[Music] according to that. Uh, we're good over here. Uh, no audio over there and you're muted. Nobody can hear me. I mean, there's almost every single person in chat saying no audio. Hey, I see you, Sid, but every single person in the chat's saying no audio. Just started. Oh, just started. Okay, can you guys hear me now? There it is. Oh, interesting. All right. Sound is back. What was that all about? The source was switched on

that to It was Okay, we got it. All right. So, it's wrong and now it's right and now we're back. Okay, good. Everybody, welcome everybody. I'm aware there's a huge uh yellow banner over my face, but I need you to get over to garyve.com/whatnot if you want to watch this show officially. Get the free giveaways. Rips, let's put up uh some stickers right now for free. Court show these little stickers on my hand cam here. Um

Nice little pack of stuper of the manga stickers. We're gonna give this away right now. A free giveaway going up on whatnot right now. Let's get into the show. Aaron, what do you got on the first question? Okay. Question from Andrew, 22 years old.

What would be your advice to a three-year Walmart associate who's having trouble promoting and moving up? I have the capability and experience, but not the opportunity. Should I cut my losses and find somewhere else? Yes. You know, cutting losses is like like I think this is a humongous issue for the world. Notice how he asked the question, should I cut my losses? People think putting a couple years into a job is cutting the loss. It's not

cutting loss. You had an experience. You also don't know if you're right or they're right. A lot of employees love to [ __ ] on their bosses and their boss's bosses and saying not getting the opportunity. Meanwhile, they might just suck. And him going to Target. Good news. When you're at Walmart, Target is interested. Target's interested, bro. What's his name? Andrew, Andrew, go to [ __ ] Target. Now, if Target after a year or two also says you suck, you

should go to Five Below. And if Five Below says you suck or blow, well then guess what? Now you're 0 for three, three strikes, you're out at the old ball game, you need to rethink your whole [ __ ] sitch. But if he's not getting the at bat in a Walmart store, A, there's like thousands of Walmart stores. B, there's other retailers and he needs to figure out if he's good or he's right that he's not being seen.

Some people are not being seen and some people stink at their job. And you don't know until you have multiple data points, you know? But like look, you've got to you got to respect if you go 0 for four and every store says you suck, like you're going to have to eat it a little bit. And maybe maybe retail is not your career. Maybe you need to be in camp counseling or you know a chef. So

that's the answer. Next question. If you want to ask a question everybody, I see a lot of you asking. You cannot do that from Facebook, YouTube, uh Twitch. I see all of you. Thank you. You cannot do that from um uh Instagram or Tik Tok. You have to go to garyve.com whatnot and ask your question on here. If you're on one night like whatnot, excuse me. Like I see you. Hold on. We have 400 people in

That's one of the reasons to be here. The other is you can officially ask your question and be on video. If you ask your question in whatnot, use the question mark as you can see if you're whatnot. That will come across yellow. Thank you

I tweaked some settings. Yeah. Nice. Very good. Um, uh, anyway, let's uh let's get into the next question. Aaron, from you, Sid, we have people coming up on on video soon. Uh everybody we are DM if we really like

Subjectively

Sid liked your question. He's going to throw you up here. Um, or you just asked the question and Aaron's going to pick some and ask me on the mic like she's going to do right now. Aaron, fire away. Gary B. This question is from Ally. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom who is feeling financial pressure to work. I'm overwhelmed trying to find a job that helps me be a presentish parent to my toddler, have a flexible schedule,

and support my family financially. What do I do? I search and search and feel like I'm hitting dead ends. More searching. I mean, like, that's a lot to ask, you know? Again, we're in this new era. We need to understand this new era. Everyone's like, "It's so hard now. It was so much better for our parents." It wasn't better for our parents. Our parents were willing to sacrifice time with kids to get the finances done. We

want more. It's just the truth. Like, are we are gang? Can I get all 10,000 of you across all platforms to agree that we just want more? Like our [ __ ] parents and our grandparents generation really were willing to take an L in certain categories. We want more and companies are like sorry like like again I keep saying this about businesses. They don't have the luxury of being just your family. They don't have the luxury of being

[ __ ] like school like where it doesn't [ __ ] m like there's ramifications. Companies go out of business. Companies are going to use AI. Companies are going to pick who their best employees are and they're going to decide best is time put in or impact while time. But let me be very transparent as a boss. I don't need any of my employees to work 100 hours a week for me to be like they're the best. If they work

se let's just be even more direct. There are employees in the all my companies that work 42 hours a week but they're incredibly impactful in those 42 hours and I'm good. And there's other employees that work 67 hours and people know me like hard work and all of that. But if they're not impactful, they're not as good. It's just real life. It's either impact or like some version of less impact but more hours put in. Like

like not all of us get the same output or impact on the time amount we spent. I can do a 15-minute meeting and really have financial impact. Most of the people that work for me cannot. That's just real life. And that's just the game. So, you know, here's a problem. The problem is we're asking for too much. We just are. Read that again. Slow. Okay. I'm I'm currently a stay-at-home mom who's feeling financial pressure to work.

