Gary Vaynerchuk hosts a live event from a warehouse in the Carolinas, promoting his V Friends brand—a collectible character universe blending Pokémon-style collectibility with Sesame Street-style positive messaging. He discusses flipping, entrepreneurship, and parenting, while giving away pallets of merchandise and interacting with the community.
Gary Vee launched the 2017 Flip Challenge to highlight flipping as a major business opportunity, predating platforms like Whatnot. Many viewers credit this challenge for their entrepreneurial start.

Gary critiques modern children's content and aims to revive 80s/90s-style cartoons that teach morals, like He-Man. V Friends cartoons on YouTube Kids promote being the bigger person and other values.
Gary argues that letting kids cry after losing is healthy and that over-coddling creates losers. He encourages parents to let children feel loss to foster resilience and a competitive spirit.
Gary shares his immigrant background, growing up in a Queens studio apartment and working from age 14. He credits positivity and hard work for his success.
Gary previews his 2026 personal pillars: forgiveness (forgiving others and yourself) and tapping into childlike energy. He argues these are key to happiness and success.
Gary challenges the saying 'nice guys finish last,' claiming genuine kindness without expectation of return leads to success. He distinguishes true niceness from manipulation.
Gary asserts that your social media feed reflects your true interests. If you see negativity, it's because you engage with it; you can train your algorithm for positivity.
Gary leads a chat pledge to never leave negative comments online, stating that contributing to darkness makes you the darkness. He claims never to have left a negative comment.
Gary declares himself a modern-day Walt Disney, building V Friends as a lasting IP. He urges viewers to hold onto V Friends products for 10+ years, believing they will become valuable collectibles.
Gary Vee's warehouse event blends motivational speaking with brand promotion, emphasizing flipping, positivity, and the long-term value of V Friends. He positions himself as a visionary building a generational IP.

31:35[00:04] I'm building the next Pokemon. THIS IS AMAZING. I'm Walt Disney. I'm building the next huge intellectual property universe of madeup characters, Ski. You think I'm GARY VEE? I'M GARY SKI. EVERY company gets better when they
[00:20] become less corporate and become more common sense. We need to be less of a corporation and more of a common sense community. This is going to be one of my you right now, this is literally my dream. This is what I want to do
[00:32] real pleasure. >> This is so cool. What's up? >> What's up, brother? How are you? Hi. >> What's up, Rips? >> This is it.

[01:05] happy to be here. >> Gary freaking V in the house. Let's go. in the chat? Yeah. >> How about some V? >> V would be nice. Good to see everybody. There we go. In 2017, as an entrepreneur
[01:20] media, I came out with something called the 2017 flip challenge. And I people to understand that flipping was one of the biggest opportunities in
[01:32] business. This was pre-w whatnot. This was about eBay and social media. This was about garage sales and storage units. And uh I'm I have the great units. And uh I'm I have the great fortune that 8 years later, many people,
[01:45] >> many people have uh been affected by that challenge back in 2017. Uh that challenge back in 2017. Uh including this man right here.
[01:58] Would not be here. Would not be here without without trash talk. Without I guess it was daily V. Don't you want to be happy? I just want to be happy. >> Yeah. By the way, you have to go to YouTube and type in trash talk. I
[02:11] filmed, you know, I was saying all of this in 17 and people like, "This isn't to a garage sale and buy something for a dollar and sell it for 50." And I was like, "Screw it. I'm going to film myself going to these garage sales.
[02:24] After hearing the incredible story of this incredible uh couple, I was like, you know what? Let's do a deal. Let's put together something massive. And I am actually going to go fly down to the Carolinas and do this show. And I did.
[02:37] And here we are. And I'm excited. And if I wish, actually, we're going to probably do a daily V cuz Train's filming. I wish you saw my face when I got to this warehouse. Rips. What was my opening line?
[02:49] living here forever. >> I literally This might be my friends. warehouse >> might be my new home. That's how much I love it here. I've heard so much about this community. I'm so fired up. V
[03:03] friends, tell everybody. This is a $700 box. It came out for $99. Now, for everybody, V friends, if you don't know what it is, think about Pokemon meets Sesame Street as a framework, but it's collectible like Marvel. I don't know if
[03:16] you just saw the $9 million rips. I know you saw it. $9 million Superman comic that just sold. I am Gary Vaynerchuk. I'm an entrepreneur that wants to and is trying to build the next Marvel and Pokemon. 690 bucks. This box, as you can
[03:31] all see, this is not a joke. This is not a joke. This was literally $99 only 6 months ago. That's how much demand is on eBay. If you go to eBay and type in that's what we're doing today. Blowing out Vfriends stuff. I was making a joke
[03:45] that I know a lot of you buy these pallets to then flip them right away. enough to buy these pallets today, just put in a warehouse, sleep for 5 years, let me cook, and then make the greatest percentage flip OF ALL TIME." RIPS OF

