No, it does different on every platform. Every platform's different; you need to do different. It's why I'm writing books about this. This is an algorithm problem, why? No, it's a you problem, Sarah. You're the problem. We've been talking about this for [__] decades. I used to have black hair when I talked about this [__]. I have gray hair, Tyler. I wrote Jab Jab Jab in 2012.
No, it's not an algorithm problem; it's a you problem. You're supposed to do slightly different content: the first 3 seconds, the thumbnail, the copy, the edit. You think LinkedIn's like TikTok? How the [__] have you not been listening?
I'm at a point right now where I really want to start expanding out, and I have so many ideas, um, as you, as you do as well. And I guess my question is, uh, you know, I don't have like a team that can execute every single idea that I have. What do you recommend, like the process you go through to like choosing what ideas to specifically focus on?
Sean, how long have you watched my content? Uh, since like 2016 when you were yelling that could have been a [__] bus. Yeah, so that's 9 years ago. Back then, I had five or six people on my team, or whatever it was. Like, it's one at a time, brother. Pick one. Pick one of the ideas you want. And look, I've been seeing you; you've been blowing up like heavy, right? Which means there's an opportunity for you. The biggest mistake that creators like you make is they spend the money they make on dumb [__]--not reinvest it in their business. I did that for the first three years of like making money. Think about that. So in those three years, you could have been pouring it into employees that… think about how many people see you doing tricks with Charlie D'Amelio and this and that and all the cool [__] you do that would want to work for you for minimum wage. They'd rather work for you and hustle on social than work at Wendy's. Do you know how many employees right now, between 16 and 22, work at Wendy's and Target and Walmart and a car wash and random ass [__] places that would break their arm to make the same per hour working for you doing whatever? And do you know how many of those kids are actually talented? 5 to 10%. And you may hire some; you may have this video with me and hire the wrong kid and have to fire them six months later, three months later, but like you need to invest in a team, brother.
Yeah, you have… I mean, I got to be so with you. Like, I've done everything, like pretty much everything myself, and so it's like that next part, and it makes sense to me. You've been… you've been spending your money on [__] Air Force Ones and trips and [__] jewelry and [__] whatever the [__] you're buying.
Yeah, yeah, you're right. But I also… it's like when I look at all these other YouTubers, when they get to the next pinnacle of like what they want to do, it's like everybody has a team. And right now it's like very small. I did my own stuff all by myself from 2006 to 2014. Eight years. Eight years. I don't know what people think this game is; it's a [__] marathon. Everyone's going to realize that I was right about the patience thing. Everyone's going to realize I was right about… you're 50; you're still young. People can make fun along the way. Do you know I get [__] 50 messages a day, basically people swallowing their pride and being like, "You were right about this, that, the other thing." And it's not because I'm right, brother; I'm just speaking wisdom. OG [__]. All those 90-year-olds that I hung out with my whole life, because that's what I did, weirdly. They taught me this [__]. I'm not a [__] smart; I just spoke to old people. Not my grandparents, maybe because I didn't… only, honestly… maybe because I only had one grandparent, 'cause everyone died. You know, it was that Russia [__]; everyone died young. Like, I'm not smart; I just listen to old people who lived.
All of us are so obsessed with the youth right now. Everybody wants to look young; everybody wants to think 22-year-olds are [__] whiz kids on AI and social. We're all [__] putting 22-year-olds on a pedestal, and we're [__] on 90-year-olds. They're old; they don't get it; they don't understand technology. Haha, grandma doesn't know how to use TikTok [__]. They know how to live life. You don't know [__]. Oh, who's the winner? Natalie California selling. Natalie California selling. Let's clap it up for Natalie.
So, so when you're talking to me about being a creator and being a businessman, well, guess what? I've been doing it every single day since February 21st, 2006, and before I did that, I built a business every single day from 1994 to 2006. I lived it. That's why it's so easy for me to tell you that's the answer, my guy. And you know, doing it by yourself… of course, everyone does it by themselves. Logan did it by himself; Charlie did it by herself. Everybody did it by themselves until they didn't. Some people buy Lambos, and some people invest in their business. That's so real, as real as it [__] gets, my guy.
