The Power of No: Why Saying Yes Is Stalling Your Progress

But I appreciate the effort. We may still post it. Ragov, you got a question?

Is very important. Most of you have a problem saying yes. I have a problem saying no. Most of you should be saying yes to more things. I'm so addicted to the concept of maybe serendipity, karma, that I say yes to a lot of things. There's some stuff on my schedule today that that I looked at over the weekend that should be nose.

with this last full week before the holidays, I need to accomplish a whole lot of things. So for a lot of you that are more like me, yes men and women, the power of no is more effectiveness, more efficiency, um, not getting sidetracked. being able to double down on your most important things. I think a lot of people struggle with ironically saying yes to more things. You think you're busier than you are.

Um you're fearful of wasting time and and I think I'm a little bit on the other side and I need to get a little bit better at no one. I would say this year I got better at it. Uh I'm trying to get even stronger at it, but Finding the balance between yes and no. Actually everybody who's in the chat right now, all 700 of you, let's get the shares going right now. But I have a question for all seven hundred of you right now.

How many of you feel like you're saying yes to too many things? And how many of you feel like you're saying no to too many things? Say yes or no. Just a good old-fashioned yes or no. And thank you for everybody who's reposting. I see you. you're saying yes to too many things or no to too many things. And it's gonna be interesting to see. Nice nice little mix of both. Yeah, I think all of us are trying to find that middle.

You know, all of us are trying to find that middle. Um, but I think a lot of you are scared to fail and not enough yeses. And then I think a lot of you are just. a little more creative, a little more skelter like I am, uh, and need to find the power of no. The answer to your question directly is the power of no allows you to be more effective and efficient on the things you've already said yes to.

Before you say yes to another thing, have you fulfilled or executed enough on all of your prior yeses? I hope you're enjoying the podcast right now. Make sure you follow the podcast. That's why I'm interrupting. Let's keep going on this show, but follow the podcast. It'll make my mom super happy. Everybody, my latest book on how to get better at social media is now gonna be pinned to the bottom of the show. All right, let's keep it going.

the life we live. I mean, there's so many of us right now that are providing and you're providing emotionally, you're providing uh financially and, you know What I would say is to make sure that you don't create a level of resentment, this is what I why I've become infatuated with um with people learning how to um use this.

I'm really happy that Crypto Daddy and Trey Wei one hundred just bought this. I hope it helps them. I think that built the fact that all of us if this was nineteen eighty four, tea with Gary Vee, I'd say Wayne, suck it up, you're a man.

You know, this whole six PM or even if you wanna eat dinner and be with the family, have a little leisure, call it this nine PM to five in the morning economy. And obviously you need sleep, so five in the morning's a little bit of a hyperbole, but I would say for the people that are unhappy, like Wayne, who's providing for his family, but he's unhappy, that I would say that 9 p.m. to midnight is one of the remarkable three hours in our society right now.

I believe that 9 p.m. to midnight is one of the most important three hours. I could argue. I could argue that nine PM to midnight is one of the most important three hours, if not the most important three hours of the unhappy, unfulfilled, struggling, concerned in our society right now. Because from nine PM to midnight between LinkedIn and the other social networks, you can start creating

the other opportunities for yourself to get out of the hole you're in. Nine PM to midnight might be the most important three hour window in a twenty four hour day. for those who are frustrated, resentful, struggling, not fulfilled, unhappy, cu on the flip side, curious, determined, hopeful.

And I highly recommend people get more serious about it. Thank you for picking up the book. If you want to get better at social media, if you want to learn how to get better at social media, if you need to get better at social media content, the book is here. Look at Russ.

Look at Russ in the book. Look at Russ making an appearance in the book. Day trading attention pinned below. The perfect gift for yourself. Also, if you're a collector, who's a Pokemon or Marvel or Disney collector? Say Pokemon Disney Marvel. Check out the comic book.

Next question team.

