Uh, hope everybody's super well. Welcome to another episode of Tea with Gary Vee. I am Gary Vee and I'm excited to be here with all of you. Please share, share, share and boost, boost, boost. Uh, first before we start the show, I apologize to everybody who was watching the stream last night uh on the B Friend side. Um, no excuses, just was super salty from the four to nothing loss. Uh, and uh, we have a a Gary Vee Mayhem befriend show coming up after this and so we will uh, address it then. Um, my back is [ __ ] killing me. I literally have heat pad. Look at this. I literally have heat pad thingies on. Yeah, I'm a [ __ ] mess, guys. Like, I should have definitely not played yesterday, but I'm a [ __ ] insane psycho. Uh, speaking of psychos, Rips is here. Um, and that's good to see. Uh, and I think we should get into the show. So, I'm going to send out this text to get people on. Come and ask your Now, we have a fun new thing to get on if you want to. We're going to Pablo's going to ask the questions from the chat. So, ask your questions. Please right now use the question mark so that your uh uh your uh question pops up in yellow, but we also are going to put people on screen with me today. Uh and the way you do that is by texting your question to 212931-5731. That's 212-931-5731. Um, I definitely want my social. I don't know if we're trying to do that. Mike, are we working? That's what we're working on. Okay, cool. Thank you. Instagram should be live. We want to refresh the Instagram and the Tik Tok. Um, so do we do we have a banner to put up for that 212? Okay. Where is that banner? Cuz I was saying it live. What do you mean it's going to be I am live once? Oh, you mean over there? Not on whatnot. Heard. Heard. Uh, and there we go. Adrian texted. So, if you have a question and you want to be on screen with me, go to 212931-5731. Text your question. The uh the admins are looking at those questions, picking their favorite one, and they're going to text you a Google Hangout link, and you will be on with me. Um, and that's that. Uh, but and then there's a third one, right, with like all the others. Yes, that one would be the stream. Um, cool. Uh, huge raid from Gary Vee. Thank you, Rips. I appreciate that. That was a nice little push. Who just came over from the text? Let me know. Pablo, I am ready. Let's get into the first question. Alex says the text. Let me know. I am I just heard something. First question. What did I just hear? I can hear the show right now. I'm hearing double feedback. All right. Back to Pablo. Go ahead. Alex says, "I'm 13 and want to solve billion dollar problems and build a company bigger than Apple. What are three daily habits I should build right now?" One more time. Alex says, "I'm 13 and want to solve billion-dollar problems and build a company bigger than Apple. What are three daily habits that I could start right now?" Alex, I I love the ambition, first of all, but I think the first thing you need to do is mitigate delusion. I think having big goals matter, but if you're actually going to be about that life, um, what I would be doing is an extraordinary amount of at 13 learning how to prompt engineer. So go Google or AI prompt engineering to learn what that means. At 13, if you're going to solve billion-dollar problems, becoming remarkable of interacting with AI is going to really matter for you, brother. Um, I think the other one is accountability. So, I think one of the things you should spend a lot of time on is blaming yourself for anything that's not going well, you know, with with, you know, sports, school, um, your social life, like getting really, really, really locked in to 100% accountability. You're good. You're good, Hannah. Hannah, you're good. You're allowed to walk around the office, Hannah. Hannah Fishman in the building. Uh, and then finally, brother, I would think a lot about um not becoming audacious. too many 13-year-olds are looking up to billionaires that are audacious and things of that nature. I would actually go the counter way. Um, I would start learning how to be a good human being and and having good people skills and listening to people and and caring about people. I think you want to be in a good mental place climbing the hill. What people don't spend time on enough is staying at the top of the hill in a healthy and sustainable way. I just know way too many millionaires and billionaires who are incredibly deeply unhappy, depressed, um, drug addicts, um, just like like holding on by a thread. And so what I want for you, brother, is for you to when you get there to actually get joy in play. I'm I'm comes along with being successful. I think my boyish behavior, including when it goes ary, like it did last night when I became unsportsmanlike and, you know, got got a little into the theatrics and, you know, got into the moment a little bit as well. And like it kind of like compounded, right? Like I was being a little silly and then I wanted the theater of it for entertainment value. And even when it goes ary, it's still better than For example, I've tried reaching out and I've, you know, thought a lot about how AI could be really useful in the V friends and storytelling. Uh, and I have kind of made it a little mini passion project of writing kind of going back to the OG days, writing little workplace warrior stories about how the different V friends could represent actual, you know, jobs and entrepreneurs, you know, whether that be doctors, you know, whatever, you know, lawyers for example. I think I think that let me let me Yeah, let me let me explain let me give you some insight. So for V for V friends because so much work has been put on the canon era and the the origin stories it's a timing thing. We're in a place right now where the creative team is so locked into what we're doing and it's mapping the next 36 months that the value doesn't come in new ideas. But on the AI part, if you're actually learning how to use AI and sent examples of how you created things using AI with the creative, that might give you a leg up. They're still complaining about the volume of me. Everyone, they continue to complain about. Guys, am I getting louder? