– Well, she already
knows the answer, right? – Go ahead. You go. – No, that’s the thing with
psychics, they already know. Why are they asking? Next. – Yeah. I mean, look. You guys know where I sit on this one. I won’t meditate. I don’t
need to see psychics. – Whoa. It’s not okay
to put those two things in the same sentence. – Yes, it is. I’ll tell you. – No, it’s not. – Well, you don’t get to say. – I do, because one is science,
and the other one is not. – Okay. – Science is one of the coolest things that’s ever happened to mankind. – I hate science, Seth. Seth, I’m telling you
the truth about this. I mean, you know I hate disappointing you. – You don’t have to like it, but you can’t deny that it works. – I don’t deny science. – So, it’s not okay to start conflating things that are based on science– – Versus things that are not. – Correct.
– Okay. – Thank you. – So, let me ask you a question. What do you think about
emotional intelligence? Seriously, like can I tell you something? Can I tell you something
that weirds me out. – Go ahead. – Help me here, because I trust you. Why is it that often, not always, and I understand brain
tricks and all that shit, but I get weirded out when
I think of random shit like somebody I haven’t
talked to in seven years, and then the next day they call me. Or a million other things. Tell me about intuition. – That has nothing to do
with emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is
Daniel Goleman’s semantic take on what we need from people. The ability to look people in the eye. The ability to not eat the marshmallow. Emotional intelligence
is an important concept that people should understand. You’re talking about instinct, intuition. Okay, let’s have conversation about that. – Can’t they be cousins? – They’re not related things, no. They’re just not. – I believe you. You’re probably right. I don’t look this shit up. – Think about the people you know, who you’ve hired here, right? The ones you like the best aren’t the ones who are better at typing
than someone else. They’re the ones who have
the emotional intelligence to bring tension to bare
to cause change to happen in a way that benefits others. – 100% – That has nothing to do
with a friend calling you. – No. No question, no question. – Coincidence is super easy to explain. – Please. – We, as humans, are
story telling machines. We notice things, but we have
to make stories about them. You, yesterday, thought of
more than 300 different people. – Probably more than that. – And one of them called you. You paid attention to the coincidence, but you didn’t say, “Holy smokes, 299 people
didn’t call me today.” – That’s right. – The reason that coincidence works is as story manufacturing humans, we’re always looking for that correlation. And that’s why people buy lottery tickets. Because they think that
there’s some sort of weird cosmic numerology thing going on, because we’re wired to look
for weird coincidences, but there aren’t actually weird
coincidences in the world. We just think there are.
– It’s all science. – I didn’t say that. – That’s what you said. – No. There’s plenty of
things that aren’t science, because we make up stories
that are irrational. What I’m saying is there’s
a good reason we evolved to make up stories that are irrational, because they kept us alive. Because sometimes there’s a correlation between the stick breaking and the lion jumping out of the woods. And then when we listen
for sticks breaking, it might keep us alive, and
we’ll have grandchildren and other people will
listen for sticks breaking. Where it breaks down is
now there are no lions, but we’re still listening
for sticks breaking. We’re looking for broken windows. We’re paranoid about
certain things because– – It’s hippos and sharks. – Hippos and sharks, sure. – I love that. Look it up if you didn’t understand that. Go ahead, India.

