The Garyvee Audio Experience

This week was one for the books. Between the NFL draft, John Legend and NBA star Mason Plumlee stopping by #AGV to chat about life and branding in the NBA, it just kept coming. Stay patient and confident my friends. Hope you all enjoy this week's recap. See you next week ;)

NBA star Mason Plumlee co-hosts this episode of #AGV with me and boy was it FIRE. Moving through 3 teams in 4 years, Mason touches on what diving into social media as a pro athlete is like and defends the common misconceptions of the big leagues. Such a solid dude which made for one of the all-time episodes. ENJOY ;)

Stop living in the SHORT TERM and think of what’s on the table further out. I can’t say this enough. If you want to be successful, it doesn’t matter what happens TOMORROW or NEXT WEEK. Think about what you need to happen to get you to where you want to be in 20 years and build towards that. -- ENJOY!!

This talk at USC is not only one of my most popular talks but it's one of my FAVORITES and it gets me SO HYPED. This one was interesting because I was speaking to an entrepreneurship class and I just don't think you can learn to be an entrepreneur which makes for an interesting dynamic ;) To be successful you need to be adapting but stay loyal to your strengths.  If you’re a true entrepreneur you understand the importance of taking your idea and running with it — there's no time to waste. You never know what tomorrow will bring and timing is massively important. These lessons don’t stop, no matter what stage of your career you're in.  Macro-patience vs. Micro-speed is everything. Don't dwell on your mistakes and just keep moving forward. Give this one a listen because you do not want to miss it.

This year’s SXSW was a HUGE one for me .. can’t believe it’s been 10 years already. Loved talking about the value of attention & why you NEED to stop listening to the negative people around you. The pressure is on for young entrepreneurs, but I truly believe this is the best time to be alive and going after whatever it is you want to. You never know what you’re going to get at a talk like this but because it was in Q&A format, you know I brought some FIRE. Make sure to tune in!

On this episode of #AskGaryVee, the LEGEND and Grammy Award winner John Legend stops by to talk “all of him”. We take calls about how the music industry is changing to a self-publishing world, diversifying into young markets, staying humble as an industry leader and defining expectations of others. SO much fun hanging out and having John on the show. Such an incredible guy. Hope you guys enjoy !!

Here's an interview with my homie Andy Frisella from about a year or so back. This guy brings some serious energy and we had a great chat alongside some of his boys from the way. He's the absolute model for what it means to 'Crush It' as he went out and built a massive business off the back of grit, patience, passion, and some smart branding. This one isn't for the faint of heart. Time to tune in and get fired up !!   

Another GREAT week in the books. From VaynerSports signing all-star wide receiver Braxton Miller, to a rant of mine that went viral, to #AGV with my main man and MissionU founder Adam Braun, to another week in the life of the CEO of VaynerMedia, we put some serious work in. Hope you guys enjoy this version of this week's highlights !!    

The other day while out in Austin I just got triggered. Something came over me and I needed to address it. I just can’t fathom the idea that people are listening to the negative that others are throwing their way. GUYS - we only have one shot at this. Why are we letting the poison that lives in others affect our lives? QUIT ALLOWING OTHER PEOPLE TO HINDER THE WAY YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE!!

On this episode one of my favorite humans of all-time, Adam Braun, co-hosts the showwwwwwwww with me. If you don't know, Adam is the founder of Pencils of Promise, a non-profit that's near and dear to my heart. Now he's on new "mission" with MissionU, bringing a new age thought to how we approach higher education. Such an important episode for so many reasons. Hope you guys enjoy!! 

Absolutely love this podcast !! What they've built is incredible and I'm so proud of my man Jordan and where he's come. This was from the #AGV book tour and boy did I BRING it. In this one we cover knowing when to give up, why I continue to write books, Plan A vs. Plan B, the DNA of being an entrepreneur, and so much more. Love, love, love this one - Hope you guys enjoy! http://theartofcharm.com/podcast-episodes/gary-vaynerchuk-askgaryvee-episode-494/    

Doesn't get better than this. Here's a clip from a 2009 interview where we discuss the power of personal branding, the future of media, and how technology was going to shape our lives. This is why I love documenting so much because it's incredibly fascinating to see how things play out years after. Crazy to listen to all the things that were discussed in this interview and see how they actually played. Hope you guys enjoy !! 

GUYS. This is it. This one is so incredibly important I had to share it here first. The video will be launching after this but please, take a listen and then check out the video when it goes live. So many of you are crippled by the thought of starting and I hope that this podcast and its video alleviate any concerns you have. This is the framework and I hope you guys pay attention .. Can't wait to hear what you think !! 

Absolutely love this guy. Not only does he have an incredible story but he's an incredible guy and I'm so happy that we got the chance to connect. This interview is from 2016 and it was the first time we jammed together. In this one we cover my mindset behind starting DailyVee (super interesting to hear what I was saying then and where it's come), the methods and mindset behind my content team's engine, and the connections between living a healthy lifestyle and being a successful professional. Hope you guys enjoy this one !!  http://www.richroll.com/category/podcast/

I might have different tactics when it comes to sales but don't get it twisted because I'm a salesman through and through. Sales can be interpreted as a dirty word to a lot of people but at the end of the day, a business isn't a business without them. Since I've been a kid I've been in sales, and yes, I might like look a little different than what many people think of when they think 'salesman' but that doesn't mean I'm any different which is why I love doing events like this especially with a company as notable as Salesforce. So much fun in this one and hope you guys enjoy .. especially all my people in sales out there ;) 

Absolutely love being on this show the other day. Not only is Pat McAfee an extremely successful and retired, All-Pro NFL player, but he's found a way to hack culture and build a name for himself outside of his football career. On this one we cover all things social, building the foundation of a brand, and what it takes to get things to the next level when you're in the content game. This one was an absolute blast. Hope you guys enjoy and make sure to into Pat's show !! http://www.podcastone.com/the-pat-mcafee-show  

No matter what it is in life you'll never know what can happen until you ask. I made this clip exclusively for my VIP newsletter but I thought it was important to share with everyone here ... but while we're at it, make sure to sign up for my newsletter for exclusive content, giveaways, and more (garyvee.com/GARYVIP) if you haven't yet ;) Hope you guys enjoy this sound bite. It's massively important for any of you trying to figure out how to leverage your business community to build something great. Let me know what you think !! 

Absolutely loved meeting my man Kyle and his team this past week. It was the first time we got to jam but boy did we hit if off. Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for him because his future is to no end. In this one we chat marketing, the music industry, and I just might have given him the keys to unlocking his next biggest song ; ) Tune in and let me know what you think !! 

As some of you guys might know, over the last year I’ve been filming Apple’s new show ‘Planet of the Apps’ alongside Will.I.Am, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jessica Alba. We wrapped up filming a few months ago but Jessica was kind enough to stop by the VaynerMedia offices last week for a fireside chat and it was such an honor to have her in our office. Check this one out to hear her story, her mindset behind building her massive business, our time on Planet of the Apps together, and more .. Enjoy ;)

One of my all-time favorites for a number of reasons. In this one we go real deep in this one covering Amazon's Alexa, Snapchat becoming a brand, Apple vs. Facebook, Twitter being the next Myspace, and of course, my love for Hip Hop. Had so much fun with this interview. Make sure to check it out !!