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15. And now I'm I'm reading the chat. Yeah. Okay, now I'm loud. It's fine. All right. Um, so I think I think that's what I can speak for us and I would say AI is a great place for you to go all in on because the next 24 months everyone's going to be looking for AI people, AI knowledge, AI stuff. So what I would say to you is less ideas and more execution. I would get very deeply good at AI storytelling and then sending companies like us and others things you made so people can see it and then bang. Yeah, that's actually what I've been doing. I've been emailing the team stories that I've viewed AI as brunts. That's not going to be enough. I would say again cuz that's grounded in ideas. Notice what I said earlier. The ideas part is not the interesting part only because we're stuck in this spot right now where we've spent two years and the last 6 months especially setting up the next 5 years of canon. So it's just a timing thing. It doesn't for many people that would be valuable. What we would be value, what we would be excited about would be creative output. Like a threeminute video taking what uh you know this if you made a 3minut video taking what was in the last comic book or the next comic book and creating content that gets on my radar. All right. Well, I'll be emailing you my 3minute video as soon as the comic comes out. Well, listen. I'm thrilled to give you the the answers to the quiz and I'm looking forward to seeing if you heard it. So, good luck, brother. I'd be remiss real quick before I left. I'd be remiss if I didn't ask for that big chinchilla plush. You know, I'm always in there asking. I'd be remiss if I didn't bring it up. Um I've I've promised the crew that the chinchilla that's here stays. But I can I can confirm a little bit of alpha here. There has been an overwhelming response to that chill chinchilla and there is significant momentum on us producing it and making it available. So more to come on that. Awesome. Thanks Gary. Have fun. Take care brother. Take care. All right Pablo, what do you got? Calvin asks, "Why or with AI now able to mimic anyone's voice perfectly? How do you see authenticity evolving when the line between you and not you becomes invisible? Well, I don't I don't think it's authenticity. I think it's truth, right? And obviously you can blend into that. I think again people are saying people are really complaining by the way. Let's Yeah, I'm still trying to tune it in. I think maybe see what chat thinks. Like Bright VA is really sad about the old missing the old setup. Uh dad with kids says I'm super low. Everybody tell me if I'm low or I'm not like don't touch anything right now. Am I good or not good right now? Say good or not good. Just say good or not good. Good or not good. Good or not good. Looks like predominantly good. Where's my uh your mouse? Oh uh Court has the mouse. Court, can you fix the uh keep an eye on that chat down to the bottom? It sounds good. Sounds good to me too on the phone. Yeah, it seems like most people are good. And people are saying the camera is very fuzzy. It looks fuzzy for me as well on what I can see on the screen. Check that out. Sounds good. We're trying something new here, team. We're going to continue to always tweak. Uh trying to make it a little bit better. Uh the question guy, people are all over the place. One person said question guy was high, then another one said was low. Uh I'm definitely fuzzy from what I can tell here. still kind of fuzzy. Pablo, you ask me the next question. I'll let the team keep working on it. Mark asked, "I'm currently unemployed. Took a chance on making more money in the state of Minnesota. I left my cook job and also my family back in Texas for a chance to give them a better life. I've been here a week already and I feel homesick. Did I make a mistake? And better yet, how have you handled transition periods in your life?" Um, it sounds like he's just starting. I've handled transition periods by not judging transition periods in the first week. I judge transition periods in multiple years, not in multiple days. So, I would say that I handle it by deploying patients. And I don't think he's made a mistake. I think he's jumping too quick, you know. Uh, real quick, as we're fixing things, uh, people said Pablo was hard to hear. People are saying audio is better. I think the video is a little bit better. Um, real quick for everybody who's on other channels, the reason you're seeing over my face is you need to go to whatnot. Can you guys take the banner and change it cuz people don't The one problem putting the banner in the phone number is that um we're going to take questions only from whatnot cuz I want the banner to say go to whatnot because that's uh the that's the banner that should be covering my face. Everybody, if you're on Tik Tok or Instagram, I see you. Uh, the design lab, I see you. Carlos, I see you. Dan likes, I see you. Honey, I see you on Tik Tok. Real JC Coupe, I see you on Tik Tok. Uh, B Digital, I see you. All of you need to Can you guys change the banner, please? Uh, all of you, as you see the banner now, go to garyve.com/whatnot. David J. Blake on Facebook, I see you. But I need all of you, if you want to get the complete show, go to garyve.comnot. I'm trying to teach you live commerce, commerce tamement. So I'm putting the banner over my face so you guys can learn. I know Michael Michael Montegro. I know that the banner is covering my face because I need you to leave. Michael, I need you to leave YouTube and go to garyv.comnot. All right, back to whatnot. Alex asks, "With the film industry struggling in the USA, you are starting a TV production company. What are your predictions business-wise about Hollywood, the film industry, and AI?" Asking as a member of the film industry who's trying to move into producing after 12 plus years working on a set as a grip. Yeah, I mean, I think look, I think um it says uh hard to hear Pablo is what Matt said. It was loud for me. How many people heard Pablo not heard Pablo? How was Pablo? Thank you. It's a mineral for the raid. Can he who could who heard Pablo is it's so funny a lot of people it's mixed reviews it's a lot of people did not hear Pablo as well Pablo was definitely low for most people but it wasn't him just talk Pablo check check one two three that's good keep doing that everybody you can get the mugs people said better better all right let's just keep going with it um let me just answer the question. Um, the the film industry, every single creative industry, Vayner Media, Hollywood, Madison Avenue is going to be massively affected by AI because you can make incredible visuals for far less money without ever leaving the comforts of your home. The whole game's about to change. The end. Like, I think I'm going to make feature films on a computer. And by the way, that's how music's made now digitally in a way that a lot of people don't feel great about. But nobody in Hollywood cared about the music people when they were disrupted by Napster and by being able to