▶ Play Clip"Title promises business Q&A, which is delivered, but heavily padded with product plugs and tangents."
In this episode of Tea with GaryVee, GaryVee answers live questions from his audience on business, entrepreneurship, and life, while also promoting his VeeFriends products and discussing the concept of 'commerce-tainment'. He emphasizes the importance of action, patience, and perspective over fear and self-doubt.
Gary defines commerce-tainment as live shopping focused on entertainment and value, where viewers pay for the experience. He contrasts it with static ads, noting that live interaction and hype drive purchases.
Gary tells a caller he can't motivate him long-term but can provide information that may help forever. He emphasizes that high-paying jobs will always be available for capable people.
Advice on firing early employees who helped build the business but are no longer a fit. Gary stresses candor, respect, and fair severance, and shares his own past mistakes of using money to avoid hard conversations.
Organic social media means posting without using paid media dollars to amplify. Gary clarifies the difference between organic and paid posts.
Gary advises quitting if you feel undervalued at work, and not rolling in 'mud' by complaining. For feeling lesser in social settings, he says to stop valuing others' opinions and not put rooms on pedestals.
Using his own story of working in a liquor store until age 34, Gary tells a 23-year-old to stop judging his actions in too small a window and to build foundation patiently.
Gary encourages a caller to be nicer to himself rather than just confident, noting that even at his career height he spent a year in an office building infrastructure.
Gary advises a mother to stay out of her son's business unless it's egregious, and that the best thing for him is to lose all his money and learn from it.
If the economy crashes, Gary's first move is to stop buying unnecessary items, cancel subscriptions, and go humble. He warns against buying his products if you can't afford them.
Gary tells a struggling comedian that maybe stand-up is just a hobby, and that society's focus on 0.001% success is broken. He emphasizes perspective and that life is only perspective.
GaryVee reinforces that success comes from action, patience, and a healthy perspective, while warning against the pitfalls of comparison and financial irresponsibility.
What does 'organic social media' mean according to GaryVee?
Posting on social media without using paid media dollars to amplify.

[05:05] you can't hear her I can hear her obviously through it but I usually hear means they can't hear you heard it on the show can you guys hear they can hear okay that's fine I'm fine okay they heard they heard
[05:19] that's up cuz I can hear Sammy asks last show you mentioned Commerce tainment can you say more and why does live shopping work there's a lot there so last show I talked about this term Commerce tainment which is we're literally living in the
[05:33] right now like right now as a matter of fact let's do that um what do you got to sell Corso PS yep we have everything that's over there you see there the minis or actually trading cards is what everybody

[06:32] button right but you know ewas direct just bought so I'm having a show but there's content there's excuse me Commerce in it right now what's going on in Social shopping why does it work cuz human behavior likes to buy in real time
[06:46] I personally me Gary who's extremely disciplined and doesn't like to buy stuff have bought things on whatnot and Tik Tok shop in the live experience because of the momentum you're almost paying for an experience like here's a
[06:59] good question what do you get when you go to a stand-up comedy show or a concert or a sporting event what do you get what do you take home nothing physical but you're paying for the entertainment I believe that there's a
[07:13] subconscious underlying layer of the entertainment value that's going on and I think the hype and the excitement this why people do well and not well on QVC some people are good at it some people are not and it's enjoyable it's a it's a
[07:26] more fun way to shop than to see like a picture in your Instagram feed think about the difference think about the difference right now of somebody just seeing a picture of this me and Sid we do our best we have a picture even a
[07:39] video or even a video of me being like this is the next Pokemon get in early for 40 bucks on [ __ ] Gary ve I'm telling you right now you're going to good ad it'll do fine but I'm telling
[07:51] real time right because I can also interact right and so there's just so much to them I don't know I'm really excited about it so Commerce tainment to me is when
[08:04] you're doing a live show selling stuff like I am now but you're more focused on entertainment and value t with Gary ve I'm more focused on bringing people value right now and there's an element of them tipping me for that and wanting
[08:18] to support me right like they know me I'm bringing them value and they're like me buy a $40 pack [ __ ] he might be right I might be happy I have these in a couple years and sell them on the bay the bay is eBay

