The Garyvee Audio Experience

This episode was FIRE all around. Loved loved loved having Linda Cohn - one of ESPN's Sportscenter top anchors talk about the way she got to where she is. Her story's similar to mind in that she literally put in 7 days a week, and worked for free to break through into the massive success she is today. You really don't want to miss this one. The calls are good ;)

I'm constantly asked about my thoughts on work life balance, hustle culture and work ethic and I hope this one will answer some of those questions for you. There needs to be a conversation that your amount of hustle and grind is directly correlated to how happy or unhappy you are. If you're unhappy, you need to work and strive as hard as you can to change that. You're the only person who's able to change at that level so it's completely up to YOU to make it happen. Hope you enjoy these thoughts- hit me up on Anchor for more like this :)

On this episode of After The App, I sit down with Lightspeed Ventures partner Aaron Batalion and Product Hunt founder Ryan Hoover to talk about their backgrounds in coding and development, how entrepreneurship is blending together into tech culture, and our thoughts on emerging cryptocurrency.

This message is SO important, because it goes right back down to the core basics of what to do. Even if you're only starting out, as long as you're doing SOMETHING it's better than sitting idly by and doing nothing to push yourself and your message. Please please take this message to heart and run with it. Big thanks to Anthony M. for this read (IG: Beerswme). Enjoy

These fireside chats I get to do are some of my favorites, and I love when they consist of people under my own company. There's some fire questions in here, and I loved sitting down with the summer interns at VMLA to chat and expand the knowledge on both sides. We talked smart devices, where voice is starting and heading, and a ton more. I know you'll enjoy this - let me know your thoughts ;)

One of the big reasons that I'm obsessed with "hustle" and "grind" and just plain putting in the work is because that's the ONE variable that everyone can put in to change the outcome of their lives. And that comes out extremely clear and strong in this interview. Just because you failed at one thing doesn't mean you give up. Learn and get back up and go. Hope you enjoy this ;)

Another completely fire week in the books, starting with my brand new Podcast, #BrownPaperBags. Definitely make sure you give this one a listen - I sit down and do a blind wine tasting with Victoria's Secret Supermodel Erin Heatherton, Editor in Cheif of PureWow, Mary Kate McGrath and award winning winemaker and sommelier Andre Mack and things get wild. If you haven't heard this one you're missing out. Loved kicking off the first selection of Vaynernation reads, and of course throwing back to my overnight success video. Hope you guys love this one ;)

Loved this Q&A we did from my hotel room on a recent visit to Hong Kong. The questions these students asked were great, ranging from defining what's the most promising opportunities in biology are, to my thoughts behind what online shopping will be like in the future, advice for AI startups and ideas about why the US often lags behind other markets. This is a really good one, hope you enjoy ;) 

It may look like I came out of nowhere in a matter of years, but in reality my success was YEARS in the making. I didn't just flip a switch and all of a sudden get on Conan O'Brien, I spent every. single. weekend from when I was 14 working, learning, listening; This rant is the story behind all that. I'd love if you'd pass this on to someone who needs it, or just needs a little push. It's all time. Enjoy

What do Sommelier Andre Mack, Victoria's Secret Angel Erin Heatherton, PureWow Editor In Chief Mary Kate McGrath and I have in common? We love wine. So, we sat down and did a blind tasting, with wines sent over from Wine Library and man did this episode blow up. If you're not a wine fan, don't worry- is may still be one of the most FIRE episodes ever - we dove deep into evvvverything. Can't wait to do another one of these, so let me know your thoughts on this format!

Every single person that works within a human resources or CFO role NEEDS to give this keynote a listen. There's content in here that will not only improve your company culture, but give you a better understanding of your employee landscape. One big thing that you need to understand is that happiness isn't solely linked to title and money, but much much more. Once you start taking a look at what your employees are saying about the company on social media, you'll be armed with info to be able to make a massive positive change. Please please please listen closely to his one, I know you'll love it !!

This Keynote was definitely one for the books. I gave this keynote to the Rise conference in Hong Kong last week, for a group of entrepreneurs, and there's some great content in here. I touched on topics focused around staying ahead of platforms that are constantly changing, but that remain within the same basic framework of what communication will remain to be, what happens to attention when large companies spend a ton of money to advertise and where you can slip in, and mapping your actions to match your drive to entrepreneurship. Hope you enjoy this one! Let me know your thoughts ;)

Acting like a media company isn't just a good suggestion right now, it's mission critical. There's no excuse for not pumping out as much content and distributing it as far and wide as humanly possible - that's just the game.  I'm trying something brand new here and having the Vaynernation read out the articles I've been pumping out on Medium. If you want to read an article, hit me up! Shoutout to Matthew Bonelli (IG: @matthewjbonelli) for this read. 

Another total fire week in the books. If you missed ANY content this week, definitely make sure to go back and check it out. Love putting out these quick recaps so to keep you all update. This week was jam packed with an AskGaryVee with the President and CMO of K-Swiss that had some big news, my recently released chat with Black Enterprises, a catch-up with my college roommate, and that's just getting started. If you haven't checked out my brand new Alexa skill, definitely make sure you give it a listen too - Garyvee 365. Have a great weekend, get pumped for Monday ;)

Have you ever wondered exactly what I did while I was in college? Loved meeting up & chatting with one of my roommates and buddies from Mount Ida. This one's worth a listen just for the laughs and stories

Loved loved loved sitting down with this group of minority entrepreneurs to chat business and help them figure out the best direct for their work. We chatted everything from hip-hop culture's influence on entrepreneurship, to hacking growth within a business to lead it to success. This one is GREAT and I'd be humbled if you'd give it a listen

On this episode of After The App, I sit down with the host of the show, Zane Lowe to talk about the development of the Planet of The Apps series, what it was like working with Apple Music Exec and renowned producer Jimmy Iovine, up and coming hip hop culture and Zane’s journey as a successful DJ and Beats1 Radio host.

This is a HUGE one. Having the guys from K-Swiss on the show was spectacular and I'm so humbled to be a part of their new launch that's breathing life back into the brand (a long with a very secret announcement coming later

Hope you all enjoy this mashup that my thoughts on college are defined from. I'm not saying that there's no benefit in pursuing further education, just that the system isn't running at what it should be. The amount of knowledge I gained going to college, and school for that matter wasn't related to learning about business, but it was learning about people. ;)

Another total fire week In the books. This week I spent some time on AskGaryVee with my man Jon Taffer, re-shared and interview with YouTuber Drawing With Jazza on how to monetize yourself as an artist, and had my third visit to the Breakfast Club here in NYC. If you missed ANY of this, give this one a listen. Can't wait to hear your thoughts ;)
