  9pm to midnight might be the most important three-hour window in a 24-hour day for those who are frustrated, resentful, struggling, not fulfilled, unhappy, curious, determined, hopeful, and ambitious. And if someone says, "I'm too tired", well then, then that's that. Then live in it. This is the Gary Vee Audio Experience.

• 1:07Speaker 03

  Good to see everybody. Very excited for Tea with Gary Vee, episode 100. A nice little milestone. Tea made a nice video. I said, "We don't celebrate", but I appreciate the effort. We may still post it. Ragav, you got a question?

• 1:20Speaker 04

  What is the power of no?

• 1:21Speaker 03

  Power of no is something that I've struggled with. In fact, over the weekend, I told AJ that Michael Rubin from Fanatics said something twice now. One in a one-on-one meeting, one in a group thing I was in last week, where he has the same problem that I have, which is, even if 13 different ideas are all right, collectively, they're wrong because you're just stretching a little too thin. And I talk a lot about happiness versus success financially. So for me, the power of no 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,

• 2:05Speaker 03

  that I say yes to a lot of things. There's some stuff on my schedule today that I looked at over the weekend that should be no's. 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, not getting sidetracked.

• 2:26Speaker 03

  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. You're fearful of wasting time. And I think I'm a little bit on the other side and I need to get a little bit better at no. And I would say this year I got better at it. 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 700 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.

• 3:11Speaker 03

  And thank you for everybody who's reposting. I see you. Say you're saying yes to too many things or no to too many things. And it's gonna be interesting to see. 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. 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. 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.

• 3:55Speaker 03

  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. Alright, let's keep it going.

• 4:10Speaker 05

  So, got a question from Wayne Adams. How would you handle being the main supporter for your family? Would you hate what you do even though it makes money?

• 4:19Speaker 03

  That's a really good question, Wayne. Wayne, this is just called being a grown up and eating crap for the betterment of your family. I think this is a real grown adult process a lot of us have gone through. There have been many times through my life, especially my life, where I've been really the financial driver for many, everybody around me.

• 4:42Speaker 03

  It's called living life. You know, like, our pain tolerance is a direct correlation, sometimes, to the life we live. I mean, there are so many of us right now that are providing. And you're providing emotionally, you're providing financially, and, you know... What I would say is, to make sure that you don't create a level of resentment, this is why I've become infatuated with people learning how to use this.

• 5:15Speaker 03

  I'm really happy that Crypto Daddy and TreyWay100 just bought this. I hope it helps them. I think that the fact that all of us... If this was 1984, team with Gary Vee, I'd say, "Wayne, suck it up, you're a man." Literally. Because Wayne would have to work 9 to 6, and there'd be no really real way, without Wayne taking a high risk of quitting and trying to get another job, for Wayne to set himself up. The fact that we live in a world right now where you can use social media content, LinkedIn especially, to produce content or reach out to people via social, to create your other job opportunity, that you don't need recruiters coming to you, you could be the recruiter for yourself, is a real gift.

• 5:57Speaker 03

  This whole 6pm, you know, this whole 6pm, or even if you want to eat dinner, be with the family, have a little leisure, call it this 9pm to 5:00 in the morning economy. And obviously, you need sleep, so 5:00 in the morning is 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 9pm to midnight is one of the remarkable 3 hours in our society right now. I believe that 9pm to midnight is one of the most important 3 hours. I could argue, I could argue, that 9pm to midnight is one of the most important 3 hours,

• 6:41Speaker 03

  if not the most important 3 hours, of the unhappy, unfulfilled, struggling, concerned in our society right now.

• 6:52Speaker 03

  Because from 9pm 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. 9pm to midnight might be the most important three-hour window in a 24-hour day for those who are frustrated, resentful, struggling, not fulfilled, unhappy, on the flip side, curious, determined, hopeful, and ambitious. Because a lot of us have to do things 9 to 5, 9 to 6, 9 to 7, and a lot of us also worry about work-life balance, some sort of, you know, reality of providing the emotional and time for our spouse,

• 7:35Speaker 03

  our partner, our girlfriend, our boyfriend, our husband, our wife, our son, our daughter, our parents. So, fine, I'm giving you 6 to 9. But this 9pm to midnight is the three-hour window to flip the switch, 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 books. Next question, team.

• 8:18Speaker 04

  How can I tell my mom that I have the same age as you, that she still has time to build something? She's a kindergarten teacher and not really happy with her job. I encourage her to post content about parenting, which would be scary.

• 8:29Speaker 03

  I mean, it's the same old game, right? Like, you have to get her to listen to my podcast. All of you should be checking out my podcast. Gary Vee Podcast, search that right now on ChatGPT or Google. Make sure you do that right now. How many of you are, actually, let's be honest right now, all 888 of you, good little number. 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 Vee 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.

