Gary Vee's Live Q&A: Chase Your Dreams, Ignore the Haters

Yeah. No, it wouldn't be that easy. Yep. 12794673279. Um, what's going on? It's We've been having an issue with this phone where it doesn't seem like it wants to pull the audio through this as soon as we start, which is like a new thing that's happening. Okay. So, what's happening? And then it stops working. Yeah, it it works in test and then not live. Interesting. All right. So, well, I think we keep Let me see if

I can hear this real fast. Okay. Check. Check. Check. I can hear that in my mic. I know you can hear that. But check. No, it's not. It's not coming through the road cer. So, he won't be able to hear guest through the roadcaster. So, the best option is just unplugging him from unplugging. Use a phone. Yeah. Okay. So, unplug this. Yes, sir. All right, that's it. What about Yeah, turn this up when it's up. Okay,

that's fine. All right, everybody. Uh, good morning, good afternoon. Can you guys go live on all the social? Um, big shout out to John on YouTube, Karolina on YouTube. Hope everybody's super well. If you are uh on the show for the first time, what's up Ryu guy 2228? Uh Chef Ross, first show from Oklahoma. Mariah, great to see you. Um if it is your first show on whatnot, please say what's up. Please say what's up. Please

say what's up. All right. Do we have mugs? Do we have what what do we have? We have nothing. No, I have a mug for you right now. You have manga packs. Manga packs. Okay. And you have the same. Okay. Uh Aaron, I'm ready to go. Let's get into the show. I've got a timely question. It's graduation time for so many high school and college kids. What's your one hint of advice for those hitting that milestone

this weekend? Um, look, I think I've been very consistent on the issue of what should kids be thinking about. My number one piece of advice if you're graduating high school or college is that you should be as high risk as possible. meaning 18 to 30 is about dreams. It has to be. And I know so many people that I'm looking at right here did not go down that path like like and all of you are so

young and yet it is so obvious to me that this is still not an accepted point of view. But I really believe that 18 to 20 has to has to be about dreams because my belief is that dreams are funded with humility. Meaning if you were humble enough to eat and live shitty at 22, you can literally ch like again everyone thinks about this. I I can't do it. I have to get a job. And I

and I keep going to you can do it because 18 to 30 is the only time that most people find it acceptable to live with two or three or four other people. And I know people do it in New York City. People come to New York City and LA and get roommates cuz it's so expensive to chase their dream. But people don't do it as much in places that are not as expens like you you have

less roommate mentality of like I'm going to live in Tulsa, Oklahoma with five other roommates. But that is out there for everyone 18 to, you know, 30. And I, you know, my biggest piece of advice is if you're not going to follow or chase your dream of uh what you want to be when you grow up from 18, you know, to 25, like when are you going to do it? because you're definitely not going to do

it when you have kids. Can everybody in the whatnot chat, by the way, everybody on regular social media, everywhere else, you can see there's a huge yellow bar, garyv.com/whatnot, please go there right now. Please join us on whatnot. This is where you can ask your question. If you have a question, please ask the question in the whatnot chat right now with a question mark. Um, and let us know. Um, I just I don't understand if you

do not chase your dream 18 to 30, when are you going to chase it? Because can everybody in the whatnot chat right now who's over the age of 35 and have children, can you please leave a comment right now and explain to everybody in the chat how real what I'm saying is how literally utterly impossible it is to actually chase your dream once you feel that enormous stress and responsibility of taking care of your children. until

you have children. Even when you have a spouse, you are still in play in a different way. But the second that kid comes along, I'm telling you, it gets hard to really go there. And 18 to 25 is when you can literally literally live humbly. But the problem is everyone's so insecure and they want to show people they're successful and they want to buy stuff and so they sell out their dream to seem responsible or successful

to parents, friends, and strangers, which [ __ ] my head up. So that's my advice, Aaron. Be be a dreamchaser. Thank you, Devin, for downloading whatnot right now. Actually, Roit Crow, get over here.

And everybody in social, you have to go to garyb.comot to get over here um and be on board. All right, let's go to

the next question. Aaron, one more from you. Um, how do you get past the what's your experience question when starting a company? One more time. How do you get past the what's your experience question when starting a company? People judging them for not having experience. Oh, no. I understand. My faces of disgust. Aaron, do you know that most great companies of all time were started by people that never did anything before? Wh what's what's my answer?