I'm overwhelmed. Hold on one second. I apologize. Sally Cab. Sally Cab. Big win. All right. Rips. I want to give away something bigger. Is this like available to give away the signed court? Can you show it to the Here we go. Big one. This is like a $200 flip on eBay cuz of the signature. Look at this. The Gratitude Gorilla with the Gary Vee Auto. Maybe 90 bucks. I don't know. 120. I don't know what it

would go for, but free [ __ ] money for everybody. Just get it. And if you love it, great. Why am I losing this game? There we go. If you get it, great. The gratitude gorilla. It'd be nice to like sit on your shelf to remember that gratitude is good with the auto. With the Gary Vee auto. This is straight free. Somebody's going to get this for free. The the giveaway is up right now. You cannot get this

everybody on the other channels. You cannot get this for free because you're on whatnot and excuse me, you're on Tik Tok and Instagram and YouTube and LinkedIn and Facebook. Get over to the humongous yellow banner that is covering my face. Go to garybe.com/whatnot. Download the app and get over here. Who's on their first whatnot ever right now? Put first in the chat. Aaron, read it nice and slow about what this woman is asking for. Okay. from

Ally. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom who's feeling financial pressure to work. I'm overwhelmed trying to find a job that helps me to be a presentish parent to my toddler is have a which she's being fair. I give her a lot of credit. Have a flexible schedule and flexible schedule. Be present. Mhm. And support my family financially. What do I do? This is where I think entrepreneurship and live selling can come in. My actual answer to her

is to buy [ __ ] at thrift stores and garage sales and flea markets and look around the house for random stuff and post on Facebook and look at Facebook marketplace and sell [ __ ] on eBay and whatnot. How about that? How about that curveball? When we're asking the reason she's looking and looking and looking is companies don't want her. They're like they're not. And by the way, there are hundreds of thousands of C companies that would want someone,

but it sounds like the schedule has to be a flexible way that doesn't work for a lot of companies. It's just real life. I keep, you know, like, you know, can you fix the chat, Court? Um, it's just real life and like hopefully she can find something and I hope like, you know, but like a lot of like my dad's liquor store can't be flexible with ours. It's retail. It's open. It like needs like you know,

like I don't know. Like, so I like the idea of taking things in your own hand and and buying and flipping. And I think she can make a,000 bucks a month easy flipping. I think everyone can make $1,000 a month easy after 3 to four months of really learning, right? Really being on eBay, understanding what's worth money, really going to the thrift store every day, you know, really, really, really, really going there, garage selling, like re,

you know, like really learning flipping, you know. So that's my answer to that. Uh there are 600 of you or so on whatnot and only 334 of you have literally entered to get a free $100 item. Please click up here right now. It's literally click a button. One of the reasons people are in one of the reasons people are in huge financial trouble is literally all they have to do is hit this giveaway button on the

top right above my screen to get free money and they're not doing it. [ __ ] Gatsby Global. What's good? Hey Gary, how are you? I'm well brother. Are you a Bears fan or is that just a hat? It is a Cincinnati Reds hat. Oh [ __ ] you're right. I'm getting rusty. Are you a Reds fan or uh or uh Good time. How old are you? 32. Love it. You're too young for You're too young for Juan and Carion,

right? Uh no, I still brother Edwin. Yeah, Edwin was Yep. All right, brother. Go ahead. Um well, by the way, Vayner Vayner Sports represents Burns and Matt Mlan, right? That's exactly right. You're on top of your [ __ ] I'm impressed. Thank you. You guys know you guys are up good players. Um in a day where of course social shopping is on the rise and of course you're crushing it on whatnot. Um IG live you can utilize of

course Tik Tok shop. Should we still try to utilize actual brickandmortar stores too for new products and new IP or should we try to lean in on lean lean in for lean in on online first? Get your leverage online first. When you say lean into brick and mortar, are you saying you made a product and you're hoping Walmart or Albertson's or Marshalls will carry it? I would say the re the way those stores are making their

decisions now is they are looking for momentum and sales and heat from social and live shopping and then they bring the stuff in. They're trying to guess less themselves. It's much better for Walmart and Claire's and Five Below and 7-Eleven to know already there's demand than to guess. So you'll have more leverage by building heat online. Cool. All right. You got you, brother. Good luck. I like your shelf back there. Hey, appreciate you. There's some good

[ __ ] back there. See you. See you. I like that shelf. All right, Aaron, you're up. Everybody, if you have a question, ask it in whatnot, use the question mark.

Jeremy Mah just enjoyed the experience of getting something for free. How exciting is that for Jeremy Mar? Look at that. So excited for Jeremy. Everybody who's free can do it right now. Look at Look at Katie Oramama. Katie Oramama just had an Oramama moment. All right,