Pat from Smart Passive
Income, quick question, when you get a new idea, when a new idea pops into your head, how
do you, do you have a validation process before
actually taking action on that idea to make sure
it’s worth it or not? Do you have a vetting process,
does your team help you? I’m curious because a
lot of us entrepreneurs, we have a ton of ideas, how do you know which ones are going to work or not. And to follow it up,
do you have an example? – That’s a great, great, great, great, great, great, great question. I’ve two processes. One is completely emotional, the other one is completely rational. There have been ideas,
a la, the #AskGaryVee Show where literally in one shot, though it’s perculated a little bit, in one moment I go, I execute against
the idea and I let the results speak for themselves
and I can stop it. For everytime I look like
a hero, where I make the first episode of Wine Library TV
or #AskGaryVee and I say we’re gonna look back at
this and this was right. There’s seven other things
that I have done like that which are floating
in the internets, and I’m gonna be, we’re gonna look
back at this and be like merr. My first picture from Flickr,
my first picture for Flickr. – [India] I have it somewhere. – Do you have it somewhere? My first picture from Flickr I drew out gourmetlibrary.com. Drew it and I said one day
this will be one of the most iconic pictures in my
life or something like that. And it was because at
that time I thought I was gonna launch gourmetlibrary.com
and I knew that I was gonna build $100 million gourmet business. What happened was I
started Wine Library TV two months later as well
and that became the thing and I never got around to
really doing gourmet library. So, I think I got that intuitive part. The other part is like Wine Library TV, since February, since
really like March or April of 2005 I knew that I
wanted to do a Youtube show. That it was gonna be
big, but it took me until February ’06 to start Wine Library TV. I knew that I wanted
to do an ecommerce site in ’94 but I really didn’t launch it until ’96 but really run it until ’98. I know that I’m going
to buy a brand one day. Puma, Snickers, you know
Pabst Blue Ribbon but I’m perculating and learning for
10 years before that moment. So, I’ve both, but Pat
really the answer is it’s very internal, I don’t go
to my dad or to Brittany and be like hey Britt what do you think. Like, I don’t give a shit
what Brittany thinks. Now that is either a strength
or a weakness, sorry Brit. That’s either a strength
or a weakness but I want to give you the truth which
is I go very internal, I feel it with myself, I
care, you know what’s funny? I don’t care what Brittany
says as my consultant or teammate, I care what
Brittany does as a consumer. I respect the market over
my friends, my family, the people I respect and even myself. And so I think the way to find out what the market’s gonna feel and do is by giving them a chance to react to it. So, I let the things that
I feel the most bubble up and then I execute against those things and then I let the chips
fall where they may. – [India] I found it.
– You found the picture? – The caption is so
funny, one day everyone will know why this pic is so amazing. – Oh my God, see this
is so cool because look, I mean obviously you’re
gonna put the subs on, the so is very similar to show. – Yeah. – That’s unbelievable, one
day, December 30, 2005, oh my God, this is
literally, what’s today? – [India and man] The 16th. – This is literally,
literally a decade ago. Like, two weeks short of a decade ago. There’s a picture of the
pasta I ate while I drew out gourmetlibrary.com
and one day everyone will know why this pic is so amazing. And I’m gonna tell you why
this pic is so amazing, though I didn’t execute on
gourmet library ten years ago, and big shout out to
Eric Caster and John Kay who were there with me that day. Even though I didn’t, this
date was the two week period, this was the height of the
holidays, this date represents the day that I knew that
I wasn’t gonna be in the wine business the rest of my life. This picture really
represents the transformation into what all of you have known me to become over the last ten years. – The dirty bowl is so significant though. – I told you that one day everyone would understand why this pic is so. – I even bookmarked it
cause we were eating. – Cause it’s so amazing, that’s cool. – [India] That is cool. – I’m a little bit emotional about that.

– [Voiceover] Anthony asks,
“You recommend working for free, “but how do you know if
someone is just tryin’ “to get free stuff and
passing it off as exposure?” – You don’t. – [India] Cool, next question. – Fine. (laughter) You don’t, and that’s the point. Like, not every (bleep) thing has upside every single time you do it. It’s a net net score. You do it 38 times, DRock, you did movies for free besides me. And this just popped in my head. How many? – [DRock] At least 20. – 20? – [DRock] At least. – For people that looked like my profile? – [DRock] No. – How many that looked like my profile? – [DRock] Two? – Two, right, and then
you got a bunch after, that hit you, that’s right. So, how did those 20 work out for you? – [DRock] Um. – Yeah, I don’t expect you
to say bad, like I’m curious. – [Voiceover] One.
– One. – [Voiceover] I think one project fed me, for the entire three month thing. But the other 19, not so much. – Got it. And then, how about mine? – [DRock] Fed me pretty well. – Yeah ok. So you know, I mean, so I think that, I think you don’t. I think look, you can look
into people’s backgrounds, see their actions. I would tell you off of the, you know, exposure and hyperbole
of DRock’s free work, on this show, I’m probably
in a better position today than I was two
years ago to get people to want to do free work. Because they’re like,
well I want to be that. So you can look into
people’s history, if you can, but you just really don’t, you
have to use your intuition. Do you know how many meetings I go and pitch new business,
and then others I don’t, and I’m making a judgement call. Like it’s a use of my
time, my biggest asset, and was it worth going for three hours and flying, was it worth a day flying, pitching the business,
and then we didn’t get it? That was a bad judgement call, but then sometimes it works out. It’s a net net game. This insanity for the short term ROI, of every action, is so goddamn broken. What’s his name again?
