# Answering your business questions LIVE! | Tea with GaryVee Episode 70!

> Source: [Answering your business questions LIVE! | Tea with GaryVee Episode 70!](https://youtube.com/watch?v=n2tVwED6TNI)

## Summary

Gary Vaynerchuk hosts a live Q&A session on Whatnot, blending business advice with live commerce entertainment, known as 'commerce-tainment'. He answers questions on job hunting, content creation, local marketing, and the balance between optimism and delusion, while also selling merchandise and giving away products.

### Key Points

- **Job hunting intensity** [05:48] — For recent graduates desperate for jobs, apply to 30-80 jobs per day, not just a few. Develop skills simultaneously.
- **Local podcast growth tactics** [08:44] — Text everyone in your phone who lives locally, post on Facebook, and run $100 ads targeting a 10-20 mile radius to gain local listeners.
- **B2B marketing via guest interviews** [10:45] — Instead of getting internal executives on a podcast, interview potential clients to warm leads and build relationships.
- **Commerce-tainment for service businesses** [14:11] — For a physical therapy business, create merchandise like hats and use live shopping as 'commerce-tainment' to build awareness while selling products.
- **Leveraging a viral moment** [16:16] — When you go semi-viral, focus on how you created the opportunity (storytelling skills) rather than the opportunity itself. Create a deck or video showing your process.
- **Perspective on business struggles** [22:09] — Business has ups and downs; don't confuse temporary adversity with clinical depression. Life is hard, but perspective and gratitude help.
- **Corporate vs. nonprofit dilemma** [28:02] — If you're passionate about a nonprofit but see red flags, don't quit your corporate job. Instead, volunteer or join a board part-time to test the waters.
- **Optimism vs. delusion** [35:52] — The difference is humility and self-awareness. Ask five positive, practical friends for feedback to stay grounded.
- **Starting a business as a chiropractic student** [38:06] — Begin social media now by documenting your journey to graduation; adjust ads with creative that attracts high-value patients, not just any leads.
- **Future of influencers** [45:57] — Influencer careers will grow because everyone will become famous to at least 15 people (long-tail fame). It's not saturated.
- **Live shopping for services** [47:08] — For high-end photographers, selling physical items like prints or equipment on live shopping can generate awareness and sales for services.
- **If content isn't working** [50:49] — Don't blame the algorithm; your content is boring. Accept that you suck, then improve by studying what works and caring about the audience.
- **Weaponizing mental health** [52:33] — Some people use mental health as an excuse for laziness and entitlement, making it harder for those with genuine issues to be taken seriously.

### Conclusion

Gary Vaynerchuk delivers blunt, motivational advice on entrepreneurship, marketing, and personal accountability, while demonstrating the power of live commerce-tainment. The key takeaway: stop making excuses, work harder, and use humility to stay optimistic.

like Gary I appli to you know I'm so desperate for a job I'm just laying around I'm like how many jobs do you well like six I'm like six what six different jobs I've done a lot I think people have lost their
way in understanding what a lot is I mean you can go to job you can go to like literally you know Craigslist and find people that need you for the day to like move some hay in their Barn like I don't know yes and get skills so like I