• 9:11Speaker 03

  All that life is, is your mindset, your perspective, how you see the world.

• 9:18Speaker 03

  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 next. 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 47",

• 10:03Speaker 03

  "That's me, I'm 39", 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 can 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.

• 10:38Speaker 03

  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, robots. 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 TV with Gary Vee. 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, I do this, but I don't know how to get you there unless you constantly listen to it over and over until it breaks through. How many people here, no bullshit, please put in the chat, have broken through mentally, have gone from cynical to positive because of therapy, who you hang out with, who you've cut out? Who's had a breakthrough?

• 11:23Speaker 03

  Say "I've broken through", say "I've broken through" in the chat. Because I need people to see others. You see me. Everybody, look in the chat right now. Like, people can break through, but to answer to 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.

• 12:07Speaker 03

  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 over-coddled, so we're blaming. So you're scared and you're blaming. Do you know that there's actually kids that are Gen Z that actually blame boomers? Like, actually. Like, there's actually

• 12:51Speaker 03

  random 27, 34-year-olds who are like, "It's the 80-year-old's fault." That's insanity.

• 12:57Speaker 02

• 13:29Speaker 03

  I don't got this.

• 13:30Speaker 06

  You need Nyquil Intense Flu.

• 13:32Speaker 07

  Undo your flu symptoms with Nyquil Intense Flu. The nighttime sniffling, aching, aching fever best leave with a flu medicine. You do got this. Use as directed, keep out of reach of children.

• 13:43Speaker 03

  Like, it's exhausting. So, I don't know, like, what I would tell your mama is, start listening to optimistic, offense-oriented people. That's why offense-oriented orangutan is one of my favorite B friends. Offense-oriented orangutan is really on deep... Who's a B friends collector here? Say B friends. 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 O. Triple O is a beast, like, who's offense-oriented? Like, almost everything that comes out of my mouth is offense-oriented.

• 14:29Speaker 03

  That's it, man. That's what we need to be. All right, let's keep it going, next question.

• 14:33Speaker 05

  Okay, this question is from Rochelle. How do you find work-life balance while you have anxiety that you're not doing enough?

• 14:39Speaker 03

  By giving yourself grace, by realizing there's no such thing as work-life balance. This morning, I was actually thinking, I was like, you know, at that time of year, I'm like, was 25 a good year? Like, do I feel good about it? Like, how do I feel like I did? Reality is, 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'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.

• 15:23Speaker 03

  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've 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, 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 could 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,

• 16:06Speaker 03

  and like, DraftKings 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 15th time in the last 2 weeks. Like, that's probably not productive. So there's a level of like, like, loving yourself, 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 for sucking." 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,

• 16:51Speaker 03

  "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.

• 17:01Speaker 03

  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 yesterday you were like, "I blew this whole year, I blew my whole life", it really doesn't matter. Today's always day 1.

• 17:22Speaker 03

  Today is day one, y'all. For example, Nomas, Michael Sill Cillian, DeMarcus Collection, and Acton Prompting all bought this book? Probably the day one next year. They're gonna read it, and they're gonna get better at social media content, and they can start winning. Alright, next question.

• 17:38Speaker 05

  Alex Eske, I'm 23, and I'm struggling to figure out my career. I want to build something for myself, but my girlfriend of four years wants to get married and move out soon. I expect me to work on a traditional job. I don't know what to do. Any advice?

• 17:52Speaker 03

  9pm to midnight. You could do both. Like, I don't understand how people don't realize you can do both. You can work 9 to 5, and then you could work in the evening. Now, first of all, your girlfriend since you were 18, and now you're 22, you guys are young. Like, I know that's how they did it in the old days, and you might be immigrant life, and that's how you still do it. I get it, but like, I would just say like, outside pressure is always wrong. You can't live your life based on what your girlfriend, fiance, 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 people pleasers must protect yourself

• 18:36Speaker 03

  from resenting those that you're pleasing, and then blaming them for it. I'm gonna say that again. Many of you that are people pleasers must protect yourself from resenting those that you're doing the people pleasing for, only to blame them for it when you decided to do it.

• 19:00Speaker 03

  This has been a vulnerability of mine through my life's journey. You are deciding to please someone else: your mom, your dad, your husband, your wife, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your child.

• 19:14Speaker 03

  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 because I'm like, because I want you to like me. I actually don't give a fuck if any of you like me. I like the people please because I'm in a good place and I like it. It feels, it fulfills me. Yeah, I get it Jay Chap, but it's really, really important. You know, like, 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.