How many of you are subscribed on Apple or Spotify to my podcast? Say yes podcast, say no podcast. I need all 900 answers right now. Say yes podcast, no podcast. Here's where I'm going with it. Whether it's the Gary B podcast, which I would love all of you to get on, or some other, your mom needs positivity and encouragement, accountability and push in her ears. That's what listen, that's all that life is. All that life is is your mindset, your perspective, how you see the world.

The audio that runs through your head, self-doubt, self-love, opportunity, cynicism. I'm 50, she's 50, she thinks it's over, I don't even think I've started. That's real. And I don't believe that a lot of you believe that I believe that. I don't believe that a lot of you believe me when I say that I don't feel like I've just started. I'm aware of my accomplishments, but I genuinely feel they've been foundational to what I'm doing now.

How many people here are under 40 and feel like it's over? Like they've made their bed, they have to sleep in it. They picked the job, they picked the person, they picked where they live. Like how many of you under 40 say that's me, say that's me, and then put your age number on the right? That's me, and then put your age number. That's me, I'm forty-seven. That's me, I'm thirty-nine. Put that's me. I need all of you.

To say, yeah, I mean, like when I see Tiger Josh say, that's me, and I'm 37, that's me, I'm 39, that's me, I'm 39, like you could see a lot of 30s. You know, it's crazy to me. You know, at 34 years old, I worked in a liquor store, had never made business content, or just started making business content. Like, I don't think people get it. Like

You know, and I know all of you have seen this content for me over and over and over and over again. I don't care if you listen to me. You're not my sister. You you know like you know like when people push back at me like you think I care? I care in general, but I don't know you. I don't know Saps Robot like I don't know everyone in here

Like I don't know you like that. I'd like to know you. This is why we hang out on tea with Gary B. I'm desperate. This is why I allocate my time, which is my biggest asset, to do this in the morning on December 15th. Like I do this.

Like people can break through, but to answer your mom, like I need you to listen to my podcast every day. But not me, not this selfish like listen to my podcast. Me, meaning someone like me. I don't care if you listen to me or any of the other thousands of people on the internet that provide positive and practical, accountable, and hopeful content. I really don't care.

I really don't care. Meaning I'd love for you to listen to me, but I really don't care. If it's me or someone else, but I need you to tune out negativity. Like I don't know what else to say. It is very clear to me what's going on. If you hang out with negative people, cynical people.

non-hopeful people, non-ambitious people, like that OG shit your great grandmother told you of like you are who you surround yourself with is true. And the problem is most of you surround yourself right now with social media And mainstream media content that is scaring you. Both sides of the political aisle are doing the same thing globally.

Both sides are doing the same thing. They're scaring you. Everyone's cynical. Everyone's become super overcoddled. So we're blaming. So you're scared and you're blaming. Do you know that there's actually p kids that are Gen Z that actually blame boomers? Like actually, like there's actually random 27, 34 year olds who are like, it's the 80 year olds' fault. That's insanity.

It's one of the ones that are super under the radar. If people have been following B Friends for a long time, they know I rarely talk about the offense-oriented orangutan, right? But it's one of my favorite characters. I call him Triple U. Triple O is a beast. Like, who's offense oriented? Like, almost everything that comes out of my mouth is offense oriented. That's it man. That's where we need to be. All right, let's keep it going. Next question. Okay.

Reality is like there's no perfect year. Like in hindsight, sometimes like for example, I might in seven years look back at 25 and be like, oh, that was a good year, right? I started doing live. That can be one, right? You know, there's a lot of ways to think about it. I I'm just in the business of loving myself. Like real talk. Like but holding myself accountable and not being delusional. It's this really interesting balance of like I know I'm trying and that is enough.

Like I know I'm trying and that's enough. And I want all of you there, like if you're really trying and you're coming from a good place and you got a balance of like trying to do right by you and your family, but also care about others, like even just how nice I am in public.

