developments in New York
including Hudson Yards. Gary, I heard your moving
your offices over there from Park Avenue South so I’d love to hear why you decided
to make the move and Frederik from a residential
angle I’d love to hear what about Hudson Yards you’re
the most excited about. – I’ll let you go first because
it’s far more interesting. What’s the vibe out there? – To me, I ask questions
I’m obsessed with New York. My husband, he makes fun of me,
he’s angry at me because I say New York is the biggest
love story of my life. (laughter) Honestly.
– He’s number two. – The new new downtown which is
the old financial district which used to be Wall Street
which is not financial at all. Seaport is just blowing up. Hudson Yards they
are all equally– – Do you think the Hudson Yards thing is going to be
a big, big deal? – It’s major. It’s like 22 acres of parks,
39 skyscrapers it’s believable. The retail and it’s location. If you look at the map– – For a Jersey boy it’s great,
I just want to (waves hand). – No but it’s perfectly located,
you’re close the park, you’re close to Midtown but still
close to the water and the infrastructure they’re building,
it’s going to be incredible. It’s not so much they
love for Hudson Yards, it’s going to be great. It’s the love for New York
always turning over, always changing. I can’t keep up with.
No one can keep up with it. – Mine is much more practical
Steven Ross, who is building that project is my business
partner and a part owner of VaynerMedia because I want to
buy the New York Jets and he owns the Miami Dolphins so I
want to be in that ecosystem. You going to become a Jets fan?
Good. (laughter) And we’re growing so
fast I needed to be in a home where we can grow from within
and plopping ourselves over there I thought was
a very good idea. Plus, Jewish holidays getting to
Jersey just scooting right into the Lincoln Tunnel I’ll
save myself an extra hour for business meetings
so I like that. Cool, India, let’s move it. – And you’re gonna get an
amazing view, I’m assuming ’cause they’re all like crazy.
– Yeah.

(lively guitar music) – Hey GaryVee, hey Wyclef,
how are you guys doing? Thank you very much
for taking my question. My name is Brian Ripps. I’m a musician and
entertainer from New York City. For the last 10 years I’ve been
making my living writing songs and traveling the country
playing for the people. One of the biggest lessons I’ve
learned is how to take no for an answer and press on. I’m curious to hear from both
of you what some of the biggest no’s that you been encountereed
in your career are and how you overcame them and
moved on to conquer them? – Great question.
– Oh that’s good. – It’s very nice.
That was well done. – Great guitar player, too. – You know how happy
that guy is right now? – [India] So happy.
(laughter) – You killing that guitar.
He’s in New York? – [India] I’m not sure.
– Yeah, I think he said. Yeah. – Yo, do me a favor
right now man– – This is big. – hit me at okay we’re
gonna do, let’s make this big. (laughter) – Now you gotta deal with this. They have to deal with
this with me all the time. I love it. Do it, do it big. – Let’s do this.
– Go ahead. – When you come see me–
– In Jersey. – We come chill, don’t worry
I’mma have grass and everything. – No worries.
– You bring the wine. – I’m bringing the wine. – So listen, why don’t
we bring the homey in? – Done.
– Let’s bring him in. Let’s when Brian in and we
could do a little jam session. Okay, that’d be cool.
So this is what I’m thinking– – Dreams are made on
The #AskGaryVee Show. – To his question I would say the no factor is a
motivation factor. And the thing about it it’s
goes back to what you said. Every day you constantly
have to prove yourself. – [Gary] Only as good
as your last at-bat. – You’re proving
yourself to yourself. Always remember that because
the day that you wake up and you say, “Man, I’m
already good on piano. “I’m already good on guitar. “I done wrote 50 songs. “I don’t need
to write anymore.” That’s the day you’re finished.
– [Gary] Finished. – Because the thing that keeps us as human beings going is creativity. The day that we lose that we
completely lose ourselves. So to your point is it’s just
about each one, teach one and constantly being inspired and
whenever somebody told me no it was always a motivation for yes. – I couldn’t agree more. Again, so many of
you watch my content. Only as good as
your last at-bat. Chip on the shoulder. I would say that I’m wired, I’m
curious, I’m surprised how much I do want, I like
sticking it to the market. I’m very competitive. Do you find
yourself competitive? – You have to be.