• 20:01Speaker 03

  That's it. Accountability matters. A lot of you have to check yourselves. We need more humility, more self-awareness. I really hope this helped someone this morning. I really hope this helped someone this morning. This is real stuff. A lot of you pointing fingers when it's actually thumbs. Alright, I'm gonna talk to the chat for a little bit. Just talking to the chat a little bit. Everybody in the chat. Christie says, "Wow, I've never looked at it like that before." See, that's what I'm here for. See, Christie 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.

• 20:43Speaker 03

  People think there's right. 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? Other people disappoint you? JoJo says, "Wow Gary, you look tired." I said, "No, no, no, JoJo, it's just I'm 50 now, and I don't use face cream, and I'm not doing the facelift thing. I'm not doing it!

• 21:27Speaker 03

  I'm not doing the plastic surgery. Look, you'll never believe it, like I can make myself look better, but I'm 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,

• 21:57Speaker 03

  that's you. If you're disappointed by others, it's not them, it's you.

• 22:04Speaker 03

  Cool, let's keep going.

• 22:06Speaker 04

  David S. My girlfriend and I have totally changed our lives in the last 3 years. We hardly drink, don't take drugs, just bought a house and had a baby. Recently, we feel like all of the friends we have accumulated being young and crazy are dwindling as we're living a better life, and we haven't yet found our new life-minded friends. Is it still worth trying to make an effort with our old friends, even though it seems like we have less and less in common as we're growing up?

• 22:29Speaker 03

  You know, friendship comes in different levels.

• 22:34Speaker 03

  I think we can all agree with that, right? Everybody, you all agree, like, right? You have like, 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? That's it. You know, maybe those friends that were drugs and party and nightlife were, used to be deepest when you were in the same shit together, and maybe they can convert into light. You can see them once or twice a year reminisce, old stories catch up.

• 23:15Speaker 03

  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?

• 23:50Speaker 03

  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 100 or zero. And those people tend to have no friends.

• 24:08Speaker 03

  I'm a little bit more like there's different levels to the game.

• 24:13Speaker 03

  5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 5, 4, 2, and 1. By the way, I hate when you evaluate employees or other things, random thing. You have to get rid of the number in the middle. If you evaluate employees, managers, if you have like an evaluation system of like 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, get rid of 3. Everybody evaluates at 3. Get rid of the 3. Force them into a 4 or 2. Little, little, little side thing while we're here. Alright, let's keep going.

• 24:38Speaker 05

  Question from Michael. How would you handle working 2 jobs while trying to get a business off the ground? Some days I just don't have the physical energy because my body will literally shut down. And I want to ensure that I'm taking care of myself help-wise.

• 24:49Speaker 03

  Patience.

• 24:52Speaker 03

  Like, there's plenty of times where my body's tired and I go super hard and I go to sleep. I love a good go to sleep at 9, wake up at 8.

• 25:02Speaker 03

  I, I think I've slept 11 hours twice in the last 30 days. 11!

• 25:09Speaker 03

  You like that, Brad? Yeah, you didn't see that coming, huh? Yeah, man. I'll, I listen to my body all day. I have unlimited ambitions, but I don't get this. Like, when, when do people think it's over? Everybody just wants it too fast. Lack of patience, this is why I talk about patience all day. Alright, let's keep it going.

• 25:30Speaker 05

  Clark is asking, what is more important to you as a leader? Challenging your employees with new tasks to grow or making sure they, to give them tasks that they excel at?

• 25:38Speaker 03

  The answer is "and". Both of those things matter to me the most. Players in a position to succeed, create paths to stretch them, to learn about them and get context of what they're good and not good at. By the way, when I give new employees new tasks, different things to do, I don't necessarily need them to be great at it. I want to create opportunity for them for career growth and I want to get context on their ability. But I'm not disappointed. They do not lose when they fail at new tasks. And sometimes I'll go back to the same person and give them a third up or second or fourth bite at that apple.

• 26:18Speaker 03

  Got it? So employees, if you've got a great boss, if you fail at a new task, sometimes it's not a bad thing. Alright, go ahead.

• 26:29Speaker 04

  So last week on LinkedIn we did a poll that said, what is the number one reason that you would leave your job? For work-life balance, a difficult boss, salary or other? After 10,000 posts, the number one answer at 40% was a difficult boss. Any reaction to that?

• 26:44Speaker 03

  Makes a lot of sense to me. Like, I mean, to me, that's exactly right. Like, I think most people leave jobs for a difficult boss or more money somewhere else. That makes sense. That's the way it should be, right? Finances matter and happiness matter. It really kind of makes a lot of sense. You know, and so, in fact, a lot of... How many people in the chat have left a job for more money, got there, didn't like the bosses much, and then went back to their prior job for less money than their new job for the old salary or maybe an increase from the... like, something in between. How many people have done that? Say Boomerang.

