This Week in Highlights | 2/20/2017

On today's episode of the podcast Im sharing an episode of Tea with GaryVee That took place 2 years ago, but the advice is still strong. I answer questions ranging from balancing professional life with family, The power of LinkedIn, and much more! I hope you all enjoy this one!

Here’s the problem most people run into when they create content online: They think they have to have something to say. So many of you aren’t putting out content online because you think you need to have the perfect message, or something “valuable” to share (based on your own arbitrary opinion). And what I’m telling you is, you will get more business if you put out literally anything. If you’re an auto dealer, you could put out a 5 min video every afternoon just recapping what happened in your day. If you’re a real estate agent, you could post updates on what your opinions are about the Super Bowl teams. Get on social media and tell your truth … it’s really that simple.

On today's episode of the podcast Im sharing something special. With VeeCon coming up I thought I would be appropriate to share the opening Keynote from VeeCon 2023 with all of you. I sit down with my dad and brother and we chat about what we've learned from each other and we tell some fun stories as well. I hope you all enjoy this one, and be sure to get your tickets to VeeCon 2024 in LA. I will see you there!

Today's podcast is a throwback fireside talk I gave to the VaynerMedia summer residents. They asked me questions that ranged from personal to business-related. I opened up about what I consider to be my most vulnerable moment and shed some light on the early years of VaynerMedia. Additionally, we discussed the pitfalls of monetizing a brand too early and explored ways to deal with imposter syndrome. This episode is packed with valuable advice for individuals at the early stages of their careers and even those who are already established but seeking clarity. I hope you enjoy it :)

Today's podcast is an interview I did with Cody Combs on The National in Abu Dhabi. I share my thoughts on the TikTokification of social media explaining why everyone has higher chances now to go viral, the reason most people struggle to grow on social media, and much more. Hope you enjoy!

In today's episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I am sharing an episode from last year with Nilay Patel, Editor-in-chief of the Verge. We talk about following human attention, how I make decisions, and many other topics. This is a very well-rounded episode that dives deeper than just business. it's about real life and how I handle mine. I hope you all enjoy it!

In this business consulting session, Gary meets with a group of business owners and takes questions around decision making, organic reach, how to hire people and plenty of others. Gary gives a great explanation at the beginning of how he values the speed of making decisions over how accurate the decisions are and towards the end he shares what he believes is one of the biggest vulnerabilities to every business. Be sure to check the comments for the timestamps of all the interesting moments... Enjoy!

Today's Keynote In 5 is from a fireside chat Gary had with Brand Space Advisory in Singapore. He talks about the crucial role of leaders in scaling a business and how they can make their employees motivated to care about their roles.

Today's Episode of the Garyvee audio experience is a recent interview I did with Mo Islam on his show The Mo Show during my last visit to Saudi Arabia.

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? —

This is an excerpt from a conversation between Thom Bond and Reverend Dr. Michael Christie. They discuss how Needs-Based Relating (NBR) can help us navigate the inner and outer relationship challenges of family holiday celebrations, differing beliefs, masks, and more, in a Covid world.

The transformative power of writing takes center stage in this episode, as Matt and Michelle Vandepas discuss its cathartic nature. They highlight writing as a means of self-expression, whether for personal development, spiritual growth, or general self-improvement. Writing is likened to journaling or singing a song that needs to be released, providing a way to organize thoughts and gain clarity on past events or traumas. Michelle also emphasizes that writing can unlock new insights and treasures that may have been hidden within. She stresses that even if someone is not writing an entire book, simply engaging in writing and journaling can be highly beneficial.
