be four teachers this year I you know
you know I’m cynical and tough on the traditional education system in the USO
I would say that a goal for teacher this year would be to find one to three
students that are clearly not predisposition to be successful in the
machine that is the education system you know the one that’s been built you know
78 years ago and is being crammed down our society’s throats here as the world
is fundamentally shifted cool so teachers playing within the rules of the
game that you play like all of us I do it you know I’m a wild entrepreneur you
know we all do it we all play in the confines of the rules that we set for
ourselves try to find more than three of those
kids and it’s not going through the cliche things like worrying about you
know hitting the market within the game or
medication all the other stuff that is being pounded me take a step back and
open up your eyes pushing for watching the show and you’re seeing this advice
line right if you’re watching more than to these episodes you’ve gotten through
the stuff that I’m throwin and you’re catching and vice versa and so we’re trying to find the one to
three of the kids that look like me they look like so many of the other people
that couldn’t win those dynamics but are so we’re so lucky and so many other ways
to win in the actual world that we live in and try to give a boost try to me
that teacher I wish I could sit here besides senior Kennedy my Spanish
teacher in high school I would sit here and read aloud two or three teachers
that set that saw me for me I could give them down right now so yeah
you’re right I was gonna be ok be that teacher for those 123 students
so that they can and seven to 12 15 20 to 49 years from now say missus Boston
she was the one that new 143 it that I wasn’t me for that but that I would be
special at my part for my singing for my pitching a nice telling you that Joe
asked do you think a company staff by fifty of your clothes will be less or
more successful entertainer media I love

“today and didn’t have your family business “how would you handle the job market?” – Natalie thank you so much. Big shout out to
everybody who’s out in LA. That was a really phenomenal
night for me as well. A lot of peeps came out, I appreciate it. Well, first of all, I wouldn’t
attack the job market, because even at the age of nine or ten, long before I even realized
my parents had a liquor store as my dad managed that store and was buying into a business I was already slinging, as
you heard in episode 118, you know blue curtains and alarm clocks. And clearly you’ve heard
the stories of lemonade and baseball cards. There is no attacking the
job market from my DNA because I would try to start a business especially right now. I would completely take
advantage of the fact that there is an enormous
amount of dumb money trying to become
investors in start-ups. Meaning, unlike the
generation where I became an angel investor in
2009, 2008, 2010, 2011. Right now every dentist,
every real estate agent, every trust fund baby in
their thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties anybody who had a good
career on Wall Street is now an investor looking
for their Mark Zuckerberg. I would take advantage of that. I would network. I assume if I was in college
I would ask professors. I would ask friends and family. I would just ask. I think when you’re at the bottom, asking is quite important. And so I would ask for at bats, try to network. I would use the incredible
tool that is known as Twitter and I would be replying
to people that I aspire to get in touch with. I don’t, you know it’s funny
to me to see the people that give up after asking to meet with me for a few minutes, after three or four nos. And I know that I’m inducing
now a ton of Twitter chatter to meet with me. And I hope you saw the
video I made for myself, the advice I’ve given myself. DRock, give them a two second clip. I need to get my shit together so I apologize I’m letting you down. But the truth is I need
to heed to this advice I’m giving myself. You know, so I won’t see you but I would have saw you six months ago and Cuban, or Jack Welsh,
or Zucks, or Elon Musk, you just never know when they’ll
actually sit down with you. And then there’s a
million people that maybe you don’t know who’ve been successful, who’ve got leverage, who’ve got money. And so I would attack the
reality of the marketplace. And the reality of the
marketplace right this second is tons of cash, looking
for young people with ideas. I think it’s a broken bubble. I think that gets exposed. I think 99% of people
are not going to deliver on that investment. I think I’d be one of the 1% that would deliver on that investment. So I’d be looking for while in college and like I did in college instead of looking to
hook-up and do keg stands I’d be looking for business partners and business opportunities. I think for anybody else
that is not wired like me which I think is a far majority
of this show’s audience I would tell you this piece of advice. If you were 22 years old, if you were the amount of people that settle for the first paying job versus living with 19 friends on the floor and eating 99 cent meals blows my mind in lieu of trying to get your dream job versus what you’ve settled for. Please from 22 to 24 don’t settle. Go for your dream job. Pound for it. And if you can’t get
into VaynerMedia (ping) then go for the second
best, or third best, or fourth best on your list. Please start with the
moon and go backwards. The amount of you that start at a hilltop and just settle there
is an enormous mistake because 22 to 24 is when you should live really, really humble, ghetto, dirt. Like that’s it,
that’s the time. To settle in in the
middle only lends itself to so much upside. So aspire for as high as you possibly can and be patient. it sucks not having a job in September when all your friends do. Or your friends that were
juniors the year before are going back to school
and the pressure is on and maybe your parents don’t
like that you don’t have a job but that’s exactly when you
should be buying random stuff at Goodwill and selling it
on eBay to pay your $80.00 worth of rent because you
have 94 roommates in a studio. That’s it, get dirty. Cause, and I know a paused there, cause getting dirty is the price to having what you want. The dramatic misunderstanding that amazing things come with a price. A lot of people talk about rich kids. I really negatively look at rich kids because I look negatively at my kids because they’re about to be rich kids. That’s just real. Sorry Xander and Misha, eat it. But you know what comes with the price of being a rich kid? People completely do,
you’ve basically lost in the game of winners. You’ve basically from day
one you were born into money. You actually aren’t
good, you were handed it. You suck.