Avichi sat in the [ __ ] middle of Europe on his computer and changed the world. So that's what's going to [ __ ] happen. Sorry Hollywood. Sorry Vayner Media and other ad agencies. Shit's changing. And so if you're not [ __ ] adjusting, I'm spending an enormous amount of mind time and strategy on what we're going to do about it. And what we're going to do about it is we're going to become great at it. And so what you're going to the people that are creative and strategic are going to get most of the money, not the people that are lugging [ __ ] around. The person that's holding lighting, if your job is to hold a light, if you're a light man or woman, right? And there's people that do that. You're in charge of the lighting. You're in trouble. Sorry. Just like the yellow pages salesman was in trouble. Just like the bookstores were in trouble. Just like the taxi drivers were in trouble. Just like the people that literally Pablo, do you understand? On this little island that you're sitting on right now 110 years ago, a lot of people's job was to clean up horseshit. That was their job. We all walked, we all got around on horses. And horses [ __ ] Pablo, do you know that horses [ __ ] And the [ __ ] was on the street. And do you know that people got paid to clean up the [ __ ] When we went to cars, what the [ __ ] do you think happened? Do you understand? When we went to the telephone, instead of everything being a letter, that people that were part of the letter business, ink, paper, the delivery of letters. When we went to telephone, [ __ ] changed. We didn't cry for the letter people. We just marveled at having letters. Like, yes, shit's going to change. So that's it, man. If you're in [ __ ] Hollywood or Madison Avenue, start adjusting. The game's changing. Matthew, you're going to be fine, brother. Divorce is hard and you're going to adjust. You're going to be great, brother. What's that? Giveaway. Uh yeah, let's do a giveaway. Let's do a giveaway. Here's the big giveaway. A pack a pack of V Friends cards. I mean, we're so blurry like on that. We don't have Yeah, it's not blurry on the camera. It might be.

Just hit it. This is what's so great about live shopping. So, everybody who's on social, you can't you can't see me or do anything cuz you have to go to garyve.com/wnot. You have to go to garyve.com/wnot. Get over here. Get over here. This is free. NYG DBone, good to see you. Um, everybody, get over here right now. If you're on my social networks, great to see you. Uh, Mike B is live on video. Mike B is live on video on whatnot. If you want to see him uh court fix the chat, keep an eye on that for me if you don't mind or you can give me the mic on that if you want. Um Mike B, how are you? Where are you from? And what can I help you with? Good. Um I'm in Vancouver, Washington. And um my life kind of got flipped upside down a few months ago, going through a separation right now, three kids. Um and I currently work full-time job at an ad agency in New York City remote. Um, but I'm also building out my own agency. I've been doing it for the last six years. Um, and I guess my question is right now I'm in a tough spot because I'm I'm going through custody situations, but while I want more time with my kids, I need my full-time job isn't enough to support financially. So, I do need extra, which is no problem. I've been working seven days a week all day for years. Like, I have no problem putting in the work. But it's it's getting to the point where it's a hard decision where do I fight for more time with my kids now and work my face off and figure it out financially or do I agree to the minimal time now and um build it up and then fight for more time with them later. I know it's like not not looking for legal advice or anything. No, I understand. Mike, listen, I have a lot of compassion and empathy for you. This is obviously a challenging chapter in your life. Here's the good news. First, I think you can find some solace in this. I really am fascinated by kids and parents and all that stuff. I spent a lot of time on it in the last 20 years is first and foremost just please focus deeply deeply that your children know that you love them and you're always there for them. You're you're lucky. We live in a world where FaceTime and all this other stuff you know, as you can imagine, there's no quote unquote right answer. I think that I think that the struggle between financial realities and family realities is very real and even for people that are not in a divorce and custody situation, people struggle with this. I would say focus on a couple things. One, realizing the only right answer is that those children know that their dad is there for them constantly and always in any situation and that you love the living [ __ ] out of them. That is the only right answer. Right. You know, I look, I think you want to you want to you definitely want to fight for as much time as you personally think you can go for. Meaning, I think there's potentially an in between from the way you structured it. There's probably an in between from the most minimum amount of time with them, but also uh an in between from like you leaving a a little bit on the table from the work stuff and the kids stuff. So, it's kind of finding purple instead of red or blue, right? Instead of it being black or white, fight the gray. But whatever you're feeling right now, whatever the bare minimum is, like 20 to 50% more than that based on your situation is probably quote unquote a good place to t try to target. And then in the time that you're not with them that you're upset that you can't be 50/50 or as much as possible, overindexing on them feeling your presence. And here's a big one, dominating when you're actually with them. Right. Right. Like like being Yeah. Exactly. and and honestly not beating yourself up. Here's what will happen. There'll be a time where you're with them and works on fire and there's a problem where there's some other problem or you're not your best self cuz you had a tough day or a tough argument with their mom or who knows, right? Mhm. If you have a bad weekend or a bad like time with them, like you didn't feel as present as you wanted to be, not beating yourself up and knowing you have the next time with them to make up for it. Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, you understand being kind to yourself. Everybody, real quick, a lot of you have not entered the giveaway. Just click, click, click, click, click right here in the top left or right corner. I think it's in your right corner. Literally, there's 631 of you in here. There's a free $40 pack.