Naturally. – To me I’ve talked a lot
about loving to lose. I do. For some reason, Staphon,
you know this when we play basketball in the morning,
when I lose I’m like weird. I like it. There’s a feeling
that I want. It motivates me so much. I truly believe that the thing
that separates so many people is people are scared of
the no and the loss. They think it’s a scarlet letter and what that does
it makes them not go. I love the way
that he said, “When I get no’s I
push through.” For me, my early childhood to
answer you directly because two guys that like to philosophize. I’ll go right into it, my
early childhood was probably my biggest adversity. I didn’t have the same adversity
of being a minority or gender or things of that nature. I didn’t have a whole lot of
money but the big thing that I had I was getting Ds and Fs. So I was making $3,000 a weekend
selling baseball cards in the malls of New Jersey but I was
getting D’s and F’s is a 13, 14-year-old and
everybody thought I was a loser. My teachers, my friends’
parents because that’s when school was the game.
– Mhmmm. – And so for me the market, the
world was telling me I wasn’t good and everything inside of me
told me I was going to be good. I don’t think you can be when
unless you love yourself first. I think you’re right about it
being a one-on-one game inside your own dome. So for me my adversity was
early on because once I hit the market, once my entrepreneurial
flair came out my first year running my dad’s
business I grew substantially. It was over before it started. Adversity, I think the thing
that is most interesting to me if this company doesn’t do
well next year, if my next five investments don’t do well,
if my next prediction is that Blah-Blah-Blah’s going to be
huge and it isn’t when then I’m not as good anymore. I’m fascinated by
the music industry. Three, four good albums
in a row, iconic stuff, one bad album.
It’s amazing. You’re just as good
as your last at-bat. – That’s right.
Think about it. In our business
we say 10 million is a championship ring, right?
– [Gary] Okay. – So to be able to
sell 10 million a few times and to do it for different people, right?
– [Gary] Yes. – Not yourself.
– [Gary] Yes. – Because this is another thing. Okay, cool, you can
make money but can you make
other people money? Because the key is if you can
make other people money, you create social entrepreneurship.
– [Gary] That’s right. Scale. – That’s right. So for me that’s
definitely part of, so for me and my business I remember I did the, when we
did “The Score” I got scared after we sold 10 million.
– It’s crazy, right? – ‘Cause I said, no
disrespect to Menudo. But I’m not dissing you. I love Menudo and
New Kids on the Block. I love them
’cause they watching. I love them. But I was like, “Holy shit,
we’re a pop group now.” – Yep. – I disappeared man. Got an apartment on
66th street and third and I was in a small room. And I was like, “I have this
thing called ‘The Carnival,'” and I was like, “I have
to do this thing.” – Now.
– And I was like, “It’s artsy, it’s artsy.
I have to do this thing,” and from there that landed me Destiny Child,
Beyoncé and them. Right? Somebody was like,
“Yo, we love ‘The Carnival’. “There’s these four girls in the
hotel room and we need you to “just go see them.” And then I went to this hotel. – Let me ask you a
question about the hotel room? Was that a moment where you just
understand immediately, did you under immediately understand
Beyoncé had real big-time talent or did that develop? Just for you one-man,
I’m just curious. Storytime. – I think for me I have a knack. Like Lauren as a kid 14, 15. – She’s from Maplewood? – Yeah,
Maplewood, New Jersey. – Right there.
– Columbia. Right. So I get this gift
from the church though. It’s purely and the church
called me the choir director. I can find a singer
in two minutes. I’m like, “Well, this is the
singer that’s gonna sing lead.” So definitely when I first
saw Beyoncé I was like wow. Right?
– Mhmmm. – What do I remember
about Beyoncé the most? I’ll tell you. And she’s watching, she know. – Thanks for watching, B. – Yeah. Every, every and
this is taking me back, right? Destiny’s Child was
opening up for me. – Is that right?