• 27:29Speaker 03

  Say Boomerang. How many people have done that? Had a job, left for 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.

• 27:44Speaker 03

  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? 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, you know, someone said "never go backwards" to that. I view that as forward. If you go through an experience where you go,

• 28:28Speaker 03

  that job is not as good, and then you go back? Back to the same amount, or in between the two numbers? Fuck, man, some people might have gone back to, you know... Hove 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. 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.

• 30:00Speaker 05

  Okay, this question is from Vinit. In the coming era, organic social is a bang-on thing. But apart from building your brand organically, what do you think will be the highest-growing asset someone can own digitally right now? Especially with all the AI and Web 2.0 buzz happening?

• 30:13Speaker 03

  The highest asset is attention.

• 30:17Speaker 03

  You know? The highest asset is attention. Biggest asset in the world is attention. Amassing it creates opportunity, right? Oh, Corso says "P with Gary Vee." I could do this show from the bathroom. Could be huge. Oh, this might be a good time to announce my new show. I'm launching a new show in 2026 called

• 30:40Speaker 03

  "No Whining with Gary Vee." No whining. Or whining, but what did I call it?

• 30:47Speaker 03

  Whining? No, I was thinking about whining down, but then I like no whining. Right? Where I taste a wine. It's gonna be a mix of Ask Gary Vee, Tea with Gary Vee, 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 learn it. But then really being on like the no-excuse kick.

• 31:12Speaker 03

  So, anyway. I would say there's so many things. Let me break this down for everyone. 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,

• 31:35Speaker 03

  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 have been seeing 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'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?

• 32:19Speaker 03

  Everybody, please Google or ChatGPT Gary Vee podcast. It's the Gary Vee 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.

• 32:34Speaker 05

  Donna Sasek, I'm 66.

• 32:36Speaker 03

  66. I wish I were 67.

• 32:40Speaker 05

  Worked two jobs for 24 years, looking for suggestions to supplement my social security after retiring next year in July. Is something online really possible for an older person?

• 32:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, of course. I mean, live social shopping is the answer. My number one thing for everybody who's watching right now, as we go into 2026, I do believe the biggest opportunity for most of you, for the thousand of you that are watching right now, I believe the number one opportunity, number one opportunity, is live social shopping. TikTok Shop, TikTok Affiliate, whatnot, Twitch, District, which is an app that lets you do live shopping. 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.

• 33:36Speaker 03

  For everyone who's saying don't know, you just go into ChatGPT 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, by the way, my comic books are gonna be part of the affiliate. You guys need this. You guys need this. You need to figure out what's going on with comics. Let me know if you picked up a Vee Friends product. The answer to that question was for that 66-year-old woman is live shopping. Who here thinks they're a good salesman?

• 34:17Speaker 03

  You've worked retail, you've been 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 Arugla, 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.

• 35:01Speaker 03

  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. It's a big focus of mine for January. Alright, go ahead.

• 35:23Speaker 04

  My son grew up wanting to be a YouTuber for his gaming. I was always very supportive of this. He's 22 and refuses to try the software I got him to record his gameplay. I know he probably needs someone to sit with him and figure out the software and encourage him, but I'm a woman of few words and honestly, it's more like nagging at this point. Can you give him a message of encouragement to make his dream a reality?

• 35:43Speaker 03

  Yeah, bro, stop being a bitch. You're a fucking bitch.

• 35:50Speaker 03

  I don't know what to do, Aaron. I'm trying, I don't know, like clearly loving. You know, like you have to understand, like this is what the old school like mom dad dynamics, why I created such a good earth. There's the nurturing and then there's like, you know, like the push. Like you can't have two parents or two mentors who both just...

• 36:13Speaker 03

  We're good?

• 36:16Speaker 03

  We're good, are we still here? Everybody, are we still here? Alright, that was weird. That was... Interesting. Uh, are we back? Was that a phone call you got that changed? No, something weird?

• 36:31Speaker 03

  Okay, we're fine. I mean, I feel like even TikTok algorithm didn't want me to give the real advice. I feel like the Matrix just now tried to stop me from helping everyone. Did anybody just see that? Like, I feel like I'm giving the real shit, and they don't want it! They don't want it! 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 over-coddled. Mommy's been trying to help you, dickface, and you're not doing anything about it. And to the mom, and to all the parents that are over-coddling your kids, stop! 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!