Erin, fire away through the question. Okay, this question is from Andreas. Gary, what's on one underrated platform or tactic that small businesses aren't using enough to grow in 2025? Live social shopping, IRL streaming, Twitch kick, that whole game. um AI learning to be able to make much more content easier without having a million-dollar team. um small businesses. Uh if you have a physical store, starting to actually live sell from your store, even during store hours, so

people can see you're doing it. Even shoppers coming in local influencer marketing. Every local business on earth, every local business on earth that sells something should go to Instagram, search their town at the top of the screen, right? Like, let me just show Can you zoom in here, Court? All right. Ready? Do we Here we go. Can you get my screen? Here we go. Every single business on Earth should go to the top of their screen

and like if you're on Instagram and put Newton Mass, right? You're putting Newton, Massachusetts, right? That's what I just did. It's a little hard to see. I get that. But I just typed in a town and then results pop up, right? And you can put like, you know, literally results from that area. And so this photo is from there. and you look at all of them and you figure out who influencers are locally who live locally

and do micro influencer deal with local celebrities. You know, if you're a pizza shop, you just DM 13 people that post. You can you can look up the accounts that show up in your general area. You see somebody that lives in Newton, Mass has 13,000 followers, you DM that person, be like, I want to give you free food. Come in and post and tag because they're local and there's a little bit of a local element to

that. There's just so many things you can do, so many tactics. All right, next question here. Uh, this question is from Ryan. How do I navigate a narcissistic boss when I love the job? [Music] That's [ __ ] hard. Um, you don't love the job cuz the job includes the narcissistic boss. you you love the the tangible parts of the job. There's no job on earth that there isn't other jobs like that with at least a more neutral

or remarkable boss. People have to quit more like I don't know like people need to spend time on LinkedIn posting content and creating opportunities. Again, I mentioned it yesterday cuz I'm really just giving her love. Courtney's posting all this good content on how to help beginners start live streaming OBS. That potentially leads to opportunities. I want Courtney to like her job cuz I want her here. But I I get excited when people do content because I

know it opens up opportunities. And by the way, she might be dreaming of living in Barcelona. She's a young woman once in her life and she could get an actual message from somebody in Barcelona saying, "Hey, I've seen your videos on this. I want to start doing live streaming. I want to do this. Right? We all remember Dustin used to work here. Dustin Lee used to work here. Remember Dustin Braden? Remember that dude? Like he's he's

not here anymore, right? Because him being associated and building brand through me led to a very high net worth boss in Arizona who wants to have similar outcomes to my career. Like whether you get it through the shine of association with a person or you create it for yourself like Courtney's doing or a combination of the two, people need to start putting out more content about their skills and knowledge and passion to lead to opportunity or

if they don't want to do that cuz they're weird and nervous about it. They're weird about it. They're not weird. Um they need to start DMing and applying to more jobs if they're unhappy. You do not love a job if you don't love the boss. And if you're using the word narcissistic, you've now done enough homework to understand what that is. A a narcissist is a very tough human to interact with. It's a very substantial human

flaw. It's a really tough thing to navigate. It's a non-winning game. It's like all four walls are blocked in. And that person needs a lot of therapy and like a lot of work. So if she or he was she, what was it? Um Ryan. If he's figured out that truth, that's rough, man. like that to me is really worth looking for some other opportunities. So Paul Gary, how are you? I'm quite well. It's lovely to see

you. It's PK here. It's great to see you, PK. I have a uh a personal question. It's it's tough to ask. Um my my mother's recently been diagnosed with uh kind of between stage three and four lung cancer, unfortunately. Um I'm so sorry, PK. No, that that's okay. Thank you. My question is I feel like my work ethic at work is struggling as it should. Like grieving grieving. I can tell you right now, brother, you know

where I sit on work ethic cuz you know, I know you've been around these parts for a bit, brother. I'm on the record that when those unfortunate days happen in my life, I will be a shell of myself from a productivity standpoint. Right? We must become much more gracious to ourselves of times of grief. It's a little ironic cuz I have the gracious grizzly bear. You've got to be gracious to yourself here, brother. Like, you're you're

allowed that. Now, now I own my own businesses and when I when I'm less productive during those devastating chapters in my life, my business is just going to feel the effects, but no one can quote unquote fire me, right? You've got to balance a little bit of like making sure you're overcommunicating with your place of work to make sure you're not putting it because I've had unbelievable amounts of people DM me unfortunately who've been let go

in this situation because it's been pro too prolonged for their boss's subjective opinion of what they're willing to be gracious about. And so you don't want to double compound your worries. So, make sure you're a good communicator and honest with your job. That's the thing. I've kind of been keeping it close to my chest. I haven't really dulged much to my work yet, just because there's a lot of unknown right now. It's just kind of going

through treatment. Do you think I should be more How do you How do you Let's talk it through. I want to make this valuable for everyone. How good do you feel about the humanity and kindness and graciousness of your organization or bosses or managers or boss's boss? Yeah, I mean, they are very understanding. I I know that they How long have you worked there? Take uh 10 years this. Okay. I think you're in a great spot,

brother. I think you go have a real combo. And and and again, you only know if you like, look, there's a lot of people who grief who actually need to be at work. It's escape. Of course. Of course. There's been people who I've given time to that have come back 3 days later and said, "Gary, you're the best." and but I'm back because like these last three days were actually the worst and I actually need even

though I might be running at 65% I need to be here. Um so you know you just got to figure it out you know what works for you but for 10 years the way you just responded to me you've built equity you seem to feel like it's not a coldhearted organization. I think you I think you need to go uh I think you need to go and uh have a proper combo brother. Okay. I appreciate you

