DRock or whoever is editing
this please hook me up with my Twitter handle,
I appreciate that. My question to you Gary is I’ve
just headhunted for position at Facebook but I’m currently
running a small but growing digital marketing agency in the
UK called KPS Digital Marketing do I stop what I’m doing with my
agency and get some one else to manage it and then go and
work at Facebook to get the experience or do I ignore the
position at Facebook and carry on hustling and doing what
I’m doing with my growing digital marketing agency? – [Gary] Daniel,
that’s a personal question. – I appreciate your answer. – That’s a personal question. I can’t answer that for you. You need to know who you
are and what you’re about. My intuition is anybody that
even questions to leave their own business to
go work at a company should go work at that company. Cory Gregory here just
pulled up to the gym,

– GaryVee, thank you for
taking this question, man. Your friend Gus Fernandez
from Orlando, Florida. I appreciate it, big fan. Here’s my question. The entrepreneurship Hall of
Fame just called, you’re getting inducted man in 2025 but they need to know what
the plaque is going to read. Let us know and which
hat are you gonna wear? Are you gonna have the hat
that says CEO, NFL owner, what? Let us know man. You’re the man.
Thanks. – Gus it would be a
picture with a B on it. My hat would have a B on it
and it would say Honey Emperor. – [Garrett] For what? – I want to build
a honey empire. I want to be known as an
entrepreneur 20, 30, 40 years from now that this was the guy
that came along and he built $1 trillion empire on the way
he interacted with his people. He created a true insular,
you know it’s funny, once in while when
people first kinda meet me they’re like
and for real in a good way they’re like,
“Are you building a cult?” They’re like razzing me a
little but there actually really weirdly like I just
really love leadership. I really love people winning. I love winning and I just
generally believe that I can win and you can win. We all different ambitions and
different wants and if one wants to go and then go do their
thing Mozel Tov, go do it. Go win. Shit, do you know how
interesting it would be for me if somebody left here, if
Garrett left here and created G-Squared Media it started
beating VaynerMedia. I’d be like my God, kudos fuck
I want to kill him but like you know like kudos. Have nothing but
respect for the game. Honey Empire. I’m going to like this is what
I’ve always had difficulty with how much Steve Jobs has
been put on a pedestal. Cool, you invented awesome
shit but extracting value out of people by making them cry and
pushing them to that place it’s just Star Wars shit. You know the Force is slightly
better than the Dark Side. Just slightly and
that I’m fascinated by. And I want to build something,
what do you think this is about? What do you think this is about? It’s about the woman I just met
in the lobby who works in this new building that stopped
me and said, “I work here. “I’m sorry to grab you. “I found out about you. “Everybody that’s working here “has been talking
about your videos. “I watched it. “I’m inspired,
I’m gonna do my own thing.” I can make money. I can get fame and a lot,
I coulda did a TV show like, I could have been on
Top Chef back in the wine day. It was the number one
fuckin’ show on TV. I could have been famous then. Way more famous than I am
right now eight years later. Legacy, changing the game like
creating the framework for so many of you out there to look up
to and aspire to to build your honey empire so that good
can win ’cause that’s good. That’s just good for all of us.

– [Voiceover] Parker asks, “We
know you’re not a bling bling “guy but be honest how
many Nike kicks you got?” – Actually answered him on
Twitter the answer was 20 until I hung up with my boy DJ Clue
last night who hooked me up with like 20 pairs of Air Force. It’s unbelievable,
he’s the greatest guy. I’m wearing this pair,
it’s new, so now I have 40. (laughter) Like literally doubled my collection. That’s how he rolls. He’s a gangster man. He has 40 pairs of the same
stuff I guess, he’s the best. Obviously, a good friend. I actually asked them to be on
the show last night when we were hanging out. So DJ Clue, iconic hip hop DJ
will be coming through soon. – [India] From Blake?
– Blake.