• 37:23Speaker 03

  Here's the encouragement: "You're a fucking bitch." Get off your fucking ass, 'cause fucking crying about it, and pointing fingers, and being like, "I'll never be clicks." "He got lucky," or "Mongrel got lucky," or "Marlin got lucky," or "Lacey got lucky," or "FaceClad got lucky," or "I can't do it." No, stop fucking crying, and fucking man up, you're fucking 22 years old.

• 37:45Speaker 03

  Fucking...

• 37:51Speaker 03

  Here's words of encouragement: "You're a fucking bitch." Stop bitching. I don't know what else to say, like...

• 38:00Speaker 03

  Right, Gus? 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... In this scenario, I'm just following the question. If someone... If, if... Now, if this question was like, "Hey, I've been calling my son a bitch for two years." Do you have any words of encouragement? Say, "Yeah, tell him you love him, and he's the best, and he's capable." This is the yin and yang.

• 38:31Speaker 03

  But like, when you're all in on one thing, over coddling, love bombing, you gotta go to the bitch and to fucking like, throw him in the snow. Go shovel some fucking snow today. You know? So like, gotta find the middle. I don't know. Alright, let's keep going.

• 38:51Speaker 05

  Okay, this question is from Matt. 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, so why don't you start becoming more secure?

• 39:07Speaker 03

  By losing more. I don't think people get it, like, you start getting comfortable with, by losing more and loving yourself more. It's two extremes. Again, using, you know how bridges pull hard from both sides? And they help you get across to the other side? There's a real analogy there, right? I'm trying to get people to cross the other side. 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 are awesome. Like, real talk, all of you are great. Real talk, you're great. And you're a little bitch. Like, that's it. Like, I don't understand how this is so hard.

• 39:51Speaker 03

  You're the best, and you suck at most things. That's good! And definitely this. So, I think there's something there. Trying to get people to the other side of happiness, they need to cross the bridge. The bridge comes from pulling from opposite directions, right? Which is, you're awesome, and you suck at many things, and they can coexist, everyone. This is that whole black and white thing that all of you are struggling with. If you read this and you do it, you will grow on social media. You will grow. Things will happen. I know that to be true. Lacey, Adwan, Francisco, Michelle, they all bought the book.

• 40:34Speaker 03

  Court, do you know how positive I am that 2 out of 4 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? 4 out of 5.

• 40:58Speaker 03

  Now what?

• 41:00Speaker 03

  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. Right? Like you do the checkbox. You posture that you're about it, but you're not about it. You write "entrepreneur" 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.

• 41:46Speaker 03

  Now I need all of you that say this? Yeah, and I blame my ADHD. I'm ADHD'd?

• 41:54Speaker 03

  Alright, it looks like you can't say "full of shit", probably in the chat. 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. Don't be mad. If you're FOS, I need to know how old you are. FOSs. Uh, what's FOS? "Full of shit", you posture, you buy all the equipment. You bought? How many people just? Here's a big one. I need you to say "me", with like a bunch of exclamation points. "I need this so bad", Josh, it might be you, Carrie, it might be you,

• 42:39Speaker 03

  Rush Power, it might be you. How many of you just bought this book and you know you're not gonna read it? I need it. Say "me", with all caps, and 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 FOSs.

• 42:57Speaker 03

  Right? That's it.

• 43:04Speaker 03

  How many of you have hired the trainer? Or paid for a fitness thing and don't live that life?

• 43:14Speaker 03

  Runners are huge. They get the nice sneakers. Like, people live that life, so enough. But don't beat yourself up. It's hard. Being disciplined is hard.

• 43:28Speaker 03

  Being disciplined is hard. How many of you are very disciplined in one part of your life and very not disciplined in another? That's everyone's, right? We all know. Everybody just raised their hand here. The whole crew. Aaron did, Ragav did, Braden did, Noreya, Courtney, and Train. All of us did it. All of us did it. Me too. I tried to eat disciplined this weekend. Lost all three days. I'm like, "I'm gonna kill Friday, Saturday, Sunday." Lost all three! 0 for 3! 0 for 3!

• 43:59Speaker 03

  Even on bad weekends, I'm like, "1 for 3, 2 for 3." Went 0 for 3, I'm like, "I'm gonna crush." 0 for 3!

• 44:08Speaker 03

  I get it. The reason I can talk about this is because I get it. We all get it. But I'm telling you all, you gotta fight. If you're unhappy, you gotta fight. If you're unhappy, you gotta fight. Alright, next question.

• 44:22Speaker 04

  Jared asks, "I know how much, I know that you talk about how much your mother's support meant to you. If you could envision that your mom had been strongly opposed to you starting your own company and your ventures, what would you have done to overcome that?"

• 44:36Speaker 03

  I would have built that company and stuck it to her face. My mom is my hero, and she pushed back on me on a lot of things. And I stuck it to her. She pushed back on me on school. My mom grounded my ass every single report card and progress report.

