[00:01] some Like this whole concept that homes are this remarkable investment has not most people buy a house above their means. They take all their liquid for flexible, which makes them lock into a job that they hate. A lot more people
[00:15] This whole own a home is the American dream and now a home is not affordable. You know this is ALL THE GUYS, WAKE UP. BUT RENTS ARE HIGH, I get there's a million variables to this. Do you have a side hustle? Do you buy $12
[00:31] Uber every day? Like how we spend our money? Like there is no universal. You don't think you need to own a home. But I think you need to figure out how to make money. And there's a lot of ways to make money. Great to see all of you so

[01:10] buying a comic book today that in four years is going to pay their kids college fund. I'm okay with that. They don't need to be smart and savvy trained. in my spitting in my face.
[01:23] And look at this little mug. Little me me in the middle mug. I like that. Little patient pig mug. Look at this little [laughter] patient pig mug. McCormick says only college being funded is your kids. We'll see. I mean, fair
[01:36] business with VFriends, but I do feel really exciting and if you pay attention collectibles, it's been a great run. Let's get into the questions. Let's take over the rest of the show. Timmy, thank you for picking up the comic. Let's go.
[01:49] happening? We have a question from Messiah. I'm 23 years old and I'm tired of being a burden of my parents because they have done so much for me. I got a job at at Amazon and I want to make money with TikTok Shop. But I'm new. I'm
[02:02] words. I want to take risks, but I also want to guarantee a return of >> There's no guarantee TO RETURN THERE'S NO GUARANTEE OF INVESTMENT, MESSIAH. DO Earth tomorrow? We all die. THERE'S NO GUARANTEE of [ __ ] What's a guaranteed?
[02:16] I loved everything that kid said, BUT THEN YOU TRIGGERED ME WITH THAT I WANT A GUARANTEE. THERE'S NO GUARANTEE. HERE'S the only guarantee. If you're scared of losing, you lost. Keep going.
[02:29] So this is not give you more like any advice. Be open and need to get rich or die trying. Yes, here's the advice. There's no safe. There's no guarantee. anything and you want a guarantee. You're scared of everything.
[02:42] parents. There's some tough love. You literally just told me you're not scared of anything because of my words and then you literally delivered guaranteed, which is the number one word of the scared.
[03:01] I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS IS. I have no idea why this is a part of my life, but when I'm on stage and I do this, you know it's time. It's time.
[03:15] How many people know that move? I'm not scared, Dan. Honestly, the only thing I wellness of my family cuz I know I'm not in control of that. of uh disease that pops up, right? I'm not in
[03:29] disease that pops up, right? I'm not in control. Everything else, going. Go ahead, Raghu. What's your response to the current >> I think a lot of people should not buy their own home. I don't think homes are
[03:43] some Like this whole concept that homes are this remarkable investment has not I think most people are not disciplined and they buy a house above their means. They take all their liquid for the down payment, which makes them not flexible,
[03:56] which makes them lock into a job that they hate. I I think a lot more people This whole own a home is the American dream and now a home is not affordable. You know this is all THE [ __ ] [laughter] [ __ ] GUYS, WAKE UP.
[04:14] humility kicks it like there's a million variables to this. Do you have a side hustle? Do you buy $12 you know, Starbucks coffees? Are you taking an Uber every day? Like how we spend our money? Like I don't know, man.
[04:27] Lipper says I lost 100k on Pokémon and millions of people have made 100k. That means you played it wrong. There is no universal. good at the thing. So that's what I think, Raghu. Like I don't think you
[04:39] need to own a home. But I think you need to figure out how But I think you need to figure out how to make money. I'll give you one. Everybody Everyone who's on here, do you have 50 followers

[09:04] happy you're here. Fire away. What's your question? So you talked a lot about the individual empire and also like social shopping and um AI influencer agency. I love all three ideas. I would like to
[09:18] know how would you decide which of those three to focus on your question. When you like three ideas, here's what you do. You write all three ideas on a piece of paper.