Like opening a door or saying hi or smiling at people makes me feel very fulfilled, makes me feel good about myself, makes me feel like I'm trying to leave a positive deposit in a world that's passionate about doing the reverse. But I don't get delusional. Like a lot of like you could like yourself. You can be nice, but laying on your couch all day and like watching porn and like you're probably not being productive. You could be like laying around and just gambling on polymarket.

and like Draft Kings and Fanatics betting and like that's probably not productive. You could be like laying on your couch and your mom is giving you money and you're just watching like elf for the fifteenth time in the last two weeks. Like that's probably not productive. So there's a level of like Like loving yourself, but but also holding yourself accountable. I don't know why so many of you struggle with the balance of loving yourself, but holding yourself accountable.

Because I feel like when people hear holding yourself accountable, they hear it in their mind of like shit on yourself or suck. Like when I talk about patience, people get all shook like Gary D like I see the comments, you guys see it, right? This advice isn't it. Like you gotta go hard. Like motherfucker, I'm going harder than you. There's no one who's left a comment that says, Gary's wrong, you have to go hard, has gone harder than me.

I feel it, not one person. But I think people are struggling with the balance. So how do I answer this person? Very easily. Like, like, and by the way, yesterday is over. Like if yesterday you sucked, like if yesterday was a bad day. If if yesterday you were like, I blew this whole year, I blew my whole life, it really doesn't matter. Today's always day one. Today's day one, y'all.

For example, Nomas, Michael Silcillion, DeMarcus Collection, and Act on Prompting all bought this book probably to day one next year. They're gonna read it and they're gonna get better at social media content and they can start winning. All right, next question.

You can't live your life based on what your girlfriend, fiancé, future wife wants you to do, even if you love her more than breathing itself. Because there will be resentment that builds from that. I'm about to drop a bomb this morning. Many of you that are peeper pleasers. Must protect yourself from resenting those that you're pleasing and then blaming them for it. I'm gonna say that again. Many of you that are peeper pleasers must protect yourself.

From resenting those that you're doing the people pleasing for, only to then blame them for it when you decided to do it. This has been a vulnerability of mine. through my life's journey. You are deciding to please someone else. Your mom, your dad, your your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your child. You've decided to please someone else.

And not from a place of insecurity. You just have a lot of warmth in your heart. Like I don't people please cause I'm like because I want you to like. I actually don't give a fuck if any of you like- I like the people pleased because I'm in a good place and I like it. It feels it fulfills me. Yeah, I get it, JCHAP, but it's really, really important. You know, like uh you're absolutely right. That's what so many people can get caught on.

Like I'm telling all of you, you have to be very careful. And this is why we're talking about it. I like you too, the man. I need all of you to understand this. You can't blame others when you people please and then you resent them. You must be accountable. You must be accountable. That's it. Accountability matters. A lot of you have to check yourselves. We need more humility, more self awareness. I I really hope this helped someone this morning.

I really hope this helps someone this morning. This is real stuff. A lot of you pointing fingers when it's actually thumbs. All right, I'm gonna talk to the chat for a little bit. Just talk into the chat a little bit. Everybody in the chat, Chrissy says, wow, I've never looked at it like that before. See, that's what I'm here for.

See, Christy just made my whole morning. These little angles, like all life is is how you see it. All life is is how you see it. That's all like there is no life besides how you see it. People think there's right. I I laugh at this. People think there's right and wrong. People think life is black and white. How many of you struggle with wanting life to be black and white?

How many of you see life black and white? How many of you think life is black and white? How many do you how many people here want others to see life black and white? How many? Say black and white in the chat if you're one of those people. I need it. I need it. I need you to own it. It's easy behind the screen. Own it. How many people here are disappointed by other people? Th other people disappoint you.

Jojo says, wow, Gary, you look tired. No, no, no Jojo, it's just I'm 50 now and I don't use face cream and I'm not doing the I'm not doing the facelift thing. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing the plastic surgery. Look, you'll never believe it. Like I can make myself look better, but I just not where I'm about. How many of you are disappointed by others?