– Right? Watch this. But every time Destiny’s Child
got off the stage and I went on Beyoncé was
always on the side– – Watching.
– studying the show. People be like, “Man why
is she so invincible?” She’s so invincible because she’s a student of the game. – She put in the work.
– Right? This is another thing
when we talk about, right? So for me when I show up
it’s not about what I’m doing. I want to know
what you doing. Right? – It’s actually, what I do
for living is actually only predicated on watching what
other people are doing to figure out what they’re
going to do next. You know, I’m going to stick
here and be selfish for a second because it’s the
thing I like the most. Just binary, who, one man’s
opinion, you’re just one man– – Yeah. – Who was the most talented
person you came across and who was the hardest working
person you’ve come across? Right now, so far, in your
journeys, in your industry, in your industry.
– So far, right? – Yeah, just so far.
I’m just real curious. And I know like I’m sure is not
what you think about everyday and it might not come that easy. As you debate it for me– – For me it’s a
set up question– – Okay. – Because I know Carlos
Santana watching this right now. – Of course.
Carlos, thank you. (laughter) – We have a lot of
people to tweet. – You’re setting
me up right now. But I could, you know,
it’s just like Santana’s like,
“You better say me.” (laughter) You put me on the spot. – I know I’m putting
you on the spot. – It’s cool, it’s cool.
But it’s a good spot. – But I’m curious.
You don’t have to answer but I’m really curious and I actually I really want to know
hard work, I want the hard work one to be honest with you. – Everyone’s gonna
respect this answer. – Okay. Go ahead. – For me, the hardest working person that I’ve came across in my entire life so far will have to be
Michael Jackson. – Hmmm. – Because and this is
why tell you, right? So when you’re hard working
your like moving at the speed of light but somehow you’re aware
of everything going on with the culture and everything. You know everything
at real-time. ‘Cause you Michael, man. You’re like in Asia somewhere
so why are you calling me. And then you’re like, “Yo,
I was just watching this TV.” He’s like, “Who’s this guy?
Gone to November.” I think I am being pranked
and I hang up the phone. The first time.
Michael calls back. I’m like, “Holy shit, this
fucking Michael Jackson.” This guy is scheduled literally
shows every, every day somehow finds time to
land at Sony studio, come up the elevator, come see me sit down and
that whole day changed my life. Ever since that I just see
music totally different on the perception because I’m like,
“Yo, this Michael Jackson and he’s sitting there normally,”
and he’s giving me the rhythms. While he’s sitting there and I
know the dude is coming from, the flight has to be super long. And he’s in there and he’s like, “No, this is how I’m
hearing the bass. “This is how I’m
hearing the drums.” I’m hearing his whole body. And I’m like, “Yo.
That’s freaking Michael.” (laughter) – Dude when I’m telling you
I’m tripping, I’m tripping. So for me, I would say the
coolest, the coolest thing about Michael, man so then we in the
room with two of us and he’s like, “Man, you know your style reminds me
of when we were younger they took us to Jamaica there
was a guy he used to smoke a lot of weed.” (laughter) “Bob Marley?”
He was like, “No, no, no.” I said “Oh, Peter Tosh,”
and he’s like, “Yeah.” (laughter) – That’s unbelievable. – So for me that to me– – Was huge.
– It was huge. And then I was amazed by the
short time that I spent with Whitney Houston.
– Yes. – She was insanely incredible.
Jersey. – Yep.
– Jersey crew. And, man, Whitney’s
work ethics was crazy. I guess I was lucky because when
Clive Davis calls you and he’s like, “Yo, man, I need a
song for Whitney Houston.” – Yeah. – You start trembling, right? And then Whitney shows up. I’m like I know Whitney. I know your schedule and
what you’re going through. Show up on 24/7. – Ready to work?
– Insane. Like it’s the first record
they’re being recorded. And then you pinching
yourself you like, “No, no. That’s really Whitney.
‘The Bodyguard’,” and then she showing
up as if this is the first record she’s
about to record. – Because money and success
doesn’t change you, it exposes you.