[09:32] You fold it. You put it in a hat. You pick one and you do that. When you like two ideas, here's what you do, everyone. If you like two ideas, here's what you do. You take a coin
[09:45] You take a coin and you flip it. This whole idea of like I've got four ideas, Gary, and I can't get pick one or I have three ideas. Friends, when you like a lot of ideas,
[09:59] a lot of times it's one of two things happening. One, insecure and you don't actually want to do the thing. You'd rather tell people that you have so many ideas so that you don't have to try, so you
[10:12] don't have to lose in front of them. Friends, everything is about losing in front of others. The whole world. I'm going to I'm going there. I'm going there.
[10:26] Friends, I'm getting in nice and close. Okay, here we go. We're going in nice Friends, we're going to do it. We're question. Here it is. We're just doing it once and for all. This is it. This is
[10:39] Literally all of life. This is it. This is the moment. Like this is the stuff So, I'm just giving it to you while you're alive. This is a Wiffle ball. I'm going to hold the good luck Wiffle ball while I say this. This is the important
[10:51] ball is always a good idea. All right, here we go. Here is fully life. I'm giving it to you once and for all. Life is fully predicated on your ability
[11:06] to lose in front of other people. Every one of you want, tummy, because you have way too much energy put
[11:22] thinking about what other people think about your losses. This is it. The second you realize the reason things are not going well for you is because you actually care what strangers
[11:37] or even worse, what people that you don't even like or want to be like, think about your failures. You did not learn how to get comfortable with losing as a child. You did not understand that losing was
[11:50] the great thing. In fact, if you're under 40, unfortunately most parents raising during your era thought that losing was bad, so we made eighth place trophies, so we fought our fights for our kids, we over coddled,
[12:04] and we taught all of you to be scared of losing and to think that losing is bad. My tips, Luke Hillman says, "Any tips?" Absolutely. Start losing. Start playing more sports and losing. Start trying things and having it fail.
[12:18] And instead of being embarrassed of your failures, your failed business, your failed relationships, start getting comfortable with it. Start realizing that everybody else loses, too. Start becoming a strong human being.
[12:32] You have to understand that losing is the gift. Losing is the good. Life is about losing constantly with the occasional win. And that's a beautiful thing. But all of you were taught the other way.
[12:46] you that fell in love with losing as a kid or got lucky enough that you grew up in a losing environment. Shout-out to all of you. Losing My friends, this is the whole punchline. Losing is the game. Losing's the good stuff.
[13:00] Losing's the delicious. That's it. Did everybody understand? Did everybody understand? Like did you get it? Like do you understand?
[13:14] fan, Court? I grew up as big of a Yankees fan as a Jets fan, but the Yankees won and that made it less interesting for I like the losing. Yeah, friends. Everyone's laughing right
[13:27] now. I When all of you are like, "Oh!" When When Bills fans and Patriot fans make fun of me, like, "Aha, Jets!" I'm like, "No, no. Aha, you!" Seth, do you chat right now that get all their self-esteem from a team team that they
[13:40] self-esteem from a team team that they cheer for? Patriot fans, Bills fans, you didn't win! The Bills players won. You're a fan. Don't say we won. They won. You didn't win [ __ ]
[13:54] fans, like, "I'M A WINNER!" YOU'RE NOT A WINNER. WINNER. You're not a winner. life. I went to a Patriots-Jets game and this Patriot fan was drunk and just all
[14:08] over me. Just [ __ ] on me. And I had to be quiet because I didn't want to get watch the game. And at the end, the Patriots won. He's And then I looked at him and said, "Bro, you're confused.
[14:22] You didn't win. They won." And then everybody was paying attention around me and I just destroyed his life. of the great moments of my life. All right, LET'S KEEP IT GOING.
[14:37] BY THE WAY, ALL FANS OF BAD TEAMS, they won is the move for all those fans that They won. They won. Steeler fans and these Bill fans that come and razz me at the game. Man, you
[14:53] suck. No, no. I don't suck. My team sucks, but you're not good. Your team's good. I'm telling y'all, this fan stuff, it's the most fun when you tell them No, no,
[15:07] the most fun when you tell them No, no, no. They won. Dick. Ah, man. That was You could see, like, I actually understand envy and jealousy. in sports life, yeah, I know.