[10:21] that I'm going to quit my high paying job and start everything from scratch with uh being very unsure about about my income potential so I really need some motivation from you and also the other thing is um I have some money
[10:37] accumulated which I have uh considered as my freeway for the next 6 months or one year to survive and I'm not earning I have great news take family responsibilties and everything I have good news so I also have that feeling
[10:52] that should I go backwards instead of you know or start something else it instead of yeah you you can hear me right yeah I can and slow I can't motivate you out of your

[11:22] forever I have no idea if you're going to pull this off or not but I'm so happy for you because high-paying jobs for someone like you are always going to be there my brother these corporations need you there's going to always be a
[11:36] seat at that cubicle for you so you're going to go do this I have no clue if you're going to win or lose you you even the fact you know it just even if you were meant to win maybe the global economy melts right anything

[12:06] you who wanted to try and did not and every day it eats at them every day you will never have that you may lose your savings but you're a [ __ ] kid you're going to make more savings again so I have no idea in 18 months if

[12:34] embarrassing about not being an entrepreneur [ __ ] [ __ ] I I'm pissed I'm an entrepreneur 90% of the time you know what I mean there is nothing wrong with not being an entrepreneur there's nothing wrong with
[12:47] corporation or company it'd be nice for you to pick a company you enjoy being in that's important that's a that's a real quality of life issue but you'll never quality of life issue but you'll never ever never ever wonder if you could have

[39:18] right wait there's still P okay wait a minute we have to be fair to the OG's the New Kids on the Block are [ __ ] lost for free slabs if you've never bought oh hi hi hi can you hear me I can hear you