Nothing. I'm not answering any. I guess are they asking from the context of raising capital or is it about judgment? You don't know. I don't know. So, you can answer whichever way. I'll answer both of them. If you're raising capital, you tell the person, I don't have any experience, but I believe I can do this. Mark Zuckerberg had no experience. Elon Musk had no experience when he was a co-founder of PayPal. Like, no. What? Like, most

people don't have experience. That would be my answer. That would be for an investor. 99% of investors will say no anyway. This is just one of the reasons they would choose to say no to you. And then as far as judgment of others, I would tell them to go [ __ ] themselves nicely. Like, who gives a like somebody casting judgment like, "Hey, you can't do that. You don't have experience." I would say, "Thanks, Sally, but [ __ ] you.

I don't care about your opinion. You're not an entrepreneur. You're not living the life that I want to live." Because you know who would never say that, Aaron? Me. I would never say to someone, "You don't have any experience." I may say, "Hey, go and work for someone that's like this if you want to get some experience to mitigate some of the risk of you doing this." But I wouldn't judge them, you know. So, all right.

Do we have anybody on camera? Yeah. You're going to hear the audio from the phone, not the headphones for this one. I'm going to hear it. Yeah, I understand. Thank you. Joey, [Music] bro. Oh my gosh. Gary Vee, what's up, man? What's up, Joey? I mean, Joey, who did you think was Who do you think was going to be on the other side of the camera? You pressed the button, you're watching the show. It's me. Oh,

dude. I'm so stoked. I How we doing, brother? Sorry. I I know we don't got time, so I'll ask you my question real quick. I'm part of a super successful family business, but I want to follow my dream and do music. I know that's a real risky route. I've been doing music for 7 years trying to do both. You can't serve two masters. Is it okay to leave the family business to follow your dream? That's what

I want to know. It's not okay. It is preferred. Gotcha. It is I mean it's you you already know that this is what you want to do. What's the downside? The downside is you leave, you fail in the music thing and then maybe I you know I don't know all the dynamics. It's harder for you to come back into the family business and get the same financial weight because you had left and it's not fair for

you to come back and get the same cut of this of the slice of the action. Would that be correct? Yeah, correct. Well, I I don't know. I'm I'm almost like the vice president right now. So, if I leave, it's going to really shake things up. That's the problem I'm dealing with. Well, who's the president? Pops. Pops is the president. Well, it sounds like everything's going to be okay then. Yeah. Is Pops going to be pissed?

Absolutely. Super mad because Pops is ready to chill and wants you to take the president role basically. Yeah. He's He's ready to lay back. And he just watched me. He He always tells people like I couldn't find anyone to do it, so I had to make one myself, which is me, right? That's very cute. I'm super good at it. Y, but I I don't feel the passion for it. But I know you were in a family

business. So, how did you like how did you leave? What's your story? I left because my father won twice. I I built his business for him to such a high level and he was still young and he wanted to be the man because I was the man cuz I was really the president. He was the vice president cuz I'd been really running the business for a decade and he wanted to be in, you know, he wanted

to be the man again. Plus, he knew that I would never really leave. Like I wrote the wine text that's about to go out that just went out 30 minutes ago. I literally wrote it in my office 45 minutes ago. So, I really hooked up Pops like in a huge way. Plus, I built out a corporation. Big shout out to Lang 31363 with a big win. Low Pang. Low Pang. Um, so my dad was in a

really good spot because I also had Brandon who was ready to take on my responsibilities when I went to go do Vayner. Who would take on your responsibilities if you left? Um, they would have to find someone to be completely honest. Who's the number three right now if you're the two? Uh number three is probably my brother who's working up. He just started like a year ago. Yes. Bush. A lot to learn. A lot to learn.

Um you know, one of the ways to learn is to be forced into it. Yeah, that's true. Are you starting to resent your dad in any way? No, we No. I You know, I love my pops. I love the opportunity. He always tells me that like, hey, you can always do this and then you can do your music on the side. I'm like, I want to I want to sell on stadiums. And it's not even about

that. Like success is awesome. I I really hope I get to success, but success is more just being able to follow the dreams and be doing it, you know, cuz as long as you're doing it and living happily, then you made it, you know. Are you Are you good? Are you good at it? The music, dude. I'll write you a V friend song right now for any character. You give me 3 days and I'm going to

blow your mind. That is not a problem. Okay. Well, let me give you a character right now. Here we go. Three days to write a song. It's going to be card number three. Whatever card number three, not the gutsy yeto, not the cynical cat. You are writing not the dynamic dino, which is number four. You are writing a song about the mindful makawa. I need a song about the Mindful Minawa in 72 hours. All right, give

me your email you want me to send it to you and it's going to Ready? The email is garyvfriends.com. Got it. I will play your song. You're going to write it, right? Yeah, I'm going to write it. I'll write the beats. I'll write everything for you. It's going to be a a banger. I promise you. All right. Then we need someone to actually record it, right? so we can play it. I will get Mike Boyd and

