the first call in show because I thought it was sort of scattered and a couple questions weren't great, but I LOVE your energy in these episodes, Gary! It makes me smile to hear how happy you are when you answer a call. I would love it if half the episodes were call-in shows and half were curated from tweets/insta/etc. :)

Gary, your gratitude and appreciation IS your way of celebrating.
Much better! I like the pace and will love it when pace stays fast throughout.
i absolutely love how you answer the phone, it cracked me up each time. i love the format, but i hate how SLOW it seems everyone else is talking.. i'm so used to your fast paced train of thought, that i get a form of road rage.. yelling at them to hurry up, speak faster, etc.

Really lovin' the call in format. Nothing more real than trying to figure things out and making it happen.
I asked a question in a comment awhile back on a different video, and I got that question answered and more advice from watching this one. Keep up the good work G. Vee 👍
I think you're doing very well! I love the call in show! You're doing exactly what you preach which is being a practitioner and DOING it and finding out ways to make it EVEN better.
I like the show - I can use bits and pieces of advice you're giving your callers to advance my business start-up. I've taken some time off from entrepreneurship (4 previous start-ups) and am recharged to get into my next adventure. I'm a little behind the times on social media so I've got some catching up to do.
first time watching this type of series and I already see one thing Gary. You're very anxious to answer but don't cut the people off, let them speak.
You should watch the other 201 episodes...
+Gary Vaynerchuk Got it....
+SNYCE trust me I am
Gary Vaynerchuk it's how your brain works... and it's a great skill 👌🏻
Totally agree smh
The dynamics in this were so cool to watch. Gary really takes control when things are going wrong. It's like nothing even went wrong with the call in.
I love the call in version of the show! There are so many comments regarding the new version and the questions being repeated.
A way around this would be to have topics for each call in show that the caller would have to fit their questions too. Therefore you can make sure topics that have not been covered frequently can be filmed and questions answered. Just my 2 cents!

India can have callers ready to go when the show starts. It'll still be live, but much more efficient.
That IT guy from San Diego should just brand himself as “the it guy”
I like how spontaneous the call in show is. Keep up the good work.
Gary is definitely one of the most original online/marketing personalities to come along in a long time.. and he doesn't spew B.S. its actually tangible advice! Thanks GV!
Loved the live call ins and spontaneity of the show.
Nice!
As always, great tips Gary.
1 Question though. I am building my site/Yt channel ("myname"). My plan is to get touch with other guys/agencies in my country (6mil people in my whole country only, so i want to establish myself as go to guy).
My SKILLS: getting traffic, get people to pay attention, converting, sales, seo (local biz, rank & rent)...
Need guys specify in: good developer, google adwords, fb ads, accountant, video shooter/editor.
My executing plan will be: 1. Brand myself by giving value (i know i can overdeliver in that segment and get attention also from not IT crowd)
2. Getting clients (i have clients, but they are in US, but i want to set myself in my own country)
3. Get in touch with other guys to build an agency specify in online marketing (in my country there is lot opportunity here).
Long question, but if you can get advice on that.
Thanks man, keep grindin hard!
I love the calling aspect of the shoooooow. Once again, garyvee at his best.
Thanks again Gary for the advice you gave me when I called in. I was doing it all wrong until now.
This is the future of the Ask Gary Vee show! Keep it up! I think this new format exemplifies everything that the show stands for and could be a great way to ride out of the 200's era.
Earliest I've been after you post one of these! Love the call in format and excited to see how it will continue to evolve. Thanks for continuing to give value this community!
This show was not only FIRE, but intense and at points I LOL by myself in my office...Truth, no shame. Hustle hard, Crush it!!
One of the best shows in awhile. Tons of value. Thanks Gary!
Loved it! Best thing ever with taking calls.
"The RAW can be just as good as the GLOSSY." You just keep 'em comin. #lovintheV
I loved the show!!!! Getting better each time! I really needed to hear your answers to those questions. Thanks Gary V & team!
Changing lives indeed! Love you Gary!
Loving this new call in format!
Love the live call-in show format! Can't wait to see it happen more in the future.