– Facts. – It’s just so real. India?
– Bars. – [India] The last question was,
“Who do you think the greatest

From GR, I don’t
know his real name. How do you feel that social
media has shaped NASCAR is a good or bad as a driver or
good or bad as a fan also? – So our entire business
model is supported by corporate support.
– As is almost everybody’s. – Yeah, I guess that’s true. So you want to show
your personality but you can’t, it’s easy to second-guess your
personality if what if I have a sponsor that isn’t
going to like this. – To your point,
it’s even further. Football players shows his full personality in the contract duh, duh, duh. – Where I say our whole business
model is supported by corporate support is because it takes
that to run the NASCAR team. We can’t survive just
off the prize money. We have to have corporate
support or somebody has underwrite the program. – Yeah. Is there in NASCAR is there
some billionaires that have underwriting some programs? – Oh yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely. There’s plenty of them. And my team is, our car owner is a racer. He’s not making
money off our race team. – He loves it.
– He’s a racer. – He loves the game. – And so we search hard
for sponsors because it helps our team and because we’ve got a passion
for the sport we want to grow the sport want to grow our
partners but at the end of the day my car owner, he steps up. – At what percentage is it the
25% and down, actually in the bottom third of like
financial teams– – Yep. – How much time do you think the
driver and the core two or three top people spend
on the business part of hustling for sponsors? What percentage of time do you
spend on thinking about, trying to secure doing
appearance, like hustling? – Man, I mean I spend
every day thinking about it. I struggle it’s hard
to apply it sometimes. I don’t do enough,
I think too much. I probably don’t do enough. I travel Thursday to Sunday. By the time I’m can sit down in
my office can actually act on thoughts and can do things I’m
on a plane and heading to the racetrack where I have
to focus on the racecar. – Right. – There’s definitely a struggle of balancing and
executing, right. That’s where we talk about
content generation and things like that. Man, for me the struggle
isn’t I guess what content do I create, it’s how
do I execute it? – When a driver wins a big race
that’s a bottom 20% financial, like how rare is that? – It’s pretty rare but NASCAR
is really, they’re changing the rules in terms of how the cars
are built to help accommodate– – More parity?
– More parity because– – It’s the greatest
thing the NFL did. – Yeah, absolutely.
It’s hard. People don’t realize how
much goes into the racecar. And how many engineers it
takes and how many what adding, finding a secret bend in your
body that adds 50 pounds of down force, I can feel that. That’s this right here.
– Yeah. – Pushing down on your car. I can feel that in the
car, it makes me go faster. Some of the big teams they’re
just so much capable of finding five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten more of those things. So people don’t realize that
lack of parity is something that NASCAR’s very aware of that
they’re trying to improve and that’s what helps
teams like mine. At the end of the
day (inaudible). – Do you have a
sponsorship person on your team? – Yeah, oh yeah. We’ve got a
marketing staff, yep. – Very cool. Interesting stuff.

10 years. In that time I made
any business can and I know many small business
owners in my area. – You want me to sign something? – [India] I have $500, a computer,
internet, a car and a smartphone what is the best way
to start a referral and lead generating business? – To get more 500 bucks. Go to eBay and get
$5000 and then start. Hustle. If you have 500
bucks you need more. You don’t need more but
I’m very, very, very big on understanding that lead referral
you’re gonna have to run ads, you’re going to have a
create landing pages. That’s not what
you do with $500. – [Man] Thanks. – You build up $5,000 and I
think is $4500 worth of junk in your basement and your garage
or you’re auntie’s garage get that shit, flip it make
the cash, India.

– [India] What is the best
advice you give to someone that wants to start a small business but they’re still
working full time? – To do it after your hours. It was called Crush It! I wrote it in ’08 it came out in
’09, 7PM to two in the morning. This is all the same things. Are you guys willing to
put in the work and pay… Guys, are you willing to pay
the price for what you want? I want to have a business so I
can make lots of money and go on vacation and have lots of things. You want a 1% life but you’re not willing to put
in a 1% worth ethic. Work your job, come home and do I have to go
through it again? Do I have to make fun of
“Game of Thrones” and the Golden State Warriors
one more time. I’m more than happy too. You’ve got to give up all the
leisure stuff and you got to work from seven to
two in the morning. Start a business,
sell shit on eBay. I put that out there.