[04:14] watch our YouTube Kids show. I just turned 50. Big moment for me. Get over here. I just turned 50. I grew up in the era where cartoons in the in the 80s and '9s were helping parents parent. I think that the content that the kids have now
[04:27] is not helping enough. I remember watching He-Man as a kid and at the end He-Man, would look at the screen and be like, "And remember kids, be nice to I got to be nice to my sister." We don't have that kind of content anymore.
[04:42] That's what V friends is about. So, it's not only, you know, Pokemon collectible like you just saw the eBay sales, but it's got that Sesame Street that He-Man. I saw Shira in there. Um, so I don't know. I'm excited. Anyway, I'm really

[14:42] painting. And if that's the Colin that I think it is, you know this to be true. You know this to be true because you came to the one keynote. He came to the keynote. We woke up at 3:30. We drove to a keynote right outside of DC. Yeah.
[14:56] >> Uh genuine giraffe. I was just thinking, >> I love what you've done. I'm so proud of you, too. I love this community. The people in here are so sweet. Like, the way they're talking, it's just a it's a
[15:09] really nice little universe. And honestly, I I'm a big believer that you Like, if you want to find negativity, you can find it. You can turn on the But if you want to find happiness, you can find it, too. What we do at V
[15:24] Friends, strangers become acquaintances, acquaintances become friends, friends become family. >> And what I see here is a family, >> right? This is a family. >> And so I know that and I see that and I
[15:38] just believe that all of you should be very proud that you have found each other here. First of all, the positive vibes, Suz, what you guys have done is people are being entrepreneurial as well. What attracted me to this is when
[15:54] I go in and watch your show, I see the community being very positive, but it's also business, right? There's a lot of hustlers in here. They are they're working hard, right? They're getting a pallet. They break it down.
[16:06] They're selling it on eBay or on Facebook Marketplace or on whatnot. My for the thousand of you that are in this room. My admiration um is very high. people that are spending positivity because there's
[16:21] spending positivity because there's other shows on the platform that are negativity. People are trashing on each other. They're they're [ __ ] on the host because the hosts are like doing blind things and it's not working. But
[16:33] the positivity, but then also the entrepreneurship this show, we got a >> That's $100 on Forge. >> MANDY,
[16:45] >> It's a absolutely right. One of my favorite quotes. Um, you changed my life in 2017. Flip challenge. See, feels good. How many people here discovered me or listened to me on the flip challenge in 2017?
[16:58] >> Say 2017 in the chat. Anyway, I just I'm almost done with my rant. I just am really proud of all the people in here that have gotten to know each other fact that it's like positivity and cheering everyone up and building
[17:11] everyone up. And then on top of it, there's commerce. You know, there's people really working. Like to me, I came from a I was born in the Soviet Union. I lived in a studio apartment in Queens as a kid. We had nothing. And
[17:25] then I worked every day. Really, starting at 14, I really worked every starting at 14, I really worked every day actually. Um I just um I just really positivity um and willing to put in the work. And I
[17:40] um and willing to put in the work. And I feel like a lot of uh uh I I feel like I you. I'm I'm happy to be here. If you want to understand why we think we're different, imagine buying this for your four-year-old, putting it on their desk,
[17:53] and then a year later, they're like, cuz they love it, but a year later, they're like, "Mommy, what's being the bigger person?" You want to talk about one of the biggest issues in our society right now is people's inability to be the
[18:05] >> We're so triggered by someone seeing something different than the way we see it. Someone disagreeing how we see life. as if the world should run the way we think. The audacity to think that every American or human should see life the
[18:19] way you see it. Our inability to be the bigger person in the face of hate. >> Ah yeah, I love the the cartoons friends. We're teaching.
[18:40] person. What else do which other character do we have? I mean, honestly, if you've got a dopey husband, you need to buy him a common sense cow. You got to buy him a common sense cow. You got to buy him a common sense cow.
[18:52] is how I carried wine cases. This is how my left glute gave out. I I was too and my left glute gave out. This is This is why I have a bad back for 30 years. This is how I carried everything. And you can see my left glute is elevated and that's
[19:06] see my left glute is elevated and that's where I got Oh, MOCK BOOTS. MOCK BOOTS. WE'VE GOT MUK BOOTS. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO SELL MUK boots the whole time. I mean, FORGET V FRIENDS. WE GOT MUK BOOTS. HOW MANY OF THE 181 ARE GOING IN?
[19:19] >> GO. >> WE MANIFEST. WE MANIFEST AROUND HERE. THIS IS LITERALLY one of the great moves of all time. You get a bunch of how you get four of You get five of these in the in
[19:32] the manifest. You get them. YOU CUT OUT THE CAT. You walk around and start a new trend with sweatpants with a patch on it. Some people wear boxers. You'll see a little boxers. It's that whole look. You