[15:21] winning franchises. That was therapeutic. Ah, all those Bulls fans in my high school in the '90s, you're not my high school in the '90s, you're not from Chicago, dick.
[15:35] team out of town is loser move of all time. If your buddy lives in New York and he's a Chiefs fan, he's a [ __ ] loser.
[15:51] stuff. This is good stuff. If you live in Dallas and your homie grew up in Dallas and they're an Eagles fan, they lost. They will not win in life. You got to be a fan of your home
[16:05] team. On the record, plenty of people have like weird ties, but I love when people like, "Oh, my grandma once visited Oklahoma City." No, no. You're insecure and you need a third-party's winning to give you
[16:19] Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. [screaming] Uh-oh. All right, let's keep it going. Caden's
[16:32] asking, "You just turned 50. I'm about to turn 37. What would be the advice you would have given yourself 13 years ago in retrospect?" And I Listen, I'm one of the most consistent content creators in the world. My belief systems are really
[16:46] which is all of you are crippled by insecurity all of you are crippled by insecurity about many things. Uh, random strangers' opinions about your looks, how much money someone else makes,
[17:02] fact, one of my biggest pet peeves in the world, get ready to clip this. How the world, get ready to clip this. How on earth did 8.3 billion people decide to focus on 83 people that are billionaires and the most attractive and
[17:16] the most unbelievable people on Earth and decide their life sucks because of 83 people instead of looking at the other 8.3 billion people? We've completely lost our way.
[17:28] Nobody else's life, happiness, success, beauty, fame has anything to do with you. And if you're 37 years old and you think you're finished and it's over, well then you are hanging around the
[17:42] wrong people. You are listening to the wrong people. In fact, many of you, let's get into some real talk here. The great mistake of the 1,200 people, the 1,148 people that are watching this morning right now, the greatest mistake
[17:54] is they are listening to people to people that they don't even want to be like. mom, who's also cynical, or your aunt, or your boss, or your coworker, the
[18:10] amount of you that listen and believe people that you don't even want to be like is blowing my mind and upsetting me.
[18:28] You need to start paying attention to people you want to be like. But people that you want to be like are pushing love, not hate. People that you want to be like are choosing accountability, not blame. People that you want to be like
[18:41] are talking about hard work, not blaming a system. People that you want to be like are talking about patience, not instant gratification. talking about hard stuff, not easy stuff.
[18:54] And that's it. That's it, friends. I got nothing else for you at 9:21 a.m. Eastern. Stop listening to people that are losing, that are trying to misery loves company you, and start putting positivity, accountability,
[19:09] O. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ABOUT HERE. YOU like that, Erin? That was a good one. A O. You know what A O is? If you've been watching me on TikTok live, WHICH IS A OBSESSION of mine going into 2026, I
[19:22] will be live all the time, so please follow me. Top left corner, hit my face, follow me, and hit the bell. A O stands for accountability and optimism. Accountability and optimism. Accountability and optimism. It's on me
[19:36] and we can do it. It's on me and we can do it. It's my fault, not their fault, do it. It's my fault, not their fault, and I know I can. because you don't want that heat, you
[19:50] You want to be accountable. You like laying in the mud and pointing fingers mom and dad. Well, then you can go to the next FYP. You can swipe away from me right now. I don't want you to cuz I want to grab
[20:03] you and shake you and get you to happiness and lack of anxiety. I want that so bad. I'm so grateful for my joy, my peace of mind, my accountability. I want that for you.
[20:17] I want this for you so bad. I want this for you so bad. heat. You're like, "Screw this guy. Easy for that. You're a white male." You can excuse me up.
[20:34] where I'm from. Actually, I got a good one. Check this Let me show you where I'm from. Because Because my cousin Bobby found a photo of me.
