– Hey Gary and Gary’s crew. Good evening from
Lincoln, Nebraska. I’m Blake Bowland actually
enjoying a Malbec currently. Pretty good one from Argentina. But was thinking about a question for the
#AskGaryVee show. Specifically one pertaining
to the #AskGaryVee book. Gary, in the book you talk about
how you believe our brains and what they’re capable of are
vastly underestimated and that science has yet to prove really
what they’re truly capable of. You also mention as an example
that a few years ago you told your brain you didn’t
want to get sick any more. Then you attributed the fact
that you haven’t gotten sick to when you told your brain that you didn’t want to
get sick any more. Now I recently stumbled
upon the Law of Attraction. I’d heard of it before but I really dug in depth
in a audiobook. If you’re familiar with it,
and for those of you who aren’t familiar with it the Law of
Attraction basically states whatever you focus on
will manifest itself. So if you focus on the things
you want to accomplish and you believe you can accomplish them,
they will manifest themselves over time whereas if you focus
on the things you don’t want those things will also
manifest themselves. So the point is to focus
on the things you do want. So Gary, I’m wondering about
the relationship between your beliefs and the Law of
Attraction and if you could explain how we in Vayner Nation
can leverage those concepts to better live our lives both personally and
in our businesses. So, Gary, really looking forward
to your response here and thank you so much for
taking my question. God speed. – Blake, it’s a really
interesting question. Yes, I believe in some of that
stuff and I don’t know how much of the Law of Attraction is
different than “The Secret”. Sounds very similar. These books sell like crazy
because, boy, does it sound super fun right now if you’re
sitting on Facebook Live or watching episode 232,
is that what we’re on? – [Eliot] Yeah. – And you’re like,
“Wait a minute, “if I just say I want a yacht “or if I just say I want
to be a pop singer “or I just want to say
I’m gonna be an influencer.” I don’t know what either of
those two books say but let me give you what I’ve done. Go ahead, please, you know. – [Eliot] The Law of Attraction,
“The Secret” is basically based off of the Law of Attraction.
– Okay. – So the Law of Attraction
is the, it’s like the religion. And “The Secret” is a
book which is basically– – Plays on it? – It’s very huckster-y
from the Law of Attraction. – Got it. So listen, I believe in it, all of your actions
have to then map to it. It’s clouds and dirt. That’s my version of it. I don’t know if anybody
talks about the dirt. I do.
I do. I know all, you know,
cynical newbies are like, “What’s he gonna sell me on?” Nothing. I’m gonna sell you
on the following: hard work. And don’t buy my hard work
course ’cause there isn’t one. There’s no hard work sessions. There’s no hard work e-book. There’s just hard work. My answer to this is I believe
in it but then you have to make your actions map it. I want to buy the New York Jets. I think about it, I want it,
I start building VaynerMedia, there’s an opportunity to sell
my company, sell a piece of my company to
thousands of entities. All of them pass. I then sell it for
less to one entity. An owner of an NFL team. That’s called putting your
money where your mouth is. I didn’t do that by accident. I knew what kind of life I had. I could’ve dated and married a
bunch of different people but when I found what I needed
for what I really knew I wanted, I went in that direction. Right? I talk about HR driven culture
and this and that and some people be like, “Oh, you got
a bad review on Glassdoor “or four or seven.” Yes, that’s fine but come here. Watch what I do everyday. You guys know my
calendar, you see what I do. You know what’s on
the back end of this. So my belief in the
Law of Attraction is Blake, believe in it. Believe in it but then you have
to execute against your belief. If you want to be an e-sports
celebrity, shouldn’t you spend every one of your minutes
selling shit on eBay, buying a ticket and then going
to the e-sport con not like, “Oh, I can’t go to
the e-sports con.” – [Eliot] Okay. – Work. Work. By the way, on that note, we
got to pick up the Musical.ly. You’re a killer
on it, I want it. I’m so into it. That work, work,
work one is so fun. – I was thinking,
I was thinking about it. – I was saying it
right now with that. That tone. Work. It’s work. There’s gonna be nothing else. Yes, work smart. I can hear the cynicism already. I can read the comment