That’s it, you’ve lost. That’s the price that comes along with it. And take it from somebody
who cried everyday because his dad had a
small family business and I was petrified because
I knew I had the talent that everybody would say
things were handed to me. Cried everyday with my mom on the phone I’m not coming into the family business even though I could help it, even though I want to, I don’t. Because then everybody is going to say, that it was handed to me. In the scheme of things I was an idiot I didn’t realize how
small it was to the world. But everything’s got a price. Everything’s got a price. You’re beautiful?! LIfe is much better when you’re beautiful. That’s what we all say.
I agree with that. But, more realistically, you
get completely disrespected. You get disrespected. You can’t be smart, you can’t be good, you’re just too beautiful. I’m serious. I’m really tired of people
thinking everybody’s got it better. Everybody has advantages. You know what the
advantages of being ghetto and on welfare and being
nothing and having nothing being a child of a homeless parent. You know what the advantage is? You’re (bleep) angry. You’ve got a ridiculous
chip on your shoulder. You want to stick it to everybody. All of ’em. Use what you’ve got.
Use what you’ve got.

and then you get to fire away my friend. – My name is Dave Zhang
@drzhang on Twitter. – (mumbles) nice!
– Might as well do it. – Don’t worry Zhang, if you watch the show
it actually pops up here it’s gonna get linked up.
– [Zhang] Ding! – Yeah exactly. (group laughs) – My question for you Gary is 10 years from now, – 10 years from now. – what industry will be going
through the most disruption? So what is it going to be like in the media industry 10 years from now? – So, 10 years from now, so first of all, and I
like to say this a lot, I don’t think I’m Nostradamus. I don’t like to predict. I will tell you this, I’m gonna take your question
in a different place because I don’t really,
I mean, all of them, which is really where
I’m gonna go with this. I think that Uber, Airbnb, you know, these companies that are
really disrupting markets. Like the hotel industry is
really disrupted by Airbnb. If you’re in the limo business, your shit’s in trouble
because of Uber, right? So, these companies I think most of us, most
of the people watching think that these are anomalies, right? We call them unicorns
in the tech, VC world. And I think people think
they’re so special. I actually think they’re the preview. I think that every single company that is in existence today, that is not 100% software
technology based first, is massively vulnerable. And I think 10 years might
be a little bit too early but if you told me 20, 30 years from now, like E-com I think is much
smaller than people realize it only represents 12-13% of all commerce transactions in the U.S. That means it has, oh I
don’t know, 88% to go, right? So I think there’s a lot of industries, I think on-demand dynamics, right? Like laundromats are I think in deep shit because I think I’m gonna press a button and somebody’s gonna do my laundry. You look at what Shyp is doing
and picking up people’s stuff and shipping it for them,
which I think bodes poorly for the FedEx store. I think you can really
kind of go on anything that hasn’t been disrupted by technology really going that route. And so, I think the last 10 years so much has happened, right? This didn’t exist 10 years ago. This literally didn’t exist 10 years ago. I think the next 10 years will stun people and I think people are
grossly misunderstanding the exponential growth of
technology and software eating up our society
and breaking the norms that we’re just accustomed to. I’d also throw one other thing, I think higher education I
think is stunningly vulnerable. And I don’t think it will
be disrupted in 10 years but obviously we talked
about this in a prior show, I think once the parents stop caring that their kids go to Harvard and Yale, which I think is only one
or two generations, again, I think education is an
interesting place to look at. – Great, thank you, thanks.