Gary as always. I'm sending you a lot of love and prayers, PK. Love having you part of this community. Love you, bro. Appreciate it, Gary. Love you. Take care, my man. All right, Aaron, let's keep this rocking and rolling. Uh, everybody, I know a lot of you Oh, you want to do a flash sale? We only have 10 left. I don't know if I even want a flash of that. Just put them up. Uh, this is

There's only We only made 100 of these and there's 10 left. Put them up. 66 bucks. I'm not I'm not putting those on sale. In fact, I'm going to raise the price in a week if they're still here. So, I might give one away if people hang around a

little bit longer. Actually, I would have given one away, but we only have 15 shares on this show. I This community hates me, reps. They hate me. I cannot believe how hated I am. We have 15 shares. bottom right corner. You could share this to your family group text, to your Facebook page, to your like there's so many places you can share this on Twitter. A lot of you are part of Discord. A lot of you

part of Twitter. A lot of you have a Telegram or WhatsApp group. A lot of you have that fantasy football group. Like a lot of you have all these things and only 44 of you have shared. Only 44 of you have shared. Really inappropriate. Uh we're going to go to Aaron and then we'll go to Alan K live soon. But Aaron first. Okay. This is a question from the chat actually. Um, I was successful with my

company but didn't sell when things were good. Now I'm 36 and starting over. Any advice on regrets and starting again? Looking backwards is not good for your neck or your soul. That is my advice. Darren, I've made a million mistakes. Not 10, not 40. I have made so many mistakes. It's like laughable because I have so much opportunity the last 10 years. Last night I was in dinner with some people and the kid is the founder

of Madappy, the brand, you know, that ripping hot iconically epic fashion brand that makes a fuckload of money. He reminded me nicely that I passed on investing, you know, like like like I only make mistakes. In fact, I would argue that my life up to this point is predominantly massive amounts of mistakes with a couple occasional good decisions. And I love it. I don't know what else I do not understand on the collecting capacity of especially

youth right now. Youth has gotten so good at being critical on themselves 5 seconds into the game. Using a sports analogy, the amount of children under the age of 35, he's 36. It doesn't say the age. Oh, 36. Yes. Yeah. The amount of children under the age of 37 on this earth that have started to dwell in a game of life, similar to a game of basketball where the score is 14-9 in a four quarter NBA

game and they're crying cuz they're down 14 to9 is staggering. So if you follow basketball and you understand my analogy right now, you need to wake the [ __ ] up and understand how real what I just said is. I don't give a [ __ ] that he missed it. I missed everything. What are you going to do? What What's he going to do? Cry? What's he going to do? Go on a random live stream and ask some guy he

admires what he should do. It's over, Sid. It's [Music] there's no [ __ ] time machines. What? Get over it. Because And here's why. Not because I'm a dick or like trying to give tough love. Because we have no Because, bro, we have no choice. You have no choice. Why? How? Coming from a place of regret, cynicism disappointment is such a bad way to start a sentence. Coming from a place of offense where you want to learn and

build on top of why and how are remarkable. Using why and how from a place of regret is the poison in society. Yesterday's over. Learn from it and forget about it. You cannot give weight to yesterday. [ __ ] yesterday. [ __ ] you yesterday. Yo, yesterday go [ __ ] yourself. Alan K, what's good, bro? Hey, I'm just calling up. Um, glad to be on here and finally get to talk to you. Um, it's a pleasure, man. First, the the beard

mustache combo is epic, bro. Thanks. The Raleigh fingers is coming in, my man. Right. I'm I'm bringing it back. I'm bringing it back. I love it. Um, I'm a high school teacher. Um, and um, I have a new social media marketing class that I'm putting together and, uh, you know, I'm getting the best information. I love it. Thank you. Get the kids updated. Thank you. Um, and I'm, you know, so I'm using your info. I love

AI. I'm all about it. Once it came out, I'm doing everything with AI. I even wrote a book for teachers on how to use AI love um and they um the problem is a lot of teachers don't want to use AI right they don't want their kids to use the student and I'm the opposite I'm against the American education system even though I'm in it I tried to I try making like chat bots for my my

students and you know to help them study and do everything um and I love doing um you know AI um engineering right the prompt engineering the problem I have now is I'm a teacher I'm passionate about it I love helping you know teenage kids find their passion and do what they need to do I just don't know how to turn that into another income where you know it's hard to keep kids attention while they're in my

forced to be in my classroom let alone get them interested in what I have to you know, on their own. I would like to, you know, I'd like to turn it into my own like way of income. I got it. Uh, before I answer that, Ohio Thrifters just sent us 430 people. So, let's clap that up for Ohio Thrifter. All right, Ohio. On that note, ths put it up right now. The $66 pay the t-shirt free

I just don't do it in a classroom in an archaic system. I do it in the

entrepreneurial arena of live social and social media content. You should do that at scale. And that will lead to income opportunities of speaking, bookw writing to get paid on that courses and many other things. The classroom in the academic corporate structure of government is not the place to monetize for teachers. It's a place to scratch an itch. I admire the [ __ ] out of teachers. It's a destiny and a home for a lot of people. My sister

taught first grade for a long time. Uh I believe teachers are massive, but teachers come in all shapes and sizes. Some are in classrooms and some live in other places. If you're asking me a question of monetization, you must live elsewhere. Okay. So see I was looking at the whatnot right and I was like okay what if I did something like you're doing right now but what the hell am I going to sell like to also

a book but I'm saying if my my attention would be more to like the student and kids ain't reading no books today I understand so I hate reading books too I mean to be honest with you but but why should a kid buy anything from you whether it's a book or an online course when there's 8 trillion things of information for free exactly that's That's what I'm saying. So, like I don't So, like rule number one,

sell something people [ __ ] want. Okay. Well, how do you get people to want your book? Cuz I sold millions of books even though I put out the information for free. It's by putting out so much content for free and bringing so much value. Brother, do you know why so many people collect Ve friends?