• 44:55Speaker 03

  By the way, when I talk about my mom and dad, the way I talk about them, I have a funny feeling for the people that are hardcore that follow me, they have the script confused.

• 45:07Speaker 03

  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.

• 45:23Speaker 03

  Uh-oh. Some of the hardcore Gary Vee fans who've been using, "Well, Gary had a good mom," as the excuse to why not, might have just got caught.

• 45:35Speaker 03

  I live my truth. I focus on good.

• 45:38Speaker 02

• 46:07Speaker 06

  Honey, that flu keeping you up? Did you take NyQuil Intense Flu?

• 46:11Speaker 03

  Nah, I got this. Hmm, okay, I don't got this.

• 46:45Speaker 03

  What would I have done? I would have built a huge fucking business in her mouth. And said, "Now what, bitch?"

• 46:55Speaker 03

  I've done...

• 46:59Speaker 03

  Eric said caught? Yeah, Eric, like, a lot of you have chosen to say, "Well, Gary got lucky that he had a good mom and he came from little, so that made him unstoppable." No, no, Gary has chosen, instead of dwelling on what my parents did wrong or what was done wrong to me. In my little inner family, my brother, my sister, my parents, most of those people feel bad for me.

• 47:23Speaker 03

  They know. A lot. More than you all know.

• 47:32Speaker 03

  I just... Yeah, Katie. What? No way. They feel bad because my parents feel bad that they child labored me and broke my back and had all these physical issues. They feel bad because they held me to a standard that they didn't do my other siblings. Like, they feel bad that I'm the emotional and financial stability of it, like... Yeah.

• 47:57Speaker 03

  Here's the secret though. I don't feel bad for me.

• 48:03Speaker 03

  I like being a gangster. I like taking the last shot and missing and having the whole crowd boo me. I like your judgment.

• 48:15Speaker 03

  I like your judgment. That's the thing that I always, uh, laugh about. Is, people that wanna hate and troll don't realize that that makes me happier.

• 48:27Speaker 03

  I feel so bad for my haters. Man, I would hate to be a Gary Vee hater if they knew how much juice that gives me and how happy I get. It would break their fucking little, soft, insecure heart.

• 48:45Speaker 03

  It would break their little fucking, soft-ass bitch soul.

• 48:51Speaker 03

  It would hurt them. They feed me. So, that's it. That's it. That's the game. And I believe everyone can get there.

• 49:01Speaker 03

  I believe, it's crazy what I actually believe. I know this. Zachary, thank you so much. Actually, how many people have met me in real life? Said, "Met you in 2018, great guy." You know what's so funny? I have such a nice persona and then I still stun people in real life. Because you're able to be more, like, you know, like... Let's keep going. Next question.

• 49:21Speaker 05

  I've built my business to 6 million followers on TikTok and 1 million views. And now I want to build my personal brand, but I'm a turn between the expectations I grew up with and the person I know I'm becoming. I come from a very traditional Mexican Catholic family in a small town where being silly, loud, or saying bad words 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 will judge me?

• 49:47Speaker 03

  You can separate your accounts now. Everything's about the individual piece of content. So I'm not scared with people creating separate accounts to separate. I'm also not scared for you to blend it in your business account. Both work. If you do a separate account, at first the views will be smaller, but you can still make content that gets millions of views. That's amazing. As far as judgment, my friend, you're being judged now.

• 50:14Speaker 03

  For everybody who's scared to jump, like this gentleman Gilbert, I've got a crazy one for you. I've got a crazy, I've got a truth bomb that's gonna blow your face off. Finally, third time's a charm. Alright, here's a secret that's gonna, this is actually, I'm actually about to change many people's lives right here on the spot. I've never said this out loud.

• 50:38Speaker 03

  For everyone who's scared 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.

• 51:05Speaker 03

  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 bitch and having it. I judge, and I try not to judge, but I judge. I don't really judge. It's so funny, I tried to force it. It's the greatest gift I, I don't fucking judge. It's such a fucking gift. I am so blessed. It's so funny, I couldn't even hold that. I don't know how to judge. The truth is, I am desperately sad and empathetic and sympathetic and sad for those that I see are winners who aren't jumping.

• 51:50Speaker 03

  You could call that a version of judgment. My friends, you're being judged. You're just being judged by winners.

• 52:01Speaker 03

  I know Jennifer Wright, that was a game changer. I've never, I know that's a, was that a fucking bomb? Holy shit. You're scared because you're being judged by the conservative and the losing. I don't like judgment. And meanwhile, the silent winners of the world are judging you for being a bitch. Oh my god. That is so big. Holy shit, that's big. You're actually being judged by the winners and the greats. Yeah, Katie Wright, that is a dang. Everyone's scared to jump and be their true selves because they're scared of the judgment of the losing.