Walsh to find an up andcoming artist to record it and we will play it on this show in the next 30 days. Deal. Deal. Brother, listen. I think you can't I think you can't live with regrets. I think you should have a real combo with your brother and dad and say, "Here's the following. I'm going for a sbatical for a year to chase my dream cuz I don't want to be mad at you two men eventually.

I may not feel it now, but if I never go for this run, I'm eventually going to be upset. Pops, I'm going to take one year, one full year to chase this dream, and then I will evaluate where I'm at professionally at the end of the year. Um, bro, I am here for you in my downtime. Even though I'm going to work on music 20 hours a day, in the 4 hours, I'm going to try to

help you speed up your learnings so you can hold it down in the in the next year. What kind of business is it? It's financial planning. Financial planning, life insurance, tax arbitrage strategies, all that good stuff. Yeah. I think you say to pops and brother, "Brother, you're going to have to level up. Pops, I'm taking a year. I've given you how many years have you worked for dad?" Um, I think about 11 years now. Great. You

can say, "Pops, Pops, I've given you 11 years, and I need this one year for me, and that's it." Okay. All right. Okay. And the and the email is garyvfriends.com, right? Yes, sir. Okay. 2 hours. It'll be in your inbox. Gary. Can't wait. See you. Aaron, I'm ready for next question. Okay. Uh Doug asks, "I don't really need to use AI, right? Because I own a local restaurant and it's all face to face, real people, real

moments. So, how would AI actually apply to what I do?" Does he want customers? Yes. Does does he have to make a menu? Yes. You know, do do people place reservations on the internet for his place? Yes. Yeah. He he needs AI. I don't really have much energy to say anything else. Like there's not a single business on earth that won't need AI. Everything every AI is like internet. He also thought he didn't need the internet.

You know that this is what people said to me, Aaron. Literally, actual restaurant owners told me at the Springfield Chamber of Commerce, they don't need a website. They're like, "People come to my restaurant. People have my menu at their house." Like, I'm in the yellow pages. This I've I've seen this movie before. You see this gray? You see this gray? I've seen this movie before. You [ __ ] AI is coming. It's here. It's not even coming. Use

it. You don't have to do anything like No, I mean he's not using AI right now, but you're leaving opportunity and profit and growth on the table if you don't use AI, you know. So, all right. Give me up. What's that? Give me Oh, yeah. Another giveaway. Let's do another pack of Chrome. I'm obsessed with these Chrome cards. Who in the chat has these Chrome cards?

Um, I feel behind and like I'm in a

midlife crisis. [ __ ] you, Jeff. You're 40. Go ahead. Just started this content uh to build a coffee shop in honor of my brother. With my skill sets, I've built other people's dreams and put mine in the back. What's the way to cut all clients and focus on mine now? By cutting all clients I mean this show. I love this show and I hate this show. Read that back one more time nice and slow. Okay. Um I

feel behind and like I'm in a midlife crisis. Just started this content to build a coffee shop in honor of my brother. With my skill sets, I've built other people's dreams and put mine in the back. What's the way to cut all clients and focus on mine? Now, I I guess he's talking about like still needing the income from the clients before we can go all in. But the way you do that in anything in life

is you start making more income on your thing. So, it's just a slow burn. It's like you just got to give the coffee shop more effort so that money comes in from the coffee shop, which allows you to take one less client, one less client, one less client. The end. It's not complicated. It really isn't. I don't know. People are looking for what Erin, do you know what people are doing on this show and with me

for the last decade and what's happening overall in real life? People are asking me for permission. They're not asking me questions. They're asking for permission. They're looking for my validation. They're looking for a push. Like that's all that's happening here. And what I'm trying to say is like listen to me in my content. I'm telling all of you that fear is fake. You're scared to fail in front of people. That is your problem. This is You