I'm telling you, I'm telling you, be careful. Too many expectations, too much insecurity. If you're constantly disappointed by people, There's too much ego, there's too much insecurity.

super deep friends that feel like direct family. Then there's the next tier underneath that. They don't feel like family, but they're like really good friends. It's awesome. It's light. It's good. Then there's that next tier of like it's kinda in the middle. Then there's one lower that I would call is borderline acquaintance and service level, but you're always thrilled to run into them twice a year and be like, yeah, right?

You know, maybe those friends that were drugs and party and nightlife were w used to be deepest when you were in the same shit together. And maybe they can convert into light. You could see them once or twice a year reminisce old stories catch up. Maybe because you're in a stronger mental place, maybe you can become that for those friends. Maybe you can become the North Star. Maybe you can talk through how you got there. Maybe you can call them out of like, hey.

Like cut the cocaine out of your life. Like maybe you can be that person. So that's how I answer that. There's layers to relationships. Again, this is back to black and white. Some people like either like I know a lot of people in my own life. If you're not like best friends and deep and it's like deep, then it's nothing. And I'm like, fuck man, where are the layers?

A lot of people are like, man, if I can't be authentic and real and like deep with a friend, then it's zero. It's like literally a hundred or zero. And those people tend to have no friends.

Everybody evaluates at three. Get rid of the three. Force them into a four or two. Little little little side thing while we're here. All right, let's keep going. Question?

Everybody just wants it too fast. Lack of patience. This is why I talk about patience all day. All right, let's keep it going.

And sometimes I'll go back to the same person and give them a third up or second or fourth bite at that apple.

Than their new job for the old salary or maybe an increase from the like some something in between. How many people have done that? Uh say boomerang. Say boomerang. How many people have done that? Had a job, left, More money and then realized wait a minute, this is unhappiness, and then went back. Look how many people look at all these boomerangs. Look at that.

And someone said never go backwards. I actually don't think that's going backwards. I think that's going forward. I think that's you realizing your day-to-day happiness is more important than a couple more dollars. Dollars is not the only thing. Money is not the only thing in life. How many people think money is the only thing in life? I e and even people trolling, I feel, hopefully won't say this in the chat because then the gods of karma are gonna strike them down.

Like nobody believes that. You know, money matters. Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying. Money enables a lot of opportunities, but. I mean uh you know, someone said never go backwards to that. I view that as forward. If you go through an experience where you go, that job is not as good and then you go back for l back to the same amount or in between the two numbers or Fuck man, some people might have gone back to you know

Jove says says a rich person. I love that. The number one weapon of like money doesn't matter, oh, says the rich person, is the number one loser shit to say in life. I'm just gonna go right out and poke you in the heart. Loser talk. It's just like it's weaponizing a lack of depth. Like like anyway, let's keep it going.

Yeah. W winding no, I was thinking about winding down, but then I like no whining, right? Where I taste a wine. It's gonna be a mix of Ask Gary V, Tea with Gary V and Wine Library TV. It's gonna be basically this, but I'm also gonna be drinking a wine. Reviewing that wine so that people can uh learn it, but then really being on like the no excuse

So anyway, I would say there's so many things. I let me break this down for everyone. A couple things to think about for everyone here. One, I highly recommend all of you focus on self-awareness. Right? Like self awareness, self awareness, self awareness. What I mean by that is so many of you should focus on written content, so Substack, LinkedIn, Uh photos on Instagram with very long written captions. Audio. Some people are scared of video. Should be on audio.

Right? You know, like as I get older with the bags under my eyes, the comments of like, oh you look tired, Gary, you look bad. I'm worried about you because people haven't seen me a little bit, gray, bags. For a lot of people, that cripples them. Makes them stop wanting to be on video. I'd like you all to go through self-esteem building and be able to go up and persevere through that. But if you can't, you can still make content by doing audio.

Right. You could do audio or video. So I think for this person, you know, it it's there's a lot of ways to attack this, but written word, audio, and video are all I do have a podcast, who's the boss. Everybody, please Google or ChatGPT Gary B E E podcast. It's the Gary B Audio Experience. It's on Spotify and Apple. Please subscribe. Let me know if you subscribe to my podcast during this show. Let me know. Let me know if you did that. Alright, let's keep it going.