– [India] Anthony. – Anthony, that you know, I think way too many
people are crippled. You don’t! You don’t know a lot of things. Shit, you don’t know almost everything. Like seriously, like
what do you know in life? Is this the right college? Is this the right friends? Is this the right boyfriend? You don’t know anything!
– [India] True. – You make decisions
and you (bleep) adjust and live with them. You counterpunch to reality. Work, too, this freelance
(bleep) high ground of like, nuh. It’s supply and demand, mother (bleep). Like if there’s people willing to do it, then that’s just the
(bleep), that’s the shit! (laughter) (speakers mumble off-camera)

“Gary, how do you analyze all
the social media data “that you get every day? “Personally and corporately.” – What’s the corporately part, like, how does VaynerMedia do it versus me? I do it completely on what got me here in the first place, and Brian, you know, this might be interesting, Brian, it’d be interesting, this is
probably to make me feel good, but you can go anywhere you want with it, you have an interesting perspective, because you were actually
there when my thing happened. There’s not that many people that were. So, you know, I did it back then on feel. I was right about a lot
of things intuitively, and that’s what I do now, I mean, I just read it, I read my feeds, I read my comments, I look
at the enagement levels on what I’m putting out, so
I’m analyst on my own stuff. Vayner as a corporate entity is doing it much more
Excel sheet than gut feel than I am, they’re
analyzing numbers deeper, they’re converting that into a report for their clients, I’m sure
you guys do similar stuff, but me, personally, I’m just reading it. Like, I’m watching how fast
I get likes on Instagram when it’s convenient, not every post. You know, if I’m on a plane
and I do it right before I take off, and as soon
as I get the Wi-Fi, I can look at it, like,
there’s kind of serendipity to the way I analyze, but I’m feeling it. I was very intuitive in
the way I marched in, ’06-7-8-9, a lot of
those things worked out. I continue to do that, I continue, look, I’m doing it even with the show. If you’re noticing, Brian
is now the culmination of a period here where we
brought in a lot of guests by comparison, so I’m
always testing and learning, looking at the comments,
trying to understand, trying to vibe with it. Bri? – The one thing I will say about you as your friend, is that
you’ve always cared, right, so at a time where, we’ve
come up with a lot of people over the years that just
really try to buy into the hype, create the hype, and really try to grow their fan bases,
and all of that activity, without actually adding
value to the community. You’re still hustling probably
harder than ever before, maybe more than you did early on. You take that feedback, I watched this, you take that feedback, you
actually do something with it, you do shows like this
where you can add value to people’s lives, people’s streams, with everything that you do, so I think your metric
system is just sort of a validation of the fact that
you’re listening to people and trying to give back to the community. That’s evident, and you
should be rewarded with that. – Appreciate it. You like that, India? And by the way, by the
way, I have been asked by 900 people to sit in this seat and do this, and we’ve been at 6, and, like, 5, and one of them was my father-in-law,
so it’s not, you know, I think it speaks to your ways. Well, and then there’s all
the behind-the-scenes stuff that you and I know, which is, there’s the business stuff, and you can be very business-oriented, this is a good lesson for
a lot of the youngsters, there’s the black-and-white
business stuff like, ‘yo, homie, support my book?’ Sure, I could do that, but
then there’s just life, right. Like when somebody’s sick, when you post something on your Facebook that you’re having a tough time, or the, all the people
that we share in common that we’ve never sat
in the same room with, that, how they talk about us to each other when we get brought up
in a setting, right? It’s all those other things that are part of the equation as well. – You know, I think, if
there’s one thing I’ve learned along this journey is to constantly give more than you take and. – 51-49. – Treat people in ways that
make them feel more special when they leave an engagement with you, and then, last is, just
live and act and breathe as if you want people to talk about you when you’re not in the room
in a way that’s complimentary. – 100%. Legacy and brand.

“important decisions do
you trust your own gut “and experience or do you
count on some advisor as well?” – Who’s your go-to person
on a real decision? Do you have one? – You know, it used to be my Dad, but he had a pretty extreme car
accident about 10 years ago, so he can’t really
comprehend certain things at that level anymore. But I go to a guy named Stewart Jenkins. Who works at a big brand called Deckers, a billion dollar shoe company that owns Ugg and Timba,
and some of those brands. And he’s just like a straight
shooter, tells me how it is, great family guy. – Doesn’t try to pander to what you want to hear?