And just appreciate everything you do. You've been a big help for me and a beacon for years, man. Just really appreciate it. Um I I'm I'm really cheering for you. Brother, there's some real light and gold at the end of this tunnel. I promise you, as tough as this is, in context, there'll be a lot of good things that come out of this, even though this is painful. And I really believe you're going to get to the other side in a good way, brother. Thank you. I feel it and I can see it myself. Thank you. You're welcome, brother. Take care. All right.

Click our logo in the top left and then hit message and say I collect comics. Teach me. I want to learn. Who wants to learn more about V friends? Put I want to learn in the chat. Pablo, next question. Hannah's asking, "I'm prepping for my last round interview in person I have at this foundation, and considering I've been trying to find a job for 8 months, and the job market is tumultuous, I'm a bit nervous. I'd love to know how you calm your nerves and emotions before a big life event." By realizing that if you don't, it's probably not going to go well. And so really this becomes a game of knowing you have no choice and not again similar to the gentleman before. Here's my number one thing right now that I'm hot on is being your number one fan versus being your number one critic. Like when when she says that it's likely her next four job interviews are not going to go well. She has it in her, right? Like for example, again, I'm bringing up yesterday, like for all the people that were watching basketball yesterday, when I lose, my chemicals go weird. I know that like me just like leaving the game and not doing the Astro, that was not like the right thing. But I'm not going to sit today and be like, I'm a piece of [ __ ] Even though like some of the be friends community is like that was [ __ ] up, Gary. You know what I mean? Like, you know, I had a bad moment and everyone's allowed to. And so like she's allowed to have shitty interviews. And the more she's not upset at herself for the next shitty interview, the more likely her next interview will be good, right? Like I need people to really understand this. What's up, Charlie? I'll be right with you. Um I need people to understand this. like how does she address this is when I do my most pre uh I gave an NYU commencement speech as you know most a lot of people saw that video I did not prep for it at all and right before I went on I go man is this the right thing not to prep for even though I never prep and I and I'm sitting there and I'm like this could go really bad or this could go well but the reason it went so well I believe is because if I [ __ ] bombed and it was terrible. I'd be fine. And again, I think the thing that's [ __ ] up so many people right now is they're not their number one fan. You got to be your number one fan. You can't beat yourself up. Like for example, I'm looking at all these people on Tik Tok and Instagram right now, right? Greg, Jacko, uh, Samachi, Wolf, Tang, Hi, Chase Gray. I need all of them to be on one knot. I need them all to be a one not. I'm I hate them all right now. I'm angry at everybody on all my socials that have not come over here. But they shouldn't be mad. They shouldn't be sad that I am mad at them. They need to be insular. They need to be insular. You must be insular. What's her name again? Hannah. Hannah, you The way that you can deliver on big moments is by already deciding that you lost. The reason I'm always happy is cuz I decide that I've lost before I do something. Get all those feelings and move on. Rips, Courtney, Sid, you might find this funny. The one place in my life, personally and professionally, emotionally, everything in my life I decided I've already lost. Ver failed, Vayner failed. I failed. I've decided it. I have felt the feelings. The only place in my life Thank you studio for the raid. Let's do a big giveaway. We just had a big raid. Let me do this giveaway. Let's do this for all the sports fans. Planet Euphoria, who beat us four games to love yesterday cuz they brought a ringer. [ __ ] them. A Paul Ske t-shirt from them. Free. Put up the Paul Skins t-shirt. Paul Ske t-shirt. Either either you like sports and you like this shirt. What is it? Medium. Either you like this and you're going to rock it cuz it's rad as [ __ ] or you don't like it and you're going to get it for free and sell it for 40 bucks on eBay. Go to the top right and hit the giveaway. The only place in my life that I have decided I haven't lost yet is when I compete in sports. The only place in my life that I decide JMO, welcome back. Took way took way too much time off. Modern man. Modern man. Um, the only place in my life that I everything I do, keynotes, I have a TV appearance tonight for a big one. Like everything I do, go in for a deal, try to close a deal, I always have already felt the loss. You guys have seen me when things don't go well. I'm I'm like easy, easy, big [ __ ] Lost $10 million count. Nonevent lose a stinking pickup game last night. Four games to love. Dead. dead because there I'm like, we're going to win no matter what. I'm I I I I'm I'm I I have expectations to win. Which is funny cuz in life I'm dominant. In sports, I'm very below average. It's almost like this delusional reverse reality in my life. So anyway, the reason so many people are unhappy in life is they're the reverse of me. They don't care about sports. It's just a game. And then in real life, they care about every little [ __ ] thing. Expectations is [ __ ] They're literally the reverse of me. I take silly games as the most important thing. They all say it doesn't matter. A game. Do you understand? A game of Uno is like life and death to me. Do you understand? Me and AJ's only major fight in our life. Major fight was over categories. Major like [ __ ] you, [ __ ] you. We're done. We're in business together. I take games super serious, which aren't serious, and I take life super not serious, but it's super serious. That's the [ __ ] twist, y'all. That's the [ __ ] twist. I don't care, Rips. We don't need to force people to hit I don't give a [ __ ] if the 300 of you that have not entered haven't hit the top right button. All of you are crying that you don't have money and you can't win and why am I not happy? Here's why. Because you're