can wrap up my entire being on the internet to say, "Choose self-esteem versus insecurity therapy exercise motivational content, the people you hang out with, whatever it takes for you to become more confident. And confidence comes from your capacity to not care about other humans judgment. And I remind you that every other human is flawed and has shortcomings too. And so you're allowed to fail. And if they make fun of you, that means they suck. I don't

know what else to tell you, you know? So that's it. Like that's it. All right. Next question. left on your pack giveaway. You know, Yep. I'm going to rip it once it's won. We have 1 minute left. Somehow miraculously, this pack is what? 50 bucks. Yep. This is a $50 pack of cards or so. $40 pack of cards. Actually, 30, right? Oh, this a blaster. So, 20 10 15. Oh, here we go. It's free money. Oh,

no. Oh, no. Is right. What up? What's up? What's your names? Sarah and Evan with a B. Nice. Eban. Sarah, pleasure. What can I What can I answer for you? First of all, thank you for all you do. Thank you for encouraging the world together and whatnot. It's changed our life. I'm sure you hear that time and time again, but um long story short, we are a gourmet deep dish and stuffed cookie company. Um we've been

in business a year. We've been mainly direct to consumer. Um whatnot has kept us afloat and beyond. Um, we just moved into a big facility, so we're ready to increase demand. Um, our north star is corporate gifting and with that we want to leverage LinkedIn. Hold on one second. Win Winchester collects. Congratulations. I will open this after I answer this. All right. So, corporate gifting heard. Talk to me about whatnot real quick. You got on whatnot.

Why, dude? Cuz you like if you don't do it, you're missing out. Yeah, you were drilling us for sure. And what and what is and what has happened on whatnot like how much revenue are you doing? Give me some for instance 10k a month um after about two months of being on. So we've been on about 6 months. Um and we you know our our main mainly our sales were coming from farmers markets. But in November

I was like yo we got to we got to take the leap of faith. We got to quit do this thing full-time and then whatnot. Our followers everything skyrocketed. Repeat customers raving reviews. Um we lately cook out of a commercial kitchen. you know, we bake, so we're we're licensed and insured. We can ship nationwide. So, that was our leverage point that we're completely legit um as far as like shipping food and things. So, um it yeah,

it it it wants more. We want to be on more. We just got to the point to where we were too busy, so we could only do what we could. We made quick moves, moved into a big facility. We're hiring a team, like I said. Um and now we can we can handle the demand and we want we want more. So, we're going, okay, corporate gifting is definitely, you know, the north star for us. How often

are you live on Whatnot? Uh, we were going live every single night, 7:00 p.m. Mountain time, but then once market season hit here in Colorado, it just kind of got too hard to keep that up. You do know that you can hire interns to go live for you. Absolutely. Yeah, maybe. Not maybe, Eban B. Love it. That's that's absolutely on the radar. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Before you get into ideology, I want to talk

about practicality. Whatnot is working for you, but you're stretched thin. So, you're the we're not doing as much whatnot as we were. And you were doing 10,000 a month by being on whatnot for how many hours? Let's break it down. You were doing seven to what mountain time? Uh, like Yeah, like an hour and a half shows usually, right? And how many like real talk here cuz I want to really help you. Hour and a half

shows. How many days a week were you really doing it? Literally every day. Amazing. So So you're talking about 10 hours a week. So you're probably doing about 40 hours a month, let's call it. It sounds like to get to 10K. Yeah. You do understand that you can hire where what state are you in? Colorado. What's minimum wage in Colorado? like 12 bucks, eight bucks, seven bucks. What is it? 9 13 16 just under 15 in

our county. Great. You do understand the math of this. 40 hours a week, $10,000 in sales. There are tons of grandmas, stay-at-home moms, high school, college kids. Like you need to you need to have to hire some people and do a 100 hours a week of whatnot. You know that, right? Yeah. Can I say our our our challenge, our one caveat to is the permissions and admin like trusting the people with like bank account wrapping and

just trusting the right people that they won't they have full access. There's no way to limit permissions on the back end. What are you talking about? So like if we let like some stay at home mom like run the whatnot show, she could also like see our bank account like and cash out or change our bank account. That's our fear is that what are you? No, she can't. She doesn't control the account. Well, like how would

she sell city? She would [ __ ] walk into your office right there, sit down and [ __ ] go live, sell some [ __ ] cookies and go home. Not remote local. Okay, got it. Gotcha. blasting. Yeah, this is good. Before you worry about corporate, why not [ __ ] quadruple down on the thing that [ __ ] is working? I love it. I like that. Yeah, that's it. Wow. Okay. The end. Nothing else. I don't want to talk to you again ever until you're

