So, let me do a test right now. >> Say something for me, G. >> 1279. >> Yeah, they're all muted. I don't hear it anymore. Thank you, Court. All right, I'm ready to go. >> Thank you. Good morning.

We are now transitioning. A lot of people are crying this morning. They love summer summertime and now we're getting to the nitty-gritty. Others like me will wait to cry on Sunday because we're excited right now because it's football season. But somewhere around 4:00 on a Sunday is when

us Jeff fans tend to start shedding some tears. hopefully tears of joy after beating Aaron Rogers and the Steelers, but we'll see. Um, great to see everybody. Uh, I have seven shares on whatnot. I'm also a little red I think on whatnot. Colors wrong again in my opinion. Danny, right? Or is that like some say blue? Yeah, it might be blue. What um what's happening with that? Like why are we not able to nail that down?

>> Trading from the old the new system. >> Got it. Got it. Understood. Yeah, like I agree. I do look a little tanned. nor um uh all right, let's get into this show. Pablo, we'll go with you first. Uh let's go into the first question. >> Ju Guu asks, "What advice would he give to someone who is battling with trauma with little to no money to seek professional help and it affects their day-to-day interactions yet I

try to achieve goals in my daily life? What should I do?" Well, look, I mean, I think at the end of the day, not everybody's going to be able to afford therapy, but what what there's a lot of ways to break out of trauma or unhappiness that don't require paying a therapist, you know, hundreds of dollars an hour. You know, there's exercise, there's uh changing the people you hang out with, and then my favorite one, which

is I genuinely believe they're doing it right now. You know, consuming content and information that is optimistic, practical, and positive is dramatically better than hanging around with negative people and consuming content that is negative, fear-based. Whezzy World, thank you so much for the um raid. Two things, team, the audio is a little weird. I feel something. And then two, I'm still blue and I think we should change that. Um so that's it. Thank you so much

for the raid wheezy world. Let's actually get a giveaway up right now. Let's put up a a 45 Let's make it a $75 pack. Let's put up a $75 pack of cards. This is free. I'm also now no longer on screen. There we go. I should be green if anything. I agree. Um putting up uh Yeah, it's >> Yeah, I hear that, too. I think cable issues. >> All right, so let's fix it. Um try no

worries. Um could be this, maybe not. I don't know. Um got it. All right. Uh, let's put up that. Um, and uh, let's put up that giveaway right now. Um, but that's the answer, Pablo. Like I, you know, I believe that so many Thank you for fixing the coloring. Hopefully, very nice. We're back to normal color. Um, you know, you got to really face truth. You've also got to accept a very important thing that people struggle

with in life, which is they think [ __ ] is their fault when it's not. When you have an abusive parent, when you have, you know, a a teacher or a coach that does something wrong, these are not indications of you. They're indications on others. I have had plenty of things that have not been awesome in my life. I've had the capacity to understand that they're not my fault. Like I didn't deserve it. What's going on? Like >>

no nothing. You keep doing your thing. I'm working on fixing it. >> Cool. But it's like really happening. >> I hear it. I hear it. >> Um >> you can take those off for now. You only need them for the >> Can they hear it? >> They might be able to hear. >> They can't hear it on their end. >> I hear you. Good. >> Oh, it's it's them. It's just me and you. >> I think

it's just me and you. I'm more complex. >> No worries. Um, uh, so I I think that's the real issue at hand, right? Like, um, I just don't understand why people No, no. So, uh, Threelon said, "Bill Bichc isn't a bad coach. UNCC is just bad." That's wrong. Bill Bich is a [ __ ] coach. I'm going to end up being historically correct on this. I've stood on this business that the [ __ ] is like terrible in his 11

seasons without the greatest player of all time and miraculously great when he has the greatest player. And by the way, that greatest player of all time left, went to Tampa Bay and won a [ __ ] Super Bowl in his [ __ ] 40s. So, you know, I don't love the guy in football life, Tom Brady, but [ __ ] man. He must be smiling hard as [ __ ] I couldn't have been happier last night watching TCU dismantle UNCC and that will continue

because he's overrated otherwise. So that is his fault. He's the head coach. Um though I'll give him a pass. Let's see what he does over three years because I know he didn't recruit those kids. Yes, Mike. Anything? No, you're good. Um so that is the answer to the question. You must learn to love yourself and you must not take on other people's negativity towards you as an indication that it's you. And then finally, you must, and

I mean must, stop consuming negativity. going through your feed, laying in bed at 9:45 p.m. for an hour and 20 minutes before you go to sleep, just going through your feed about negative [ __ ] of why America is going to collapse and why everything is bad and why this generation has it the worst and all that [ __ ] is doing nothing for you. And then on top of that, you have [ __ ] CNN and Fox News on the background,

two places that also sell fear. The whole [ __ ] world is selling fear. Don't consume it. You don't need therapy. You know, E3 Mike says CNN consistently negative news. True. And guess what? Fox News is scaring you all as well. Everything's scaring you. Fox is scaring you. CNN scaring you. MSNBC scaring you. ABC is scaring you. CB, like everything's scaring you. Period. Left, right, scaring you. They got all of you on lock. You are all bunched up.