Uh District, which is an app that lets you do live shopping. Um, I'm an enormous fan of live shopping. This is QVC on social media. If you know what live shopping is, say live shopping. If you don't know, say don't know. In the chat. I need all 1,000 of you to say it. Say live shopping or say don't know. I need all of you to learn this. I need all of you to try this.

For everyone who's saying don't know, you just go into chat GPT or Google and type in what is live shopping? Live shopping is literally QVC. Or affiliate. There's TikTok has an insane affiliate program. The TikTok affiliate program is bananas. I highly recommend all of you figure out TikTok affiliate. This is where you literally Get product in the mail. Like my by the way, my comic books are gonna be part of the affiliate. You guys need this. You guys need this.

Um, you need to figure out what's going on with comics. Let me know if you picked up a V Friends product. The answer to that question was for that sixty six year old woman is live shopping. Who here thinks they're a good salesman? You've worked retail. You've you've been uh a waiter and you were good at upselling. Who here thinks they're a good salesman? Say salesman. Who here thinks that they're a good salesman and does not know what live shopping is? Say sales.

But no live. Say sales but no live in the chat. These are people I want to talk to right now. Sales but no live. David Arrugla, Mary Hall, the Royal Family, Daniel J. Charles, I'm about to change so many lives right now. Every single person that said sales but no live has to Google and chat GPT what live shopping is. You need to go live and start selling on TikTok.

TikTok live shopping or on whatnot. You've got to figure this out, everybody. Danatello says I don't want to go live. You don't have to. Charles says, what do we sell? Anything. There's a ton of things in the affiliate store. You can do a garage sale. Every one of you can do a garage sale. Now again, you're like, I don't know how. Just search it. Plus, we're gonna make a deck on like Live Shopping 101. That's a big focus of mine for January.

All right, go ahead.

Like we're so over coddled right now. That people don't want the, like, you're a bitch is the best advice for someone who's been overcoddled. Mommy's been trying to help you, dick face. And you're not doing anything about it. And to the mom and to all the parents that are overcoddling your kids. If you've given them a year or two of money and love and coddling and a roof over their head and taking care of fucking everything, cut them off.

Right, guys? I mean I don't know, like you know, like SAPs robots, right? Like I don't know. I don't know what to say. Like we want people to win. And like I'm for in this scenario, I'm just following the question. If someone if if now if this question was like, hey, I mean call my son a bitch. For two years. Do you have any words of encouragement? You would say, yeah. Tell him you love him and he's the best and he's capable. This is the yin and yang.

But like when you're all in on one thing, overcoddling, love bombing, you gotta go to the bitch and the fucking like throw'em in the snow. Go shovel some fucking snow today. You know? So like gotta find the middle. Alright, let's keep going.

On a recent podcast you said sadness comes from insecurity, which I really vibe with. I'm a creative filmmaker and entrepreneur, and imposter syndrome is really loud for me. I know you believe that imposter syndrome is really just insecurity.

And the way I think you do that is by two extremes. By loving yourself unconditionally and not putting anyone else on a pedestal. Just you're fucking good. I just need all of you to know you're good. All of you were awesome. Like real talk, all of you were great. Real talk, you're great. And you're a little bitch. Like like that's it. Like I don't understand how this is so hard. You're the best and you suck at most things. That's good. And definitely this.

Lacey, Adwan, Francisco, Michelle, they all bought the book. Court, do you know how positive I am that two out of four of them are not even gonna read it? People think buying it is the action. Then some of them are gonna buy it and read it. And then you know how many are not gonna do anything with the information? Four out of five.

that person has to make fun of themselves. How many of you are the classic do all the things except the real thing? Like you buy all the right equipment But like so many of you do that. Like you do the checkbox. You posture that you're about it, but you're not about it. You write entrepreneurs.