– Nice shirt, man. – Cool man, let’s go!

“to speak in front of an auditorium full “of elementary schoolers,
what would be your topic “of choice and why?” – My topic of choice, so first of all if I was in a room full of
elementary school students, like I was once ever in my
career which was in Houston in a tremendous conference that I went to where it was the best students
from elementary school of all of Houston and I
cursed up a storm and I talked about like all sorts of crap. I remember I tried to connect with them so I was using like random hip
hop artists that were popping at the time and the teachers
were literally flabbergasted and completely pissed off and the kids were completely pumped. And like these were like
the greatest students of like seventh and eighth
grade in all of Houston and like a third of the class
quit school in seventh grade when I was done with the talk. Because what I really talked
to them about was real life which is look you’re a great student, you’re goin’ down a
certain path right now. Bad news, education in
America is screwing you over. You’re gonna pop out and
you’re gonna realize holy crap I don’t wanna do this or this
and that and then I talked about the virtues of good schooling. Which is the randomness of
having a college roommate that’s a billionaire and some
of the other random stuff. But you know it was a tremendous talk. My choice of topic today,
if I was to do it today, would be you know I would tell them to really recognize how to build self-esteem and self-awareness. I would pound that and I would say look, you’re looking at me and
I’m an old dude up here and I’m cliche just like all
your other teachers and parents but you need to find the
things that you’re good at and really find the friends
that you’re looking for and you know you hear it a million times that you’re not gonna look back and care about the dumb shit
that you care about now but you don’t believe me,
but that’s not gonna stop me from trying to pound it down
you’re little f- throat.

– [Voiceover] Andrew wants to know, “Do you see skill sharing
and teaching people skills “as an alternative to education “coming up in the sharing economy?” – Andrew, I do. Very simply, the answer is yes. Very simply, I believe the Internet is gonna squeeze everything in the middle that doesn’t provide value out of business over a 100-year period, and so everything’s in the middle, really, between you and a thing, and the education system is in the middle between you and actually having the
next chapter of your life in play monetizing, if
you really think about it. At its grand scheme, you go to school, in theory, historically, the
way it’s been thought of, to set you up, to monetize your thing. I mean, as we know, so many people go through the schooling and then realize they don’t wanna be a lawyer or a doctor or whatever they’ve been learning to do, and they reset and they
go into the open market. I think that that needs
to be thought about. I think that really needs
to be thought about, and we’ve never lived in a time where, guys, at 30 years old, I began the first seed of thought that I should speak to
the world about something. That happened to be wine at the time. I mean, there wasn’t things
like this podcast, this show, or the billions of pieces of content that live now, that educate people at a level that we’ve never seen before. If there is anyone, if there is anyone that believes that unionized human beings and old textbooks can outperform education
of information and thinking to the vast majority of human
society and the Internet, then you are a lost human being. Lost. With a capital L. And so now what needs to happen is, some organization. Look, I actually believe
the following statement. I actually believe one
of the singular reasons that universities are in play is the romantic point of view that the parents of our current generation view on the institution, and I truly believe it’s going to take only two more generations. Not necessarily mine, but my kids have no prayer of valuing
Harvard and Stanford and a community college to the level it’s valued by my parents. No shot in hell, I’m putting it, and I don’t like to predict, but I’m putting it right here on film. Big ups to my little grandchildren that are watching this
now, 50 years from now. (all laughing)
Hey, little Sarah. I love you. And, you know. Actually, Sarah’s gonna
be so out of date by then. Hey, Zeruca, big fan. Hope we’re watching this together. So I think that, you know, the skill shares, the Khan Academies, the endless content on YouTube, the podcasts, the tremendous impact that all the content that’s living right now is
having on the younger generation and how they will think that they, right now we have 15-year-olds that think their two
cents on every thought are public domain, that they need to add their two cents. What do you think when
they become educated through school and not school, what they’re gonna share and how? It’s just gonna be so much information. Plus, our system right
now is so predicated on teaching our kids to memorize something and then regurgitate it
a couple of weeks later, in a world where all that information is at their fingertips. Nobody gives a shit who the 18th President of the United States is, or what’s the warmest planet. I can tell you in one
fucking second, you idiots.

