Was awesome to have Labrinth come through and play and hang at the VaynerX lounge in Cannes, France two weeks ago. Loved sitting down with him for this little impromptu interview, chatting about number one hits and creative freedom, he also does a live performance at the end ;)
Had a great time meeting with this duo that started the channel Dose of Society, where they travel to different cities to interview locals about their opinions on local topics. I review their content and give a few recommendations on what I think can help them grow in the long term, by formatting their style and implementing a few tactics.
LOVED sitting down to chat with Ryan & his girlfriend, two prank masters to talk about their build up, and strategies for them to utilize and their audience for a long term play. This was a really important meeting that a lot of you should hear - they're being patient and their reasoning will really apply to you. Great great stuff. Hope u enjoy <3
This throwback is massively massively valuable for any music artist or creator that hasn't heard it - we talk about how Russ really put the work in during his come up (& still does), releasing music for completely free and how he thinks about patience & it's value. This is an ALL TIME episode you shouldn't miss. ;)
Something that I touch on occasionally, but don't always go super into detail about are my thoughts around parenting are, so I wanted to release this little mashup that has a multitude of content around that thought.
This was a super cool interview that focused massively more on the Vaynermedia & VaynerX side of my life, expanding on why and how I built our new media property, One37PM - I also dive super deep into the future of voice in advertising, and why Alexa, Google Home & similar platforms are the next thing to really look out for.
With this holiday week ahead, I wanted to bring you guys some serious fire. Losing is of the most important parts of being an entrepreneur, because no matter what, at some point you're going to take an L and be faced with a decision of what to do. Either you use it to push yourself harder or you wallow in sorrow. This mashup brings some heat on exactly what you should do.
I think everyone should listen to this due to the advice for general social media it gives, but ESPECIALLY creatives young and old in advertising because we dive deep into the old, new and changing landscapes of the advertising world. We talk about working with more traditional superiors, why you need to be thinking in tweets instead of TV spots and a ton more - this was an all time one. Apologies that some of the questions were cut out - this was in a large hall and we weren't able to capture e...
The only voice you need to hear is your own. Everything comes down to your mindset. If you're not optimistic and motivated, you need to find a new circle of friends and start becoming very in tune with yourself. Hope you really dig into this one this weekend and get ready to put complete FIRE into the upcoming week.
Really really loved getting down with this Q&A at VM London a few weeks back, jumping into my thoughts around different social platforms, the GDRP compliance, and how technology is shaping the way that we live, work and breathe. Really solid fireside chat and Q&A here, hope you really enjoy <3
Besides being the most downloaded episode of all time, this was a super super cool collab, and I was really pumped to have my man Tony Robbins on the show. We chop it up big time around personal branding, gratitude, leverage and giving back. Total FIRE on this one.
I see too many companies putting effort into social solely for the purpose of doing social. If companies put more of an emphasis on brand and sales, I think that there would be a positive and dramatic shift in how that company thinks about and executes on social.
Loved being on my buddy Dr. Oz's podcast, The Dr. Oz Podcast to sit down and really dig into a few topics that I don't touch on a ton, including health as well as a few that I get deep into here, like supply and demand of talent, the how and why startups are excelling on social and reinforcing why voice is the next big thing. Great great interview here :) Check out his podcast here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dr-oz-podcast/id1387919501?mt=2 and hit him up on Twitter @droz & Inst...
Loved loved loved meeting with this young up and coming artist to sit down and discuss the ways she can pop even bigger into the community. We chat music distribution, summer hits and the mindset while creating music. Great stuff here, I know you'll all love it.
This was a really neat interview I did for a Polish publication while I was in London, chatting about my new book and diving massively into what I see as Legacy and what legacy is what drives me so so far. We also get into the difference between the US and a lot of other countries, specifically the influence that family has over your career and lifestyle. Really cool points in this interview I think you'll find interesting.
I think this meeting is super interesting because it's different than my normal business meetings - it really focuses in on an international brand that's looking to launch a new part of their business and the ways they should be thinking about this big change. Great stuff here!