– [Pierce] Gary, it’s summer
what you’re POV on belt since I know you’re not wearing one? – I’m down on belts. I haven’t worn a
belt in a long time. I don’t believe in belts. I don’t like them. You?
– [Pierce] I love them. They’re a fashion statement,
they keep your pants up. Garrett and I go
deep with the fashion. (inaudible) – I do have white
pants today, you like it? – [Pierce] Yeah.
– Thank you, thank you. Alright, Pierce go do
something productive. Thanks for the belt question. – [India] (inaudible)

“best aspect of a live
music event or experience?” – I can’t answer that. – The most important aspect?
– This is you. – Just getting the
people and getting engaged. See I try to die every
time I’m on the stage. – Die?
– Die. Like physically– – You go so hard
that just might go. – I try to die.
– I like that. – I would love to die on stage. – Seriously, right?
– Seriously. – I get it.
– What happens is– – You look good these days.
– Thanks so much. – You’re probably less likely
to do than I’m back in a day. – I’m trying.
I’ve been trying. – You’re looking good, man. – I’ve been trying
to workout every day. – Back in the day you might
have been able to pull that off. Looking good though now.
– I know, I know, I know. What happens is I’ve analyzed this
so hard to where times are hard and everybody
doesn’t have money like that. – [Gary] Mhmmm. – And everybody doesn’t
give money the same way. I’ve analyzed it to where people
buy tickets to go to shows to where every single dollar
tells a different story. So everybody who’s in
this audience had to do a different thing. Work harder, work extra
hours, borrow some money, sell something that they really loved to see their
favorite rapper. – [Gary] Just to see that show.
– Do whatever. So every ticket tells a
different story so it’s my obligation that if they
went through their, through all these changes to see me being their
favorite rapper then I have to give them my all in the show.
– [Gary] I love that. This is now me jumping in. What is your favorite, what
are your some of your favorite venues to perform in? Do you have a
favorite venue or two? I saw you at Citi Field
the other day. – My favorite show I’ve ever
done in my life was last night. – Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Your favorite show– – I’ve ever done in my life. My best moment in my
career was last night. – Well I worked until two in the
morning and I’ve been up since five working so I
need to hear the story. – So what happened was yesterday
I did Summer Stage in Katonah Park in the Bronx.
– Hmmm. – It’s the park I grew up in. It’s like three blocks
away from my neighborhood. My grandmother grew up
three blocks in that direction. I grew up three
blocks in this direction. It’s never seen
no shit like this. So it’s usually
500 people at that. There was literally
20,000 people there and 5,000. – [Gary] You saw people. – No, I’ve seen
everybody’s mother. Everybody I went to school with. – You saw people that
you hadn’t seen in years. – It looked like
Summer Jam, man. It looked like Summer Jam in the
middle of the park I grew up in. I have a scar where I fell in
the pool where I have stitches my father sold Icees
and beef patties in the summer in this park. – [Gary] It was a coming home. – Oh my God. I almost cried on stage. – [Gary] You never
performed there before? – It was the craziest shit
I’ve ever seen in my life. – [Gary] Good for you, man.
Congratulations. – So when I got on stage it was
overwhelming when I looked out it just looked like Yankee
Stadium and it was my whole neighborhood and
I was like, “Oh shit.” And so many years I’ve been
fighting for the Bronx and talking about
yo I’m from the Bronx. I’m representing the Bronx. And when I see they all came
out they were like, “Yeah, bro.” – That’s nice, man.
– Welcome home. – Good for you man. – It was the biggest
moment for me in my life. – Congratulations.
That’s nice. – Thank you.
– [India] That was awesome.

– [Voiceover] Melita asks,
“If we aren’t good with numbers, “can we really be
good at business?” – I’m shit with numbers. Next. – [India] Perfect. From Andy.
– Andy.