Cheers brother!! Thanks for the insight. We're a very picky content hungry generation... I guess in the end quality content will always rise above the myriad of video's available online
totally agree with Mechanic!
Gary! I totally agree on the live "unpolished" aspect of production you spoke of. It's great to get the real perspective. What I would do on a live show would be to pose a specific type of question that you're looking to field. I know this may not be easy but putting out there like "today we're talking about leveraging early stage startup work and waiting till you really NEED funding. OR. Call in now and ask your VC or Angel questions!... etc etc etc..." Cheers!
"The raw can be just as good as the flossy." Insightful.
Awesome, The Live call in format is really good, love the rawness, rather than edits and having calls screened.
The most high energy dude of all time! Love it
I'm loving the new phone calls kool new interactive way to get questions answered
LOVE!!!! the call in format!!!!! Gary, So much more detail and relevance when you can actually have those one on one conversations!
Killing it gary I think your best way to build a live audience is this show you will be fielding our call soon
Loved the Shoooooooooow. I really enjoy the call in format, I think it makes it more personal and RAW!!!
Sure calls are rough right now, but I like how this gets you closer to Q&A sessions after your speeches and it brings a lot of value to people.
Keep it up, I'm so pumped for what this will look like after you figure out flow
+Gary Vaynerchuk 1. I think you should continue to do call-in/live shows as an additional format option for the show. Sure, the pace of the show is different but your energy and the versatility of your answers remains valid and valuable. Working out the kinks for a smooth process takes time and effort, and it's shortsighted to kill the idea before you've really given it a chance to succeed -- adding a live component to some of the shows is a great idea. I liked it.
2. Having watched the greater majority of your content, I think your answers here were anything but repetitive with previous content. And if the point of this show is the help people with specificity, a direct one-to-one response to business asks is the greatest way to have that impact. It's a worldwide qna, which is a great idea for those that haven't had a chance to see you on stage.
3. It's so easy to see how so many of your suggestions can scale across different businesses and in different industry's. As Tim Ferriss says, all of your content doesn't have to be for everyone, in fact it shouldn't be, you make different content for different sets and groups of people.
4. This show is a master's class in business problem solving, I continue to marvel at the ease with which you pivot concepts, ideas, executions, mindsets and industries. It inspires me to approach each new obstacle, with a new look and perspective, as an opportunity for success. It pushes me to consider alternate ways to solve the problems my company and our clients face. Thank you.
Thank you for bringing energy and newness #QOTD I think that there were some great adjustments from episode 200, so congrats. I love the fearlessness of trying new things even if they are not perfect at first, in episode 200, your stress level was quite notorious because you wanted to bring quality and value to us. I think that is so amazing and inspirational. I believe that the people that don't understand what it is like to innovate and put yourself out there are the ones that post negative comments.
For the future, I really love the mix, the craziness and unpredictability. I think we should provide you with a platform to test out new ideas, instead of testing them out on paying clients. These tests are giving (at least me ;) ) great value just are your keynotes, awesome responses, the dailyvee, how you interact with others, your energy. It's all together an amazing nation led by you. Thanks again. :)
Wow!! Every time I watch, my brain just starts going wild!!!! Thinking of so many different things now. Can’t wait to meet you at your book signing
I'm excited about this format that uses calls because it seems like both the questions and answers are as current as they could possibly be. With the Twitter and IG questions who knows how long they've been marinating on the internet before Gary got to them
Liked the change of pace but also like the the episode that have a theme where all the questions seem to go together.
"You keep asking questions... Especially if you call." Lol classic.
I like the added personality of the imperfections of the video.
Gary this was a lot better!! And more importantly it was very well put together and the questions and answers were amazing!! Glad I am part of this community.
The callers take too long to get to point, because they are in awe of speaking to you. Love the show. You are a new discovery! I'm trying to watch all the past episodes.
Gary, I love you and I love the show.
However this is the first one I haven't watched till the end.
This new structure has too much down time. You said you wouldn't, but you should screen the questions; 75% of the questions you're answering have been answered several times before. You're providing value for the caller, but not for the rest of your audience.
Much love. xoxo
Queuing up the calls would probably make it run smoother too. -Ryan from Nerdarchy
+Taylor Beaumont-Whiteley Different strokes for different folks. I thought it one of the best. Very engaging and relevant.
TOTALLY AGREE.
+Taylor Beaumont-Whiteley I stopped but came back on the next day. I agree the starting fussing about got me out of the zone.
+Taylor Beaumont-Whiteley I agree. I rather see the question written on the screen and then listen Gary answer ...
Gary + team - great call on the call-in format, and huge improvements on the flow of it. Can't wait to see more.
Been watching you a lot lately to stay motivated and remind myself of where I could be if I don't stop hustling. Thanks for the insights! Love the shoes BTW!
Great energy as always and your answers are very insightful for coming off the cuff. If I had an operator like Gary my sales would go from $20,000,000 to $1,000,000,000! An amazing improvement from episode 200 which ironically enough was my inaugural introduction beyond the book I picked up on Tom Ferry's advise. I like to to think that we will be making quantum leaps together! #DoingBetterEveryDay!
The call-in idea seems nice for maybe one out of every five shows. I like the improvisational aspects of it, but I also like how the online format allows for curating questions that go well together.
Also, building some sort of custom system for this might get rid of the glitches. Maybe ask your developers to take a look at Twilio call queues?