There we go. Allan, give me one second.

I'll have you back. Here is a comic. You don't know which comic you're going to get. I'm actually going to give this away. This has value. I'm giving this away.

line. You got to figure out what you can actually sell. But I think that before you worry about like what I think you putting out a ton of information for free about what you know about AI on social media and live stream sessions will start to build a community which then will have monetizable value. So, I put I put the videos I'm making for my social media uh class. I actually put them on YouTube. So, hopefully

Yeah, but that's not read day trading attention. You know, in that purple book you just hung literally just held up. You know that I would [ __ ] on you if you just put it up the video on YouTube. I need you. What I'm saying is I put it on there cuz I want teachers to I get it to make your life easier just to use my my videos that I love that you're wonderful for. But if you

want to actually turn your world into monetization, you got to clip the [ __ ] out of that. Put it on Tik Tok, Instagram Snapchat YouTube LinkedIn Facebook, Twitter. Like, read the book and [ __ ] live the book. I know. Okay. All right, man. All right, man. Love you, man. Stay well. All right. Uh, Stefan, you can join by asking questions.

Everybody who's got a big yellow banner that says Garyv.com/whatnot over my face on the other live streams, get over here right now and say you just came over first time. Uh, who do we have live now? Darion. What's his name? Darien. Darien. Yep. How are you, brother? Pleasure. Well, thanks. How are you? Good, man. Where are you from?

Pennsylvania. Nice. Great to see you. Yeah, you as well, man. Thank you for taking the call. Of course. Uh, wanted to connect on more of a human level, please. Um, so there's a lot of messaging out there that if your circle isn't energizing you, motivating you, supporting you, making you a victim, or playing the victim themselves, you should shorten that circle and make your network the people that are really energizing you and giving you the support

you need. Yes. Then there's a lot of messaging out there that take your grind into your own hands and and make your own pathway and blaze your own pathway in the world. Both of those scenarios bring a lot of loneliness and you yourself find yourself alone many nights. Let's let's talk let's talk it out. The first part the first part that you brought out, brother, there's often when it's well said, there's a second part to that

sentence that has a comma in it that says, "And then go find people who bring you good vibes and good energy." Right? Let me explain to you V friends, my little universe. One of the reasons it's going so well doesn't have to do with how good of an entrepreneur I am and how well I'm operating. It's that a lot of people in the V friends community have literally found their best friends in the world by being

joint collectors of this. If you go look at Comic-Con, if you go look at a sporting event, if you go look at like, you know, all these things, people find things around similar interests that have a more and what I'm trying to do with be friends is bring a more positive vibe. I take what you're saying and it is valid. You're right. I I do think the first thing, which is limit your interactions, not cut completely

out cuz a lot of times, as you know, these are your best friends or your parents or your siblings. I don't I I'm not a big advocate of like never talk to your mom or brother again, but I am a big advocate of protecting your sanity when you have deep negativity around you. And maybe you don't talk three times a day, maybe you talk once every 3 days, right? And I do believe it is on all

of us that we have the ability to get out of our loneliness. But we must find our communities whether in interest in discord in Fortnite groups what you know chess clubs book clubs you know I will say through whatn not itself a little for whatnot I have met several individuals that I met through the app and then went and visited them and we hung out we grabbed drinks and had dinner and it it is a very

connective community and you can find long-term friends in communities like the hobby and virtual communities like whatnot. So 100% agree. Do you feel like you there's an opportunity for you, brother, to double down and quadruple down? Like hearing your question, sensing your energy, really excited about this conversation. I appreciate the vulnerability and the thoughtfulness cuz it's an important conversation. Do you believe that there's an opportunity for you to quadruple down on some of the things you're

finding in whatnot or other places that are showing you previews or are flirting with the ability to create a network of a dozen or so really positive, you know, friends? Do you think there's an opportunity there? There absolutely is. And there absolutely is an opportunity to connect more with individuals. And Robbie Rob, congrats on your streams as well. 100%. Everyone has that opportunity. Are you go ahead please? The second part of of the coin I think

is you know when you have a 9 to5 and then a 5 to 12 you know you don't have the opportunity to make space in the physical world with your friends that are here. And so that that in and of itself also creates a space of loneliness where yes the the digital community can fill part of that but doesn't fill the whole Yeah. I mean, I think if you're personally feeling that, my brother, I would say

that you are not allowed then Monday through Friday to do 5 to 12 and you're going to have to force yourself to give up one of those 5 to 12s on every Tuesday or every other Thursday, right? Like I I think that's going to be again really doubling down, really attacking like when you have this level of thoughtfulness and self-awareness and clarity that you're communicating with me on, I think it becomes the game of jumping into