You're on lock. You're on Weas Island. You guys are all on lock. You think you're not. You think you're on one side or the other. I'm telling you right now, you're all getting [ __ ] hoodwinkled. You're all being told the same [ __ ] in a different angle. Be scared. Be scared of the immigrants. Be scared of George Sor. You're just being scing is the same [ __ ] just from a Okay. The the mic is struggling for everyone. Danny, everyone

else, like what's happening here? Because they're saying the mic's bad. >> Getting swapping cable out. Yeah, I think the cables. Give me one second. I'm gonna swap this. >> All right. Well, I'm going to roll. >> Yeah. Yeah. Keep rolling. Keep rolling. >> Well, I'm not because it's [ __ ] everybody up. >> Thank you. Um, everybody, I'm sorry about this. We just have not been able to get this down. But we will. We will. We're We're in

our I'm sure this week we're going to figure this [ __ ] out. That should be better. >> 1279. >> Is this me? >> That's you. >> Are we good now? Better. All right. Good. There we go. >> Everything was Nope. I heard it again. >> I heard I think it might be the machine G. I got to be honest with you. >> Really? >> Yeah. That noise. >> That's too bad. [ __ ] Sorry everyone. Not sure what's going

on right now. Um, >> I don't think it's staying back from the mic queen, but I'll try. We're not clipping at all. >> All right, people are hearing it. All right, I'm just going to stay right here. I'm not even going to move. Pablo, give me another question. Oh, we got another giveaway. It's staying. It just popped again. The winner is Drew Connor, 1992. I'm going to assume Drew was born in '92. So, that's a nice

little win for the youngster. Um, all right, Pablo, get back to it. >> Heather asks, "I'm working on opening a used clothes store in my hometown. We live in a high poverty county in Virginia, and there are no other stores in our county that sell affordable clothing. What should our content strategy be to market our store? >> Social media. We should post four to five clips a day across seven platforms. Um, pictures and videos of the

clothes. I mean, Pablo, do you see what my life is? I see you laughing. And you've only been here for 5 minutes. I've done this for 20 [ __ ] years. People just want the affirmation. Like the like are we [ __ ] like come on. Adrian, put upg.com. Um it's very simple. Like it's just [ __ ] content. Like it's always going to be content. It is content. I know my mic is [ __ ] up. I'm sorry everyone. Um it's just the

way it is. It's just the way it is. It's just content. Your content strategy needs to be what your value. When people ask me what should we post, you should post what your values are. You should post the [ __ ] that you would tell people is good about your store. Like why the [ __ ] should someone come to your store? Sounds like you have better prices. I don't know. Just like it's not that complicated. Like you sell Anybody

who sells [ __ ] should never have a problem making content. You sell [ __ ] Literally, wine library, my dad's store, can post 93,000 pieces of content a day because they have 93,000 different wines, you know. So, I don't know. All right, let's go to Noel, who's on video. >> Hey, what's up, Gary? >> My brother, how are you? Where you from? >> Uh, Paris, France. >> Very nice. Pleasure. >> Thanks. I've been following you since uh 10 years

now. So good to talk to you. >> Thank you so much. I'm humbled. >> Um, so the thing is I'm a professional photographer since like five years now. So I had a job and everything. Uh, like I was doing this on the side. Uh, so I was grinding. >> Uh, the five years went pretty well for now. Uh, and but this year is not as good as the other. And I, you know, I feel like I've

reached like a glass ceiling, you know, and I don't know what can I do now. Like I keep producing content, you know. So I'm into like fashion design and stuff like that. And so I'm >> When you say when you when you say a ceiling in booking jobs and making revenue, what what what do you refer as a ceiling? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like uh like uh having jobs, revenue and stuff like that. Definitely. And

and where and where I want to be, you know, in >> where where do you want to be? >> Like you know, shooting big big campaigns uh stuff like that. Like >> how for >> in my in my aesthetics, you know, but >> Yep. So I assume for Gucci and Dior and like big fashion brands. Is that what we're talking about or? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. >> If I'm you, I'm sending messages on LinkedIn to

the CMO, chief marketing officer of the 500 biggest fashion brands in the world. I literally grab a nice glass of French wine. I sit down. I go on LinkedIn and I literally direct message. Uh there was a hedge fund today that bought a lot of equity in PepsiCo. I think they bought four billion dollars worth of PepsiCo. Pepsi is a big client of ours. Literally already this morning at 7:40 in the morning, I am looking up

the LinkedIn of the partners of the hedge fund. >> Definitely. That that's that's what I'm doing right now. I mean, I'll be DMing and and on LinkedIn all people. >> Hold on. Hold on. How how many Well, no, no, no, no. We need to I need to double click. Thank you for your big smile. Exactly. Here's the thing. When people want big goals, they have to do big things. I'm actually talking about you sending a message

on LinkedIn to seven top marketing executives at Gucci, then BMW, then Mercedes, then Jaguar, then Rolex. I'm talking about you sending a message to somewhere between 3 to 4,000 people on LinkedIn, not sending six DMs on Instagram to the account of Dior. >> Yeah. No, sure. Yeah, definitely. I'm I'm I'm targeting the right people. Uh but I I think I'm definitely not DMing enough or >> It's It's the same thing. It's kind of like anything like

when you took your first photo, was were you as good as the photos you're taking now? Of course not. It was experience, right? When when I did my first push-ups with Mike 11 years ago when I started getting my health done, I did eight bad push-ups. That's how weak I was. Truly, I did eight bad push-ups. I like had never worked out in my life. I didn't have muscles. I was overweight. It was hard. They were

bad. I didn't know the form. My left shoulder didn't even know how to like close its [ __ ] you know, like shoulder blade. Like, it was [ __ ] up. Today, I bang him out all day long. Proper form, like a [ __ ] real player. Why? Cuz I did 11 years of the work every day. Every day. Every day. I didn't want to wake up at 6:13 this morning. I didn't want to, but I'm trying to make sure I'm in

physical shape. Same thing for business. Like I just think it's a m biggest observation especially as I'm bringing back tea with Gary Vee is people don't realize the sheer volume of the act. They're like I Gary I do do it. I do post. I'm like no you don't. I have you know like like I have 25 employees and testing and posting all day long. That's different than posting you know one on your grid every four days