Everybody can do that. Become the wedding
photographer of America like I became the wine guy. Not everybody can do that. You’ve got to make the mental
switch in the same way that two years ago I said I’m going to
make, there was no tactic to get into better shape. Get in here.
Get it here. – What’s up? – Timing is unbelievable. – Good. I was just talking about my
health switch ironically you started around the time that I
was starting to smoke around it. – Yes. That’s right. – You’re an unbelievably
athletic kinda dude. – Sure. – You agree with me that it is
a mental switch not a tactic. – Oh yeah. – There’s no do this. It’s binary either
you’re mentally in the place I take it
seriously or you’re not. – Life does
whatever it’s gonna do. You just gonna decide what
you’re going to do around it. And that happens with
exercise too I think. So yeah just go
with it or you don’t. – One or zero. – One or zero.
– Thank you. (laughter) Ah, that hurt.
(laughter) Do you remember two years
ago when we went to Vayner Camp and he climbed
the wall in one second? Do you know about this?
– [India] Yeah. – Like this wall thing that
everybody was like, yeah. It took him one second. He’s a machine. Anyway. What’s the person’s, Ash?
– [India] Ash. – Ash, what’s my recommendation? Unless you’ve been in my cycle
for the last 30 or 60 days and I’m new to you I’m going to
get really pissed off at you. The work. And by the way, you may not be
good enough to make $10 million a year with the work
that you make $4,000 but it still gonna be the work. I can’t instill more talent into
you you can do a very good job trying to find white spaces and
figure out what you are good at. But once you put in the work. The talent the white
spaces that’s a coin flip. That’s a lot of DNA,
that’s a lot of luck, that’s a lot of skill. There’s a lot of things there but the work is always
part of the equation. And that’s the part
none of you want to do. Can we just finally have
this conversation together? You just don’t want to do it. You just don’t. You really don’t. You say you do but you don’t. You’d rather lay in bed
and sleep in for 15 hours. You’d rather play video games. You’d rather play
bullshit games on your phone. You’d rather watch TV
you’d rather watch this show. You’d rather go play beer pong. You’d rather do
something else than work. It’s hard. It’s hard. It’s hard. Which is why I push people to
do work around their passions because it makes a
little bit easier. If I had to do this
around bricklaying, I’d suck.

with basically no
recurring dollars? – Meaning like he just
doesn’t have a lot of money? – [India] Yeah. Yeah, I guess. – He doesn’t have
business model that’s recurring. It’s I get a wedding,
I shoot it, I get money. So how would you scale? First and foremost, if I’m a
wedding photographer, one of the first moves I would do is
very similar to the advice that I gave to designers, immediately
I would layer a tier of Snapchat filter capabilities. I believe every modern wedding
35 and under in America in the next 18 months is
gonna have a Snapchat filter. It’s going to be a big
thing like Karen and Rick. That thing. I would do modern marketing. One, I would go triple in,
quadruple in, all-in uploading all your photos five, seven a
day get approval do your thing on Instagram and
learn all 15 hashtags that matter on Instagram. The five most popular ones,
the five medium ones and five long tail ones
like #HamptonsWedding. You know, #RockawayWeddings. Your area that you shoot in. There is always that hall, that place that everybody gets married at using
that name and weddings. 15 hashtags against 5 to 7
photos every single day on Instagram, I think will
lead to tremendous business. The other thing that I would do
is I would try to guest blog on wedding sites about Instagram
and Snapchat because again if you’re watching my show you’re kind of aware of
these things, right? Use modern social creative as your linchpin to your
actual business. If you think about being a
photographer for weddings as a secondary thing and you think
about being great in Snapchat and Instagram around the wedding
industry, using it and then commentating on it you will
create a much bigger awareness funnel and then people are like,
“Oh, I want to use that girl, “that guy. They’re good and
Snapchat and Instagram and “wedding photos.