What if, uh, like I have three like ideas I'm just like so passionate about, and I just believe in all… Flip a coin. Flip a coin. I do, too. I… when I did VFriends, I had all sorts of other things. One of them was to create an AI influencer. Now I'm getting around to that now, after I did the VFriends thing. You got to pick one. What are you going to lay in bed and debate the rest of your life? Pick one. Flip a [__] coin. Gary, you're so real, bro, and I really appreciate you for that, bro. Thank you, bro. Action. Action.
Just remember that: only action. By balancing humility and confidence and self-esteem… hum… you know, sometimes people struggle with me because they think I'm a contradiction, right? Like, you know, like one… one time I'm like, care about what everybody says, but then I'm like, don't give a f, and they're a little confused. That's actually life. Life is figuring out how to balance opposing energies. How do I do that, McKenzie? I take feedback all day; I listen to all sorts of [__], and equally, I'm completely utterly confident and don't give a [__] about what anybody says. And they're both easy, and sometimes I choose this, and sometimes I choose that, you know, by… by learning how to balance… the biggest problem for most people is that they're so black and white. Black and white and rigid and binary is [__] all of you up. Uh… uh… I posted something yesterday; I noticed one of the comments on my Instagram was, "Well, this doesn't work all the time." No [__] dick, nothing on earth works all the time. Not one thing on earth works all the time. What thing works all the time? Maybe love, deploying love might work all the time, but anyway… nonetheless, you know, very easily, McKenzie, by deciding which one is right in the moment. Confident, confident, confident. It's not working? You're getting feedback? [__] them, [__] them, [__] them. You wake up 18 months later; it's not working? Maybe it wasn't [__] them; maybe you were delusional. Feedback, feedback, feedback. [__] them, [__] them, [__] them. Boom! I exploded; I was right; they were wrong. Both happen.
I work for a B2B tooling distribution business, a cutting tool distribution business. We're a small, family-run company; there's nine employees. We're literally right around the corner from the juggernaut of the state, which has like 200 employees. What would you do if you were to come in here as an outside tooling salesman, day one, today, to grow and scale this company?
The David and Goliath story is always a lot of fun for me because that's what my situation was when I went to my dad's liquor store. And I think it's alternative marketing, and I really do believe the stuff I talk about, brother, is what it comes down to. So I'd probably… first, my favorite B2B move is to start a podcast and interview the people that we want to be clients, right? So you've got the behemoth next to you, and you've got you, and you pretty much know… how many… do you know how many clients the company has? Uh, our… our company? Yeah, like what do you think… like the target is… is like how many potential clients do you guys have? There's thousands in the state. You know, there's… in manufacturing, we've got a lot of medical device manufacturers; we've got all sorts of different manufacturing in this state, so there's thousands of businesses. Yeah, I mean, I think… I think it's a very heavy game of Instagram… excuse me, LinkedIn DMing, messages that are really not spammy. And I think the best way to not be spammy is to provide value versus asking them to buy things from you. And I think the first thing I would do if I was an outside salesman is be a salesman and a marketer and say, "Hey, I really, really, really want to start a podcast, and I want to interview the biggest… uh… realer." Adrian says, "How does that help?" It helps because you start conversations with potential clients that aren't starting with like, "Hey, I'd like you to buy from me." It's more like, "Hey, I'd like to make content and potentially get you exposure." You know, I've given this advice pretty consistently, and I've gotten… so… I mean, literally emails every single week from very small companies who've been able to get business by just even inviting someone to the podcast, let alone even doing the podcast. So I think that's… that's number one. Uh, I would also think about AI SEO. So I think getting ahead of the next search engine is a big play. The next thing I would do is convince the company to spend some money on… starting on that one… start… you know, starting… Yeah, there's that, which is hard on a nine-person company, which is why I love social. Like my… my first piece of advice doesn't cost any money; you can record it all on an iPhone. My second one costs a little money, which is starting to work with a startup to get your company to be the first result when people do AI chatbots and are starting to move away from Google. Does your business get business from Google results? Uh, we get some business… most of it right now is, you know, literally… uh… cold calling and sales. You're a sales organization, like any B2B company is, which is again why I'm bringing up… um… the first point, because I think it's the best version of cold calling. Cold calling and saying, "Do you want to be on my podcast to tell your