a [ __ ] loser that can't even click the top right button to get a free item. That's why rips. But I don't care about that. I don't care about that. I don't care if they enter or not. They're not my [ __ ] child. I don't give a [ __ ] I'm pumped that 240 people have not hit the top right button to get a free item. I'm thrilled. Charlie Garcia in the [ __ ] building. What's good, sir? How you doing, sir? How are you? Meet you, Gary. Pleasure, my man. Where you from? Doing good. I'm from Georgia. Atlanta, Georgia. My man. Sir, what can I help you with? Yeah. So, right now, I'm I'm I have a good I have pretty good job, and I'm honestly I'm not I'm not complaining, but it's just I don't know. just I don't know if this really this this I enjoy doing it, but it's not something it's I don't I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. Well, change change your job, but like I don't know what it's just a really good paying a really good paying job and I don't know. So, suck it up. [Music] and get and get your joy elsewhere. Yeah. I don't know. I just I guess I've also just I just reached out. I don't know. Just a point where I'm just like like I said I said in a text I said I feel like I'm burnt out. I just feeling unmotivated. Well then quit. You're a grown ass man, my man. Oh, this is called life. Ain't nobody going to [ __ ] hear you're complaining. That's going to be productive. You're you're [ __ ] strong. You're [ __ ] capable. You're allowed to quit, try some other [ __ ] fail at it, and then go get a job that's similar or the same job with your tail between your legs and it's all good. That's not failure. Actually, that's strength. You quitting and trying to make yourself happier and then losing and then going back to a job. I admire that. What I don't admire is dwelling. Action, my guy. Either take the action of sucking it the [ __ ] up like we all do in many parts of our life. I don't do it in my job. I do it in other places and [ __ ] get your joy elsewhere. Or have the courage to chase a dream and get the [ __ ] out. And then don't be scared of losing because if you lose and whatever the [ __ ] your alternative is, you go back and get a job. That's called a real man. You're a real man. Big shout out to Bach Krug. I think Bach Krug with the wind. It's so funny. Meowi says in the chat, "Brother, you're 50. Shut up." It's so funny. 50 is the people that should be listen should be talking. What's that? the one the person that just won Barbara. She's she works on on the team. That's awesome. Um, you know what I mean, Charlie? Yes, sir. I do. So, what do you think you want to do? Are what do you what do you think you want to do? Honest honestly, I just I the job I have now is I gotten really good at it and uh I've frozen. I'm not a I'm not a manager, but I'm I'm like I rose into the like top of the lead basically a lead tech company. Okay. And uh but I feel like I'm just working there just a repeated cycle of just working a 9 to5 and I just there's almost no freedom for me at all. Like no uh there's tons of freedom. 9 to do you work 9 to5? Is that the actual hours? It's a 12 it's 12 hours to 12 hours. uh for 4 days. But then I just, you know, you know, you know, you know what I think is happening? I think you're you just might be too talented. You're not challenged enough. I think you secretly know you've got more in you and can do more, but you're scared of that. I think you're listening to conservative people too much. I think you're ready to jump and I think everyone around you is telling you not to because you got a good situation, but I just think you're more talented than everybody that you're listening to. Think about this. Everyone who's telling you to stay in your job and then you've got me telling you to quit your job and go. Of those people, who's more successful? me or your [ __ ] relatives that are telling you to stay in the [ __ ] job? You. Good. Always judge who's giving you advice. It's the number one rule in life. Judge the judggers. All the people that are judging you, judge them back. So when your auntie says, "What are you talking about? You have a great paying job." Be like, "Auntie, I don't want your life. Charlie, who you living for? You or someone else? I know the answer is for me, but I don't know. I just I grew up in a in a home book where it was just me, my my mother, and uh my brother. And uh cuz at a young well I was I wasn't even that young. I was like 11 years old and uh so my father left us and uh you know just I I had to step up and you know become support for my mother. Yeah I get it bro. I admire the [ __ ] out of you. Both my parents lost a parent. I was the financial foundation of my family as a young dude. I get it. Guess what? It's not your fault that you ended up being more talented than what you're doing right now. It's a blessing. You need to walk into your destiny. And if you fail, you brother, let me promise you one thing now that I've chopped it up with you a little bit. If you go fail at the thing that you're trying to do that's bigger than what you're doing now, what you're doing now will take you back in open arms. Whether it's this company or something like this company, let me promise you that, my [ __ ] guy. Bro, you're [ __ ] bored. No [ __ ] You're [ __ ] bored, my dude. You're too talented for what the [ __ ] you're doing. Quit and do something bigger. And if you lose, go back to this. At least you know you tried. You won't regret. Appreciate you, Gary. I love you back, my guy. to hear that, man. I love you, man. Appreciate you. Don't [ __ ] me, Charlie. You better [ __ ] jump or I'm going to be super pissed. I'm going to find you in Atlanta, Georgia, and punch you in your [ __ ] gut. Go jump, bro. You You're You're bigger than your job. You're going to do better. And don't worry about everybody who boos you. And And tell your mom or your brother or somebody anybody else that says, "What the [ __ ] are you doing? Gary Vee is wrong." Tell them from Gary Vee. [ __ ] you. Yes, sir. Love you. I will. Love you, too. Appreciate you. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Pablo, what's good? Everybody, the reason you're not I'm sorry. You can put put that on mute. Everybody on my socials, the reason you're not seeing everything is the official show. The official show um is on whatnot. The official show, you know. Mikey Guest says, "I mean, Auntie knows you better than Gary right now." As a counterpoint to my point, does she? Cuz auntie is deploying what she wants for them. In fact, the ones that know you and love you are telling you to live life based on how they want you to live life. In fact, strangers are often better. Strangers are often better. Mikey, bro, Mikey, brother, it's easy for a rich stranger to tell you quit. Mikey, I'm I'm being very comfortable. Mikey, you've decided to only listen. Mikey G on YouTube, you've decided to only listen to one part of my answer, right? Mikey, you said it's easy. Mikey, it's I said go try and if you fail, go back to the job. Mikey, it this is important stuff, my guy. Like, like I get unlimited messages over the last 15 years from people that are deeply depressed that they didn't do the thing. People get into bad places when they don't follow the their destiny. They live with resentment and regret. Um, and by the way, I'm just spitting a hypothesis. Mikey G, you might be right. And and and Charlie might be seeing you and your opinion might be right, and that's okay, too. He asked. I gave him my two cents. To your point, Mikey, I do not think on the record for everybody who's listening, I never in my life believe in my life, I never believe that I'm right. I'm just sharing my best subjective opinion at the moment with what I feel in intuition. You know what I mean? I think um and Mikey, I think you should think a lot about Mikey G on YouTube. You should think a lot about what you're thinking. Mikey says, "Hope Gary has that check for him if he's wrong." Mikey, Charlie's a big boy. He doesn't have to listen to me. I think your perspective is something you should check on. I think you're coming with a lot of cynicism and negativity, lot lack of hope, lack of optimism, lack of belief. I think you need to listen to more positivity. Tyler Han in the building. What's good, brother? How you doing, Gary? I'm quite well. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. Where you from? Um, I wanted to ask you quick. So, I am a recent uh federal employee. Uh, when the new administration came in, I took a resignation offer. So, I stopped getting paid uh in about 6 months at the end of September. Okay. Um, I have three about to be four rental properties and I'm working on a flip with some partners. Um, I don't want to get another full-time job. I want to do full-time real estate on my own, doing my own thing. I just don't know what exactly that means and what to do. It sounds like you're doing that a little bit. The issue is I don't have what I have doesn't take up 40 hours of my week. You know, I can do it in 5 to 10 and I still want to do more. I just don't know what that is. Why don't you do more of what you're doing? Uh, well, I guess some of it is a is a money thing. Uh, to buy the rentals, I have to have a little bit of money. So, I'm trying to figure out where to find the income to do that. Well, what about getting a job that is more in line with what you're interested in? So, one of the things I think about is when you're a young kid like you wanting to get into a business, there's a ton of [ __ ] you don't know about this business, right? Even if you got an entrylevel job at a company that does what you do at way bigger scale, you'll be learning there. You see where I'm going? For sure. Yeah. Absolutely. So, one of the options for you and everybody who's listening is to take jobs in companies that do what you're wanting to do to do it at a much bigger scale, right? And so, because you'll learn. And so I I I think one of the options for you, brother, is to go and get a job at a real estate company that does what you're doing at a much bigger level. Yeah. So that you can learn while you're there for a little while. I see. You see where I'm going? I got you. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. I I have thought about that before. Uh I I guess the job market is a hard thing. Uh you know, to get into one of those things. Um Yeah. It's tough to do that. But again, if you if you decide to do it smaller like like again it sounds like you want to do this entrepreneurial thing. Absolutely. Are you willing to live humbly in this part of your early life? Uh I do now. I I live in uh me and my wife live in a one room apartment that's part of one of the houses we are renting. Smart. Um she's a teacher. All our expenses are covered. So I can kind of take it time to do whatever. You know, I can try to build something be a realtor or something like that. Oh, you could you could also be the assistant or the greeter in a company that does what you want to do at a larger scale and get paid minimum wage, right? You see where I'm going? Like the job the job the job market's hard when you try to get jobs that are bigger than you. You know how many people are doing that right now? Everyone's like, "The job market's hard." I dig in and double click and I look and the person is trying to get a job that is way overqualified for them. The job market's hard when you don't have humility. But I'm for sure a believer that you could get an entrylevel job in a real estate firm that does flipping at scale. Right. You see where I'm going, Ty? Yeah. Absolutely. That absolutely that. And if that's not it, get a job at a marketing firm that does personal branding as an assistant or a greeter or an entrylevel employee so that you can learn how to do content and marketing. So you could use content and marketing for yourself to get deals and opportunities. I see. I see. You see where I'm going? Go work at somewhere that will teach you a skill that you want for yourself based on what you want to do. Even if it's an entry-level job, right? Got it. Absolutely. Absolutely. I appreciate it, Gary. Thanks a lot. All right. Thank you. Yeah. Miss V Lynch, I don't know about that. Like I think that like companies posting openings they don't hire. I don't know about that. Like I I I think whoever's giving you that when you say I hear the opposite. I think Miss V. Lynch, I think people that's that's a very cynical point of view. Like companies aren't looking to waste our time. I think that's just an excuse by somebody telling you that. All right. Pablo Josh is asking, "I work as the plant manager