[20:49] know Let me show you where I'm actually from. even by my family, until the other day. Look at this shack. I look like a This is This is 1976 in Russia, but it looks like 1922 in
[21:04] Raghav, I'm from the Look at this Look at this. where I'm from. I'm from the dirt. That's me, by the way. Look at the sourpuss. I knew I didn't like Russia.
[21:18] Look at this little guy. He doesn't want to be there. He wants to be in America. Russia." But look at this. Raghav, this is where I'm from. Yeah, bro. I need you to
[21:31] your face, Raghav. That's where I'm from. Dirt. >> parents' pictures. Dirt, bro. I'm from dirt. You can do this. [clears throat] You're right, Dustin. My parents made the move,
[21:45] and we lived in more dirt. Studio apartment, Queens. Grandma gets mugged excited, America. Like it was a struggle, but we worked. Let's keep it going. How many people have never seen me before, just FYP'd,
[22:03] and are feeling some value here? Say first time, good time. Thank you, Lux. Now, let's go the other way. OGs, who's been watching me for more than 5 years? Put a five in here. My plan for 2026 is to be live. Please
[22:18] learn about VFriends. If you're Pokémon, Marvel, sports card, watch, sneaker collector, learn about my world, please. Go ahead, Raghav. Neriah, what's the next question? Got some relationship advice question. Josh, after being
[22:31] mistaken in a relationship, I'm left waiting for the other party to decide whether we'll continue. My instincts say we shout, but I suspect the wiser move going to. How do I deal with the waiting in between, and when is it time to make
[22:44] the mistake. You need to wait. And you just sit. And you know, life is life. Like that person may not be able And everything moves on. Maybe they will, and your relationship is stronger.
[22:58] But I think you got to sit in the pain. When you make mistakes, you're supposed to sit in pain.
[23:19] it out. When he says make a move, whether that's relationship, that's on you. Relationship advice is hard, but I think understanding that when you make a mistake, you have to feel the pain is a
[23:34] great thing to learn. This is why I love sports. Losing is good. You played, you lost, you got to sit with it. You can be a psycho like I was as a kid and say, "We got to play again." Like nobody ever like to Like my cousin My
[23:48] when I was little because if I lost in pool to him, "Play again. Play again. Play again." That's tenacity. That's learning. You know, a lot of kids By the way, if you're a parent that has a kid that shies away from playing board games
[24:01] insecurity. You want to teach kids to learn to love to lose. My relationship with losing, my love of losing, love of losing, is incredibly exciting to me.
[24:15] Jared asked, "Even in the next 10 years, what are the great industries I should position my kids toward?" Next 10 years, kids. I really like
[24:28] HVAC, electricians. You know, I like the manual labor thing cuz I think the data centers with AI Arg, I'm a pirate. I think a lot of people are going to really see that. Number two, the Actually, before I answer the other
[24:41] two, the real answer is you don't position your kids into an money in 10 years. You position your kids into an industry that they are clearly showing interest in because passion is the fuel to hard work. Hard
[24:57] passion is the fuel to hard work. Hard work is how good stuff happens. an entrepreneur, to be an electrician, to be anything else I want them to be. I
[25:09] want them to like their game the way I like my game. Whether that's a teacher, a guidance counselor, a softball teacher, counselor, a softball teacher, a gardener, a ceramics instructor, a ski
[25:22] lift operator, a coffee Like I don't just like your life. We've become so materialistic, so keeping up with the Joneses. Every I here, and meanwhile continue to like strive
[25:39] Birkin bags and a million Instagram followers, and they don't realize what The problem is we've lost our way from simplicity.
[25:56] which means self-esteem doing something they like. Real self-esteem, not over-coddling Real self-esteem, not over-coddling bullcrap modern parenting bullcrap,
[26:09] where you fight their fights for them. Kids need to lose. In fact, I believe every boy between ages of 5 and 12 should get punched directly in the face I feel like that is the step one of becoming an actual man.
[26:23] Like, "Gary, violence, blah blah blah." Okay. Raise your kid the way you want. But I think when a 7-year-old boy runs his mouth, and the other boy punches him in the face, it's a good life lesson.