business's story or your career story," converts dramatically better than cold calling and saying, "Buy my [__] tools or my tool kiting or what have you." You understand? Yeah. Yes. Even if you… even if you have no audience… even if you have like… like it's amazing because none of these people ever get asked to be on podcasts. Mhm. So they're just thrilled to do it… or for the content, right? It's a production day. So that would be the move, brother. That's, to me, is the killer move in the game right now. I do think if you've got a… for everybody else who's watching… if you got a couple of bucks, starting to figure out that chatbots, ChatGPT, all this stuff… chat assistants… they're going to be giving results to queries… actually watch this… everybody in all of my social and on whatnot… if you are now using ChatGPT, Perplexity, other AI things to do things you used to do on Google… say me and… you know… I think that when you see all the… look at all these Miis in the chat; it's literally… it's absurd. Yeah, I mean, I… I think that… I think that that's right, brother. It's content… free content on social, especially in LinkedIn for you based on your business, is the way to go, but also the cold call outreach for the podcast. Okay, cold call outreach for the podcast. Just one last thing: Do you see any space for our company to be doing anything on whatnot or TikTok Shop or anything like that? I… I don't… I think I don't… okay, I don't think so, but I wanted to ask the question anyway. Not yet. I appreciate the question; I think it's cool, but I don't think it's right for you, per se, just yet.
No [__] Sarah, I've been talking about this for [__] decades, literally. Braden, I've been talking about this for a decade. No [__], it does different on every platform. Every platform is different; you need to do different [__]. It's why I write [__] books about this [__]. Is this an algorithm problem? Why? No, it's a you [__] problem, Sarah. You're the [__] problem. How the [__] have you not been listening? We've been talking about this for [__] decades. I used to have black hair when I talked about this [__]. I had black hair; now I have gray hair, Tyler. I'm still talking about the same [__]. I wrote Jab Jab Jab in 2012; came out in 13 or 14 or whenever the [__] it came out. Jesus [__] Christ. No, it's not an algorithm problem; it's a you problem. You're supposed to do slightly different content: the first three seconds, the thumbnail, the copy, the edit. You think LinkedIn's like TikTok? Sarah is her name? Sarah… Sarah… Jesus Christ.
I am 78 years old; I've been on social media for 4 years and 6 months. My friends tell me to quit because I should have a thousand followers, but I enjoy helping and guiding others. Advice? I really have nothing else… as if friends' opinions on your lack of followers on social should strip you of doing something that makes you happy… as if… Tessa… Tessa, I need you to get a… actually, Tessa, I'm going to be prescriptive about this. I want you to gather the friends… you know… this, McKenzie, it's probably two friends, but if it's six, I want you to do a group text, FaceTime. I want you to get them all on… wait for that black screen to go into a human… when they're all on… or if you… you're doing like the, you know, the early bird special with them… if it's like 5:00 p.m., and you guys are going to dinner in [__] Florida, I want you to sit down, be like, "Friends, I need you to just… I just have one thing to say before we restart this dinner: I spoke to my friend Gary Vee, and I just want you all to know: you need to shut the [__] up." Yes, five years is too long. Yes, it sounds like it's a bad idea. Five years is too long. I mean, look, if you're happy, then good. If you're happy, the answer is always keep going. If you're making 83,000 a year and you live paycheck to paycheck, but you're extremely happy because you like your work-life balance and you just… you're good, you can deal with the stress of paycheck to paycheck; it seems fine, it's normal… well, then keep doing it. But if your business hasn't gotten traction in 5 years… your business blows… McKenzie, do you know how some people make a small fortune by starting with a large fortune? There are many people who inherit money or like come up with some sort of insurance scam and make pretend somebody hit them and their neck… fake hurts, and they get a million bucks, and then they think they're somebody smart and clever, and then they lose money because they suck at business, or they're good at corporate and made a million dollars a year in corporate, and then they start a business… a flower shop… and they lose a hundred thousand a year, but they don't care because they started with a million. Some people create small… you know… fortunes… exactly. Preston said, "My business hasn't gotten more traction in 15 years." But Preston says more traction, which means it has enough traction for it to be viable. It's… some people don't get traction; they got to go get a job or start a new business. But happiness over everything. Oh, Tessa, what did Tessa say? She said, "I have told them to shut the [__] up. Now I'm enjoying myself, meeting new and amazing people who I teach on the five pillars of prosperity." That's right, Tessa. I [__]. Let's clap it up for Tessa.