the pool, right? Meaning when I hear that, that's also valid. That sounds very clear to me. And if you were my best friend in the world and we were having, which is kind of how I'm treating this conversation right now, I would say to you, brother, you've got to pick every Wednesday and [ __ ] 5 to 12. And you're going to have to join the bowling club, the pool club. You need to keep pounding and finding more

people in the general Pennsylvania area within an hour drive. Whatever you're missing that it's clear that you're searching for. Yeah. Yeah. Makes sense. keep going because I'm enjoy I actually think you're bringing a lot of value. What What of what we've talked about right now feels right or feels like Yes, Gary, I get that logically, but in my tummy right now, I don't feel like that's right. No, I I think your perspective of taking a day

off and using that day to be social and to go out and find something in the local community that is physical and something that you can create, you know, in person networks with. Um, I think that's completely valid. Uh, one of the things I've tried to do more is try to get more connected with my church. And so that's avenue. That's by the way, brother, you're going down a very good path. I think for a lot

of people in the last 40 years, the loss of community as people started to go to their their place of choice of worship on every Sunday was such a grounding, such a great community that a lot of people have lost. In fact, you know, it's funny. I go to church on Sundays in the fall and winter as well. It's called Metife Stadium, right? I I genuinely, and I mean this, my community of Jet Friends, right, of

New York Jet Friends is a real community for me. In fact, it's very church-like. We go there and we talk about our sins of ever picking this team as our favorite team. We we talk about the adversities of life, you know, like rooting for the Jets. Um, here's a great Jets fan walking by me right now. Alan Harker, part of that community. Like, like this is why I'm such a big fan of sports, by the way.

Especially when you're a fanatic, it starts to you be and you are religious about it. You build an incredible sense of community. And so, a actual religious like uh institutions, I'm pumped that you're leaning into that. And I think a lot of people synagogue, church, uh mausoleim like you know uh you know whatever their place of uh uh preference and and religion is is a great thing to do and in general I think also finding you

know that's obviously one form of community. I really do think interests you know like actually let's go a little bit deeper. What are some are you into movies? Are you into sports? Are you into cooking, golf? like what are some of your interests or things you're into or watch on TV or like give me give me a little more color commentary here. Yeah, I don't watch a lot of actual series on TV. I am big into

anime. I do play a little bit of video games. I round golf. I do um It's great. Also, I I sell sports cards here on whatnot and also in local uh card shows. So also let me ask you let me ask you a deep question. Let me ask you a deep question. Yeah. Do you trust people? Not always. Yeah. That's why I'm enjoying this right now. I [Music] I'm really excited about this, brother. I'm really happy

you and I are together. Um I notice how that like that was a maybe for some people watching right now in my team that was like a left field question, but notice how I went there and how good this feels for me right now. And I would have bet all of it um on uh on you answering that way. Uh I'm very fortunate. I have two very opposite parents. One of them trusts everyone until they give

them a reason not to. And usually it takes her a lot of reasons for her to lose that trust. I was fortunate enough to get that DNA and also be fundamentally parented by that person. The other parent trusts no one. And even when someone gives them years of good reason to fully trust, he is not capable of trusting them and is always waiting for the other shoe to fall and is actually searching almost often mana fastesting

and creating some weird non-truthful justification to lose the trust. Yeah, I would tell you that this is the path I want you to look through because you are doing a lot of great things in the first part of how we address the issue that we're talking about. It's the second part that's actually the punchline of the conversation you and I are having. Your DNA and your circumstances of growing up and your the things that happened in

life have put you in a place where it's a little harder to trust. And that that is leaning and leading to why we're in this predicament. And I will tell you if this is any solace and you're going to have to go on your journey and I'd love for you to hang out more with us. And good news, you're catching me at a great time in my career. Uh starting in October, I'm going to be doing

tea with Gary Vee and a night version of this. Okay. I'm actually contemplating cutting out alcohol permanently. So the winding down with Gary Vee thing is a little tough. though, I might do a non-alcoholic wine deal, brand deal. That could be a whole thing in itself. I might start a brand again. Anyway, nonetheless, um I I really like you to hang out a little bit with us, brother, cuz let me say one thing about this crew.

There's a lot of people in here that I've gotten to know over the last four or five years that are incredibly worthy of your trust. And I already feel like I have a good sense that they quote unquote won't let you down. And like anything in life, it becomes practice. Once you get three to four relationships where you get sustained two years where you it maybe it was uncomfortable to trust but they've done nothing to break

that trust and you're starting to get more and you're starting to get more comfortable. You'll then become stronger in being able to open up and trust and then you'll become so strong that even when someone does [ __ ] you up, right, and breaks your trust, it won't be a devastating knockout blow. It will just be a tough punch and you'll like wipe the blood off and move forward. That's what we need to build up. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

