The GaryVee Audio Experience

In this episode of Tea with GaryVee, I share my unfiltered philosophy on how to win in life, business, and your career. I tackle the tough job market, explaining why putting in work on free social media platforms like LinkedIn is the only way to build a portfolio that matters. We also dive deep into mindset, covering the simple path to building real confidence and the secret to resilience—knowing that the only thing that truly matters is the health of your family. You'll hear why I believe kindness is the ultimate advantage and why "nice guys finish last" is a lie.

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I hold a consultation at VaynerMedia focusing purely on tactical business talk. I dive deep into why broad, single-message marketing fails, and I offer my solution: hyper-targeting with thousands of different content pieces across text, audio, and video. I give B2B companies a roadmap for where the greatest sales opportunity lies (HR dynamics), and I explain why Facebook and Instagram ads are still drastically underpriced, regardless of your industry. I also advise entrepreneurs on how to transition their mentality from founder to executive, stressing the importance of protecting company culture by firing toxic "OGs" and committing to a private label brand.

 You’ll learn:
Why I think businesses should be running 4,000 to 8,000 pieces of content, not 12.
My specific examples of using psychographics (like a 1985 World Series reference) to drive B2B conversions.
Why I believe success is predicated on firing those who don't like change.
How to combat manufacturers going direct-to-consumer by "quadrupling down on brand."
My strategy for eliminating customer risk when selling unowned inventory (like $500k concrete pumps)
Why the ultimate failure for scaling businesses is trying to force employees to be on camera

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Aubrey Marcus to discuss confidence, happiness, and the power of accountability. We dive deep into why I believe ego is nothing more than insecurity with makeup on and why shifting your perspective is the key to happiness. I open up about my personal framework in life, which is to give more value than I take and never ask for anything in return, and how a lack of entitlement is a foundational element to my success. We also explore the cultural conversation around social media, judgment, and the pressure on young people to "figure it out."
 
Why I believe ego is insecurity, not confidence.

How to make happiness your "true north star" instead of chasing money or material possessions.
Why social media validation is a human problem and not solely a platform issue.

In this episode, I share the biggest lessons on building a sustained, growing business and a successful team, which I believe is the key to achieving your biggest ambitions. I talk about why I’ve never burnt out, how to stop chasing external validation, and the need for candor when recruiting. I explain why loving the process—the game of business, marketing, and sales—is more important than the prize. I also discuss the "barbell" future of sales, where both AI and old-school analog methods will be key.

In this episode, I sit down with Sinead Bovell from the “I’ve Got Questions” Podcast to dissect the biggest shifts coming to attention, media, and commerce. I lay out my three-part thesis on why we are at the beginning of the end of the social media era, arguing that AI is set to crack the value proposition of current platforms. We discuss how studying history has always been my secret weapon for accurately forecasting tech, from my early investment in Facebook to predicting live shopping in 2008. We dive deep into the next great distribution shift—from the phone to glasses—and the rise of a voice-first Agentic Economy that will make brand more important than ever.