• 52:40Speaker 03

  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 because they're focused on their own shit and building. They don't have time to tell you.

• 52:52Speaker 03

  I can't believe that just happened. That is like a crazy secret.

• 52:57Speaker 03

  Holy fuck. Whose life just completely, who was just like, I'm a little bit like fuck. I'd never put it to words. 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? Court you, you got hit by that?

• 53:41Speaker 03

  It's a good one, right?

• 53:45Speaker 03

  I'm cooking this morning. Wow, that was big, man.

• 53:55Speaker 03

  That was real. Let's keep it going. I judge myself sometimes. Friends, when you judge yourself, you've been instilled judgment by others and you think it's you. You're not judging yourself. All of you naturally love yourself. This is wild. Here's another one. Who hears shits on themselves and judges themselves? Whose relationship here? I need everybody. I need everybody. I need absolutely all 1,300 of you. We're all answering. Ready? Here we go.

• 54:24Speaker 03

  If 100% is where I... I feel like I'm 95 to 100. If 95 to 100% is 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 egotistical. You got this nice balance. If 100% is 100 and 0% is like, "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 $3 million 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 up to $65 million for him,

• 55:08Speaker 03

  left, started VaynerMedia 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, dickface, because I built something for my dad because 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 12 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? Dickface. Now what? Bitch. You like that, Trey? 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.

• 55:53Speaker 03

  Left with nothing.

• 55:56Speaker 03

  Real talk, why do you think I tell all of you? That I think you can do it at 34 after fucking bleeding and breaking my back and working 100 hours a week For 12 years straight and giving up my entire twenties and all that? Yeah. Okay. Get your fucking history right if you've got something to say.

• 56:17Speaker 03

  Alright, going back to the percentages. I need percentages, y'all. I need percentages. I need percentages. I know the explanation's 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.

• 56:34Speaker 03

  They need them. I am the bubble hockey guy. Alright, 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% and you're loved 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!

• 57:06Speaker 03

  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.

• 57:26Speaker 05

  Okay, this question is from Jonah. How do you pursue projects to discover your passion when you have to work a full-time job you don't really like? I currently take care of and support two of my younger siblings, can't afford to work less hours, but never seem to have the time or energy to work on projects that might let me, might get me out of my job that I don't like.

• 57:43Speaker 03

  9pm to 12, that's the big takeaway here. This is gonna be a platform I'm gonna play on next year. 9pm to 12pm is your time and if someone says I'm too tired, well then, then that's that. Then live in it.

• 57:57Speaker 03

  How many people here are living in this room and then everyone, say me? How many people here are living, doing certain things that they wish they weren't, but they feel obligated for family reasons or just living a life? Who feels obligated? Say me, me?

• 58:14Speaker 03

  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.

• 58:58Speaker 03

  You're a normal human being that has responsibilities. Who here has no responsibilities?

• 59:05Speaker 03

  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 depressed.

• 59:17Speaker 03

  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.

• 59:31Speaker 03

  Life is about enjoying the unenjoyable. Feel pride in what you do for everyone else. 9pm 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, they didn't have the internet, they didn't have social media. Your motherfuckers can make one video at 10:15 tomorrow night that changes the course of your life.

• 1:00:02Speaker 03

  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.

• 1:00:13Speaker 03

  I can't be doing this. 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 10:16 on a weekday for enjoyment or value. I don't live that life. I haven't done that shit since I was fucking 18.

• 1:00:35Speaker 03

  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? Are you... 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. "I'm watching this at work." No shit, but when I work, I work. I don't watch fucking Gary Vee on TikTok.

• 1:01:08Speaker 03

  Yeah, you guys are winning. You guys are winning.

• 1:01:14Speaker 03

  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 50s, I decided. 50 to 60, 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?

• 1:01:57Speaker 03

  GaryVee dot... 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. Because why not? What are we doing out here?

• 1:02:36Speaker 03

  We have it 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.

• 1:03:01Speaker 03

  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've got it good. And Alina says you'll get better. You're damn right I will. I fucking pumped out 70s this weekend. On the fucking flat bench, 70s, 5 times, and fucking dominated it. That's a nice number. Right? You guys are bigger, like, what do you do? What do you do? Yeah, well, your chest looks humongous. Like, right? Yeah, bro, I'm fucking, and like, fucking, 7 years ago, like, 25s, I was dead. Yeah, man, I had no muscles. Like, you fucking put in work, like, and that shit doesn't come natural to me. And I'm not naturally built for it. You're naturally thicker than I am. It's hard. Like, I'm thin as shit.