(laughter from all) – What’s up man?
It’s Gary. (laughter) Hello?
– [Efrain] Hello? – It’s Gary Vaynerchuk.
How are you? – Good, I just need
to take this off. Alright, can you hear me?
– Yeah, I can hear you. – [Efrain] Okay great I was
hearing the feedback from watching it and
hearing my voice. – No worries, man. – [Efrain] Hey guys. Efrain Garcia.
Greetings from Houston, Texas. – Big ups Houston.
H-Town what up? – [Efrain] I was introduced from
a friend of mine, Method 21, that me about you guys as I was
starting up my business and definitely has lit a
fire underneath me so I started up Unison Industrial Solutions. It’s a sales consulting
company. I was mentoring some kids from the University of
Houston that didn’t have any direction when they finished their
degrees so what I started doing was introducing them to trade
shows taking them out, taking them to some of the
networking events and giving them a crash
course on oil and gas. – Yep. – [Efrain] I said man, this would
be a great business to start to network. 
– So, real quick my man. This is The #AskGaryVee Show
so I got to ask what’s the question? I appreciate the context and
I don’t want to be a douche, I want the question though.
I’m obsessed with the question. – [Efrain] How do you
keep it together? I wanted to ask suggestions
of the CRM software that you utilize to keep everything
together so I wanted to give you an overview.
– Yep. No, I appreciate it. – [Efrain] Get all the pieces
together and then maybe I can do that also be able to
white label a CRM. – Got it so you actually want to
build a CRM for people that do stuff like you or you want to
figure out what’s the difference between an excel sheet or Google
Doc that’s free and SalesForce. And the answer is
others probably both. Right? Are you really saying I don’t
want to do a service, I want to build a SaaS business
and create a product? – [Efrain] No, so we do sales
consulting for oil and gas so I want to be able to cultivate or
a farm, teach these kids that way they have some direction
and maybe even while they are going to school give them
practical application of what they’re learning.
– Okay. – [Efrain] And then give them a
crash course in oil and gas so they have a goal in
mind for their education. Possibly hire them. – And so the question is how do
you organize their information to be most efficient? I want to make sure
I understand the question. – [Efrain] Correct. Keeping all the students
together, I would be able to categorize them to find out what
they’re studying engineering– – So dude honestly
SalesForce or Google Docs. It’s not super complicated.
Those are your two plays. – [Efrain] Okay. And what
about a white label CRM. Do you have any
suggestions on white labeling? – Meaning you want to create
one or who’s out there that white labels? Like what you want to do
with the white label CRM? I want to understand
what you’re asking. – [Efrain] With the CRM I want
to really give the students a directory with oil and gas. – Got it. Got it, got it.
I don’t know. But the good news is there
something way better than The #AskGaryVee Show you
should write this down. Got a pen paper ready?
– [Efrain] Ready. – G-O-O-G-L– – [Efrain] Got it.
– Got it. When you want
information, my friends, Google is better than me. If you want context
I might be better. Respect?
– [Efrain] Gotcha. Thanks man. – Thank you.
Alright, good experiment.

– [Voiceover] Mark asks “What’s
one question nobody has ever asked you that you
really wish they would?” – You’re right, I hate
this question, India. I don’t know. I feel so comfortable bragging
and having my own ego and tooting my own horn because I
think that’s appropriate. I think you should be your
number one fan and as long as you’re balancing it with humility
and I know people will catch you in different moments and
that’s why you think you’re egotistical but as long as your
balanced for yourself the market will
come around to you. Because I’m comfortable I wish
people asked more about that I’m not a marketing guru that
build tens of millions, hundred million dollar
companies, right? But I don’t have to ask
that because I say it. Right? I wish people asked me more
questions about me being a good HR driven CEO and me having a
lot more humility and patience and kindness and empathy than
they are but I don’t need them to ask that question
because I say it. And so I don’t have a want or
need of any question because most people that have want or
need of a question is they want to use somebody else’s question
as is the disguise to brag. It’s why we
created humble bragging. And I think we should
just be more transparent. Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook so
many people love that and they learned and they’ve
been successful and right. Give, give, give
and then ask cleanly. Yet when acting humble
or acting with bravado, they want to mix it.
Humble brag. They want to mix it. They want people to ask
them questions because that’s their opening
to brag a little. My think the way you talk about
yourself and the way you paint a narrative to the world
should follow the jab, jab, jab, right hook. Humility, humility,
humility, ego. Maybe I’m in the jab, jab,
right hook, right hook business and so there’s equal
parts of both. But I think that the reason I’ve
never wanted anybody to ask me a question is because
anything I really want to say I’ll say.
Both pro and con. Somebody left a comment
in the DailyVees of like Gary admits he’s sorry a lot. I guess on the from the
phone calls like sorry team. Sure if you’re going
to amplify your W’s you have to accept your L’s.

– I’ve got a question
that you’ve never ever been asked before. – [Gary] Okay. – Yeah, I do. Bear with me.
Bear with me. – [Gary] Okay. – Would you like
a special banana? – [Gary] Yes. – Because nobody eats
a banana like Gary. – [Gary] Nobody. I love it. Let’s clap it up for the banana. Nobody, DRock. – [Gabrielle] Also, can I
actually ask a question? – Yes. For a lot of you that only watch
the #AskGaryVee show this comes from what I putting out on
Snapchat so if you’re not following follow. – [Gabrielle] Thank you.
– You’re welcome. – [Gabrielle] Do you
know Desert Island Disks? – No. (audience laughter) – [Gabrielle] Nobody
eats a banana like Gary. By the way, podcasts I am a
voice actor so if you want a