I'm building the brand up, so I'm trying to be myself, but the one thing I've always struggled with is kind of self-esteem and really being truly who I am to myself. And I'm worried that if I really am trying to connect with people online, but I might say the wrong thing or I might offend them, then they're more less… or they're less likely to buy a word search for their child or for themselves because I might have said something that upsets them. But I still want to be as authent… as authentic… authentic as I can be.
Um, brother, when you're being authentic, opinions are going to be… and how they're going to feel… like, when you're being authentic… when you're saying you're scared you're going to offend them… do you have the intent to be offensive? Are you being political? Are you trying to hurt people's feelings? Oh, no, no, I'm just… I'm just being myself; I'm being honest. Like, I'm just… I'm literally completely being myself, but some people… sort of… for example, one thing I was going to… I was on Threads today, and I love just like looking through what people say on Threads, and someone put something up about… um… people's attitudes, and I was thinking, I want to just put something funny, like saying like… um… people that say that ar… they aren't morning people are just using that as an excuse to be miserable in the morning. And I thought, I just say that because that's my opinion; I'm not trying to offend anybody. Were you… Were you just… Were you just… Were you… Were you… Were you… Were you just watching the show where I gave Tessa advice for her friends? That was the one a few minutes ago where I said for… to Tessa to tell her friends to go shut the [__] up. Did you see that part, right? Okay, okay, right. I believe that there's a lot of people right now, my brother, who don't know my 20 years of kind content who just showed up randomly on TikTok, literally at the moment where I was like… they didn't get any context before; they literally came in live on TikTok or on Instagram or on YouTube or on whatnot, and all they heard from me… the only thing they heard from me was me saying, "Tessa, tell your friends to shut the [__] up." I have a funny feeling, which I actually agree with, when you were saying that… when you were saying that, I was like, "Yes, exactly, but why am I so worried about doing that myself? That's what I don't get." Well, because you're… because you're insecure. Understand? I'm… I'm insecure. You're insecure. I am, and that's okay. I am… that's… by the way, we are all insecure in certain things. If I had to go fight right now in the octagon against Dustin… right… Dustin on my team… who… who… like, I believe… I believe… and he's like… this is tough because I think he has some good tenacity, too, but I feel I have more tenacity, and I would have a lot more to lose, right? Let's say this was live-streamed, and like… if I get knocked out, that's a meme… like that becomes my reputation. I would be insecure because I'm aware that he has put in work into fighting that I haven't put in, right? He's been putting in the work, and I believe that if me and Dustin today went in the octagon, unless I land a lucky punch, right, he's probably going to win. And that means… right before the bell rang or like the guy… hear me out on this, brother. I would be insecure. I'm allowed to be insecure 'cause I'm a human being, and everyone… now I'm not insecure in being online, selling, being a businessman, being out there and being… no… having notoriety. So I just need you to understand: you're allowed to be insecure about this, but that's what's holding you back. And my… and I don't know why… you know… the way that you grew up, your life, your circumstances… you're gonna have to work at that, whether it's therapy, meditation, watching this video over and over… like you've got to break the habit. So it's just about doing it every day and just dealing with the anxiety and not worry so much and just not letting you overthink it and just… just do it. Any… basically, brother, I love that you said that; that was so well said. Do you know what life's about? Do you know what actual life is? It's out having fun; it's enjoying yourself before you die. But the way to… That's right. And you know how you do that? By every person on this call and everybody on my team who's listening right now to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Life is binarily about being comfortable with being uncomfortable. This is why I love sports so much. Do you know why I like competition? Because when you lose, you learn how to deal with losing. What has happened over the last 30 years is that people have tried to overcoddle us and protect us from everything. That is not real. My mom did that when I was younger, so I never really deal with… um… certain parts of adversity. And by the way, I love your mother for that; it was well intended. She tried to do that 'cause she loves you more than everything. You understand that, right? Yes, it was… yes, I completely understand… like, because of my dysfraction and my lack of knowledge of things and my own problems in… in having understanding of… like life's problems… she kind of did a lot for me, but in the same… in the same realm of that, I kind of feel like it hindered me because I lacked the… the ability to know how to approach difficult conversations. It makes sense. It makes sense. Let me ask you a question: How old are you? Yeah, how old are you right now, actually? 35. On 35. Amazing. I have great news: You are now grown, and what your mother misstepped on, you can now fix. You are not allowed anymore, at 35… I'm actually trying to… I'm saying I'm [__] proud of you, and I feel like you're heading in the right direction. I'm… I'm actually trying to start more confronting people about things that I disagree with and not worry too much about whether or not that disturbs the peace between us… if you do it kindly… as a way to practice getting better at… I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you, right?