[39:48] you actually jumped on my son's uh whatnot live one night he sells sneakers oh yes yes I don't know remember I do I do recall wait wait wait Amanda please
[40:00] do not drive while you're talking to me or don't look at me no no no I'm okay good yes I'm parking okay respect respect all right parking okay respect respect all right go ahead thank you thank you yeah so so
[40:13] he's 14 almost 15 he got into selling Nikes on um whatnot and like he's killing it he's crashing it he's doing a good job I guess my question is like coming from a a kid that like you know you were an entrepreneur from a young
[40:29] age like what did your parents do to help you and support you and what ways like did they blow it cuz I kind of want to not blow it with my kid you know the
[40:41] way that my parents helped me with my entrepreneurship was by staying the [ __ ] it okay yep that's work yep Katie thank you for the raid
[40:55] work yep Katie thank you for the raid the the way that my parents supported my entrepreneurship was by staying the [ __ ] away from it which is the number one hard thing for parents in 2025 parents are too involved y
[41:10] yeah I'm trying to stay out of it my husband helps him find shoes to flip so have a little partnership really cool yeah it's really helped him and you know to get somewhere with this up up front but
[41:25] um yeah okay that's good to know that's good to know and I I mean like he'll go days without doing a show and we'll be like hey you gonna do a show you know we just kind of nudge him but try not to pressure it I guess but I think that's
[41:38] nice I mean I think look look let me say let me say this first of all I love talking about parenting but I never ever will ever give a parent direct advice about their direct situation because every Situation's too nuanced and who
[41:52] the [ __ ] am I I don't know 99.9999999% of it so that's number one 99.9999999% of it so that's number one so I would say that you know as parents we always want to help and you just got to rely on your intuition on when you
[42:06] should be as far away as possible to let him breathe and then it's great that you like look if you're a parent and the kid is doing this thing now he's making money and now he's with that money he's starting to hang around with kids that
[42:21] you don't like that's a place where you can nudge right you know and and and how and how you nud needs to be you know like strategic like one of the I like to talk to kids that are 15 like grown-ups like if I was talking to that kid I like
[42:34] your face off to build this sneaker flipping business now you got a little hang out with dudes that smoke [ __ ] weed all day and be a loser that's a fun like that's now that would work for some kids for other kids maybe that's not
[42:48] work like there's just a lot of different ways to look at it but what I different ways to look at it but what I would say what I would say is that for would say what I would say is that for an entrepreneur he needs to
[43:04] your your husband and you can make in this situation is protect him from losing do you know how many times I made money and lost all of it between 13 and
[43:16] money and lost all of it between 13 and 17 that's why I don't lose it that part the number the best thing that can happen to your son the single best
[43:30] thing is for him to lose all his money that he's made up to this point it is the single best thing that could happen and it's not even close and it's happen and it's not even close and it's not even close he might lose it all good
[43:44] good are you he might lose it all because he's got to pay for a car well that's different that's not losing it that's not what I'm saying no yeah and I car that's like great parenting to begin with but I'm telling you right now the
[43:58] number one thing that you and your husband have to watch out for the best thing that could happen to this kid on earth and it's not even close is he decides to go put all his money into something cuz he wants to get a better
[44:10] car and it goes to zero and you don't buy him a car it's the single best thing happen Okay that's that's actually great advice
[44:22] because the last thing we want to see our kids do is like work so hard and think that it's going to hold him back but really it's it's not correct yeah what do you want him to be a fake
[44:35] entrepreneur no so Entre entrepreneurs [ __ ] lose yeah they do okay cool yeah because this is like new territory it just came out of nowhere I love it and we're like holy
[44:50] [ __ ] he has like everything it takes to do this so awes it's been cool it's awesome but it's wild it just took off so I'm really really proud of him let him keep going let him win and lose let stay the [ __ ] out other than if he's
[45:04] doing something egregious or illegal or something that's against your moral sounds like this thanks so much do you have any advice for him moving forward
[45:20] probably you know I just need to talk to him and understand what his questions are but have him let him email at Gary of vri.com what's his channel so people here can go check him out yeah it's Texas sneakers so TX and
[45:37] then s n KRS it went cool like that I like it listen I got two final things to say number one your boy sounds like you got very lucky in his DNA and that's you and your husband and two it sounds like he's
[45:51] good job now get the [ __ ] out of his way thanks you're welcome all right Gary take care byebye you're great thank you all right that was good stuff all right

[52:07] with everybody everybody now judges themselves on if I do not achieve the 0.001% in the world I'm a loser the [ __ ] the matter with you
[52:31] lost our way I don't know man Sean says it's just hard not to feel that way when you believe it's not hard to feel that way we have a
[52:43] perspective issue that is broken in modern society we have a perspective issue my friends it's very easy to feel that way Sean I suck at most things
[52:57] I'm below average at most things everybody simply a mindset yes Lise therapy reading positivity versus
[53:13] negativity spending time around uplifting like redefining success for yourself putting in the work mentally
[53:26] life is only perspective there is no life like I don't know ready show a hands real quick who's the winner in this scenario somebody makes $280,000 a
[53:38] year has a 100,000 followers on Tik Tok but secretly behind the scenes is miserable doing drugs you know like has bad relationships unhappy or somebody who makes $73,000 a year has 19 followers on Instagram has a tremendous
[53:53] relationship lives paycheck to paycheck and is stressed who who's the who's the better person by the way I don't think there's a yeah I by the way I actually don't think it
[54:06] somebody might say I'd rather have a drug problem than worry about financial stress each week I don't know it's fine you're allowed uh PL platinum dragon you're allowed uh PL platinum dragon says neither I you know my thing is that
[54:19] number two is healthier because when Platinum says neither like you have to understand no matter what your situation is you have stress the second one stress is financial paycheck to paycheck but they have a loving
[54:33] relationship right the first one is fronting for the world and is broken emotionally good how about that person the next day