So I audited myself, and I’m
taking in serious consideration that I just might be a two or a three. My question is, man, is if I am, do I need to go get my college degree? Like what, how do I put
myself in that position? Because I really don’t know how to, I only know how to make doors. I don’t know how to walk through them, if you know what I mean, and ya know I’m all EQ and no IQ, so if
I have to go get my degree, that’s gonna suck. – Charlie, great question. I’m super into this. I think if you’ve audited yourself and you feel like, ya know, you need to have, you
need to attach yourself to a leader, a CEO, a
number one, a founder, and you can be a supporting cast member because I guess making doors
not walking through them maybe you, I don’t know, but maybe you understand
the tangible execution, not the architecture. Maybe you’re the greatest
mason in the world, and you need just a really solid
architect to be successful. I would say it has nothing
to do with getting a diploma. It has everything to do with if you’ve been auditing yourself, and you started with,
“I’ve audited myself,” which I appreciate, and you know, for anybody who’s watching this who doesn’t understand auditing themselves and I’m a number two or three, these are themes that
I’ve been talking about in the first 105, 106 episodes of the show which is if you know yourself,
you have self-awareness, you have a real chance to succeed. I would tell you, Charlie,
that you don’t need to get a degree unless
you wanna go latch up to a number one that values that degree, and the truth is you’ve
already lost that game because if that number one values it, they’re gonna wanna go with
somebody who’s got a degree from clearly, in my opinion,
based on the vibe of the video, comes from a better school
than you would go to. Take it from me, I mean
Mount Ida College isn’t like rolling up any like
unbelievable excitement for anybody who’s an educator. And so I would tell you your journey, your focus should be finding a number one who shares your DNA and philosophy. You guys can be similar, and
she could just be an architect and an incredibly strong leader, where you could be that support system. So find her, find him, find the number one that is the match to you. Not find the number one
that you clearly think society has created. To me, more number ones
actually look like you on paper, so I actually think you’ll
be able to find that. I think number twos, when
they’re not the straight man or the straight woman,
when there’s still also a little bit of magic,
a little EQ over IQ, make great number twos. I still think one and two
in that play is great. I think three, four, five,
six, somewhere along the line, you need that straight,
really straight person, and so your job is to really go out and find that person. Find that number one that
matches your skill set, that matches your philosophy,
that you can really jam with. Find your number one.

“about Facebook dark post. “Yeah, I know I’m a little
late but there is tons of info “about dark post on YouTube. “There are also people
selling dark post courses. “Would you pay for a course “or use all the free info on YouTube?” – Anthony, I would not pay for a course. I would use all the information
on YouTube and other places. I’m sure there’s a ton of
white papers and SlideShares and if you use that thing called Google, you can find more stuff. Dark posts are not that complicated because you just need (laughs) The usage of dark post
is not that complicated. Is dribbling and shooting
a basketball complicated? No. Is using a screwdriver complicated? No. You can learn those things. Being great at them is
a whole different thing. The way to be successful
in dark post on Facebook is to understand the
psychology and salesmanship it takes to create a
narrative to the end consumer that you target that
predicates an action for them to purchase something
that you want to happen. That’s hard. That’s hard. That’s analyzing data. Interpreting it. Then deploying it with creative call to
actions that are the variable of the success to it against the right demo, at the right time, in the right vehicle, around the right psychology. That’s hard. Understanding how to make
an ad happen on Facebook is not hard, everybody can do that. That should take you 20 minutes, two hours or four hours, depending on how you
learn to figure that out. It’s, are you good enough
to then make it happen. So, no do not pay for a course because you’ll get that
information for free. What you should do is get educated on being at the bigger picture at hand. Which is the craft of
the usage of the tool, not the tool itself. – [Voiceover] Dr. Laurie asks, ?Do you ever have dreams at
night about your business?”