cuz you aesthetically want it to look good. you know, just a different game. And I just think that if you want to get bigger jobs, it's called networking. The easiest way to network is digitally. You're allowed to go to cocktail parties. You're allowed to like show up to places where there's PR people that might invite you to PR parties where you can literally network and rub elbows. But in the 70s and 80s, it took seven years

because someone had to go out every night to trendy spots and meet people and to hope and pray. Now, we can just take that [ __ ] on social media, right? You can go to ChatGBT and say, "Give me the Instagram of the 50 biggest creative directors in the world. Give me a link to it that gives you links. You click it. You direct message them. Here's some of my work." But then >> there's 4,000 people sending direct

messages to these people with their work. So, can you actually spend eight minutes looking at their profile, realizing that they like champagne or race cars or or Bravo reality TV so that you could send them a different kind of message? You understand where I'm going >> completely? I've been doing that not enough, I guess, but I've been doing that. And I I just have another question following that. It's >> like I have some of these people

in my network. Uh some of them are following me like you know like international marketing manager jump and stuff like that. been following me um on Instagram. So I I you know yesterday I was DMing them like, "Oh, it's been a long time. Like you've been following me. Let's let's chat. I hope we can work someday." You know, and stuff like that. >> Stop right there. Stop right there. If I'm you, I don't say, "I hope

we can work someday." You showed your card. I would just say, "Hey, let's grab a meal and talk about creativity." Right? If for me when I'm direct messaging people, I never go in for the close within the first conversation because at some level I'm too empathetic for the other person. Everyone's asking them for that what you just asked them for. But if but if I go look at their last three posts or 10 posts and see

that they posted about helicopters or aesthetics that they're saying pastels are coming back, I write them back and be like, "Yo, I totally agree with you on pastels. I see like I'm trying to build a little bit of a relationship to get to the to the cocktail. You know, to me, I'm I'm respectful of the other person's time. Hey, do you have 15 minutes? A lot of times I'll say, do you have 15 minutes for a

coffee before a dinner? Um, you know, would love to talk to you about creativity or fashion or design. You see where I'm going? Like, it's not just putting in the uh back to working out. It's not a lot of people now that I know how to work out properly because my trainers have always been very big on form, not on uh the pizzazz of being in the gym. Like you I go to a gym now once

in a blue moon if I go to a public gym when I'm traveling like watching dudes like swing their whole body just to get their curls up because they want 10 extra pounds for the vanity versus me being willing to do 5 lbs less to get the actual proper form. Now what you and I are doing is we're talking form. You know you know I'm giving you the nuance within the action. >> You see where I'm

going? So maybe it's your your form that needs a tweak. Get your volume up and get your form up and you're going to see massive results. >> Makes sense. >> Yeah, makes sense. Makes sense. Definitely. I I'll change the way I'm I'm I'm reaching to people. >> I would also reach out to small podcasts around photography and fashion and design and aesthetics. Very small ones that will definitely take you as a guest >> for two for

two reasons. It gives you an opportunity to like really go deep for 45 minutes. Plus, you can clip the video clips from your long form and use it for social. It might be good content for you because when someone's asking you questions, they're making you think about things that you haven't thought about yourself. >> Yeah, definitely. I've been people in my DMs like wanting to interview me and stuff and I I didn't reply yet, but >>

And is that because you think, and this makes sense to me, do you think they're too small and you don't want to do small shows because it'll make you seem smaller and you're waiting for bigger shows? >> Yeah, makes sense, brother. Makes sense. I get it, brother. I see it every day. Yet, I still will do small shows now. And I got to big shows by doing small shows. >> Yeah, definitely. Like you know everybody's so

overw worried about optics especially for someone who's in design aesthetics like even you on screen everyone's like I love this the glasses I love the hat I love the rings like you are in a visual aesthetic world I respect that to no end but I promise you very little happens in the world without action and having humility against your action is always a competitive advantage. Makes sense. >> The person in your circle that's going to break

out and get to the next level is the person amongst those seven to 10 of you that are the same that's willing to take the judgment of the other six or seven of you while you do things that are smaller than what the six or seven of you think you should be doing. >> Definitely. I totally agree with that. >> Humility is a secret weapon, brother. I promise it is. And it's an incredibly rare weapon of

choice. these days >> it is. Okay. >> Yeah. Makes sense. Makes sense. And but you know just just last one thing um cuz you know like when I watch I'm seeing like people who watching my stories and stuff like or where where I'm looking out for people in in a in production or you know in agency and stuff like that I some of the time I always like see the profile of the the the I don't

know like the the the production manager or the the director of the agency. They've been following me and I'm like why do they following me if you know like since I don't know like two years of the fact >> they're they're following 37 other people. >> Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. >> You know they're it's just serendipity you know. >> Don't worry about what they're thinking. >> I don't brother I don't spend one second worrying about what

people think. >> Yeah. True. That's true. >> I'm not worried about why they're following me. Why they're not. Do you know how many people spend a week thinking about why someone unfollowed them? Do Pablo isn't Don't I have like 4,000 people unfollowing me like every day or something like that? Some like staggering, right? Thank god it's like 6,000 follow but like like I mean I just don't worry about why the [ __ ] they are or aren't. >>

Yeah, sure. >> It doesn't [ __ ] matter what what what you're doing, brother, is classic. You're clearly good. Like I feel that and but what you're doing is you're waiting for it to come to you. >> It it has been like that like the end of the five years like >> Yeah. >> You know they it's >> you know why you know why like that >> that's a fancy move. You're too fancy. I need I need you

to get some dirt under those pretty fingernails. >> Yeah, you're right. >> You're too fancy, my guy. >> Yeah, you're right. You're right. >> And I'm going to tell you something about fancy. Nobody gives a [ __ ] The only people that care about fancy are other insecure fancy people. >> Yeah, you're right. >> I know, brother. I've lived. I'm like, you know, I'm only months away. We're now in the fall. Like, I'm months away from being 50.