– [Lewis] He doesn’t deal with my ego he just tells me. He’s got such good integrity and morals. – That’s why I don’t speak to anybody, I don’t want anybody touching my ego. – (laughs) Exactly. So I talk to him with real
issues that speak to the heart. – What percentage of decisions
do you make on your gut? – A lot. – Like what percentage? – Probably 100%. – OK, so you really don’t
give a shit what Stewart says. – No, I advise with
everyone on tough decisions but I always know the answer. – Got it. – You know what I mean,
it’s like I know the answer, but I feel like I have to make sure.
– [Gary] Has anybody wavered you from the answer? – People have given me different opinions but I always know, yes, they have. They have, they waver
me, and then I realize I shouldn’t have taken that advice. – So at times, where you
haven’t gone with your gut and you’ve gone with people
that you think have made it or other things, it hasn’t paid off, so you’re now defaulting
as you’re maturing into your own place.
– [Lewis] Yes. – [Gary] I mean for me,
I’ve always been that way. And I think that what happened,
it’s interesting to hear your perspective, it’s fun
to have guests a little bit because you would’ve gotten my answer of you know, no! I respect my Mom and Dad
and things of that nature, but I don’t even, I love them with all of my heart, I just make my own decisions. I don’t know what else to say about this. But it’s interesting that– – I come from an athlete background, so I was constantly coached,
constantly getting feedback. So I like to have the coaching, – That makes sense. – in an environment so
I can just take action and apply the information. But a lot of the times, I know the answer, it’s just trusting
myself a hundred percent. – That makes a lot of sense. I think the one thing that is
an actual item of this show taking the theme from your book and we’ll continue to act on it. I think you should really try,
if you’re watching the show, to try the opposite on the
next decent sized decision. As long as it’s not a top
three decision in your life, then do you. If it’s a fourth biggest
decision type of thing, try the other way as context. I may even try this, no I can’t. But (laughs) that didn’t even last a sentence. But, I think that would be interesting. Because I’m intrigued by
you ending up in this place. My intuition is a lot of
people end up in that place as they get older and older,
because at some level, you’d rather, for me, I’d
rather go down my way. That to me is probably the thing. When you’re making real decisions there’s upside and there’s downside. That’s why they’re big decisions. If I’m gonna go down, I wanna go down because I screwed up. Not because somebody else gave me advice and it just didn’t work out. That’s just, yeah, alright India. – I think that segues really
well into the next question. – [Gary] Oh, a lot of segueing going on.

“have watched the #AskGaryVee show?” – Would 22 year old Gary Vee #AskGaryVee Show? Good question. The answer is no. Which is interesting, but true. 22 year old Gary knew he had it and didn’t want to
learn from other things. Which I don’t know if it’s
a strength or a weakness, but he believed in what he had in his body and I believed in what I was going to be and felt that my fresh naive eyes and my intuition was more valuable than putting things in my head which would then be known as well look at how that person
did it and they did it well. I truly do believe that one of the reasons that so many of you watch this show is because I say things different, I come from different angles, and I really do believe that’s because I don’t consume anybody else’s stuff. I think it helps me keep fresh. I think my stuff comes from operating. I think you know, just,
I’m giving you a wide view because the background changed. I think my stuff comes
from actually operating. I think my stuff comes
from an intuitive place. And I don’t, I don’t
try to consume anything. As a matter of fact I was at this event where there was an opening
key note during the dinner where I had to like meet with a client. Boy I really didn’t like it. It was a really bad experience. One I wanted to like go up, I literally wanted to go up on stage and hit him with a chair
WWF style and take over. Like all right! And you know like, I just don’t feel like that’s my learning style. So 22 year old Gary would spit in the face of
the #AskGaryVee Show. Sorry DRock. And that’s that. Missed you guys a lot. Really pumped to be back in the saddle.