This was a SUPER cool interview that I really enjoyed with Travis Mills on Apple's Beats1 Radio - we really talk about what goes on behind the scenes in my meetings with rappers, and the mutual value that goes both ways. We chat how I go from Madison Ave boardrooms to a studio in the hood, and how that transition come so natural to me, it's all about value and empathy. Check out Travis & His show on Beats1 Here Twitter: @Beats1 @AppleMusic Instagram: @beats1official @applemusic LINKS: Tune i...
If you're new to my podcast, or my content in general, this is one piece that you 100 percent should not miss. It's one of my top performing pieces of content and an all time keynote that really resonates to this day. This one was interesting because I was speaking to an entrepreneurship class and I just don't think you can learn to be an entrepreneur which makes for an interesting dynamic ;) To be successful you need to be adapting but stay loyal to your strengths. If you’re a true entrepreneur...
The internet cut out all of the middlemen, which opens up the door to anybody and everybody that takes a shot.. In today's world where anybody can create content and put it on social with very little to no friction, you have to make the best content and be the best at distributing it... Really enjoyed this interview with iHeartRadio, you can find them here: https://www.youtube.com/user/iheartradio
This panel with a group of Finnish YouTubers, including Jarno Laasala [The Dudesons] was super cool, and we touched on a handful of topics that I don't talk about a ton, like how Logan Paul and Grape Story are linked, brand safety with influencers and the balance of selling out as an influencer that's putting on a brand. Awesome chat around tips for influencers here <3
The 3rd Keynote in the NAC series, this was one for the books - I go in on people that talk about being an "expert" in something, just putting it in their bio instead of putting in the work to show that they're excelling in their field. This was a really really all-time keynote, I think you'll love it <3
This throwback is PERFECT for you to listen to this Sunday morning, there's a really simple way to make money - do shit. In this one, my brother in law Justin & spend the day going to garage sales to find stuff to flip - you should give it a try today :)
This clip from when I was in Helsinki is a really strong reminder of how I built my personal brand team - Team GaryVee and a great model to follow if you've hit the point in your personal brand development where you can bring some people on to exponentially grow the brand. I talk to an entrepreneur in Finland about the core players that I see as required on a team - and the individual content they create, as well as scaling that team.
The massive, overarching theme of this keynote is practicality - useful knowledge to drive your goal. Once you've figured out what you want, and what you're trying to achieve , you need to put in the work and reverse engineer to match that goal. Some really great Q&A here too, chatting about OTT's and the way the landscape is changing.
This keynote was super super cool and I think it's a great one to look back at, when Instagram and Snapchat were just starting to boom & social taking hold of our lives. I give some advice I think will help a lot of you - talking about how long you should be waiting until you see a return on your business or startup. Great stuff in this keynote, it'd mean the world to me if you listened <3
Interning and working for cheap or free can be one of the most powerful tools & experiences you can have as a young entrepreneur & I always say that you should get close to those that you admire and strive to be. Here's a few more tips for interns that I think are super valuable to winning the long game.
Really happy I got to do this chat with my man Jordan Palmer, former Redskins QB, chatting social tactics - really focusing in on what you're trying to do on a platform, what your business goal is - sell? grow? Knowing this answer will help you define your social strategy. I also double down on why being the number 13 person at Facebook instead of the number one is so valuable & really put into perspective why enjoying what you do is such a game changer.
This keynote from Ft. Lauderdale a few weeks back starts with me bringing the audience way back to when I started building Wine Library, doing email marketing & google adwords and moving into why losing and learning to love & accept losing really helps in the long term- it helps put into perspective their goals & I talk about passing on Uber twice relating to this. Great conference here & I hope u enjoy <3
These 2 clips from my recent trip to Helsinki push home the complete fact that building businesses from the ground up take time - Deciding whether your business is ready to expand into new geographic areas is a big undertaking and between these two clips, a common theme emerges which is to make sure you're not jumping the gun on what you're trying to do. Great clips & advice here, hope u all enjoy <3