[19:47] get 30 on the BAY FOR THE PATCH. And then you just It's unbelievable. Like the Can they see? Can they see it? Do they see the stitch? Like these were made by Ben Oennic on my team who makes $350 like Brooklyn cool kids clothes.
[20:02] This isn't some [ __ ] PRIVATE LABEL FROM TARGET. YES. Target. >> You don't throw this. >> THIS IS JAPAN [ __ ] CORNER STORE HIGH-END.
[20:14] >> If you're not grateful, you're nothing. This is the grateful gar. If you're a fisherman, you know what the gar This is beautiful. This is beautiful. These shirts are beautiful. >> I don't buy pallets at that comfort of
[20:26] amazing. OHIO >> 500 IN THE ROOM. >> OHIO THRIFTERS. OHIO THRIFTERS WITH THE BIG RAIN. THERE IT IS. There it is. The genuine giraffe signed going in the
[20:39] >> Parents, get ready. You want to show real balance to your kids. This is the eager eagle. Cuz it's amazing to be eager and go for it. But on the other foot, the patient pig. The number one issue with parenting in the last 30
[20:53] We've overcoddled. We've overcoddled. You've got to find the middle. Eagerness and patience can be balanced. Your kid could be a go-getter, but you can also teach them patience. Both work. The
[21:07] when they look down at their feet, they realize, I got to go for it, but I've got to be patient and not insecure. This is massive.
[21:22] MANIFEST PALLETS. This is unbelievable. You just got me so hyped. Competitive clown. One of the most important characters in Befriend Friends. We need competitive, not less. We've completely lost our way with this. It's not just a
[21:36] game for a winner. If you're lucky enough to have A KID, ACTUALLY, CHAT, IF YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A KID WHO CRIES when they lose, if you're lucky enough to have a kid who cries when they lose, say, "My kid cries," I just need
[21:50] all of you to hear this. If your kid cries when they lose, congratulations. You birth the winner. I need everyone to hear this. Can you fix the chat to hear this. Can you fix the chat to somebody? If you birthed a kid who
[22:04] cries, congratulations. Congratulations. You birthed the winner. And please do not take it out of them. talk about parenting a lot, but I never tell people how to parent. But my son's
[22:18] baseball team when he 5 years ago lost a game and one of the kids was crying. I felt comfortable doing this thing I shouldn't have done because I could see towards their son as we just lost this game three to two. And I could see they
[22:31] were ready to go in for the don't worry, it's just a game. Let's go get a Sunday. Let me cuddle you into being a loser. And soon as I did this, they were walking right here was a dad. He was walking. He was walking and I cut him,
[22:45] and I was like, "Good for you. >> This sucks. This is the worst day ever. >> Feel it. Feel that pain forever. Let it so you become a monster. >> Yeah. >> Look at that competitive clown.
[23:02] PALETTE is nuts. That's going to make this palette go. That's smart. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Give this to your winner, kid. Stanley. >> Stanley. Here's the preview for my 2026 pillars.
[23:17] Number one, forgiveness. I need all of you to learn that forgiving someone who did horrible things to you is the greatest thing you forgiveness is going to be a huge pallet. Forgiveness is huge. Here's the
[23:31] other pillar. One of the biggest mistakes everyone's making is we aren't acting childish enough. >> That's a bomb, Sus. That's a bomb. Go ahead. Say you wanted to say something.
[23:46] I I we talk about all the time especially Justin Justin's energy. Uh handle my like I would want my husband to know have no other heart besides a childish 100%. >> I% I believe one of the biggest issues
[23:59] for everyone watching right now is you're not tapping into your childness whatnot and you can see I'm being silly. How many people didn't know who I am, see me jumping around here and being crazy, just Googled me and looked at my
[24:12] fainted and said, "What the hell's going on here?" How many people did that? How many people just did that math? >> Oh, there's going to be a lot. I know what people do. Um, guilty. Thank you, black hat. Could you imagine? Can you
[24:27] imagine watching this, seeing what I'm doing, then go look look up me up and be person. Like, this is a real guy." >> Yes. Um anyway, never growing up. Uh debreed. I'm just an entrepreneur. I'm just an entrepreneur. You know, I think
[24:42] and that's the key, right? Like humility, the humble hedgehog, and the humble hummingbird are such be big factors here. Um it's such a big factor.
[24:54] Leaning into humility, humility, youthful childlike energy, and the ability to forgive. So many of you have deep resentment against your ex-wife and husband. deep resentment against a boss, deep resentment against a friend who
[25:08] sees the world different politically, deep issues with a mom or dad, an uncle. And by the way, some of you had real rough childhoods. Some of you, God, God forbid, had real stuff. You know, forget about even having an alcoholic parent or
[25:23] a deadbeat dad. It could get even worse than that. I've lived. I know. But I'm telling you right now, your ability to forgive because you realize they were hurt makes you strong, changes your life.
[25:36] >> So hard. >> And let me let me teach you how to change someone's life right here on the spot. The reason you should forgive yourself right away right now is because everyone else sucks, too.