I've lived a half century. I I knew it when I was 16. I definitely know it at [ __ ] 49 on the way to 50. You're You're impressing or worrying about impressing people that are stuck, too. You want you want to build a bigger business. You want to make more for your family. You want to make more for yourself. Nobody give like when you're 73. Nobody's going to give a [ __ ] that you got invited to the [ __ ]

off-white party during fashion week. Who gives a [ __ ] >> Sure. >> You know, so >> it's it's it's a good reminder cuz >> it's your currency. It's your currency in your circles who gets to the Louis Vuitton party matters. Meanwhile, it's a party full of completely insecure people who are running to the bathroom to do cocaine because they're socially insecure about everyone's opinions that they have to do drugs. That's a [ __ ] crew. Like, >> thank you.

>> Right. Like, they're so worried about judgment. Am I number 17 in this room or am I number 31? That girl's prettier than me. Like literally superm models in stalls in the bathroom doing drugs because they subjectively decided one girl in the whole place is prettier than them. That's not life, bro. That sucks. And by the way, when you're 49, you're not that pretty anymore by those standards. And what are you going to do with the

rest of your life if that's your value? And then you got dudes in there literally wearing 47 like a diarrhea of brands on them because they're so insecure. They want girls to like them and that they have to literally become a [ __ ] billboard of wealth because they don't believe they're worth it without the money. I mean, what are we doing out here? So, bro, go [ __ ] humble yourself and start attacking. Start having meetings with people early,

late, in between, running around all of [ __ ] Paris, meeting people on their way up. Don't go for the top dog. Go for the intern because the intern's going to be the top dog in seven years. And you're going to have to kiss 30 frogs. I've taken 40,000 meetings that have amassed to nothing. But there's 137 in there that I had meetings with people that they really appreciated and now they run the biggest companies in the world.

Now what? All you have to do is be 137 out of 41,000. But most people don't have the stomach to do the 41,000 because most think people think they're better than that. >> No, that's that's a good reminder. I was like that at the beginning and I've I guess I lost that along the way, you know, >> that I love you for that. You know, I don't know how much you consume of me, but it sounds

10 years. You probably heard this. You know how I always say, you know, a I say this a lot. You just got to this part and now you think you have to do something different, but what you actually have to do is double down on the [ __ ] that got you to this part. That's the [ __ ] thing. That's who I am. I worked yesterday on V friends yesterday. People out here crying that they want to be more

successful. People crying that they want to be 1% successful of what I am and they're [ __ ] chilling yesterday. >> And by the way, you need to chill in all this. But I'm just saying I'm not saying I'm better than I'm not saying that was good or bad or indifferent. Like it might have been bad. Maybe I should have been chilling with the fam. Like I don't know. But like I'm just telling you I did work. That

did happen, you know? Like I can't sit out here and say I'm building the next Pokemon and be doing a keg stand yesterday. Do you know how much I hate Bill Bich? I wanted to watch TCU in North Carolina. I wanted to watch him lose cuz I knew he was going to lose, but I couldn't cuz I had to [ __ ] do some [ __ ] for V friends cuz it's building and I'm building it. So anyway, love you,

Please click it. Pablo, let's go to the

next question on T with Gary Vee. >> Rebecca asks, "How do I comfort someone who's dealing with the death of a loved one?" >> Just by overly, you know, trying as many different things to be sympathetic and empathetic. Like honestly, there's no right answer. Grief is devastating. I say this all the time, and it's important for all of you to hear. When I lose my mom and dad, like there's going to be really no move other

than like honestly just don't bother me. Like, you know what I mean? Like, just don't give me [ __ ] to think about because I'm out anyway. You need to One of the biggest mistakes that people make in the world for others is they would like to help people the way they want to help people, not the way the person wants to be helped. I'll give you an example. This is lightweight. I turned 50 on November 14th. Everybody,

I'm celebrated every day. I don't need anyone to celebrate me. I celebrate myself. Oh, I like that. >> Brandon, you like that? Right. Like, I don't need I don't need it. I don't want 500 people there. I definitely don't want

Anyway, everybody go to the top left corner, hit the logo um and send a message and

Finally made it over. Let's go.

Matt Jones 1990. Who's on their first show on whatnot? Say first show right now. It is cool. Starly, thank you. Welcome. Thank you. All right, Pablo, let's ask Tea with Gary Vee. It's back and it's better than ever on whatnot. >> Muma asks, "How do you remain positive about progressing and taking risk when you have multiple life challenges happening at once, yet you're in survival mode? I'm generally an upbeat person who can handle a lot, but

lately it's been way too much at once." >> Listen, you're allowed to have like bad moments and you're allowed to have it's too much at once. At the same token, stick with me here, Pablo. You have no [ __ ] choice. Do you know what's funny about life? Pablo, you know life. Let me tell you a little bit about life. Life doesn't give a [ __ ] about your feelings. Some days it's easy, some days it's harder. But it's always

good if you realize like you could be dead. You could have never been born. Uh whatever you're upset about, there's a worse version of that. like whatever you're upset about. How many people here have children? Say children in the chat. >> Every person, Courtney, that just said children in the chat, >> God forbid, no matter what they're upset about, got fired today. Have no idea how they're getting their next check. Still better than, God forbid, losing

their child this morning. >> True. You know, that's just life. Like, how do I deal with it? Perspective. Pablo. Putting things in perspective. Deciding to be grateful for what I have versus dwelling on what I don't have or what's not going well and just like living that life and realizing that you can go backwards. Like that's the key. Realizing you can always go backwards. This is what's killing people. Keeping up with the Joneses, other people's opinions.