from Sally right now, “But you got to work smart.” No shit, Sally. I’m leaving Rick
alone for a minute. You know, no shit. Yes, it’s better to have a
better strategy and to work smarter but
here’s the punchline, nothing happens without it. And I mean a lot of it
and the more you want, the more work you got to put in. The bigger your ambition, the
more you got to punch that clock and you got to give up shit,
fun and leisure and laziness and rest and all of it. So my belief is it’s real. I live it. But my actions map to it. It’s like intent. I talk a lot about intent. Some of the people
internally razz me about it. They’re like, “Yeah, cool but
intent without your backing “up the actions is whack.” And I’m like, “I respect that.” But it starts with intent so
I believe it probably starts with visualizing what you want
or the Law of Attraction or saying it or putting it in
the universe, fine. Fine. I believe in that. I live it. The problem is
I disproportionately out execute everybody else I know that talks about it and then does
nothing about it. You know how many of you tweeted
me that you’re gonna buy the Cavs or the
Dolphins or the Rams. People tweet me all day long
that they’re buying another sports team and then I go
look at what they’re doing, I’m weird. Just let’s establish
something, I’m very weird. I’m so broken in the way that
I’m so utterly competitive, that I’m like, I live for it. You know, I live
for competition. And so when somebody tweets
me that they’re going to buy the Rams first, I waste seven of my
minutes auditing their lives. (group laughter) Let me tell all of
you something right now. I haven’t seen the person
that’s buying the Rams before I buy the Jets. People like to talk, show me. ‘Cause that’s the best part. Because when you live on
execution, all those days you have where people say you’re
staging garage sales or you’re not gonna do this or
you’re not gonna do that, you know what the best part is? 2023. 2023 because then you
get to say, now what? And 2047, that’s more fun. I’ll let you guys all debate and pontificate and I’m
gonna do it too. We’re all talking, I just want to re-watch these
videos and comments. Let’s go read everybody’s
comments that I could never build VaynerMedia. Let’s go read everybody’s comments that
Wine Library TV was a farce. Let’s go read all
those comments that I’m a flash in the pan. Let’s read them all. Let’s fucking read ’em. (group laughter)

So why did you do it? Did you have a deeper purpose? Did you not want to let yourself down or let someone else down? – I don’t want to let anyone down. Nothing down. – And then how, what did you do specifically? What steps did you do when you were at your lowest […]

So why did you do it? Did you have a deeper purpose? Did you not want to let yourself
down or let someone else down? – I don’t want to
let anyone down. Nothing down. – And then how, what
did you do specifically? What steps did you do when
you were at your lowest moment. – Yep, let’s do it. During that point,
what did I do? Is I did what I preach to all of
you which is I put in the work. I gave up all my weekends and
holidays in high school because I knew I had to pay that price
because I wasn’t gonna do the I’m gonna go to school, meet
some good kids at Stanford and Brown and Ivy League school. Make some relationships and
that’s gonna be my springboard. I was gonna start with no
relationships and in the gutter and I was gonna have to prove it
and I would have to show up and meet everybody like I did in my
30s but in my teens and 20s, I was gonna have to work. And so what I did was to the
extreme of anybody I’ve met that had options, some people lose
their father, mother, welfare but anybody who had some
options, I punted every leisure activity in my life. Nothing, no weekends,
no vacations, zero, nothing. Nothing. Like we’re making jokes about
the seven days, I didn’t take a single, and by the
way, it’s my truth. I didn’t take a
single vacation day. Never and I’m sure you
worked on your side hustle, I just love you and
I didn’t want to razz you. None. Zero, zero, zero. All my high school friends,
gone, because I wasn’t around. All my college friends,
post-college, gone. I’d see them a little bit. I love those guys but gone. Girlfriends, nothing. All-in. So what did I do? I worked. I worked to such an extreme
level that when I push you on work, I don’t even ask you to
do 50% of what I did and I guarantee you’ll fucking win.

– Hey Gary, Zack here. Question referring back to
episode 156 when preparing employees for leadership how
do you foster leadership with rising stars or unsung heroes? Thanks for everything you do.