– Hi, VaynerNation, I am
Sid, I’ve been working with Team Gary for the last 10 months. I’m a graduate student at Babson, and my question is a little
bit around you because like, how in depth I’ve seen you working, and, I’ve seen you go all
in when you were like, doing something, but
then we also, as a team, have seen that you step
back and see things in a wider perspective and
then you change direction, come up with creative ideas. So, how do you decide when it’s like, a moment to just step back and reconsider? – That’s an interesting question. You know, it’s funny, you know, I always say to candidates
when I meet with them, meeting with a lot of senior people who are gonna run a
lot of departments here at Vayner in the future, and I say, look, you know me in the outside, and you think that I’m gonna micro manage a ton. What’s weird is I’m very the other way. Like, I actually have a lot of, you know, it’s, you know, I always
wanna ask, you know, I almost completely wanna reverse this to the ask Sid show because I’m curious how you quantify for, to me, this is a very hard answer for me because it’s just innate, right? Like, it’s just to how
I, I don’t even know. Meaning, yeah, I mean, I feel when I have to go deep, I feel like
when I have to go wide, I’m reacting to what feels intuitive to me at the moment, I’m quantifying the people that are involved in the situation. The market, it’s, you know,
it’s kind of like a feeling to understand what to do at that moment. What I think happens is when I taste it, I talk about, I use the analogy of like, blood in the water,
shark mentality, right? When I taste it, then I
wanna go all in, right? Like, then I’m like, let’s go, right? And so, but I don’t know how to quantify what it takes for me to taste it. I feel like it’s a combination
of me and my partner in crime, team, or individual
is now at a crescendo to like, to be able to really attack it, and I can like, really
go in, and there’s like, a cadence between the
two of us that allows us to deliver on it. You know, Sid, I think
that’s a shit answer, and I apologize. There’s some answers that
are just tough to, you know, like, it’s just, how do
you describe the feeling, but I do believe this
is the essence of what, why I always believe that entrepreneurship and being a business man
or woman is a talent. This question is the same
question of like, you know, like, how do you know
when to hit the high note? Like, when do you know it’s game time, and you’ve gotta shoot,
and stop passing the ball? Like, you know, when do you know like, how to like, like, being
a great surgeon, like, where do you like, it’s
just the feel and the rhythm of the game, and as a business
person, I’ve said this, Emily, you might have heard this, like, some of you guys might have heard this, I’ve been saying to a couple
people here and there, that the company feels
more manageable to me. Like, right now, I feel more in control of four offices and 550 people than I did when we were at 200. It’s just, it’s the rhythm of it. And so, that’s why I know it’s a talent. There’s nothing I was taught,
there’s no blue print, it’s just being one with the business. So weird. But it’s what it is, it’s
like, it just, I understand it. And you know what’s funny? I don’t think it’s right or wrong, I think what you’re observing, and I know you’ve been very observant, which is why it was a fun question to hear from you, it’s right for me. You know what I mean? It’s not the right thing
that you need to go and deploy against you, it’s
not right for your start up, it’s what’s right for me, and what’s, the one thing that I do love about myself, and this is just flat out, I don’t let, nobody has any equity from
my parents, to my brother, to my most trusted
employees, nobody has impact, or can wait, make me
waiver, or dents that belief in me, and it, and that thing. An that unwavering has brought me enormous amounts of value. It’s like, just like, just the
strongest thing in my world. Like, me and the business
at hand, you know, in harmony without
allowing any other voice to even have a peep in that direction has been very, very important to me.

“decisions you’ve stopped
making or put on autopilot “in order to maximize your
brain power for the day?” – That’s a great question. Thank you India, and No Fun Press. I’m gonna blow your faces off. Almost all of them. – Whoa, whoa. – Almost all of them, and
what I mean by that is, I fundamentally believe
that I recognize for me that 99% of things don’t matter. I mean, you guys roll
with me, you know, right? Like, I don’t care, fine. Like think about the lack
of micromanaging I do, the lack of being weird, you know. Really the only
micromanaging I ever did was when I would make Zak photoshop out my double chin during the fat years. I really really really
believe that most things don’t matter, and so
what I do is I put people in positions to succeed, I recognize, I do believe that most
people that do things for me or with me, especially if
they’re tasks that I can do, don’t do them as well as I do. I’m like every other person with ego and skills and all that. The problem is, I recognize
I can’t do them all. It’s about how you look at ’em. DRock and I had an interesting
conversation the other day on a different subject, but it was like, you can look at this, or
you can look at this, right? And that’s how I look at it. I could do all these 29 things at an 11, or I can outsource that
and let all of them be eights and sevens and sixes and fives, ’cause they don’t mean that much, and I can focus on whatever’s
left for me and do it at a 37, or an 11, just to
make the analogy proper. So I think most things don’t matter. I go with my intuition to focus
on what I should be doing. That’s it, that’s it. I’ve been able to level up in my career by leaving my ego at the door and recognizing that other people could do it better, and if they don’t do it
better, that their eight is as good as my 11, because
the end result of the marketplace judging is an
eight and 11 is the same god damn thing, and my
time and energy can be deployed against something bigger, while, optically, back
to the prior question, we’ll focus on something
like VaynerMedia where holistically people
thought a waste of my time, I knew what my 25 year,
40 year strategy was, and so that’s a scoop, India. It was a good day here in the streets.