– [Voiceover] Joe asks,
“What advice would you give “a high school senior in America “trying to decide
whether to go to college, “and if so, which one?” – Joe I’m gonna let
Casey answer this first, just cause I think it’d be fun to have you start off the show. – Yeah no, I’ve got a strong feeling about further education, which is that I think in life you should
only be doing two things ever, and one is like discovering
what your passion is, and then two is realizing it. So Joe, if you know what you want to do, and you’re convicted that’s
where you want to be in life, and that trajectory does not necessitate a college education, then skip it. Chances are you don’t
know what you want to do, otherwise you wouldn’t be
asking us this question, and if you don’t know what you want to do your responsibility is to figure that out, and college is one of the best places, one of the best atmospheres, environments you can be in to figure out
what your calling is in life, to figure out what your passion
is, what your purpose is. – Joe, I’m gonna jump in here, as the cars are racing outside, and say this, I agree with
a ton of what Casey said, I’ll also add that if you’re
taking $200,000 in debt to find your passion, that
might be a practical kind of, by the way, debt that you can’t even declare bankruptcy
against, which complete, I mean, I can’t even, I’m suffocated by the game, the AK racket
that is student loans, and today in today’s environment, things that you and I didn’t have. There are other places where
young people congregate, and pound into each
other in the serendipity of finding those mentors,
or contemporaries that allow people to discover. So look, I think one thing for sure, it’s fun, entrepreneur, I look at you as an entrepreneurial
artist, but I look at you way more artistic than I me. So, call it entrepreneur, artist, boy there’s a lot of
rationale in the 2015 world where college is not the right answer, and I think, you know what’s
really been unique to me, Joe, is I’m gonna give you a weird answer. I acctually find that there’s
an enormous amount of kids, and I’m spending a lot
of time on this topic since I was a shit student, and have made something of myself, that a lot of kids are still just going to college, just making that decision on not wanting to disappoint their
parents, and that to me is maybe the most
fascinating thing goin’ on is that father of five and a two year old living on the Upper East Side
with elite private schools where I’m paying college tuition
for kindergarten already, it’s been funny to me,
cause I’m really poking and prodding the parents that are my new contemporaries to
see how much pressure, and they have not switched yet. The reason I keep talking about college in a world where a lot of my
friends talk about its demise as more of a 20 year
thing than a 10 year thing is cause I still think
parents of my generation still value it too much
for their own self esteem. They want to say their
kids went to Stanford, and Harvard, and things of that nature. So look, you’ve got to
make your own decision, but I’m with you, like discovering it, and then I’d be curious, now
I’m like mixing up the show, what do you think about
this based on your answer. Because your answer is my answer, and there’s one other part
that I’m trying to figure out. I’m a big fan of practicality. I think you and I got lucky that not only were we able to figure out our passion, but we actually had some
level of talent within it. There’s a lot of people,
a lot of the people that go and try out for American Idol, or the wannabe NBA players. What’s your point of view on Joe figuring out his passion is to paint, but he sucks shit at it? – Well, you know, I think that anyone’s life, your world always shrinks and expands in proportion
to your willingness to take risk, or try new things. And that’s why I think that
like an academic environment is a great place for trying new things and experimenting with new things. So, if your passion is painting, and you’re a terrible painter, then maybe being in an
environment like college will open your eyes to
something like graphic design which doesn’t involve a paint brush, but you can make a great living at it, and you’re realizing an artistic passion that is certainly inline with painting. – Do you think that then one needs to be challenged to make sure they go into the funnel of college to recognize they’re not there to check those boxes? Because the way you play the game actually has as much to
do with the game, right. If you hack college in the way
that you’re talking about it, you know, now you’re
starting to think about, you know, course selection,
you’re talking about the kind of group of friends
that you’re spending time with. – Yeah, but I think college is, can be a total waste of time and money if not approached carefully,
and I think a lot of kids today go there for a lot of the wrong reasons like what you’re suggesting,
and certainly if there are better, other opportunities that feel better to you than college, I think now today, those
opportunities are… – Way more practical. – Are as practical as
an academic education. I can tell you that a big falsehood is that by going to college,
you will get something else. You will find success. And one thing that’s
becoming more and more true, especially as technology is opening up all new means of
transmission of information, is that if there were a
defined path to success, especially in any sort
of creative endeavor, everyone would just
follow that defined path. There is no defined path. And college can be a great way to help you find one of those paths, but it is certainly not the only way, and it’s certainly not a guarantee that you’ll find that trajectory. – Yep, let’s move on.

Morale in public education is low. How can I as a teacher help to create a Thank You Economy Culture
despite government mandates, ineffective curriculum, low funding, and most of all, high stress
and pressure on teachers?” – Melissa, you can’t. The machine is too big, it’s too broken, and what you can do as an individual I think is do what I do
with the #AskGaryVee show which is I think I’m doing education here. You can put out great
content to the universe using the platforms that can reach people, and so trying to change an entire machine is extremely difficult. I, with all my charisma and energy and clout, can’t move big corporate 500 organizations. You wanna move the entire
US academic infrastructure. It’s not gonna happen. I’m sorry that I’m being realistic here. It’s not gonna happen. What you can do though is there’s something an
individual can always do. They can play in the places that are the white space. The white space right
now is for you to put out curriculum on your own, to the world in a format like this, or whatever. You wanna make slideshares, great. You wanna do Khan Academy stuff, great. You wanna do slideshare, great. You need to work around
the system, not within it.