I started the Career Flipper podcast; I interview people about their weird career changes. I want to turn both my podcast and furniture flipping into my full-time job. How do you advise people like me who are juggling multiple things to create one unified brand?
I think it's one unified brand. You know, I don't… I don't see anything different about being a furniture flipper and a podcaster. Being a podcaster is an overlay… like oxygen around everything. Everybody is a podcaster that is podcasting around being either a creator, an influencer… Jenny, I think you're… you're beating yourself up or making it more complicated than it is. I'm a podcaster; I'm also a million other things. I'm the creator of VFriends; I'm the CEO of VaynerMedia; I'm a partner of VaynerSports; I'm a content creator… winelibrary.com… and a million other things; I don't have to go into it. So I think that it is a cohesive brand. People doing academia on themselves when they're just living… if you want to… if you want to get paid to speak, if you want to do other things… uh… it's very easy: put out content and let the demand come to you. I would be crushing LinkedIn content; I'd be crushing TikTok content and every other platform for that matter. I don't post anything inappropriate or work-related; they just don't like me posting online. I don't want to quit or be fired, but I also don't want to make… give up making content. I like… any advice? Keep doing it until they fire you. I mean, what… what do you… you know… I mean, I don't know… like, what do you want me to do? Like, you know… what I'd probably do is, in parallel, find a job for a different company similar to the one that I'm at. So I would actively be looking for another job; I would be actively continuing to post, and hopefully they don't fire you, and before that you get big enough to bounce… in just real life. And if you get fired, don't blame me; be [__] accountable. That's what I would do. But if you get fired, don't blame me… like, then you know… because I love when people are like, "Well, Gary, I don't… I don't want to do that because I might get fired." I'm like, "Good, then stop doing it." Like, people are obsessed with cake and eat it, too, when they're not in control. You're not in control; you work for someone. Everyone's not in control to something. I'm like… really in control, and I'm not in control… like, if the US is like, "I'm taking away your citizenship," then I can't live here. [__] happens. Life is life. I don't know.