what's your name I'm Jamie Jamie Johnson Jamie Johnson where you from I'm from South Georgia uh feels like it my man how are be on with you it's cool to be on with you pleasure um my question my question
southern executive experience for my family's business trying to grow interview business people in my area and um just you know I'm having my biggest question is how do I get my podcast to
go locally I've got I've had some good guest I just can't seem to get it any any views any local views yeah local view s you know I'm six I'm six episodes posted I got another six already in the queue um but so I'm I'm really early I
know I'm early but I'm just like my wife doesn't even see my content so I just want know what's going on couple things one the first thing you should do is every person in your phone that lives locally all of them you literally start
with Aaron Anderson and you end with Zachary zakosky and you lay down at night for an hour every night two hours three hours if you want this brother if
you [ __ ] want this you lay down and you go through and you ping somebody you you know is still in town hey Sarah it's don't know if this is important to you or not but it mean a lot to me if you
listen to the first couple minutes right and so you first you do Ground Battle next you post your podcast on Facebook okay and then you run ads for
$100 for people that live within a 10 milei radius of your home okay I've heard yep yep done that's the the ads and how much are you spending on the ads and how how what are you doing
I've done about two I'm doing two uh $200 I guess um on YouTube right now no not YouTube I didn't say YouTube hold on one second Vinnie wins Vinnie Vante wins one second Vinnie wins Vinnie Vante wins it let's go Vinnie no louder everyone
louder Vinnie with a huge win big shout out to Vinnie all right Vinnie this is this is your first show Rip's try to see if you catch it brother I didn't say YouTube that's right yeah faceb Facebook because Facebook targeting ads are real
tight you can Target by what town do you live in specifically I live on St state but I cover the whole state of Georgia is my territory well you can literally literally run ads that are very very specific to I would say go
start with closer Georgia's a big state state start with 10 20 mile you can state start with 10 20 mile you can Target by mile radius Facebook ads not Instagram but can be mixed but but I love Facebook proper and I love it for
your audience and that's what you need to be doing gotcha gotcha well one rather quick question I I'm in a B2B business local uh family Ram business my biggest problem right now is finding the experts in my company to come help me
on camera they're all scared to do these things we're very successful my father's take it to the next level trying to get it more online are you their boss I am not I'm their boss's son um I am you know what I mean I my I run my territory
very similar um I've worked for my dad most of my life and um he's just the past seven months he's just allowed me to start making content for the company so I'm just earned that right are you are you have you had your dad on yes he
was on my first podcast it was awesome it was great have you asked your dad to encourage the executives to be on he has just old school techn old school mentality just not want to be on camera
I think um who who do you want as customers um we are in the uh office equipment um it space So we're mainly looking for inde uh it directors and uh different we sell cop printer scanners
that that's who you should be asking to get on the show not your Executives but potential clients of your business to talk about their business okay you see
where I'm going brother cuz if you email somebody and say Hey I want you to buy copers fax machines whatever the [ __ ] you sell right and that's that's hardcore selling you reach out to them and say hey I have this the southern

question I recently kind of went like semi viral about an experience almost meeting Steph Curry at the NBA game at the Warriors game and so like I have nothing but good intentions even though like we couldn't meet because of media
like we couldn't meet because of media and stuff but how can I leverage the and stuff but how can I leverage the opportunity without like compromising my Integrity like I'm not trying to get anything crazy out of it but I also
don't want to waste the opportunity well the opportunity is a silly one though need to learn from how you created the opportunity more than the opportunity itself my guy like what are you going to do pretty much based on my storytelling
that so become a full-pledged Storyteller meaning this I'm so happy you're under bro I'm so proud of you the way that you just responded to me you get it you're not going to get any re
opportunity sell t-shirts to say I almost met Steph C like you know what I mean no no no no what what you're what you're you're you're thinking the right thought the right way you're thinking the right way you need to use you need
to make a deck or a full-pledged video or a presentation of how you story told and why it worked and why you can do that for other people or other brands if you want to go that route or if you want to build personal brand keep doing it
come up with the next thing come up with the next story ically my content beforehand was like showing on my Steph Curry cards um I've even sent cards to like like young kids who asked me for cards and I gave out some cards at the
Warriors game I kind of did like I did Steph gr content anyways and then like his team saw it uh but it it didn't it didn't really go like we thought like it it was a crazy story but uh well what did you what talk me through it what did
you think okay so so I was told by his bodyguard to stay after the game I did and he's like okay and I had my rookie card like my tops 09 one two3 rookie card like my tops 09 one two3 rookie card and uh or 321 and so he's like I'm
me you know I'm gonna try to get steps to come back out of the locker room and unfortunately I just like ran out of time and I was like I had to leave the arena so uh I mean I've been in contact with him and it's it's less about like
fulfilling that it's more like how can I use this for good like there's a lot of kids out there who would love a Steph Cur card I got like 200 extras let's go backwards my guy I want to navigate it like guy got it let's take a step back
what would you like to happen like real talk real talk what would you like to happen selfishly forget about selflessly the kids the this selfishly yeah what the [ __ ] are you trying to accomplish for you which
allowed I mean best case scenario like to fulfill meeting him but well good I mean just keep going at it then if that's the number one just keep like Steph is a good dude and he probably want and he'll he probably wants to meet
the end I mean I'm from Dallas and they were just in Dallas last night and I was going to go the only reason I didn't is I didn't want to be a pester like oh like dude we said we try and you're here
that guy well that's very sweet then that's fine yeah okay well maybe I'll come to New York and we can go to a Nick game against I think it's like March 4th right I'm actually away I know I wanted
go to that game I'm actually not here I'm away um but my man listen to me listen to me like I want you to focus on the storytelling part yeah see a lot of people told me I
was I was dragging and that I talked too much but like it also got like half a million views so I don't know it's kind of funny just keep playing you understand yeah say well Aon what do you got appreciate it wish you well all