Like whatever you're worried about, you can go backwards. You know, toxic job, quit. But Gary, [ __ ] you. You don't get it. I Yeah, I do get it. Actually, by the way, on the record, none of my answers in my life have anything to do with my own p I do not come from a focus group of one. I couldn't answer any question that way. I I only have one life. I only have my realities and perspectives.

This is the accumulation of reading one trillion messages over the last 20 years and then watching how it plays out. Pablo Court, do you know how many people email me nine years later and be like, "Now I get it." Nine years later. Watch this. How many people in the chat right now hated me at one point, but now understand me and are thankful. Put thankful in the chat. Hated me. Not disliked me. Like look at this.

This like the chat went so many on one. These are Now, let me tell you why there's so many people that say thankful. Like, why there's so many people. It's because when I talk, I poke. That person just asked me like, "Yo, bro, I'm struggling. What's up?" And I'm like, "Fuck you." That's not the normal answer. So, no [ __ ] Like, you know, like, no [ __ ] So, man, I don't know. Like, I just want this so bad

for all of you. Like, how do you deal with it? And this person, Pablo, by the way, sounds like they're going to win because they're normally upbeat. They're just dinged a little bit. Even the best fighters of all time get knocked down, right? Like I watched Joe Frasier throw a left I mean I wasn't alive at the time or I might have been alive, but I I watched the video. I saw Joe Frasier throw a left

hook that dropped Muhammad Ali. Dropped him right there a couple blocks away. Madison Square Garden. But he's the greatest. But obviously in that moment when he took that left hook, he wasn't better than Joe Frasier, let alone the greatest. That's life. Do you know that you know Brandon Waricki? You know him, you know who runs Wine Library? Him and I did 60 card shows together and we set up next to each other. And do you know

that 59 of those 60 card shows I made more money than him? But this one miraculous day in the Holiday Inn in Clinton, New Jersey, for whatever reason, the [ __ ] gods decided to smile down on Brandon and he just sold card after card after card. If you saw a big raid, thank you so much, Miss B. If you would have saw my face, uh, Mrs. V's crew, everybody who raided the diamonds, the diamond cutters, get into

the giveaway right now. I'm literally giving away a $300 box of manga stickers. Diamond cutters, get in the giveaway right now. Top right corner, you know how to do it. Big shout out to the diamond cutters. Um, this one miraculous day. Brandon beat me. What's that? The giveaway winner. We What? Oh, here we go. And the winner is >> Cody Cub. Cody Cub with the big win. Cody Cub. Let's go right back with the giveaway. Look

how cute this is. Is this cute? V friends socks. Are you kidding me right now? The patient panda, the eagle and the pig. These cute little socks. The fearless ferryy on the back. Look at this cute socks for free. I know the diamond cutter crew likes it. Throw it up, Cass. Free socks. And you know what? Let's sign it for somebody who wants 80 bucks. I didn't get 80 with the auto on it. Just get it

in the mail and put it on eBay and make your free money. We're giving away free money here. And yet all of you still want to stay on Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube. There's a huge yellow bar that says, "Come over here." And you're not doing it. Oh, cuz you know, Pablo, it takes too long to download a new app. Literally giving away free money. Get your asses over here, please. Tatty Anna, get your ass over here.

Not just on Twitch. Gianna box. >> Come on, Monster Brand. Get over here. What's up? I need you over here. Get in the giveaway. Um, so anyway, that's it. Pablo >> Fiona asked, "What would you do if your business partner says, "I'm a parent first and can't work more than 10 hours." >> I would not be business partners with that person. 10 hours? That's not even a [ __ ] employee. That's not even an employee, bro. Partner 10

hours. I hope she means a day. Bro, being a parent first is remarkable. I'm about that life. I champion. I love people that decide to work 20 to 30 hours a week and spend all their time with their kids. There's just a secondary aspect of that which is called money is going to be harder. But that's okay. I'm just confused by someone who thinks that they can work 10 hours a week and have a business that

buys them a benzo and a Rolex and a four seasons trip in Miami, which may not be that person. She or he might have their [ __ ] right. They're like, "Yo, I got 10 hours for you. Take it or leave it." My answer to this person is leave it. Find a partner that's giving you 70 hours. But you know, you know, it's fine. Like I don't judge. Like I have no interest in spewing any opinion on how

someone wants to live their life. What I'm confused by and I'm trying to get people out of is entitlement. If that person if I was sitting with those two people, if that if I heard the person that's got 10 hours a week expecting their partner to do all these things, expecting for it to work, there's no business on earth that is going to get anywhere with 10 hours a week. Promise. Now, if this person's working a

100 hours and carrying the other person and their 50/50 partners, then that person's a sucker. Now, I've been a sucker my whole life. I've done it for my brother, my dad, everybody. That's what I do. I'm a sucker. But that's fine cuz I love those people. It's good to be a sucker if you love them. It's bad to be a sucker if you don't love them. So, that's what I got. Next question. >> The trends setter

music guy asked Can I ask what your opinion is on meta ads and social media ad spent for music artists trying to get discovered in the modern music industry >> that you need to post organic first and when you have something that pops organic then you spend media dollars on it just like I Pablo back to working yesterday was it yesterday when I was like run yeah I told Pablo a lovely young man who's asking me

questions right now I'm like here's here's a piece of content that crushed for me this is yesterday please spend ad dollars against 30 to 45 y old female entrepreneurs because I thought it would hit for that demo. So, I'm a big believer in running ads after the content one organically, not before. Got it. All right, let's keep it going. Cap asks, "I'm 25 and currently working full-time. Deep down, I know I want to build something of

my own, something meaningful, but I'm sure I'm unsure when to take the leap. If I start now, I'll have to leave my job and give up a stable income. But if I wait two more years, I'll have more savings. How do I decide when is the right time to leave stability and chase purpose? >> What just happened there? >> He's dipping in and out a little bit. >> Got it. He's got it. Okay. Um, somebody says,