[35:29] life stuff, you don't need to be tired of losing. Also, when you're losing, you get to judge if you're losing. Let me give you an example. If you're in debt in this room right now, you're in debt. You live paycheck to paycheck. You're in
[35:41] debt. But you're a nice person. You open the door for a grandma at the supermarket. You smile at people at the airport. you you you call and check in on your friends. You're a much bigger winner than my millionaire friends. I

[37:39] out. I got I can be listened. >> It's the actual one that you should buy for yourself because one of the biggest reasons so many of you are unhappy right now. Who would say that they're between neutral in life right now energy-wise
[37:53] and spiritually too unhappy? like they're struggling, they're miffed, they're they're they're it's awkward, like they're you know, they're this is why I talk about this stuff, Suz. Here's a huge one. You know, Katherine,

[38:22] this. Here's how I thought about this toy when I invented it. I feel like if this is on your counter on your in your kitchen, in your bedroom, in your someone's pissing you off on a business
[38:34] deal or you're having one of the reasons so many of you are unhappy is you hold resentment. Resentment is poison. It doesn't matter anymore what your daddy did. It doesn't matter anymore when your boss did wrong by you. You're
[38:48] a grown-up now. You are capable of hanging around good people. You are capable of going to therapy if you could afford it. You are capable of following I'm not the only one out there sending real good messages and positivity.

[42:57] going to think. They're going to worry about what someone at work thinks. >> Everyone here is stuck in sixth grade. We still think it's sixth grade. We still think it's sixth grade. You still think it's sixth grade?
[43:11] Steely, good to see you. Like, everyone's stuck in everything in life because they're worried about opinions of people. This is so insane. You are living your life based on the opinions of people that you often don't even like
[43:25] like. What? >> What did I just say? >> That's golden. You are literally living your life based on the opinions of people you often don't like >> and definitely people you don't want to
[43:39] >> and definitely people you don't want to be like. lot of people here are not jumping because somebody at their office or somebody in their family, their cousin is telling them they can't. You're going
[43:54] to fail. You're not like Gary Vee. You're not good enough. And the reason that person's saying it is they're scared that their loser cousin is the mud and they're going to be the only one stuck in the mud. Pay attention to
[44:07] one stuck in the mud. Pay attention to who's talking to you. And people love to I saw somebody said they're just jealous and envy. When
[44:21] people are jealous and envious towards me, I'm not mad at them. I feel bad for them. When someone says that I'm a scam artist or I suck or V friends is going to fail in the comments of my content, I'm not mad at them. I feel sad for them
[44:34] that they take time to go around. Could you imagine? And if you're one of these people, you stop now. Actually, you know what? This is going to be I'm going in the manifesting box for this. This is going to be one of my