life for the death of the people you love other than that it's adversity it's a it's a stubbing your toe not dying we what's going to happen you're going to have a little less money fine you can't have as much [ __ ] you
really [ __ ] up you might have to sell your home or you might have to rent a cheaper AP apartment you know like I don't
like I feel like there's a better way I feel like people are in bad mindsets perspective oh we have a winner we have a winner bam collector Charlie with a huge sock
win that's not enough clapping let's go Charlie nice little win there we got sah sarah sarah sarah sarah what's good hey Gary how are you good
how are you doing good where you from I am currently in Westchester New York but I grew up in New Jersey going to your family's liquor store so finding some great parties thank you thank you where' you where were you in
yours in Union and then Berkeley Heights right there right there I love it right there what's good what can I answer for you I I was wondering I'm trying to figure out if I should stay in a really safe corporate job or I've been
interviewing at a nonprofit that I'm really passionate about but it has a ton of red flags so six months ago I was ready to jump now I am like maybe the timing's not so good yeah I mean look I think you should go with your intuition
there's red flags go interview with a different just are you just desperately trying to get out of your job or no no my job's safe it's good it's got a lot of great perks but your heart your
heart your heart is really taking you towards a nonprofit absolutely but I have tons of Life responsibilities so it's that balance what about what about joining a nonprofit board or donating some of your
evening times to nonprofits at first if you want to scratch that alteristic itch admire so much I love that idea it's been really hard to find a board but I think that would be a great plan yeah I mean I
I mean there's a lot of small Charities out there yeah you know what I mean like a board like it's not going to come to you it's going to be you with a glass of wine at 10 p.m. you know emailing like where I apologize One More Time Virginia
did you say where where are you Westchester New York Westchester excuse me I mean [ __ ] even easier there's [ __ ] a drillion of them in Manhattan Westchester Long Island Upstate New York I think you literally search charity in
the area and you just send emails and be like look my heart's in a place of giving and I'd love to Jo be a volunteer or join a board you know that happened to me like I'm busy I got responsibilities I got Ambitions but I
find time to to do work for charity water and pencils of promise and other organizations and I think you can do that so make it more of a side hustle I mean you know because you're talking out of multiple sides right like like you
nonprofit cuz you can smell it I know you know multiple red flags is not a good way to think about things and then and then when you went to I've got what's going to happen you're going to join a nonprofit and then a year in
pressure and you're going to be upset again instead instead I'm sure you have a busy life but you still can find a couple hours a month a couple hour an hour a week or whatever it is to volunteer or join a board or an Advisory
Board to a nonprofit and start you know I think I think people think all or nothing too much for a lot of us that are like I want to do this I want to do that like when you want to do something sometimes the way to do that is to start
small everybody's become so absolute like I got to quit my job and join a nonprofit no no no you can volunteer or join a board for a little while you see where I'm going yeah I do that makes sense makes sense right by the way what
that also does only one hat left rips you know what El that does is it allows don't like it let me tell you what I found out about nonprofits there's a lot of [ __ ] in them not the two I mentioned because
nonprofits are just doing [ __ ] to be socially cool not for the right reasons and the money doesn't even go to the [ __ ] nonprofit there's a lot of [ __ ] out there is there a good way to figure out
good I actually trust you because you went through a process where see red flags and you didn't jump I think what you need to do is go kiss six frogs prince mhm thank you you're welcome love it