Oh My Frickin Lord!!! It's YOU!!! I've worked in the Hosp. biz for 25 years... the last 15 as a Somm. By night, I'm a DJ. I've watched hours of your wine videos, and loved every minute. You are absolutely my fav person in the wine biz and we've never met. I've had 6 bartenders at my house at a time watching your vids like some kind of drunken viewing party. So tonight, after watching 5 or 6 hours of videos on how to better market my DJ brand... look who I come across. I'm only 42 seconds in and I'm already disappointied that at no time am I gonna see the NY Jets spit bucket. Ok, Imma watch this vid now. By the way, if there is something you don't know how to do - and at a champion level - please leave a comment below in teh reply box. Lol.
Also, where do you record from? I need to come by with a bottle of something red and we can complain about the state of music commerce.
Just wanna say Gary - Love your show!!!
+Wengie love your channel!
Wengie ☀️🤙🏾

The issue here really is flow. I like the concept but I think you could arrange callers before the show starts. Create a short list group that you give the number to. This will resolve the overload of calls and lack of flow. Gary doesn't need to know who they are or what their question is going to be, which means the "live" or "spontaneous" aspect (the best part) can still be maintained.
Like the call in show, Gary. I can understand that if you don't screen calls that you will probably get some of the same questions asked over again. But then again, someone may need to hear an answer for the second or third time to get value out of it. Repetition is the mother of skill.
Seemed like a big improvement on the last call in show! A lot less back and forth. The show flowed a lot better. Nice work.
Love the call-in format!! Your at your best when you are just spit balling and improvising!! You're the man Gary!! Shoooooooow
Gary, I like your sweater - where did you get it? Also QOTD: Call in is good cuz they can follow up and that gives you a chance to go in even further/more specific w your answers - but all in all I say mix it up cuz it doesn't matter. Respect brother!
Just subscribed today. I've been reading the #askgaryvee book and loving it. Love the authenticity; I hadn't wondered about what shoes you're wearing, but now I'm gonna need updates all the time. Great advice about live streaming being unpolished. Looking forward to incorporating that into the content I'm creating for my business. Thanks Gary.
I keep trying to get in touch Gary. Please what is the best way into making that happen. Real talk no CAP 🙏
Much better. Like the idea of mini topics in between calls. Keeps the energy going and adds some variety, let's us dive into more of you Gary, the man, and not just Gary the business man. Kool shirt, very Tron
I'm sorry I'm so behind. Life has been crazy the last 6 weeks (my husband of 23 years passed away). I love the show, of course. I like how you're not afraid to experiment live. So often we overthink things to the point of paralysis.
loved the music marketing part!
the call-in version of the show is awesome... Maybe you should mix it in with questions from Twitter and Instagram too
Tried to call in earlier but it was super busy. Great episode guys!
GARY, I just logged in, to engage - FIRST time!!
I love this format of the #AskGaryVee Show.
Because: AUTHENTICITY
holy smokes, this kept me hysterical laughing! And f'n content to send me off IMMEDIATELY. Ive been following THE V for a few years now, but recently went into the trenches for the past 4-6 months and now have come back to see even more that applies to several of my situations, especially my business of THE MUSIC. #bingeaskGaryVee
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I love all the mistakes, it's really really refreshing. Good to see laughing and joking, there is a place for this and I think it fits into your Brand. Down in the dirt, trying to make the clouds. LOVE it!
Good stuff Gary. You're stuffing my head with ideas, time to put them into play! I like that call in questions, it really stretches the conversations and allows you to drop several ideas in one show. Keep up the motivation! -Thomas The Tech
Good shit. Just joined the Vaynernation. I'm binge watching episodes and love the call in live even with the screw ups. Makes it better.
Great Episode Gary... I luv the LIVE flow of the format...
