The GaryVee Audio Experience

#QOTD: Where are your parents from?  #LINKS:  https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/what-y... The robots are not taking over the world in five years. Not even close. Maybe in fifty-five years, but that's so far away that I can't even wrap my head around it. BUT, if the robots take over, I've gotta be really dead honest with you: I'm not worried about the productivity, because I'm scared shitless than the...

Published on Feb 23, 2015 #QOTD: I need a state of the union from you guys on the show. How are you feeling about it? What do you want to see from me? I’d also like a little banter. Accepted topics are the following: the Oscars, my Monday morning video, or being sick.  #LINKS MONDAY VIDEO:  https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=...

#QOTD: What are you focusing on the MOST right now? #SIDE QOTD: What do you want from me, AGV wise? :) #LINKS Submit a question!  https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/what-y... Is there a risk in giving away your best work for free? Of course. Giving away awesome work for free has been my gateway drug to so many great opportunities. But best work needs to be defined for the category you're in. I'm blown...

#QOTD: What's YOUR spirit animal? #TIMESTAMPS 0:49 - If you’re not from an English speaking country, should you produce content in English to reach a higher number of people, or should you produce content in the native language of your country? 1:42 - Trader Joe’s has a cult like following with no social media presences. What are your thoughts? 2:34 - My little sister has Insta and Snapchat but ha...

#QOTD: What question would you really like to ask me based on Steve's last question that you've never asked me? Meaning: can you come up with an interesting question for me? #LINKS Submit a question: https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/what-youll-need-to-get-garyvee-945936926.html   All of my strategy is completely intuition.

I've talked about not being crippled by hiring anybody, because if they aren't good you can just fire them. But for the first 15 years of my career I was not good with this. I h...

It baffles me to see how many people think they are bigger than they actually are. People will ask me questions like "How do I get into the New York Times?" or "How do I get a meeting with that CEO?" My reply? One is better than zero. You need to be thinking about the steps it takes to actually get to the biggest places in the world. Before you get that meeting with Zuckerberg or Mark Cuban, or wh...

#QOTD: Where Are You Consuming The AskGaryVee Show? iPhone? IPad? Tv? or Computer? Where?  If you're looking to try and sell ads on your Instagram account, first up you need the followers - the scale - to support bringing in real money. You need to spend the next 6-12 months actively acquiring new users. Then the answer is YES. It's totally fine to be making an ad once every 7 Instagram videos (re...

#QOTD: Rank these four platforms in order of YOUR preference: Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram. Last night, I started using Twitter's new video reply feature. That platform is playing a lot more with video. When I first started putting out content in 2006, it was video because that felt most natural to me. The best way I could communicate. But it was hard for me to execute on it. In 2007...

#QOTD: Which historic figure would you like to have dinner with? ;) #TIMESTAMPS 01:23  - In episode 63, you say you watch and can tell if people are hustling. How do you tell? Engagement, frequency, or gut?  07:00  - What are your thoughts on the marketing opportunities in the new app Yik Yak?  09:33  - We spend all of our time pouring our creativity into projects for our clients so that when it’s...

#QOTD: New York is about to get CRUSHED by a blizzard, so I want to hear about your favorite memory from a snow day. Social Media is the plumbing to the word of mouth in our society. If you make a great product and you can get people to taste it, both literally and metaphorically, then there's a tremendous opportunity for your name to spread on its own. There are tons of brands that don't spend on...

#QOTD Part 1: Give me your feedback, are you excited about instagram bringing a visual element to the show?  Part 2: Are you going to submit a question via instagram?  If you are building a consumer facing business, like a restaurant for example, then a franchise is a great thing to do. But, something to ask is—are you trying to franchise your name? A lot of people have tried to franchise me. Yeah...

#QOTD: What is your favorite morning beverage?  I think that "hustle" is something that you're born with. Let me explain. Work ethic is definitely a trait people are born with but ultimately I think that the hustle meter is fundamentally affected by who the work you're doing is for. Sure, if you work for yourself, it's really easy to give yourself that high grade hustle. However, if you work for s...

#STATEMENTOFTHEDAY: I want you guys to reach out to one person that you haven't spoken to in over a year. I'm serious. And for you over-achievers, try and think of somebody you haven't spoken to in more than 5 years and give them a call. I want you to comment and let me know who that person is and what happened when you hit them up. You'll thank me later :) The brilliance of this show (#humblebrag...

#QOTD: Can I get your wine business? YES? NO? #QOTD2: What are you looking forward to in 2015? The best way to push employees above their own means is to guilt them into it.  Everybody is driven by things, so first and foremost, you need to use your ears and listen. You need to sit down with your employees and understand where they want to take their careers. What’s their ambition? By sitting down...

#QOTD: How much do you hate DRock? The middle is the commoditized work that everybody does. What I mean by this is that everybody winds up doing what the market calls for. They're focusing on what's popular in the moment and not focusing on where the market's going. I can't tell you how many times I get pitched by startups doing the same thing everyone else is doing and singing the same old song....

#QOTD: What's your Instagram handle? Look, when VaynerMedia was in its earlier days, our website was garbage. It almost looked as if we were going out of business and I know that. That's on me. At that point in time I didn't think we needed to showcase the work we were doing, or the clients we working on, or any accolades we could have showed off. We just needed to focus.  The point here is that e...

#QOTD: Where do you watch or listen to the #AskGaryVee Show? I think that Instagram and Twitter are tremendously different. Look, Twitter is the town hall, the cocktail party of the social world. When things happen in the world and there’s breaking news, we’re running to Twitter not Instagram – we want the chatter, not the images. However, I do believe that Instagram has found a way (at least up t...

#QOTD: How old are you? Check out my new video channel on 5by! http://5by.com/garyvee There is zero doubt in my mind that I can run ANY company. I'm a reverse engineer, through and through. Heck, I don't know anything about 99% of the businesses out there, but I believe that it would take me only about 6 months to absorb the information - the data, the numbers, the culture, etc. - and reverse engi...

**Listen Up: Ashton Kutcher's on this one!!** Enjoy :) #QOTD: Which social network are you hottest on RIGHT now? Agencies in the market for awards is nonsense. I've been talking about this for a while in the halls of this world and within our industry. At the end of the day, these agencies are being hired to do work for THEIR CLIENTS, not for themselves. They're being hired to tell a story on beha...

**WARNING: DO NOT end this episode early. Stay tuned 'til the last second. You won't regret it.** Hint for you podcast listeners: ASHTON KUTCHER #QOTD: Give me some feedback on the new settings of the show.