And that makes total sense. I I think you're spot on in terms of your analysis where I I do have trust issues from, you know, trauma in the past. Everyone does. Um it's and and by the way, it's incred news, brother. It's incredibly valid. It's appropriate because there's it me not having trust issues and you having trust issues does not make me better or more capable or more awesome. It's literally circumstantial. The fact that you have

the strength to go on here publicly, talk about this, put yourself out means you're brother, you're 90% of the way there. People that are able to do what you're doing right now, which is incredibly rare when they're feeling it. Most people that are in the exact predicament you're in are deflecting, blaming, and definitely not putting it out there. Right. And so, I'm incredibly proud of you. I'm I'm very I admire it quite a bit to be

honest. I'm glad I went with my intuition and kept this call because I think not only are you starting to help yourself, I genuinely believe in the thousands of people that are watching right now, like literally there's somebody who's literally you right now on whatnot who's literally benefited from these 7 to 10 minutes and are on their way. And man, I think it's uh I think you I think you can do this, man. I've watched people

I've watched some people not be able to get there, ones that I love deeply and I wish they could get further. But I've seen some of those people, including my father, get much further along. And I've watched people who actually It's time, brother. Yes. And getting into the the groove of meeting people and then finding that they are supportive and then finding that you can trust. And let me and like and let me take it let

me take you to step three. Yeah. Once you realize that no one's better than you and that no human should be put on a pedestal, even the ones you most admire. Yeah. Then it really gets going. The reason no one disappoints me is that I don't put anyone above me. We are only disappointed by ones that we put above ourselves. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and that's that's, you know, a life of service, you know, you put

people in front of yourself. By the way, by the way, I'm obsessed with life of service. I would argue that I give more than I take to everybody I ever meet. That has nothing to do with my ability to not put their subjective opinions about mere at a higher pedestal than the subjective opinions I have about my own self. Correct. Correct. Absolutely. Absolutely. No, I appreciate this conversation, Gary. I I thank you for all your advice

and support as always. And I really do hope there are others on the line that Oh, I got a couple good ones for you. There's a there's a guy in the chat named the Dalton Ty that you absolutely immediately have to get connected with who's very much leaned into his faith and is a great kid and also has ripped off a bunch of people at the National Sports Card Collection a couple years ago to own a

tremendous rare robot first sticker rookie card collection. And I appreciate even though he loves God very much, his entrepreneurial spirit shine through so heavy and he dominated and [ __ ] ripped off the faces of children and the unknowing at Chicago a couple years ago to build a dominant financial force of opportunity for himself. Oh my gosh, love it. Uh and uh and I will say there's a lot of people Michelle and uh everybody uh brother, what is

your Instagram and what is your can people see his what? No, they can't see his whatnot here cuz he's not on his whatnot. What's your whatnot in Instagram? I want to but if you are a great person in the V friends community, and a lot of you are not. So, please do not DM this nice man cuz that is not what we're doing. A lot of you are not at your ultimate great place. Some people are

work in progress. Unless you are at your ultimate great place where you are 100% well intended in your outreach to this wonderful gentleman, um uh please do not DM him. If you are fully there, hi Anthony would be at the top of my list. Uh, please DM this person, this great friend Damian. Damian, where can people find you on Instagram and whatnot, so they can DM you? Hobby_cast. H O B Y C A S T on

whatnot. Hobbycast sports, all one word on Instagram. Great. Hobby Hobby, we're going to pin it right now. Adrian, hobbycast. There it is. Everybody who's Let's be And you're in the general pencil. What? What part of Pennsylvania? Allentown area. Oh [ __ ] brother. I'm not far from you. You know, I grew up in Hunington. Well, no, I didn't grow up there, but right across the border, bro. My first my first baseball card shows were at the Philipsburg Mall.

Oh, yeah. Absolutely. That's 30 minutes away from me. I'm aware. And by the way, notice how Look at the Look at the goosebumps I'm getting. They're about to go away. I don't know if Court, get in here fast. Court hurry. That's so funny. I'll tell you why I'm getting goose I'll tell you why I'm getting goosebumps. I told you to join the bowling club and the most bowling I've ever did was in Easton, uh, Pennsylvania at

at the at the lanes there right across the very close to you. Yeah, absolutely. I don't go to East too much, but I know I know the area. Absolutely. 100%. All right. So, for everybody in West West Jersey or that general Allentown, Bethlehem, PA area. Yeah. So, and the chat's blowing up. There's a lot of people in the general area. A lot of people are hitting you up. You are about to get a really good community

of friends, my friend. But you, this is not them stepping up for you. This is you stepping up and having the courage to be disappointed and really working on do not put them on a pedestal. No one. No one. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Thank you so much, Gary. Very much. Appreciate the time. Of course, my friend. Have the best day. Yeah, you too. That's going to be a nice message for this crew and a good clip for

a lot of people. I hope millions of people watch that over the next 10 years because I think there was a lot there. Fix the chat. I think a lot of people are Thank you everybody. How do we feel about that? That felt like that's we're going to get some of those. That's what the fall and winter of 25. Okay, we're going to get that's what that's that right there was real [ __ ] [ __ ] That right like

I genuinely believe Damian's life's forever changed. And by the way, not because I did a nice job there, cuz I think I did do a nice job, but because of this incredible uh everybody, if you're new to V friends, this is not just a Pokemon Marvel thing. This is not just a big business that I'm trying to build. Both are true. This is a community that is built on this foundational truth, which is strangers become acquaintances,

acquaintances become friends, and friends become family. Be friends. And if you're in the whatnot chat right now and you become part of that family, if you're in that journey or if you can communicate to everyone, oh my god, the big show tonight. Give me that.