[26:38] now? You all grew up over-coddled and never >> [laughter] >> Ah, man, I love it. Because when you got punched in the face, you're respectful. I don't know.
[26:52] One man's point of view. One man's point of view. By the way, I'm not advocating violence. What are we talking about? Talking about old 1980s dirt in the hand kind of stuff. Just a little balance. Parents
[27:06] going to school yelling at teachers cuz their kid got a B and they want an A. Over-coddled. Got 27-year-old grown men walking around New York City with their mom having Life360 on them, asking them why they're still out at 11:00 p.m.
[27:20] why they're still out at 11:00 p.m. We need men. Everyone's like, "Everything's all screwed up. Let's blame it on social media." Nah. Let's Let's blame it on parenting. Let's blame it on
[27:35] eighth-place trophies. Let's blame it on running our mouth. Let's blame it on people coming on people's social media platforms and being negative on them. I don't know. Of course, Wash. You don't punch children.
[27:48] When I said When I said a punch, I meant an 8-year-old against an 8-year-old. All right, let's keep it going. Let's go. I got something. Okay, Raghav. We got a question from Adam, which is, "I've noticed you're on the Sora 2
[28:03] thoughts on how to engage with an audience authentically on a tool where everything is AI-generated?" Well, ideas are coming from humans. Like people have been making videos with me on Sora 2. If everybody goes to my
[28:17] Schmista Stam, if you're asking me why I'm calling the very popular app it's because I don't want the algorithm here to hurt me. you here on TikTok. So, if you all go to my Schmista Stam,
[28:31] you'll see my latest post, and the link in my bio is to an AI-generated social network. Sora 2 is going after that space. I'm very excited about it. The AI ideas are authentic cuz they're coming from a human. The output
[28:47] is obviously generated, but like I don't know. Like when we Photoshop, when we use Photoshop and we put edits on top of I mean, what's authentic? People use unlimited Raghav, do you know all these ladies are trying to trick us
[29:01] with all their filters and all these angles? I mean, people People know how to angle as if they've been doing glute exercises for 6 years. Is that authentic?
[29:14] What's authentic? I mean, I actually think the idea is authentic. All the videos that people have made with me. And by the way, all of you can go to my Schmistagram, hit the link in the bio, download the new app,
[29:27] and it's unbelievable. So, that's it. I think we're going to forget about AI's authenticity pretty quickly. I do think that videos of people saying things they didn't say. There's a TikTok ad running right now with me promoting a product,
[29:40] and it looks like me. So, there is going to be that authentic with. All right, let's keep it going. Johnny asks, "Break down the down skill set required to be a great content creator on social versus skill set to be
[29:53] creative. [clears throat] So, for example, Seth is in the building, lead creative in our world, great Mad Men Madison Avenue dude, also has you know, hired him. What I'm pushing him and everybody at Vayner to understand, and
[30:08] you know this, Raghu, you and Nera as you know, as Team Gary has leveled up in to where we were, we become hyper-focused less on operations or other things. We're just focused on views, right? And so, what does that
[30:22] mean? That means thumbnail understanding. That means platform understanding. What What do I mean by platform understanding? That means understanding that Instagram might be valuing carousels more than videos,
[30:34] videos more than pictures, 10-second videos more than 1-minute videos. Thumbnails. How do you stop someone? Do you have the strategic and creative skill to stop someone in 1 second, right? Do you keep them engaged? Three
[30:46] it up. It's not something we've cracked yet. I'm trying to understand is it 3 4 5 6 7 8 seconds into a video? Do we need to do another You know this, we've never Gary Team Gary meeting. I want something to pop up
[31:01] 6 seconds in to distract them, to throw them off, pops up, follow me on Sora. Like first five people that DM me comic books right now will get a free comic. Just that pops up. Remember old pop-up
[31:14] video on VH1? Like what are we doing 5 10 15 seconds in? For brands, 5 seconds into the video, DM us and we'll send you a No one in my company's thinking about that yet. We've got to get more advanced