It’s 2016, 2017.” I would hustle. I would work. What I just said took work. You like that one, Andy? It’s real. Work three more, four more hours
a day to do it I just told you and amazing things happened. You know how many people are
like “Oh miraculously, I made “$500 this week on eBay because
instead of drinking beers on my “porch and watching
Thunder-Warriors I went in my “garage or when garage
sale-ing and I sold stuff.” Staphon smiled because he
watched all of Thunder-Warriors. – [Staphon] I sure did.
(laughter) – That’s why has $500
less in his pocket. But he has the memories
and enjoyed himself. – [Staphon] It was a great game.
– Escapism. Great games.

finished i hope they serve beer and how
lot has changed what you do it all again of course I
mean I’m not here right I was trying to do a lot of things differently but you
like what’s the number again in a noble shit
way because I’m doing this because I think you could you know there’s no
other way for me to be beautiful but it but knowing that like again that’s all I
was happy when you’re like a like I want to go to like a place like I know you’ve
been on so many different things like like in a very fucking real way like what’s the one core thing you think
you can do stiffer um i would realize a lot earlier that it’s not about me right
now even though I’m really good at doing that with my heart like my stories even
though about me if you read all my books we
don’t know very much about me at all you know a lot about things that
happened to me and you’ve laughed a lot of really enjoyed it but i don’t i don’t
burn the reader with nonsense about me because people reading my books want to
be entertained they’re not trying to learn deep about my emotions whatever
right but in the way I meet business decisions
early in my career I was arrogant and stupid and I made most amazing so you
have the leverage it so there was a movie made about my first
book that movie should have done a hundred million or more the box office
and it did like two million and because of my arrogance and hubris and he wanted
to impose certain things that your creative control over I mean yeah it really was like writing
is a very singular art right it’s also i got and I don’t have anyone else help to
the brush your book to make a movie it’s a whole group of people and that
even the smallest movie ever is still being people went into that place of
like look a lot of the guys on business like right holding tight and and I did
because of that I picked the wrong director i picked most of the wrong
production you pick Danny people no I with my pic guys you made it might
have been just my vision which would be better than water water because it
became a Frankenstein yeah it was a print yet exactly and and
I picked a lot of people who told me what I wanted to hear early on but had
their own agendas for and I was blind to it and I was so caught up in myself my
own ego that I screwed up a really massive opportunity for myself sure it’s going to change that and that
goes for a hundo different things well I know it’s funny people always ask
me my biggest mistakes and I was trying to come up with something because i
don’t like to think about my mistakes I actually like this respect my mistakes
it’s a very interesting thing like I recognize them right but I give them no fucking energy
like I really like cool mistake you go over there right to you but no question
my biggest mistakes of the things that I passed on and and done no like it was interesting to
think about like that did not happen right like I could have been a judge on
Top Chef I could have done all these other
business shows like there’s a lot of things you know that i always think
about the things that I haven’t done the investing right I’ve done well but
passing on twenty twice was the clear one window to
everybody but everybody having that all right let’s go daniela asks I’m an immigrant with an
entrepreneurial dream all my parents

about cars motorcycles because i love me
or my life in general I mean blocks because i love you too
what should i do because you say that you are so hard until 30 and you say
that people will respect your for your actions I dream being a successful entrepreneur
and I want to respect to but partial results or I saw work in silence I mean knowing camera and no social media what should i do very
pleased I want to go Arlene I Love You Man and anybody in
this planning is like you sorry for my english and aspiring keep pushing I’m
grant Reynolds gravity right even the editing with a little sometimes I was
even PC Steven real quick i’ll jump in Tucker please add anything you can do
this I i want to give you a definition i said
that i built a business until I was 30 32 and then I talked about business
stuff instead of being a twenty-year-old giving business advice your content
producer you’re talking about your opinions
that’s different if you were giving advice is a ten-year-old 20 or 30 year
old about building a business of building a motorcycle business or things
of that nature that’s very different than you
pontificating giving your two cents adding to culture social commentating so
I what I want to give you a definition is my whole way to your 30 to talk to
the world if you’re going to give advice I do think it should be predicated on