In your title of your Instagram, but you're not an entrepreneur. You talk about going hard, but you know that God knows that you don't. How many of you, let's call ourselves out this morning. How many of you are full of shit? Say full of shit in the chat. You posture to make everyone think you're about that life, but you're not. Don't say me, say full of shit. I need you to own it. Now I need all of you that say this. Yeah, and I blame my ADHD. I'm ADHD'd.

Oh right. It looks like you can't say full of shit probably in the chat. It's probably so FOS. Everyone say FOS. You posture. You talk about it. You look the part. You FOS. This is step one, y'all. Look at all these FOSs, man. And they all know it. This is the world. Now here's the key FOSs. FOSs. You... don't... don't be sad!

across the board say me with all the way I need it how many of you just bought the book and you know you're not gonna read it that's the FOS's right that's it

Over three. Not e even on bad weekends I'm like one for three, two for three. Like when over three, I'm like I'm gonna crush. Over three. I get it. The reason I can talk about this is because I get it. We all get it.

But I'm telling y'all, you gotta fight. If you're unhappy, you gotta fight. If you're unhappy, you gotta fight. All right, next question.

You don't think my mom my dad did unlimited things wrong, and my mom did some things wrong. I just choose not to dwell on it or talk about it. I don't empower the things they did wrong. I empower the things they did right.

It man, I would hate to be a Gary V hater. If they knew how much juice that gives me and how happy I get, it would break their fucking little soft, insecure heart.

Said met you in twenty eighteen, great guy. I you know what's so funny? I have such a nice persona and then I still stump people in real life.'Cause you're able to be more like, you know, like let's keep going. Next question.

Is considered disrespectful. Two questions. Should I separate my personal account from my business one? And how do I handle the fear that my family or people from my hometown would judge?

To be judged by the conservative and fearful and reserved and classic in your friend group, your family, your neighbors, and it sounds like this whole town. I've got a secret for you. You are actually being judged currently. The 1 to 3% that are winners are judging you for being a puss. So most of you right now are scared because you don't want to be judged by the 97% that are scared and conservative, but you're silently being judged by winners for being a big.

My friends, you're being judged. You're just being judged by winners.

Everyone's scared to jump and be their true selves because they're scared of the judgment of the losing. And yet they don't know it because the winners aren't telling you, losers are telling you because misery loves company. Winners are just fucking cooking cause they're focused on their own shit and building. They don't have time to tell you. I can't believe that just happened. That is like a crazy secret. Holy fuck.

Whose life just completely ch Who was just like fu I'm a little bit like fuck. I'd never put it to word. Holy shit, that's a big deal. Fuck me. That is such a problem. Holy shit. That is such a big deal. You're always being judged regardless, but you're not going to live your happiness and your joy and your winning because you're valuing the judgment of the loud losing. And you didn't realize that the silent winning is judging you even more. Holy shit.

You stay being judged, my friends. Now the question is, who do you want to be judged by? Did someone's brain just break? You court, you? You got hit by that? It's a good one, right? Hmm. Mmm, cooking this morning. Wow, that was big man.

Full love of yourself, full support of yourself, but holding yourself accountable. You got this incredible balance. You're not like fucking delusional and narcissistic and egoed out. You got this nice balance. If a hundred percent is a hundred. And zero percent is like you you dislike yourself so much, you're ready to be take yourself out. Like the worst of the worst.

What percentage are you this morning? I need to know. Where are you right now? Gary was handed three million dollar wine business, yet claims to be like us. I wasn't handed anything. I never owned that business. I don't own that business. In fact, my dad had a$3 million a year revenue business that made$100,000 in profit, and I built that the$65 million for him, left.

Started Vayner Media in a conference room of another company because I didn't have enough money to have rent. I was that broke at 34. I don't claim to be just like you. I claim to be better than you dick face. Cause I built something for my dad, cause I had it like that, and I knew I was a fucking gangster, and I knew at 34 I could start from fucking dead zero after giving twelve years of my life.

to my family. I don't claim to be like you. I'm better than you. Bitch. You claim to come up with an excuse that isn't true. How about that? Dick face. Now what? Bitch. You like that trait? And I still got love for that person. I'm not even mad at them. I'm just tired of people coming up with excuses. I didn't get handed shit. I fucking built a business for my father and mother because I loved them so much, left with nothing.