[31:27] in that skill. That is a content creator, right? A live shopping person needs to understand how to get people excited about buying something. Right now I have a comic book pinned. Do notice what I'm doing right now. I'm
[31:40] post-producing. Above me right now is sold items on the bay. Raghu, you see that? This is sold items on the bay. That's a $3,000 trading card. This is watching right now and you're intrigued by the VFriends things up above and
[31:56] what is this VFriends thing? It miss Gary V's Pokémon thing. Has the sold items intrigued you, right? Has it been intrigued, right? Mel's Heart Studio, John [ __ ] People are intrigued. That may get them to understand not my
[32:09] hyperbole saying, "Hey, buy my stuff." No, no, we're actually building it. It's been building for years. They might have heard about it, but they might not fully it going. What can I answer for you? What's the next question? We got a
[32:23] question from Bhumair. "I'm an electrical engineering graduate. I want field, but I have a fear that if I keep changing jobs that it will make a bad reputation on a CV. Is it okay to change a job again if it doesn't suit you and
[32:37] >> This is one of the things that is the pet peeve of my life. Your CV {slash} resume having different jobs, jumping around, different industries has historically been frowned upon. That was propaganda of corporations to make
[32:51] idea what any of you Like I don't know anything. IN FACT, SETH WAS AT ANOMALY because he was at A COMPANY TOO LONG. I'm obviously joking. I do, you know, as a business owner, you do like to see
[33:05] longevity and loyalty cuz you value that, you're looking for that. But I been at six different places six months a piece because I'm a human being and I'm empathetic and I understand some people need to do that. Everyone, if you
[33:20] are not quitting your bullcrap job right now, JOB RIGHT NOW cuz you're scared of how it's going to look on your resume, it's going to look on your resume, quit.
[33:39] ask me what college Court, Train, or Seth went to, no idea. We don't even require a college degree at VaynerX. It's just not even on The rules have changed. Yes, this guy again, my bucket list 88.
[33:53] It's good to see you. Good morning. Enzeda, college isn't a scam. College is a problem for creative and entrepreneurial people who collect debt to go to college. If your mommy and daddy pay for college,
[34:06] it's the best. It's a 4-year vacation of pure fun and debauchery. [clears throat] and you're creative you're in deep doo-doo. It's one of the great mistakes.
[34:23] All right, let's keep it going. Maurice is asking, "After spending 18 years in the corporate world, I've decided to quit and you played a role in this bold decision, but I'm unsure how to unlearn my corporate mindset. How can I discover
[34:36] genuinely enjoy doing given that it's unfamiliar to explore this?" I'm going This is super weird and everybody follow with me. I've just been diagnosed with a mind-muscle issue to my left glute. Have you guys noticed that when I take a
[34:51] photo, my left leg pops out? Yes. Do you know that after years of believing that that's because it's genetics for my great-grandfather cuz there's photos of him doing it, that in the last 3 weeks, it's because I don't
[35:04] have mind-muscle memory between my brain and my left glute, it's fully shut off, which is why I have back issues, my adductor and QL compensate. So, literally, I have glute amnesia. Like I can't connect it. I am working on that
[35:19] and I'm I'm working through every day the PT. And so, [clears throat] I'm really excited about that. It's I've already paid enormous dividends on it. And the same thing for this gentleman. He needs to put in the PT. He needs to
[35:33] put in the hard work that does not come natural to his brain to explore new things. He needs to sign up for free tango classes. He needs to go to MasterClass and buy seven
[35:45] You have to force yourself to be uncomfortable. Everything that is not natural is hard. You have to force yourself into it. And it's discipline. This morning I did not want to wake up at 6:30 and do PT.
[36:04] before Thanksgiving. All these [ __ ] are not even working I'm like, PT and I got all these meetings. Like You know, like I really that's like I wake up like that, too. But that's like for Seth. Come, human.

[37:48] point in a verbal, fun way. Chris G says, "Bro started own comic books." Respect Chris, but I don't think so, my guy. I think it's the other way. I think I'm building the next Pokémon and I