for a small family-owned manufacturing company. We have a maintenance technician that reports directly to me. He recently went through a workers's comp case and has created quite the headache for our HR department, luring up and threatening legal action. His work ethic and skills are phenomenal and I don't want to lose him, but he has been a very emotional, dramatic employee. As an owner, would you allow someone like this to stay from the top? Pette the Astro t-shirt will be on the next show in about 10 minutes from the top. Po. Yeah, so Josh is asking, I work as the plant manager for a small family-owned manufacturing company. We have a maintenance technician that reports directly to me. He recently went through a workers's comp case and has created quite the headache for our HR department, lawyering up and threatening legal action. His work ethic and skills are phenomenal and I don't want to lose him, but he has when someone justifies bad behavior. And by the way, I don't know if this lawyering up like that employee might be right. So on the record, I have no idea if he's right. I'm not worried about the lawyering up. I'm worried about the way the question was asked. So many people look the other way on employees that are emotional issues, distractions, cancers, bring negativity, cause problems, [ __ ] the machine up because they're good at their job. It is a massive mistake. Now you want to give effort and you want to try to build that person up. You want to explain to them that you want to mentor them. You don't want to just like first time you there's you know there's three strikes in baseball in life you got to give people more grace than one but you know when there's consistency in that um emotional emotional shortcomings in the workplace are often mapped with emotional shortcomings outside the workplace and they're hard to change sometimes and people do grow up people do become more accountable. People do get better. People get less insecure, less territorial. Um, but I never have ever kept anybody in a company because of their skill set. I've kept them in the company because I felt like we could give them one more chance. I I root for them. That's fine. But justifying keeping someone in the company because they're good at their job when they are an issue to the system is why the most talented sports teams don't win championships. This goes back to sports. You know why the most talented super teams don't win? The locker room [ __ ] The locker room [ __ ] And so that's real life in business, too. So that's what's up on that one. Uh let's we can do one more screen or we can do one more Pablo. We can get a couple more in tea with Gary B. Everybody, thank you. Please stay here. You're on whatnot. If you're on my social medias, get over to garyve.com/whatnot. That's why that banner is over my face. I want you to get over here and ask your question, join us, and get into the giveaways. We're going to have some monster giveaways starting at 11:30 consistent. Uh Pablo, go ahead. Sage is asking, "I've been on a roller coaster since I lost my mom 5 years ago. She was my friend and number one supporter. Now I'm being pressured by family to work a 40hour a week job that I don't like doing. I know my flaws are that I give up easily, but I'm really trying to finish school and figure out what to do. Any advice on keeping up my motivation, not giving up or knowing what I really love to do. This is a little tough because when I hear that, especially with all due respect to the devastation of losing a parent, when I hear the other family members pushing for a 40-year-old job and I hear I do give up and all that stuff, what I'm concerned about is that mom was the enabler. And that's tough to say cuz mom's not with us and like I struggle. I struggled. I think everybody knows I go pretty canderous here. On the record, that was hard to say out loud. That was a challenge for me. But I really I really want this person to be accountable and ask themselves. A lot of people think your biggest supporter is a supporter, but the actual reality is is that your biggest supporter often times is your biggest enabler, not supporter. A supporter is going to hold you accountable, you know. And so I would say that you never want to give up on dreams and passion, but that line in the question of like I know I give up easy and like the mom moms are moms and dads are almost always the enablers and it's so tough like there's such a fine line between being an enabler and being a supporter. Um, but that's what I would ask this person to be self um reflective and find out. Um, you know, finishing school sounds like that's been dragging on. Sounds like the person doesn't want to do anything. You know what I mean? Worried about that. Victoria. Yes. Hey, Gary. How are you? I'm well. How are you? Good. So, our question is, this is my twin sister Anna. Um, our question is, we just started a podcast talking about like our bond as twins and no one can really understand that. So, how can we kind of like cast and get it out there? We're probably on episode like 20 to 30. Um, we have someone like producing it for us and everything like that. Um, but we're just trying to grow it like as quick as we can and get as many like twin guests on and you know share all of our interesting information that not many people know about twins. So I think one issue is that you said the word quick. Okay. That is killing kids. Yeah. Like all of you want it too fast. Victoria Anna, I worked in a liquor store from 22 to 34. Yeah. Quick was the tell. No, I get that. Quick was the tell in your question. Yeah. You know my answer is going to be. You already know what my answer is going to be if you're on this show. You need to make a fuckload of social media content to bring awareness to your podcast. Yeah, we did the video for like the A Toz thing through all of our contacts. I love that. But how much content are you putting out on social every day? At least once a day. Good. Like religiously at least once a day. Which platform? Um Tik Tok, Instagram, and then our YouTubes are like a little bit of the shorts and then like obviously our podcast. And what about Twitter? And what about Facebook? Facebook and Twitter. No, I want you to add that. Okay. Um, I want you to post what you're posting on Tik Tok on Snapchat