The Garyvee Audio Experience

You all know my complete infatuation with audio and spoken word, and that's why I LOVED doing this interview with Michael, the CEO of the app Anchor which lets anyone create their very own "public radio" station, and super easily publish a podcast. We talked about what it's like to launch an app, and how it's nearly impossible to survive on just a launch, what it was like growing a business from the very beginning and what's going on the audio space. Let me know what you think of this one, and follow me on ANCHOR! ;)

If you want to survive the cycle of innovation there is only one thing you need to know. You have to understand that if you remain romantic, you are going to lose. One of the reason’s I have been so successful in my career is because I followed consumer attention. I didn’t hold on to what got me here. Yesterday it was ‘91 cabernet sauvignon and now it’s rosé. Yesterday it was the six second video app Vine, and today it’s Instagram. The fact of the matter is, “The Cycle of Innovation” is nothing more than a bundle of fancy words. In reality the term means nothing. Listen to this podcast to hear more about what I think!

Loved being back on The Breakfast Club last week with my man Charlemagne and the rest of the crew. Hope this chat helped everyone who's trying to build up their business. Everyone has a different motivation in building, but the end goal is largely the same - to be the absolute best in your field, and for that you've gotta understand what you're doing. Enjoy ;) 

Turning art, music or any other sort of creative practice into a lucrative business isn't easy, which is why I loved this interview I did with popular YouTuber Josiah Brooks of Drawing with Jazza! There's a lot of really important touch points here, beyond just art like how to monetize your creative profession when the lens is currently focused on vlogging and video content, how to recognize when you should be working for free to boost exposure in the long run, and finding the balance between what the market wants and your own creative passions. This is an AMAZING one, enjoy it !!

This interview went in deep. It was great chatting with Steve on his PBS show, One to One and diving into why I am the way I am, and why I believe that I was raised with confidence, conviction and the ability to really squeeze out the BS, while being able to provide value to others. Hope you enjoy it, hit me up on Twitter and let me know your thoughts !! 

This keynote was total FIRE. Loved being at Danny Morel's "Relentless" talk, chatting about everything from Real Estate to figuring out exactly where your attention should be focused to get the most out of your marketing. The Q&A section here was great, and a lot of the questions were relatable on every level. Once you start doing things for yourself, the path you need to take becomes real clear - then it's just up to you to execute. Enjoy ;)

This is hands down one of the best episodes ever. The energy between Jon and I was completely unmatched, and the call-in questions were on point. Besides being the host of the massively successful show Bar Rescue, Jon is an entrepreneur through and through. We talked and took questions about how to expand your reach to your restaurant, diving deep into the nitty gritty of a BBQ spot in Kentucky, and monetizing personal content. This one was seriously FIRE and I can't wait for you to hear it. Let me know what you thought !!!

Really really hope nobody missed a single second this week, but in case you did - here's the highlights. Between releasing the full three hours of the completely FIRE Washington Sq Park meetup I did, to hosting back to back #AskGaryVee's with Morgan Spurlock and my man Jon Taffer, the content here is diverse and totally sick. Let me know what you thought of this week ;)

Friday's are complete BS. There's no reason you should be striving for the weekend, because that means you're not doing something right. Family time is important, and being with the ones you love is important but shouldn't be running away from what you do towards the weekend. I used to do this, so TRUST me, you need to change this before it gets too far. Take this rant to heart because EVERY SINGLE PERSON needs to hear this. Share it with a friend that really needs it !!

LOVED having my man Morgan Spurlock on the show. If you don't know him, he's the mastermind behind the popular documentary Supersize Me. We sat down and chatted about how he came up in the entertainment biz, starting out with some seriously fun stories as a production assistant, and then answered questions like when you should start looking for a business partner, what you should be taking advantage of when studying in another country, and how to start monetizing your own personal brand and social content. Check this out, it's a great one ;) 

On this episode of "After The App", I chat with the creators of the app "Special Guest", Damon Wayans Jr. and Kris Jones. We talk about what it was like venturing into the app world from Damon's acting background, exactly what went on behind the scenes in the Developers Lounge, and they give some insightful tips on entrepreneurship and app development. Enjoying these behind the scenes podcasts? hit me up on Twitter and let me know !!

Cannes was great, but i LOVED hanging out with my man Black Coffee and doing this #askgaryvee LIVE on the VaynerX yacht. We talked about what how he got started in the music industry, trying out a few things before landing on what he's doing now. The questions here were great, answering questions about how to balance work and life, how to appropriately deal with rejection, and inspiration vs motivation. Hope you enjoy this one !! 

LOVED loved loved being on my man Jim Rome's show. I talked about exactly when my desire to buy the New York Jets started, when I think that'll happen, and what my idea of the media landscape will be in 20 years. Keep an eye on Augmented and Mixed reality, because as technology gets smaller and more efficient, these two areas will start to matter a whole lot more... Just keep in mind that as you're hustling, it's not about the money or fame - it's about not complaining. If you're complaining, you're definitely not hustling your way to a better life. Really enjoyed this talk guys, let me know what you thought ;)

This one was HUGE. Easily one of my best meetups, and I loved talked to everyone that came out. Seriously, enjoy this one because every single person has a different question and story and it's FULL of gold. Hit me up and let me know what you think of these longer ones ;)

Another FIRE week in the books. Hope everyone enjoyed this week, and if you missed ANYTHING at all (which you really won't want to), give this one a listen. Between the throwback to my talk at google, and the advice that EVERY SINGLE PERSON needs to hear about starting over in their careers, there's a ton. We dropped the first episode of After The App this week too, where I talked to Ben Silverman & Howard Owens about their experience producing Planet Of The Apps. Give this one a listen, and make sure to catch up on anything you missed. Can't wait for next week ;)

This is IT guys. We took full advantage of time here, and did a Reddit AMA fully from the back of a moving car, traveling through Manhattan. There's some great questions in here that spread far and wide - from reverse engineering yourself to figure out what content you should be producing, to my sleeping habits, and how brick and mortar shops should be thinking to stay ahead of the game. If you couldn't tell, I love doing these AMA's. Can't wait for the next one. Let me know your thoughts ;) 

If you like wine (and business), you're going to love this one. This is a throwback to a talk I did at Google about growing wine library, all while doing a live wine tasting and Q&A. The questions here are a perfect mix of wine and business, throwing straight back to building the business that started it all. Give this one a listen and let me know what you thought

In this episode of After The App, I sit down with the Executive Producers of Planet Of The Apps, Ben Silverman and Howard Owens to discuss their insight into the show, we talk about the very first day of filming, and the biggest surprises they encountered while producing Apple's first venture into TV.

Know those hundreds of hours you spend doing absolutely nothing? Stop using them to binge watch House of Cards and start hustling to make some money. Check this one out because we're halfway through the year, and that means we're halfway through the #2017FlipChallenge - but its literally never too late to start. Watch eBay, watch Craigslist, and start hopping on Facebook Marketplace and all those new flipping apps. Shoot me a DM and let me know where you're at :)

This rant is for every single person that thinks they're "too old to start over", or that they're stuck in a job they hate instead of pursuing what they really want to do. At 31 I was a wine merchant buying and selling wine, and now I'm leading Vaynermedia. The INTERNET is what's enabling you to do a complete 180 and aim for what you really want. It doesn't matter if you're 25, 26 or even 54. This 100 percent applies to you, and you NEED to hear this one. Hit me up on twitter and let me know you heard this and understood !!