Real talk. Why do you think I tell all of you that I think you can do it at thirty-four after fucking bleeding and breaking my back and working a hundred hours a week for twelve years straight and giving up my entire twenties and all that? Yeah. Okay. Get your fucking history right if you got something to say. Um all right going back to the percentages. I need percentages, y'all. I need percentages.

I need percentages. I know the explanation is not necessarily sock, but a lot of people here don't know who I am. And a lot of people feed into excuses and they need them. They need them. I am the bubble hockey guy. I can all right for everybody in under 50%. I'm telling you right now, of course, Raj, I'm reading the chat. I need all of you, I need all of you to hear this. I need all of you to hear this.

If you're under 50% in your love towards yourself, you need to know that that judgment was put inside of you. If you shit on yourself, who hears shits on themselves? Say poop in the chat. Who hears shits on themselves? Say poop. in the chat. Say poop. Okay, for all of you, you need to know it's not you shitting on yourself. You love yourself. You just believed someone who was judging you and took it as your own.

Often a parent, sometimes a sibling, sometimes a random friend. You've got to get good with this. Next question.

How do you pursue project?

Okay, I have a funny feeling every single person is gonna say me. There's not one person on earth There's not a single it's called being grown. It's called you're not seven anymore. And even that, fuck, man. I lived that that's why I got comfortable with it. I hated school. I fucking you know why I'm why I'm ready for life? Cause I hated school.

I lived my whole childhood waking up Monday morning, be like, this Monday? Well, this Monday back in the day I was pumped because I was like, Christmas fucking breaks a week away, motherfucker. You know, but like, man, the Monday that's coming up on the back end of Christmas break, Monday, January 7th, shoot me. I was like, fuck this.

What is this? Of course you don't have time. Of course you're taking care of siblings. You're a normal human being that has responsibilities. Who here has no responsibilities? Who here in the chat has no responsibilities? Say no. And you know what's funny? Someone who has no responsibilities as a grown-up is the most oppressed. Because their mommy and dad are taking everything for them and they feel like losers. What are we talking about in here? Friends, life is about enjoying the unenjoyable.

Is about enjoying the unenjoyable. Feel pride in what you do for everyone else. 9 p.m. to 12 in the morning is not enjoyable for most to get out of it, but that's what this is about. Get out of it by using social media. We got lucky. Your grandma was stuck. Your grandpa was stuck, didn't have the internet, they didn't have social media. You motherfuckers can make one video at 10:15 tomorrow night that changes the course of your life.

We have nothing to complain about. If you're on fucking TikTok at 10:16 in the morning watching my ass, you need to shut the fuck up. I can't be doing this! But I can't be doing this. I can't do what all 1300 of you are doing right now. I can't just watch some random fucking dude at 1016 on a weekday for enjoyment or value. I don't live that life. I haven't done that shit since I was fucking 18.

So you're fucking good. You won. I don't know what the fuck you're doing right now, but I don't know how the fuck you're doing it. You won. You have a smartphone. Yeah, motherhood. Damn is right. You're winning. Man, I'm pumped. Who's pumped this morning? Like, do you understand how good this is? Andrew says I'm watching this at work. Yeah, but you're not working. You're watching this.

I know where the fuck you are. I ain't crashing out B. I'm getting hyped. Like I'm watching this at work. No shit, but when I work, I work. I don't watch fucking Gary V on TikTok. Yeah! You guys are women! You guys are women! Today is one of the biggest opportunities of all time in your life to change your life. And thank you for being with me this morning. I am desperate out here.