• 1:03:47Speaker 03

  I don't have a natural fucking chest. You came out the womb with a fucking chest. Train. Alright, let's keep going.

• 1:03:53Speaker 05

  I saw your recent photo of social shopping. Is it really realistic to make that kind of money, you said? And what is the best way to start? You're the veteran.

• 1:04:02Speaker 03

  The best way to start is to find something to sell and to go live and do it. It's fucking real, man. Live shopping is gonna be massive. All of you are gonna be super pumped. Lando, big shout-out to you. You're all gonna be super pumped. I remember listening to you on Uber Eats 7 years ago. Mr. Beats, thank you. Like, this is real. All of you, all of you can do this. 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 every, friends, every single thing that is worth it is hard. Love is hard.

• 1:04:47Speaker 03

  Relationships is hard.

• 1:04:50Speaker 03

  Being healthy and strong is hard. Making money is hard. We have to fucking fall in love with hard.

• 1:05:50Speaker 04

  Johnny, I was fucked over by my mom about the inheritance of her apartments. All my plans of having passive income are crushed. I'm 37. How do I recover from this knockdown?

• 1:06:01Speaker 03

  Easy. Take that anger and despair and negativity and turn it into positive fuel. Hold no resentment towards mom, move on, and just go cook? You're a grown ass man.

• 1:06:18Speaker 03

  Being mad about something you didn't even earn is some crazy ass shit. So this is on video forever. Anyone who cries and bitches and moans and complains about inheritance is a fucking bitch.

• 1:06:40Speaker 03

  Crying and complaining about something you didn't even earn? What does this need to do? Man the fuck up. You're 37 and you're a kid. You could do this. Fucking do whatever the person that was gonna leave you the inheritance. I can't tell if it was the grandpa or the grandma or the mom. I don't know the details here. Do what the person that fucking earned that real estate did and earn your own shit. Rely on no one but yourself. Are you serious? People crying and mad at people for inheritance?

• 1:07:13Speaker 03

  Are we really at that place where we're crying and mad at people for some shit we didn't even do?

• 1:07:20Speaker 03

  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? Johnny. Johnny? Johnny, no judgment. I'm not mad at you. I don't think you're a loser. That was me giving love. That was love. Johnny, how you crying? Like, if Johnny was my best friend, 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. Yeah, I'd be like, dude, I'd be like, dude, you didn't earn that shit anyway, Johnny.

• 1:07:58Speaker 03

  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, thank you. 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.

• 1:08:14Speaker 03

  That's some bitch shit. One more question.

• 1:08:16Speaker 05

  Question from Sarah. I'm 31 years old, I work a comfy corporate job that I don't want.

• 1:08:21Speaker 03

  How old?

• 1:08:22Speaker 05

  31.

• 1:08:23Speaker 03

  Young.

• 1:08:24Speaker 05

  Um, great pay and benefits, but I'm very lit up and passionate about real estate investing. I want to do that full-time. It's not even about the money for me, I just love it. I have a three-unit rental property and have successfully flipped one house that made me 30K.

• 1:08:37Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 1:08:38Speaker 05

  I'm about to flip another one. How do I know when to make this?

• 1:08:40Speaker 03

  Now. Now, you're 31. You can go back and get a cushy job in the future if you fail. Friends, you can always get another job. I know everyone's trying to scare you and say AI's taking every job. AI is not taking every job. People that use AI are taking every job. 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?

• 1:09:12Speaker 03

  ¿Cómo están las personas que tomaron empleo en la década de 90 y principios de 2000? Personas que usaban el ordenador y Internet. ¿Podrías imaginar la audacia de entrar en mi equipo y decir: "No usas ordenadores, pero no usas Internet"?

• 1:09:31Speaker 03

  ¿Cómo está la aparato móvil? ¿Qué crees que pasaría si vinieras y dijeras: "Quiero trabajar contigo", sabes cómo trabajamos, "pero no uso aparatos móviles"? ¿Cómo crees que funcionaría? Eso es todo lo que está haciendo la AI. Al menos en el corto plazo. La AI es bastante grande, hay más que venir. Pero... Siempre puedes conseguir otro trabajo.

• 1:09:55Speaker 03

  Ella está lista. Mucha gente sueña. Ella actuó. Ya ha vendido y ganado un 30K de lucro. Tiene otro que está en proceso. Ella tiene 31 años. Tiene que saltar ayer. Tiene que dejar de trabajar hoy. Su renuncia tiene que pasar ahora.

• 1:10:15Speaker 03

  Todo el mundo, estoy saltando ahora mismo. Nunca te perderás uno de estos shows. No quiero que te pierdas. Estoy loco en 2026.