"Where can they buy the socks?" Do we have socks for sale? >> Let me put them up. >> All right. Yeah, let's put some socks up for sale. We will put some How much are they? >> They uh were 24. >> Good. $24. Let's do a flash sale. 20% off. Should we do 20% off? Too much energy for 9:04 on the Tuesday after Labor Day for 20% off socks. And you ask me how I do it.

It's called [ __ ] being happy about random [ __ ] cuz there's no reason not to. 20% off on the $24 socks about to be pinned down here. Cass, tell me when. Flash sale. I don't know how many you got. >> A good amount. >> You got 400 pairs. Put up a 100 pairs. Who's got socks? who loves their kids. We're about to find out who actually loves their kids. Courtney, we're going to find out. We've got all the

data on everyone who put a number nine in there. We're about to find out. Cass, whose socks How old for the people that wear these socks? >> Ages four to seven. >> Four to seven. If you got a four to sevenyear-old, you better buy these socks or we know that you don't love them. >> You ready, G? >> I'm ready. Flash. I mean, it's 20% off. >> Flash. >> Only 30 seconds. You gave them? >> Oh,

shoot. We'll give them a little bit more time. That's fast. But let's see. Here we go. We now know that Gretchen loves her children. Good job, Gretchen. >> We now know that Sunny 48879. We know that Steve G We know that the wall. We know that >> Gibby winner. >> Oh, we have a Gibby winner. And the winner of what? What was it? >> It's a socks. The socks. >> Oh, the socks. Nice. My bulldog family.

I like that. The bulldog family. U Bulldog family. You've got to look into be friends. You look like you're new. Maybe you're not, but you still have yellow letters. My bulldog family, you must learn about the badass bulldog. Oh, he's new new. My bulldog family, go take the quiz, but go to vfriends.com, hit characters, and go find the badass bulldog. >> Here, should we run another Flash? >> Uh, yes. Run another Flash. That was unfair. People

had like one second. Can you please give them a [ __ ] >> you know? Can we get like two minute? What do you got? A minute. >> A minute. >> Jeez. Can you do two minutes or you got a It's not running yet. >> It's not. Okay. Can you do more? >> Yeah. >> Give people a chance to buy the socks. You're the one pressuring me to sell some socks and then you give people one [ __ ] second

to buy the socks. Two minutes. Let's go. It's the Tuesday after Labor Day. Give people a second. Give them a second. Cass 2 minutes on the flash sale. 20% off. Very important. We are going to put I'm going to put a blog post out. If you said earlier that you have a kid under nine, but you did not buy the socks, I'm putting out a blog post saying people that don't love their children, and I'm going

to put your full name, your address, and your social security number in the blog post. So, do not be that person. Buy a pair of socks for your children. All right, you can do it right there down below. Pick up a pair of socks. Paul Garza, what's good? Where you from? What's your question? >> I am from uh West Texas. So, Desa, Texas. Um, so I'm 34 years old. I actually just recently started a garage cleanout

business. Uh, we go and clean people's garages out and then we buy the stuff they don't want and we're trying to resell. I uh, >> bro, Paul, I swear on my children's health, I wish I was running this business. That is like my You just literally described my dream life. Go and eat [ __ ] and clean [ __ ] And I'm not scared of anything. I'll walk in dead rodent. I'll pick that [ __ ] up with my hands and not

wash my hands for a week. I'm not scared of [ __ ] Court. >> That's just unsanitary. >> I don't give a [ __ ] I don't give a [ __ ] if it's unsanitary. And what? Court, >> I will let him talk. Let me just finish my excitement. And then to find like if I [ __ ] clean out some dirty dirty [ __ ] garage and then on top of it, I find some He-Man figures in the corner. Oh [ __ ] All right. Go ahead,

Paul. >> No. So, we're we're working through some bottlenecks of trying to get stuff sold out. We're trying whatnot. We're doing Facebook Marketplace. It's going it's slow. Um I where I I'm in an interesting place right now is I also have a full-time job. >> I see. >> I'm a marketing director, so I work, you know, 8:00 in the morning. I'm 6:00 in the morning really if you count taking my kids to work or to school.

And um and then it's 5 to whenever to try and get stuff sold. And then we're mostly cleaning stuff on on the weekends right now. Makes sense. So I think it's a process of going through and and trying to build that out. I think the biggest thing that question I have is it at what point or what kind of indicators do you look for for like yes this works this is going to be something that I

can do full time you're asking the right question. Watch this. >> Have you Paul have you heard about the concept of common sense? >> Yes. >> Good. Let's play common sense game. Can I get some music for the common sense game? This is gonna be an ongoing thing. I'm like it's time like like we got to make a little thing like maybe make an AI song with me where I'm like rapping like common like I think

it's like time for the common sense it's like price is right common sense game common sense game common sense game common sense game all right good it's time for the common sense game with Paul from West Texas All right Paul question number one in the common sense game have you been able to get customers >> yes >> how much are they paying you to Clean a garage. >> Uh $699. >> $699. >> Yes, sir. >> You