spotlight. Okay. I want you to post two times a day on all those platforms. Got it. And I want you to close all four of your eyes and wake up in 5 years after doing it and then judge if it's working or not. Gotcha. Okay, cool. Sounds good. Thank you so much. Oh man, this was a fun tea with Gary Vee. so excited. This show is like such a good format. We get super real. That last question before the kids was like real. Like this whole like supporter enabler thing is a real [ __ ] topic. What many of us think is our biggest supporter is actually our biggest enabler. Friends, please think about who's your real quick. Think about the person you consider the biggest supporter in your life. Actually, I want everybody to comment and whatnot. Think about your biggest supporter and now tell me, does that biggest supporter call you out on your [ __ ] Often is oftenish. Like really actually say capital yes or say capital no. And I think a lot of people like I really want you to be honest on this one because I feel like a lot of people I see too many yeses. I'm telling you even in those yeses I know that it's not true. They're like being they like they're like softly. I'm talking about calling you out on your actual [ __ ] Your actual [ __ ] It's real. It's real. You know, you know, and Sid, you think about how my management style has evolved in your 10 years. By the way, Sid put out a [ __ ] banger piece of content. like a banger in his 10 year anniversary here with me. He put out a banger that I shared. I'll share it again quite often. I think back, Zack, what's up? And Zach, who's on my team, knows this, too. I did for and I support my employees heavy, but I I had like a half pregnant version of it. I wasn't strong enough to be directly cander and be like, "Sid, you [ __ ] suck at this." I would do it through zinging and zagging. You know, Rips, I do with you. Like, the more I love you, the more I'll zing. I'm trying to make a point. Rips is getting the benefit of more mature combos from me. Like when he when I could see he's down or when he calls me frustrated, like we've had two or three good talks that have been like foundational. And I would say like in managing Sid, I would still probably be at like a half a good talk at this point and Rifts has gotten three. But Sid would have gotten more zingers along the way. I would have made like I was trying to communicate because I wasn't able to be fully all the way there. And so I was like half enabler. I was like 90% enabler, 10% supporter in the Zings. Now I'm much stronger. I can have the combo. So again, I think a lot of people are saying yes, but what that person's doing, let me tell you, as an as a historic enabler who still is an enabler, but trying to get better as a supporter, they're calling out small [ __ ] They're not going to the [ __ ] heart, right? Everybody's like, "Yes, yes, yes." cuz they were like, "Ah, this little thing, this little thing that you don't even give a [ __ ] about actually." So now, one more time and whatnot, now that I've said it, have you changed your mind? And actually, you can think about your supporter. I'm telling you right now, your supporters are your enablers. They're allowing you to get away with [ __ ] And some have great supporters. Yeah. No. And a little bit of Yes. That's right, Clouch. That's right. Cuz nothing's black and white. It's gray. There's levels to it. It's percentages. It's nuanced. Everything's nuanced. But anyway, I think we're tackling important things here on Tea with Gary Vee. We will continue. Good news, everyone. I have made the official commitment post Labor Day. Every day that I am in New York City, I am doing Tea with Gary Vee every day. And I've got some other surprises for you.

But for the people I don't have a coupon and I purchased Ron Jordan says we'll have to check that. We'll check it. Ron, if you don't have if you bought a cowboy yesterday and you didn't get a DM from us with the code, then you can It looks like several people are in that camp. Uh D.

Um, Bernard, for shipping to Europe, there really isn't a solution because it's expensive to ship to Europe. I would suggest trying to set up a US post box with a brand like Ship My Cards or a friend that lives in the US. You can kind of combine shipping to the US and then get it bulked shipped to you at one point so you don't pay shipping every time you buy something. That's what most people do in the collectibles world. It's called shipping my cards. Uh, who wants a cowboy shirt? Let's show it. Wow. Yeah. Generous Gary today. I'm just want to just want to make sure Yesterday you did make us delete the listing. Yeah, exactly. So that's fair. Uh the cowboy considered cowboy appearance of hype horse. I I do love hype horse being here. Who is into the cowboy? Who wants a cowboy? Who wants one of the cowboys at $39? Let me know. Put 39X1, 39X2, 39X3. I think this one might be one of the freshest we've done. I love it. It looks great. Who wants a C? I just need to get a sense. Kids size would just be our small, which might be a little bit big. I just want to get a sense of who's actually interested. Two large astronauts left. If you're a large, sorry, one left. If you're a large, go snag it. Last one on the large. It is good, Mike Dub. It is so good. Wait. Yeah, it's it's hype horse. Yeah, that ain't no mature mule. It's definitely not mature mule. All right, I think we should get cowboy up for a little bit. All right, we are we only have 2 XL's left of the Astronaut. Only two XL's. Yeah, Astro the only 30 left or just 2 XL. That's right. Uh-huh. Astro. Who's a big uncle out there? Who's got a big uncle out there? I do. If you have a big uncle, this is an opportunity to really hook him up. Big uncles love astronauts. This is the word on the street. Only double XXL left. If you have a big ass uncle, who has a big ass uncle out there? Get one. Who's getting one for their big ass uncle? Who's got a big boy in their life? Who's got a big boy in their life and wants a gift? My big uncle. Somebody said, "I got a big ass auntie." All right, auntie. She's allowed too. Aunties can rock it. Aunties can rock it. Who's getting a gift for the big ones in their life? D XXL in the big. I have a big uncle, but he's not but he's not adventurous. Who's Pompeic? Let's get it out there. All right.