– [Voiceover] BlueArcher
ask, “If you could create “or teach your own college
or high school course, “what would the name of the class be “and how would you teach it?” – (laughs) This is a great question. First of all, this is really fun, like I thought all the Instagram photos are just gonna be somebody
holding up a sign, like the rules, I didn’t realize so many people, like that little jab
on the rules, I didn’t, by the way, VaynerNation, you
are not following the rules, like the whole, like, sign
thing is not happening, but let’s do it one more time. Here’s how you get your answer, but obviously ’cause some of you are getting through with
your non-following the rules, the answer is you guys are
all gonna continue to do this, but the whole, like,
imposing me into the photo is phenomenal, didn’t see that coming. Good job with you guys. My course would be called (laughs) Oh my god, this is such a funny thing. I mean, my course would
literally be called “Why You Shouldn’t Have Signed Up “for this Course in the First Place, “taught by Gary Vaynerchuk.” and it would talk about the disconnect between where school is and where the real world is right now, how, I would try to
teach, more than anything, for people not to take my words
and try to regurgitate them. And look, it’s almost what I’m trying, I mean, I’m teaching my course
right now with #AskGaryVee. My big thing here, guys, is, and I raz the VaynerNation
once in a while, so in this short episode,
it feels appropriate. Way too many of you are just
regurgitating what I’m saying instead of actually doing it. Boy, do I love all of you that
hearted up my Hustle picture on Instagram the other day. Let’s put that up. And then when I looked at,
like, seven or eight people, they just see how they were hustling ’cause I keep doing it, I keep, VaynerNation, understand one thing. I take enormous pride in
double checking your actions while you regurgitate my hyperbole. Let me tell you why. It’s not ’cause I’m the best dude ever. It’s because if my fans that spew my stuff aren’t actually acting
on my recommendation, which is putting in the
work, doing the right things, listening to their audience,
working, hustling, trying, doing the right practices, not automating, well then, when people,
like, if you post a photo, regram it, and like, hustle, but you’re playing Call of Duty all day, then all your friends on Instagram, the 97 people are like,
“Well, that’s just a guy “that spews hyperbole because
if you love him so much “but you aren’t doing it, “well then, that just disconnects.” So, one of the main reasons
I’m paying attention to what everybody is doing is because if the people
that are consuming my content and retweeting and pushing out my stuff are not acting on that behavior, that has a chance of hurting me. You know how fun it’s been over
the last four or five months ’cause of the show because
of the zinging that you, many of the people that have
commented on every episode have emailed me and said, “You know what? “I haven’t actually been doing it,” like, I’m talking the talk,
but I’m not walking the walk. That’s been really fun
for me to watch, and so, I forgot the question. Oh, it’s the course, right? (laughs) I mean, look, the course would be, like, listen to everything
I’m gonna tell you about the disconnect between
school and the real world from a marketing business standpoint. I know you could be a lawyer or a doctor, you need to learn that
stuff, I respect that, but from like entrepreneur business stuff and the whole course
would be eight to 12 weeks of me pounding you not to
regurgitate my information, but to act on it. Over here, I’m over here now DRock. You need to act on it. You need to actually execute. You can’t say hustle and then not hustle. You can’t say, and this is the, the hustle part, a lot of you are doing. Here’s the part that really pisses me off. All of you that retweeted
my whole listen to people instead of just talk, you
need to engage, right? And the other thing is a lot of you are engaging with each
other, which is great. I love that, like, 20 of you
become really good friends and retweet each other
and heart everything, but go out there and use
search on Twitter, right? Try different things. Go write articles on Medium. I can’t believe how many of you who are not writing articles on Medium, the one platform that rewards virality to people that have no audience, the far majority of
you, you should be what? We’re hustling Medium every day and I have awareness because it’s giving me
more free awareness. Guys, Medium is a platform that allows you if you write a good story for one of their editors
to put on the home page and all of a sudden, you got a platform and a couple of you have done
it, and we’ve pounded here, and you see me doing it. That’s the part that pisses me off. You see me doing it heavy. Plenty of you have asked the, “Hey, AskGaryVee, why
do you post up on Medium “and not your own blog?” Because it brings me, just so everybody understands, I will never do anything
if it doesn’t bring me either short-term or long-term value, so if I’m doing it, don’t you think you should be paying attention
a little more, the why. And so, my course would be very, (chuckle) bring you back. My course will be very predicated on: Here’s all the advice, but
please don’t be a student. Be a practitioner.