need to quit your [ __ ] job. Are you out of your [ __ ] mind? What? $699? I would do it for $69. And that wasn't a high school joke. >> Oh man. >> Paul, you're getting paid >> $700. Yes, sir. >> What? >> Yep. >> And how many I mean, let's go to the next question. I didn't even know the game's over. How many How many garages have you cleaned? >> Uh, we've done 16 so far. We're only

about a month in. >> Paul, you're an [ __ ] Paul, you're a [ __ ] [ __ ] You have an enormous business. Do you know how many [ __ ] people in West Texas would clean garages for $3 an hour under the table? You just need to build the infrastructure. Let's go. How'd you get the 16? >> Facebook, >> bro. Because you know how to do the marketing. You know I'm right about this Facebook local ads thing. You know I'm right. And

you also know that people are lazy or incapable or prefer like me. I'm not lazy, but I'd rather pay for something I don't want to do. I'll happily pay 700. But I'm rich as [ __ ] I have no idea why people are paying 700. $699. Paul. >> Yeah. Yeah. We have Paul. Wait, wait, wait. Oh, wait. >> Go ahead. >> Here's the best part. Question three in the common sense. Play the music. The common sense game. Common

sense game. The common sense game. All right. Back it Paul. Question number three in the common sense game. Have you found any expensive, worthwhile stuff in any of these 16 garages? >> Uh, we found a furniture. I found some $600 baseball gloves. I mean, yeah, there's some good stuff. >> You have a Paul. I hate you. I hate you. I also broke these, but that's good because these are broken anyway. Paul, I hate you, bro. What

are you talking about? Quit your [ __ ] job now. >> I I think it's just it's the it's the security that scares me cuz I've got >> You can get a Paul. You can get another job if this fails. You're doing this for like three hours dominating. You'd be able to sell this [ __ ] on whatnot, eBay, Facebook Marketplace if you had time. You don't have [ __ ] time. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> $700. >> Say that. >> Yeah. Do

it again. >> Yeah. >> Is the wife hearing this? >> No, she's not here. Uh I'm I'm sure she'll love to watch this later. >> Is anyone hearing this? >> Yeah, I've got I've got my co-workers here at the the job I'm talking about. Leave. >> They should quit, too, Paul. I mean this quit too. >> Paul, if you quit and it fails, you can get another job being a marketing executive. Everybody's going to have jobs.

Don't let this AI thing scare you. You like I could even just tell by your temperament like just talking to you for five minutes. By the way, this is how I hire people. Just five minutes I could tell that you can get. By the way, I'm gonna make a prediction. If your garage thing fails and you have to go back in the market and and you're like there you're it's that night, right? You're laying in bed

and you're like, "Play the music." Like, "This is playing, right? You're thinking about this moment. All right, turn it off." And you're laying there, you're hearing the music, and you go, >> "Man, [ __ ] Gary Vee." Right? If that's the moment you're in, right? >> Sure. >> Let me tell you what's going to happen the next day. You're gonna get a job that pays you more than what you're getting paid now. >> Yep. Yep. I'm It's just

It's fear. You're 100% right. >> You've sold when Did you see my [ __ ] face? $699. >> Yeah. >> In West Texas. >> Yeah. Yeah. We got We got oil money. >> I know you do. That's fair. But still, man, that's Manhattan prices. >> Damn it. I was afraid you're going to say all that. Uh, but I think I knew it was coming. >> Here's what you do. You go ham now on your ads and get bookings

for like another hundred, right? You position the ads as, "Hey, we're taking we This has been massively successful. We're taking clients for November and December." You see what I'm doing? Y that >> then you push that as hard as you [ __ ] can and then you see that you if you actually get three 400 bookings >> then you actually get all those people around you right now to quit and you guys go hard. >> Yeah. Yeah. >>

Got it. You frontload it. You frontload the demand. Create the security that you're looking for. >> But the real security for you I gave you, which is you can get another job. Now I'm going to really stun you. Let me I'm going to whisper. Even though the hot mic is hot Mikey, I'm just going to go in for it. Including maybe this job >> because if you're actually decent, they'll take you back sometimes for an increase.

>> Yeah, that's Yeah, that's happened once before actually. >> Oh, well, dude. Come on, Paul. >> Yeah, I know. >> I hate you. >> Oh, I love you, Gary. I love you, too. You know, I'm joking. >> And uh this whole business model was based around a lot of the stuff that I've been seeing you do. >> No [ __ ] Paul. >> Yeah. >> No kidding. >> Pretty [ __ ] awesome. >> No [ __ ] kidding, Paul. >> Sorry. >>

Paul, I'm going to kill you if I check up on you in a week and you're not doing this. Like, kill you. Like, you're dead. >> Okay. >> Do you want your children to be fatherless? >> No. Oh god. No. >> Okay. So, come on, man. Are you [ __ ] $699 and you get their stuff? >> Yeah. >> In just a little area of Wex, Texas, you do understand you could scale the [ __ ] out of this. You

do know like kids built up that 1-800 junk pickup. Like this is a big business. >> Yeah. Yeah. There's And even in just West Texas, there's there's several towns just outside Leo, Amarillo, St. Angelo, Abalene. no one has uh any competition to what we're doing. Um so there's there's plenty of room for that for sure. I think it's just we're like I said, we're a month in. So the fear is just this is working so damn

well. I'm is it just a a fever dream? Is this just kind of a fluke? That's my concern. You know, >> I know what your concern is. It's what everyone's concern is. For some reason, when people see good, they're like, "Oh, this can't be." But when they see bad, they're like, "That's true. >> You guys are all [ __ ] up out here." Literally, you believe negativity blindly. Like, oh, the neighbor's stealing. Yeah, the neighbor's stealing. But, oh

my god, I've proven myself I have a real business. Nah, that can't be real. It's too good to be true, [ __ ] It happened. >> The other [ __ ] is hearsay. >> Yep, I'm with you. Damn it. Yeah, I'm with you. >> AI is going to take my job one day in 97 years. I better [ __ ] stress about it every minute. >> Over here, I'm [ __ ] selling garage cleaning for 700 bucks all day long. I haven't even started

spending ad money. There's nobody else doing it. And we get their free [ __ ] Let me cry that I don't know how to sell the free [ __ ] fast enough. You [ __ ] [ __ ] Come on, Paul. >> You're right. You're right. >> I know. I'm right. >> I appreciate this so much. This was I needed this. >> Good, man. I'm happy to give it to you. I love you, bro. I'm so [ __ ] proud of you. Go hard as [ __ ]