Well, um, I have a pet products brand; I'm a canine herbalist, and I make organic skin care for dogs with sensitivities, allergies. Very cool. I'm working… really hard… thank you… I'm working really hard to build up my social media. I've started a YouTube channel, and I'm launching a podcast; I start recording this week. Amazing. Um, and… um… I'm… I'm… It's been going to be called The Natural Dog Mom, and it's all about educating pet parents about… um… natural health and wellness for their animals… fresh feeding… those sorts of things. So I'm really excited about it… clean, non-chemical… all that stuff that actually leads to this, right? Yes. How many TikToks a day does your pet brand… or you… post for this business? Nowhere near enough, and that's one of the first things I'll be fixing, starting next week. Once I've started filming, I'll be… No, no worries. Hold on. How many… yeah… oh, not… not daily… barely even weekly. I've been very… I've been very, very slack. I need… I'm correcting that. So my dear… a TikTok strategy for you in Australia… well, so VaynerMedia does a lot of business in Australia; we have 100 employees out in Australia… I know that market extremely well. Way more important than a YouTube channel is for you to go all in on TikTok, and you don't need to have a podcast. I'm about… I'm about to do that. Why haven't you done it? Uh, well, for the last couple of months, it's because I've been dealing with… um… I've had to rewrite all of my marketing and website copy, delete half of my social media posts, and rename and redesign a bunch of products because I was flagged by the APVMA, which is the animal equivalent of the Therapeutic Goods Administration here. They sent me a very scary letter and flagged 12 of my formulations, so I have been flat chat… um… trying to sort that out so that I don't get fined tens of thousands of dollars or get jail. Yeah, you don't want to go to jail; you definitely don't want to do that. I get it; that's the… I understand… I feel is… I feel is legitimate; that's valid. That's valid. So listen, before you go… you must… and I mean you must win on TikTok over any other platform because it's the one place where I feel like you have the likelihood of getting a post that changes the course to your career. Absolutely. And I want to get into TikTok Shop when it hits Australia, so I need to build up my followers. I need you all in on that. Okay, please do me a favor: Go to garyvee.com/daily. Go to… Go to garyvee.com/attention. Yeah, it's… it's literally… honestly, I'm not even asking people to buy the new book, *Day Trading Attention*; I literally condensed it to the best of my ability to a free deck… free… I don't even… Don't even buy the $15 book; it's free. That's great. Okay, great, then use it. That's right. And I've bought the book as well. Thank you. Well…
Then, now execute, because reading about push-ups does nothing. So it sounds like you're ready, and let's get to work. And make sure your strategy is TikTok first, everything else second. Okay, it will be.
What about LinkedIn though? No, because most of my business is wholesale. I sell to grooming sales retailers.
I see. I see. Then yes. Now that I understand that it's not DPC only. Yes, that too. And really, I was wrong to say no. The answer's always yes. You should be like, "I'm just worried you're a one-woman show and can't get to everything." The answer's always yes. Yes, I am. You know, I need, I, you know, as many hours as you're willing to put into it and as many places you're willing to post. That's actually the answer to the quiz. I was being overly empathetic, which allowed me to create content on LinkedIn. Hey wholesalers, if you want to buy [ __ ] kind of content on LinkedIn, hey [ __ ] wholesalers, you want to buy clean [ __ ] so dogs aren't [ __ ] itchy, I've got the [ __ ] for you. It's me. I'm [ __ ] here. Buy my [ __ ].
You can't—I mean, you could make t-shirts and hats to like build up your brand, but like, guys, TikTok Shop is retail. Just because TikTok Shop is good, like you could go on it, but like you're not going to sell [ __ ] real estate on it. You don't need to. What are you going to give TikTok 11% of your real estate deal? Guys, when you sell on TikTok, you give up 11%. The [ __ ] are you going to do? Give up 11% of your [ __ ] real estate deal? Guys, don't force [ __ ]. TikTok Shop is for selling [ __ ]. If you don't sell [ __ ], just go live stream, go live. You don't need TikTok Shop. The end. If you don't sell [ __ ] something physical, you can make up something physical, like a hat. I just did; we sold them; they're sold out. I made a [ __ ] hat. I'm a human; I made a hat.
I think employees come in different shapes and sizes. I think jobs within your company come in different shapes and sizes. If I have a universal one when I'm interviewing, I'm looking for self-awareness and confidence. I think an insecure employee is political and [ __ ] up the culture, regardless of what she or he does. So if you're self-aware, if you know who you are and you know who you're not, you tend to be a little bit more confident as well. Um, and the more confident you are, the less you're dealing with your own insecurities and the less you're dealing with like, "Karen in accounting is ruining me," or like, "Johnny's like..." You think about—I'm looking up Team Gary—like when somebody's getting shine, are you happy for them or are you upset because you're like, "[ __ ] I'm not getting shine?" Like it's a mindset; it's life. And so that is 100% what I look for: self-awareness and, uh, and really just a general self-esteem. I would go with the double selves: self-esteem and and self-awareness turn out to be tremendous. Yeah, I don't think they're even close. Of course I do.