I'm going into desperation in my fifties, I decided. Fifty to sixty, I'm going desperate. I'm desperate for all of you to figure out this is real. I can't believe this shit's real. I can't believe how life is so good. I can't believe live shopping is here. You can sell how many of you have dumb shit in your house? How many of you have a bunch of dumb shit in your house that you don't need anymore? Clothes, electronics. Who's got dumb shit? Sell it.

On on an auction site or here, like live shopping. This, by the way, you don't want to buy this pinned? Gary V-E-E dot mm slash attention. Gary, you gonna be in more movies like Tron? I might Joel. I might become a huge actor. By the way, with AI coming, I think I'm gonna be a huge rapper.

I think AI music is gonna be for every I think everyone's gonna be in the music business with the way AI is going. And I have a funny feeling my words translate. I don't know what I'm gonna do, but I'm gonna do it. Oh I like that. Right? I don't know what I'm gonna do, but I'm gonna do it. That's good. I've never said that before either. I have no clue where like if you think I thought I was gonna act, I didn't. But I'm gonna do everything. Cause why not? What are we doing out here?

Yeah, but so good. And yet everybody wants to think it's so bad. I want to do stand-up comedy. I agree, mind and mood. You know what's funny? I'm I have a good sense of humor and I'm very good at improv. I think there's a lot of work for me to be good at stand-up. Like doing jokes, I'm not sure. I gotta really think it through. When I give keynotes, I can like mix it in. And I've got tendencies. I've got stand-up tendencies, but I don't have stand-up discipline.

Yeah. Yeah, like you gotta really work at it. But I might do some stand up. I don't know. All I know is that you guys, life is good and you got it good. Alina says you'll get better. You're damn right. I fucking pumped out seventies this weekend on the fucking flat bench 70s five times and fucking dominated it. That's a nice number. Right? You guys are bigger like what do you do?

Uh the book's available in Asia Pursue Grace. Uh Samantha French, thank you. I'm telling all of you, you can all do this. You can all do this. Live shopping is gonna be a monster. Live shopping is a huge opportunity in 26, 27, but it takes discipline. It takes work. It's, you know, it's there, but it's hard. But ever friends, every single thing that is worth it is hard. Love is hard. Relationships is hard. Being healthy and strong is hard. Making money is hard.

We have to fucking fall in love with hard. How the fuck do we not understand this?

People crying and mad at people for inheritance? Are we really at that place where we're crying and mad at people for some shit we didn't even do? I need to be yelled at every morning like this. Healing peace. Thank you. I'm not even like I'm just you know what's so funny? No, and you know me. What's the person's name? जो जो जो जो जो जो जो जो I'm not mad at you. I don't think you're a loser. That was me giving love.

Johnny, how you crying? Like if Johnny was my best friend, it get over here, Raga. Just get over here. I'll just reenact if Johnny was my best friend and we're just we're just hanging and you're like cry about it. Be like, damn my mom. Oh my god, my mom's like dude. I'd be like, dude. You didn't earn that shit anyway, Johnny.

Why the fuck were you entitled to that in the first place? You got this, bro. You could do this shit. Fuck that bullshit. Stop crying. Alright. All right, bro. Good. That's it. Like what are we talking about? We're crying about shit that we didn't even earn? That's some bitch shit. That's some bitch shit. One more question.

Just like people that used a computer in the 80s and 90s became more valuable employees than ones that didn't. Could you imagine trying to be an employee in a company right now where you don't use a computer? How about the people that took jobs in the late 90s, early 2000s? People that use the computer and the internet. Could you imagine the audacity to walk into Ear at Vayner on my team and say, you don't use a computer next, use a computer but you don't use the internet?

How about next the mobile device? How about what do you think would happen if you came here and said, I want to work with you? You know how we work, but I don't use mobile devices. How do you think that would work? That's all AI's doing. At least in the short term. AI's pretty big. There's more to come. You could always get another fucking job. She's ready. You know, a lot of people dream she acted. She's already sold and made a thirty K profit. She's got another one brewing.

She's 31. She needs to jump yesterday. She needs to quit today. Her resignation needs to happen next.