You clearly know what to do with the Facebook ads. I know it will work. I know it will work. Which is why you were able to piece it. I'm proud of you. No, like I've literally pieced this together. Have told people to do this at scale. You actually put it together without me fully saying do this exact thing, which is like I'm a very big fan of like get you to the water, but I need you

to drink because if I tell you to do it exactly, you're going to lose. Like like too many people will do it and lose. And like I don't want to get it muddied. You listened. put it together, have the marketing background to know how to make good ads. I'm giving you some insights on how to future sell, give you, you know, like it's it's there bro. >> Right. >> Yeah. >> I'm excited. But yeah, I'm with

you, >> bro. You can get another job. >> Yeah. >> If it makes you feel better, let me give you another thing to like triple down on your fear. While you're building this 60, 70, 80 hours a day, a week, excuse me. You can interview for other jobs. once a week for 30 minutes on Zoom or physically. >> Yeah. >> Just to have it there. >> I I think you just need peace. I just think that

you need peace of mind. >> I think it's so the the little backstory. I mean, I think what what hurt me a lot, what's going on in my head right now is um we I had a marketing agency I was running precoid and we had a lot of oil filled companies that were on and I'm stopping you >> that that you were running a company versus a job. >> Uhhuh. >> Right. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's just

the fear of going back to >> entrepreneurship. >> Mhm. and then go into zero >> because it's different now. You know, I was in my 20s. I had no kids. I had no responsibilities. And so, it feels different now. >> Of course, it feels different. You scared kids, you know. Yeah.

Every single thing she had in her room was from the garbage. My cousin Bobby from Wine Library >> found a car seat from a

1970 Chevy in the garbage in the corner in Queens and dug it out and that was literally the seat she sat in. whatever a [ __ ] rocking chair or whatever the [ __ ] it is.

Like, I don't mind that side of it. I could move back into a cardboard box if I wanted to. >> Right. So, what So, what you're doing what you're doing is you want to decide to ruin your kids' life by making them entitled and

soft and trust fund babies. >> So, you don't want to do this, which will actually, ironically, get you more success, but you don't want to do this because of the ideology of going right down the path of what the last 30 years of bad parenting has looked at. So almost it's not me I'm concerned about. It's uh white conversation. >> No [ __ ] dick face. >> Yeah. >> And >> it's one Yeah. No. Yeah. I don't And

You just said she's fully supportive. >> Paul, you're the worst. >> Well, she's supportive. She's supportive because Paul, you're the worst. Paul, >>

what do you mean? >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm an [ __ ] I know. I know. [ __ ] >> But you're capable. What's pissing me off? If you were a loser, I wouldn't be saying this. I'd be like, "Stay with the job dude." >> You know what I mean? Like, that's the worst part. You're you're the best version of a loser. You're a winner. >> Yeah, >> that's putting on loser makeup. >> Yeah, I missed that in my 20s, not

The kids have no [ __ ] idea what the [ __ ] you're talking about, Paul. >> They don't. They don't. >> Blaming the kids. >> You know, I am. >> No, no. Here's what actually happened. Instead of blaming the kids who have no [ __ ] The one-year-old [ __ ] his

pants right now. Literally, as we speak, your one-year-old is [ __ ] their pants. >> Okay. So is a three-year-old probably, by the way. >> And the six-year-old's like me, they're pissing their pants.

You have a wife who's fully supportive. Here's what actually happened. You took a loss during CO and you've not been

able to realize that was a good thing. You've decided it's a bad thing. >> It's you, bro. >> Yeah. >> It's not baby mama. It's definitely not the three munchkins. It's [ __ ] you. Yep. >> Man, that's a lot, >> bro. It's It's actually wonderful, bro. Like, I'm proud of you, man. This is [ __ ] phenomenal. You, first of all, you've done a couple things. One, you've just helped a ton of people. How many people see themselves in

Paul? And don't be full of [ __ ] because you want to be a winner and associate with Paul because he's clearly a winner. Like, don't say that because none of you are not all of you are Paul. But some of you are Paul. You're winners putting on loser makeup. So, you see what's happening, Paul? Like, you know what I mean? Like, you're first of all, you're helping people because you had the courage to come up here and

do this with me, bro. $6.99. >> Yeah. >> You could always get another job. You do understand that, right? No, 100%. I mean, I've had multiple jobs over the years. Of course. Yeah. >> Paul, you do realize that there's other places to live besides West Texas and America right? >> God damn it. Yeah, I know. I [ __ ] know. >> So, you're going to say to me like, I'm trying to go through every angle of what your

loser makeup is trying to send you down. Oh, but Gary, if I give up this one, this is the best agency in the area, so if I go if I have to come back and they don't give me a job, I can't get it. Well, then go to [ __ ] Houston [ __ ] Oh, but like my wife likes this house. I'm like, get another nice house. >> Like I don't know. Get the [ __ ] out of Texas and go
