    A Dinner With GaryVee | VeeFriends Experiences

    enMay 18, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • Focusing on intellectual property building in Series 2Gary Vee sees value in the blockchain and is optimistic about TikTok for business growth, while adjusting to operational complexities with confidence.

      Gary Vee sees Series 2 of his projects as focusing more on intellectual property building and less on operational intensity, as compared to Series 1. He views the blockchain as a valuable tool for adding value and believes humans are capable of adjusting to any situation, like the COVID-19 pandemic. He is highly confident in the trend of TikTok for business growth and brand building, and is fully committed to his own projects without a set roadmap. Despite the challenges and operational complexities, such as managing gift codes, he remains optimistic and confident in the potential of these platforms.

    • A collector's perspective on NFTsFocus on creators, long-term vision, and practical application in NFTs. Emphasize creativity, value the artists, and use NFTs to achieve goals and live desired lifestyle.

      The speaker in this conversation is a collector who values the creators behind the projects more than the potential profit. He believes that the current market is driven by day trading and greed, with most people looking to make quick profits. However, he is confident that many people will hold onto their NFTs, like the upcoming V Friends project, for the long term. He also suggests that people should focus on using their NFTs to achieve their goals and live their desired lifestyle, rather than solely focusing on the potential financial gain. The speaker also mentions that there is potential for NFT consultancy work for businesses, especially in the early stages of the market. Overall, the speaker's perspective emphasizes the importance of creativity, long-term vision, and practical application in the world of NFTs.

    • Merit-based economics and NFTsNFTs bring merit-based economics, royalty incentives, and the potential to transform creations into valuable assets, allowing creators to monetize their long-term efforts. Understanding this technology and turning it into an asset could lead to building a multi-million dollar service business.

      NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) represent a groundbreaking opportunity for creators and consumers alike, as they bring merit-based economics and royalty incentives to the table. This merit-based system, which can be seen in platforms like Uber and eBay, has proven successful for both parties. NFTs have the potential to transform mundane creations into valuable assets, allowing creators to monetize their long-term efforts. This is an opportune moment for individuals and businesses to understand and capitalize on NFTs, as the technology is still in its infancy and holds the potential for both positive and negative outcomes. If you can grasp the utility of NFTs and turn it into an asset, you could potentially build a multi-million dollar service business. It's essential to recognize that this technology transcends demographics and is shaped by individual perspectives. As the world continues to evolve and new platforms emerge, it's crucial to adapt and understand the distribution of content across various mediums.

    • Navigating the digital landscape: Understanding human psychology and consumer behaviorLearn to adapt and evolve in the digital world by understanding human psychology and consumer behavior, as demonstrated by Elon Musk's success in navigating the noise and focusing on the audience.

      The digital landscape has undergone significant changes over the years, transforming from a professional network for older demographics like LinkedIn to a more youthful and dynamic platform like TikTok. This shift in demographics and culture has required businesses and individuals to adapt and evolve in order to stay relevant. Elon Musk, an inventor and entrepreneur, is a fascinating figure who embodies the ability to understand human psychology and consumer behavior, even if his approach to conflict and communication differs greatly from some individuals. Despite not knowing Musk personally, his ability to navigate the noise and focus on the audience is a valuable lesson for anyone looking to succeed in today's fast-paced digital world.

    • VeeFriends: A Platform for Connection and CommunityGary Vaynerchuk's latest project, VeeFriends, is a platform for connection and community, with upcoming releases of access tokens and events including video games and bubble hockey.

      Gary Vaynerchuk is deeply committed to his project, VeeFriends, which he views as a significant accomplishment and a game-changer. He sees it as a platform for connection and community, and he's excited about the upcoming release of the VeeFriends access tokens and associated events, such as video games and bubble hockey. Vaynerchuk's passion for the project is evident in his frequent mentions of it and his enthusiasm for its potential. He also appreciates the support of his team and friends, expressing gratitude and affection towards them. Overall, VeeFriends represents a meaningful and exciting venture for Vaynerchuk, and he looks forward to sharing it with others.

    5 Core Pieces of Value to Get You to Succeed

    5 Core Pieces of Value to Get You to Succeed

    There are so many people racing to earn more money than they can even spend even if they have to sacrifice their happiness and livelihood to do so. The really disturbing part about this is that most of these people only want the money so they can be flashy and show off their overly expensive cars (that they don't even want) and other dumb things to other people. Happiness needs to be the Northstar that we strive towards. If we aren't aiming to be happy, then is it really worth having more money than you can spend and more cars than you can drive? —