And I appreciate everything that you've done and uh dude, I've been following you for like 10 years. Thank you, bro. Oh my gosh. And I just started recently uh following you again uh back to back for last two months. And thank you. You

missed me, right? I'm good when people I've been around for so long that people laptop. Do you know I [ __ ] up years ago when I was like, "Stop listening to me, like never listen to me again, and go do your shit." Every day people are like, "I don't listen to you anymore." I'm like, "Did you do the shit?" They're like, "No." I'm like, "Wait, so you didn't do the [ __ ] and you stop listening to the one

positive [ __ ] voice in your head. What the fuck?" Anyway, I love when people come back after they lapsed for a while because they're like, "Oh, okay. I got it, Gary." Or, "This is annoying or whatever the, you know, NFTTS or be friends or garage sales or whatever the [ __ ] They're out, but when they come back, they remember what the [ __ ] truth is." Hell yeah. Hell yeah. But I appreciate you, man. So, real quick, uh, so I

I do multiple things. I I love the thrill of selling, providing quality for customers and and customer service products, all that. Uh so currently I do I do a a Christmas lighting during the offseason, Christmas lighting installation. I'm kind of curious on how to build a Christmas lighting business on the off season by making content around it. Now, I would literally make videos of you talking about t tips and tricks, how you think about it, things

you've seen while you're literally in the summer putting up Christmas lights on your own home. That is the video you're literally [ __ ] because that in itself is going to capture people in their feed. If I see right now a thumbnail or the screen preview of you hanging Christmas lights and it says Christmas lights in July, question mark, like that's going to get, you know, brother, people [ __ ] with Christmas heavy. Oh yeah, people [ __ ] love themselves some

there's people that live for just Christmas. Like their their Super Bowl is Christmas. Yes. And Dalton says, "Hi, I wonder why." Well, Dalton, I'm not saying for the right reasons like you where it's like, you know, the [ __ ] Christ [ __ ] the good stuff. I'm talking they just love the holidays and presents and [ __ ] Rudolph the [ __ ] reindeer and they [ __ ] love Frosty the [ __ ] snowman and they can't wait to go to New York and see the

[ __ ] tree and like, you know, the they're [ __ ] about Christmas. They [ __ ] like the food and like they like kind of not working for two weeks at the end of the year and they like Christmas, the commercial [ __ ] the bad stuff and good stuff. So, bro, Christmas works 24/7. Gotcha. So, continuously put on content just like you always say. Correct. Because when someone sees it on August 9th and they love your beard and they love your

spirit and you've got a warm spirit, they're going to DM you and be like, "Yo, can you can I can I like people don't just of course there's people that buy when it's timely." And then there's people that buy ahead of times. People love to plan. I don't. But some people get off like, do you know that people are playing planning right now their vacation next summer? There are people right now in the world doing research

and [ __ ] on hotels.com and being like, I'm going to [ __ ] go to Aiza next summer. People love a good, bro. People love to [ __ ] plan, bro. That's awesome. And like planning for who's going to install their Christmas lights now. You're doing a [ __ ] You're giving a [ __ ] gift to people. Oh. Uh, Stefan, no. It is not possible to tip me. I do not accept tips here. The way you can tip me is by becoming a collector

of V friends. I am building the next Pokemon Marvel. Go into the shop and buy Vfriend Friends thing and learn this world. Go to eBay, type in V friends, go to completed items. You will be blown away what we're building here. George, that's what you need to do. You need to start making Christmas content, Christmas lighting content 365 days a year. Got it. I mean, I would post on New Year's Day 2026 and be like, "Book

your Christmas lights insta." You [ __ ] haven't even taken down your Christmas lights and I want you to book me for next year. And there's somebody who will book you. Right on. Do you take Christmas lights down? Yes. Oh, I that all day, brother. All day. You should pound. I mean, that's the [ __ ] That's the good [ __ ] right there. That's the business. That's the [ __ ] business people cuz some people love the spirit of like, you know, like

I talked about yesterday. I don't know if you're watching like the guy who loves to drink some Bud Light and [ __ ] lawn do the lawn mower. There's the same people really like the Christmas lights thing. They're not chubby chase. They like it or they are chubby chase. Depends how you analyze that scene. But like, you know, like but taking it down, nobody [ __ ] wants to do that [ __ ] Yeah. It's It's And I've had calls people saying,

"Hey, my company never called back." And things like that. And I'm like, I'd be happy to be out there. And I' I've even helped some people for free, like right next door, like, hey, of course, cuz you're a good dude. Might as well check it out. Bro, I know people who keep Christmas lights up 12 months a year cuz they don't want to take them down. I'm I'm being dead serious. I know two people. Literally, it's

our second homes, so there's a little bit of that. But, hey, uh, so, so I still have one Christmas light piece at my house that I that I still have lit up. So, no joke on that. Hey chat, who's a sicko and loves to take down Christmas lights? Put sicko in the chat. Say sicko. You're a sicko. You like love it. Like you can't wait to take down the Christmas lights. There we go. There's a couple.