“Which do you prefer
[abrasive vs. compassionate] “when getting a point understood
to meet goals and why?” – Josh, I’m curious why
you’re asking this question. I think it’s maybe because you’ve realized I’m abrasive and compassionate
at the same time. And I’m very thankful that
I have a tool belt where I pull out a lot of different emotions. Competitiveness, caring,
warmth, sensitvity, straight disrespect. One of my favorites. (click) Such a deli– that was me drinking self disrespect. Such a delicious flavor. Every situation calls for
a different concoction. And so, what I spend
most of my time really thinking about is getting to know all the different employees
and trying to fig– Did you like that Staphon
showed up in the back? (trucks revving) I’m over here. Getting to know each and every employee on an individual basis, understanding the situation at hand, and then being smart enough as the leader, as the CEO, to deploy the right mix, the
right blend at that moment for the task at hand. I actually have no emotion and no favorite move. No, I don’t prefer
combativeness to compassion to respect to any of this. I really just whatever
I think at that moment is the right move. Sometimes I’ll do six
months worth of compassion and then straight karate chop, sweep the leg to the mouth, because clearly that wasn’t working. So, I’m adjusting in
real time to my clients, to my employees, to my investors, to my startups. This is a never-ending,
constantly 24/7, 365. Test and learn. Use your intuition and not get romantic or not get into a habit of
using one move over and over because a funny thing
happens with these things. It’s kind of like medicine. If you use it too often, it stops working as well. – [Voiceover] Raymond asks,
(hip-hop music)

– What’s up? (mumbling) 1,700 on Meerkat. Hey, Meerkat. I love it. Cool. Let’s keep it going. Hey. – Chris Green from Massachussets – [Gary] Hey, Chris. Congradulations 100 episodes
of #AskGaryVee. – Thank you, man. Shout out to DRock for that hustle video one of the greatest
videos I have ever seen. – Let’s here it for DRock! (audience cheering) – You can talk about the hustle, you just said two questions ago you can make any company successful, I know you believe that, we all believe it but when you can do so
many different things when your hustle can turn
into so many different things with so many opportunities today 2015 how do you chose what to do and what’s your greatest opportunity ’cause to do what you are doing? – This is the part that I’m not great at. You know, many around me would argue that I’ve done a poor job in selecting opportunity cost because of the earlier question to the gal that pitched
all the stuff of you know, I’m playing such a long, my vulnerability and I think I said it on one
episode, but I am not sure. My vulnerability is that I was too patient and I left the prime years on the table by giving back too much by leveraging too much, by doing non scaleable things too much and so it’s something, you
know, I turn 40 in November and much like when I
turned 30 and freaked out at Wine Library, and
started Wine Library TV I think I’m forcing the narrative ’cause I think it’s convenient. But I’m definitely feeling weird. I’d be lying if I wasn’t. I have been spending a
ton of time on you know, I’m sure I don’t really recall this, but I actually do recall it. I remember thinking
like all right 30 to 40 is going to be the years where I lay down the foundation
to buy the New York Jets. All right, and so, you know, I’ve definitely been
like, you know 40 to 50, like this is it, right? And I’m sure when I get to 50,
I’m like this is really it. You know, but, I’ll be honest with you I’m not sure that I am the
best guy for this answer because the truth is I
like non-scaleable things I love doing stuff like this. Like you understand at some level and I think people will
eventually figure this out about me, and I think a lot of people here probably do recognize it. I disproportionally like
people which will then probably ultimately not allow me to
maybe squeeze out every dollar but I’m still going to
be much happier for it. Like this show, like I’m
going to watch this show. Wait, hold on, let me just talk to myself. You look terrible. (audience laughing) – That was me talking
to my 90-year-old self. Like these things, it’s funny
when I come across somebody tweeting out like an episode of Wine Library TV from like
2006, like I do a ton of stuff that on black and white don’t look like the smart opportunity cost
play, but they are the things that make me happy as a human being and just hustling for the cash so that we’re buying the Jets is only one part
of the equation for me and so I think from a business sense I leave a lot on the table from a life sense, I’m happy
with my allocation of my time. I’m happy that I get together
with former employees that I love so much, even
though everybody around me will say “We need those 15 minutes “for these 700 other things
that need to happen.” I don’t care. And so, I think that you know,
I think the way I judge it is how it feels in my
stomach and my heart. Not my brain. (audience applauding)