doing a million a month on whatnot and then we can have a conversation. Your entire business is whatnot. Not [ __ ] corporate gifts on LinkedIn. Not your [ __ ] farmers market. Your [ __ ] business is whatnot. Okay, that's super good to know. Nothing else matters. Okay. I love it. You're amazing. Love you guys. Thank you. Thank you. Take care. All right. Couple things. First of all, that entire interaction was sick. That was sick. Number one. Number two, uh people

were saying my how many people felt my audio was low there? I wonder if when we go with that, did it go low? It seemed like a lot of people were f Yeah, people said it was low. Is it less low now? What about right this second? Is it better now? Okay, cool. Okay, it's like a mix of the two. All right, nonetheless, um Erin, I'm ready. Okay. Um, Jess asks, "What do I do? I'm in

a partnership. My partner wants to leave but doesn't and is sinking the ship." Running a business, I assume. Yeah, it sounds like it. Um, my partner wants to leave but doesn't. Yeah. Force them out. You know, that whole thing when partners are half pregnant and they're [ __ ] teetering the whole Like, by the way, this is relationship advice as well. Anybody who's threatening to like leave and then not leave and then leave and then not leave, like

you fire them, like for real. Like if you were in a business or personal relationship where the other person has multiple times threatened to leave and then change their mind, I want you to help them and you leave them. The end. The end with this [ __ ] I hate that manipulation. That's it. That's what I got. Don't be scared. You'll be fine. You'll find somebody better. I promise. There's nothing Here's what I know. There's nothing good about

someone who's doing that crazy [ __ ] to you. So, the alternative is already better. All right, next question. Aaron. Um, okay. When I feel like I'm making steps forward in my business, why do I always unconsciously step back? Hold on. What's happening? You can chop there. Put Put the mic closer to your lip. One more time. Okay. Um, when I feel like I'm making steps forward, something's wrong. They're not hearing her feet anyway. So, I think just

they're not hearing her anyway. I am. Well, you can. Yes, he is. They're No, they're good. They can hear. Okay. You're wrong. They can all hear. Okay. You're 100% wrong, Mike. All right. Go ahead, Aaron. Okay. When I feel like I'm making steps forward in my business, why do I always unconsciously step back? I don't [ __ ] know. What? What do you One more time. When I'm making like self-sabotage, I guess. When I feel like I'm making

steps forward in my business, why do I always unconsciously feel like I'm stepping back? It's not self-sabotage because you can self-sabotage is when you're consciously doing it. She or he is saying subconsciously. I don't know. I need whoever that person is, I need you on video to break that down. Next. Okay. Um, how to start over? I have over 30 years of working on the fitness field and created a um mind and body program that worked

for a while, but now I don't know where to start. [Music] I think we need to go to video. These questions are too vague. Like I don't know like where where do you start? Like making content on the internet. um learning AI tools. There's like so many things but a little too vague. All right, let's go to video anybody or do you not have anyone? There we go. I'm going to cry, but okay. Uh what's your

name, brother? Uh Christian. My name is Christian. Thank you for everything you do. Thank you for the lives you save. Thank you for the people you motivate. Uh just first and foremost, just thank you for that. Uh, thank you. Uh, long story short, um, I was formerly 485 lbs. Wow. No surgery, no nothing. Long did 14 diets. Took me 2 years to lose it. I was formerly a high school dropout. Um, with unmotivated, you know, stem

from a very low income household, like very not not s not mentally succeeded whatsoever. Currently, I'm getting my masters in higher education, which is ironic, seeing how I dropped out of high school. uh and then I want to go for a PhD education and I want to brand this in some sort of manner cuz I want to my career go wise my goal would be a college president but on the way there I I don't know

if that's the ideal thing cuz originally I was thinking I want to help people in education but I brought it down to I just want to help people who have lost hope in general find hope and and prove to them that it's possible like I even have this like you can't really see it but I can see it that was me you know that That's like I still got the glasses cuz it's it my laptop background

is literally like you know never really cuz it's it reminds me and and I and I show this to people not to like boast about the accomplishment but because I want to prove to them that it's possible. By by the way by the way like you're allowed to be proud of your accomplishment you know at you know communicating something that you worked hard to to achieve is not boasting it's you're communicating and to your point it