on the screen Oh Aaron and then somebody on the screen sure I have a question from Sophia hold on hold on before you get to Sophia if you missed out on the new year new year $15 pack put missed out and then put X1 if you were going to
three I need rips to read the comments put up before the end of the show say missed out X1 missed out X3 let me know all right um Sophia asks what's the difference between optimism and denial
and denial I'm not even sure I understand how to like denial what do you mean denial maybe delusion maybe delusion uh s did you Sophia you said sop Sophia were you actually thinking about
delusion instead of denial which would make a lot more going to answer the delusion because I don't know what the you know um it's a very fine line This is why it's so interesting to me optimis this is why
people don't like optimism they in their brain they think it means delusion right Beyonce and everyone's like the [ __ ] are you talking about rips you're not going to be Beyonce rips you can't sing right so like I think
you can't sing right so like I think that people I think people you self-awareness one of my favorite vends self- aware hair an optimistic otter I have a lot of
tell about self aware hair and optimistic otter because there is a delusional element you know I I think think I think being realistic and and I think the missing ingredient when it comes to delusion versus optimism the
missing ingredient is the humbled Hedgehog humble Hedgehog the answer to your question Aaron and Sophia's is humility if one lacks humility and self-awareness they become delusional if they have humility and self-awareness it
becomes optimism and that is a very fine line listening and you're confused one of the ways that you can really figure this out is to find your most positive friends and ask them to respond not your cynical
says brow wow not [ __ ] Debbie downside or whatever you know what was her name again Debbie Downer you know I don't need Debbie Downer you need to find your five most practical positive friends and ask them what they think
0 for five from them now you're delusional you know and so those are the things I would do right who's next get me hear somebody on
Patrick how's it going good brother how are you good um so I had a question I'm a chiropractic student and I graduate in November I'm going to start my own business okay um I want to start my social now smart I can't do any
adjusting type videos because I can't adjust until I graduate but I can do also do you could also do people getting to know you and you could like make the whole series about the road to adjusting
you could like tell people that you see where I'm going like we could all follow your journey until you actually can adjust and by the time you can adjust many of us will want you to adjust us cuz we followed your journey and we know
not allowed to adjust right I've also thought about you what about what about fascia and what about
stretching yeah that too all that okay keep going um but I was thinking about using using AI to make an AI version of myself to then post content doing that I don't know if that would be not a great thing to do just do it myself my thought
was I could save a lot of time you yeah you could do that but it's going like being able to type out what I needed to say yeah but bro you it's going to cost you real money to make an ual AI person that's money right
now do you know how much it like to make a really good AI like per like that one that's going to be video not just image is that what you're saying well yeah I was kind of thinking
like setting hold on second where I'm it's just kind of sitting there but hey doesn't stop spanning we're going to have to pause him for a second man I see you bro I'm not opening it can we please block if he keeps going man chill uh
what were you saying brother I was thinking about setting it is just kind of there it's not really moving around but it's just talking I see you could I mean I'm not in love with that nobody's GNA give a [ __ ] okay
what about okay yeah I get it um what about Ad work I think I'm just going to do that now that I talk to you yeah you know what I mean and by the way this is what by the way this is awesome this is
some flowers you're you're thinking you're strategizing right now brother you know you've heard me talk about Ai and other people characters right you're like you're thinking but what's bro you can't
imagine some of the delusional potentially delusional ridiculous [ __ ] myself and to others you're you're refining you're chiseling you know what I mean you're chiseling like on these settings I'm being tight because I want
to bring value to everybody but what you're doing right now I do it all day I'm like what if we do a hot air balloon in [ __ ] you know the adventurous lands in the vessel is that a good like I'm always I'm doing you know like what
I think about this [ __ ] all the what if I retire and just do coloring books like I'm thinking about [ __ ] all the time too so but yes I do have one more question for you if you have time please go ahead when I saw you talking about doing ads
whatever radius of your area after you post something that does well yes um have done social media and they've talked about how when someone comes in from seeing a social media post they kind of like just want to be adjusted
they don't retain those patients a lot they kind of come and go and what would you do to help filter out those kind of people and really focus in on the people that want to continue to come I would do it to see how real that is and find out
if their content is creating those kind of customers and if their actual personalities and skill sets are not retaining either like like there's so many variables bro that to that what people told you and by the way here's my
favorite one how many chiropractors have told you that tell me the real told you that tell me the real number one I [ __ ] brother I was going to bet my [ __ ] life that it was two or
less not and so next time you say that don't say chiropractors say a chiropractor to me you know what I mean brother listen listen hold on hold on this didn't discourage me but it made me think this is super important when it
comes to marketing to get customers in a 2025 world do you think you should listen to me or do you think you should listen to this one chiropractor and the just bought your book yeah and and and more importantly brother You' got to
live it for yourself you know what I mean right and and is that chiropractor boring as [ __ ] no actually he's pretty awesome I like that's awesome so then listen he or she he he you know he how old is
he he you know he how old is he I think 33 to 35 right so he's probably analyzing like the word of mouth clients he's gotten versus social media but I have to look at his social media maybe his ads are leading to lower
value people I run a lot of ads for wine my dad's wine store some of them are very expensive but if I get one customer I know know they're going to be very valuable because I'm being very specific with the creative of the ad that will
get me a customer that is very high net worth but it costs me a lot more money to get one than the 50 I can get for the same amount for the lower customer but that customer may only buy $20 wine once you see where I'm going the creative is
the variable so it sounds like he was running ads just to get as many people as possible yet they weren't as high value if you make videos or pictures for those ads that really speaks to people with heavy issues right with f you know
with heavy issues right with f you know with fash like like with soft like there I'm partnered with a nutrition company right now that I work for that's it bro we got it and we got it I also saw like the social shopping with that I think we
need to start I think you're right we got this we're good go see you love you awesome thank youate it all right I see that a lot of you want pins rips these are what the hollows rainbow thank you I'm giving