something advice you know giving your two cents we’re all entitled to our opinions
social commentating we’re all entitled to that making videos and commentating I think the journey of your life and
your thoughts and those things are super fine you clearly i mean i would push
very hard what I just saw give me a nice little
tingle keep pounding produce content use all the platforms use your youth and need of ability on
this world that we now live in musically snapchat produce for all mediums get it
out there yeah I mean it seems to me like he’s got
a lot of charisma right now I great totally agree on some producer so then ask yourself what we talked the
very first question what audience you want to talk to and what do they care
about and there’s a lot of young guys at that in Colombia who care about cars and
motorcycles and that stuff if you become the guy who speaks to all of them that
put you in a great position to start a lot of different days before i can tell
that’s exactly right where i can tell you nothing there’s a lot of people are actually
just curious what youth corps life and culture and Columbia’s like I was
watching that like looking the background like I learned something
about the kids like I actually think just your life is actually interesting
to so many people and nobody can you know if you’re not in Colombia you can
produce content around Colombians of use your advantages
that so many people think or disadvantage that’s exactly the man so what is going to get you get a
parting shot hear anything you want to

bite the bullet and accept investor
funding ATP this is a tough question for everybody every situation is different
this is why I struggle with third because the truth is I can’t give you an
answer without really knowing your business from knowing you everyone of
you that think they’re deciding between do I take on investment or do I continue
to bootstrap has so many other variables where are your personal relationship how
sick and tired of you are a new of bootstrapping you know how big of a
business you have way too many of you are taking on investment when your
business can only be worth three to five million dollars and then you’re giving
up such a big percentage in your patience over 35 years would mean you a
lot more money than you getting a percentage of the only 325 million in
revenue business so you know the truth is that every business has its own
variables what I will tell you is that I think money will get tight soon I think
the living at fairly good times even the most people don’t realize that’s pushing
startup culture though the mass economics in America are ok the startup
culture the people that are building businesses in the ship in an environment
that would watch a show like this have had a pretty good friend and I think
that I think that will dry up shortly and so I think that I think that if you
need the money you should go get it immediately if you don’t need the money
and it’s more about it to accelerate or do I keep grinding I
think that comes down to the individual and their situations at home life their
level of patients how much they enjoy the process a kind of alluded to like
almost sabotaging myself on daily be the other day cuz I love the process so much
so I hold off on gratification Kevin asked how crucial do you think an
absolute truth product and really good

pick and choose which client you work
with based on how they do their business yes I’m so the answer is yes but many
times I don’t so you know I’m running a business I’m not and now I would have
had clients potentially come through here which I thought were in an industry
that would cause too much in a very honest in a politically correct world in
a world that we have a lot of you know I don’t wanna called liberal thinkers like
there’s absolutely things that you have to do a CEO that you make decisions do
business with based on what you think is the best in the business for me in
reversing pre-orders what’s the best interest for everybody looks like my
responsibilities everybody here then is in essence the logo and then my
feelings are third and so I’ve actually not taken on business that I thought
would not be in the best interest of the feelings and emotions and thoughts and
strategies of my employees though they might not have 100000% aligned with me
but say I was 80% there but I thought the collective 100% there and I take
that responsibility and so you know I never judge based on how they run their
social media marketing because that’s what we’re there to fix if that’s where
he’s going and I don’t blame company like you know you have one rogue CEO
that makes this wine company in bad company but then if she or he is fired
then they are a good company so I also try to quantify that but it went through
my mind I actually need to look the people you surround yourself with is an
indicator to who you are mention the truth and so my clients are
representation of who I am but I have no problem having alcoholic brands sugar
water like you know things that scare me I’m not hyper sensitive but if you make
you know bombs and that’s not a real example or for the Patriots like for
example I would never take pictures shot what’s your advice for health care docs
wanna add values and social media to