think influencers have a fure as a career in 5 10 years from now yes next I mean there eron I don't know what to tell you influencers are only going to tell you influencers are only going to grow I wrote a book at when I'm dead

three times mace please say how crazy that book is I wrote that in 2008 it came out in 09 it literally predicted everything that

15 people Andy warhol's 15minute of fame or whoever said that is now going to be people everyone on Earth will be famous to 15 people at least the world's changed hi darling what's your name vivana vivana where you from New Jersey
Bridgewater Mall I've done baseball card shows there when I was a kid I know it well I'm a hedgehop photographer and I am interested in live social shopping but I don't know what I should be selling like gift cars reduce I'm I'm
kind of highend so I don't want to be portrayed as cheap so I want to be able to do that on live social shopping but I don't know what to sell yeah me I think ready for live social shopping and this is why I'm obsessed with this term
Commerce tainment I think what you could be doing is talking about photography and yourself almost like you're doing a live and yes maybe you could you know give up 11% to whatnot on you know and so if you're get
a discount and then give up 11% it's really not worth it for you cuz you're not selling a an item so sometimes you don't have to force it like I don't force Pinterest and Pinterest is an incredible
platform but I don't force it for me and you know I'm not so sold that you have to use live social shopping even though it's an opportunity because you have a service right and services don't work as
well on live social shopping as items now you may want to sell items you may want to start selling camera equipment you may mhm that also then
gives people awareness that you're a photographer so people may buy camera equipment from you or stumble on you while you're selling camera equipment and then they see how knowledgeable you are and then they may sign you up or
are and then they may sign you up or hire you to service or you may take photography of landscape and sell prints and original photos you could but you're going to need to sell something to get the highest value out of live
shopping okay okay that makes sense all right cool thank you cheers all right social media UB Smiley good to see you RH Matson good to see you great to see everybody on Instagram please get over here to Gary b.com whatnot I see you Tik

people who were listening now who like me and said oh Gary they're not L see you know like I get it and there is mental health issues of course but a lot of people that are just soft they're like I'm anxious you're not anxious
like I'm anxious you're not anxious you're lazy you're entitled you're not accountable and you're using that as a weapon against the world to feel bad for weapon against the world to feel bad for you [ __ ] that [ __ ] that's Tyler look at
that one hit you right and that's hard what I just said and I know people want to get feelings on me and this does not confuse many people who are born with chemical issu there's [ __ ] out there but if you're a person that has weaponized
if you're a person that has weaponized other people's actual grief to disguise other people's actual grief to disguise your entitlement you because you're actually making a lot of us struggle to figure out who's
really struggling or not literally I would argue one of the worst people on earth is someone who's weaponizing mental health issues because of their entitlement and and laziness thus making all of us confused
who's actually got issues and not shame on on you shame on you yeah that's a boom that's a hard thing to say nobody wants to say this what I'm saying out
wants to say this what I'm saying out loud [ __ ] I'm upset I'm upset Ain people who want to help cuz people are like I have mental work from home camera off and then you look at their social and playing [ __ ]