‘Preciate it. – Zack, I think this is
really interesting question. You know what’s really funny
to me is it’s a funny where my brain goes on this one which
is actions trump everything. Meaning you prepare them by
giving them opportunities to show that they can. I think one of things that
I’m most proud of is, for the intensity that I come with, for
as much as I want to happen, I would tell you that if you
audited everybody here in this room and everybody the 700
people across five offices across here it is stunning
how little I micromanage. If you want to foster leadership
you have to put people in a position to be leaders. I don’t box you in,
I don’t box Garrett in. I critique when I give him the
room to win or lose if he loses in the game that he’s playing,
I’ll articulate what the shortcomings were,
what the opportunities are. So I think leadership is
only accomplished or, let me rephrase, the prepping of
something is only accomplished when you actually do. This is where I get really
mad about entrepreneur school. Entrepreneur school is
like reading about push-ups. Dunk wants to challenge me in to
some crazy weight thing of who can bench more,
whatever you’re up to and so what’s the
preparation for that? I can’t read about
bench press technique. I got to go do it. You got to put in the work. I’ve been working out
every day since then. Dunk has not. I’m getting more prep. Now, he may have
more natural talent. He just might be stronger. He’s definitely much younger and
should in theory win this but he won’t because I’ll out-prepare
him and so that’s the punchline. Prep and so whether
they’re an unsung hero, whether they’re the
most shining star. I always worry at Vayner that
people think the people that PR themselves or the most loud and
charismatic are the ones who are gonna get the opportunities
and I’ve been really enjoying building Vayner over
the last five years. Especially the last two years
’cause the smartest people here are like, “Hey, wait a minute. “Look at this person winning and “they don’t even really
interact with Gary. “I’ve never even
heard of that person.” That’s the role and
responsibility I have. That I’m not just pandering to
the easiest move and so you give people opportunity. Some are loud about it. “I got this.” Others just quietly go and do it
but here’s the punchline whether you’re like me and you talk a
ton is shit and you back it the fuck up every fuckin’ time,
that’s a win or you say nothing but you back it the
fuck up every time. It’s the second part that
matters so put those people in a position to succeed and then
watch if they’re doing it. Call their bluff,
give ’em a shot. Push them harder than
they think that they can do. Believe in them more than they
believe in themselves and create the framework and the
opportunities to do that. Understand it is in your upside
as a leader for them to fail and you figure out if they can do it versus that task
being done correctly. I prefer that we lose a client,
lose a client, money out of my pocket but I learned something
about the leaders that I’m thinking about
going to battle with versus me micromanaging it, never learning about their
opportunity as leaders and then getting the client
for two more years. That’s called scale. That’s called auditing. That’s called how
you build stuff.

It’s your boy Zain coming from
Sydney, Australia and welcome to the show, ET. I believe this is a huge issue
for a lot of people in life and my question is where does where does motivation stop
and execution begin? I want to take this opportunity
to thank you both for being huge influences in my life and I can
proudly say that I wouldn’t be the man I am today if
it wasn’t for you two. – That’s very nice.
– I appreciate that, man. – Z-squared I’ll tell you that,
the amount of people that come in and write notes all day,
little notebooks of motivation, spend ungodly amount of hours, the amount of hours that we’ve spent watching
each other’s stuff, I don’t want to speak for you but my gut is zero.
Zero full hours. – He said it. – You know, I don’t know,
I don’t know but here’s what I can tell you some
people need to be motivated. For me, I didn’t. I got a chip on my shoulder and
that thing will drive me until the day I’m in the ground. I’m so motivated it’s
coming out of my face. So I don’t need that. So I can’t speak for everybody, everybody’s got
different versions. But here’s what I can tell you
there’s a sign in here that is driving everybody crazy. It’s been brought up like
four times in the last week. It says, “Ideas are shit.” It hangs in our office and it’s
driving crazy and the reason I don’t finish my statement in that sign is I want people to think. ‘Cause the sign actually reads
if it was in full entirety, “Ideas are shit
until you execute them.” Where does
motivation stop and start? Everybody’s got a different
answer but here’s what I can tell you; It’s really easy to be
motivated either you’ve got it or you can watch it. It’s really hard to execute. It is the variable
that separates people. People are always gonna tell me
every day, every day I roll up on people they’re like yo,
I’m gonna buy the Seahawks and you’re gonna buy the
Jets and I’m like great. Can’t wait to see you. People are always telling me
that going to do this, this and this and that and you know what
I do, I don’t know if you do this I ask a lots of them to
email me in 60 days, in 90 days in a year and you
know how many do? Goose egg. (clicks tongue)
People talk shit. And I don’t know where it stops
or starts but I know that most of you, 99% of you aren’t going to do anything about it
and that sucks. – I’m with Gary, inhale, exhale
it’s like asking me which one is which, I don’t know
which one is which. When you inhale, you exhale. I don’t know which ones first
which one is second but you’re not executing
you’re not motivational. I don’t know what the other
stuff is you’re doing but real motivation I don’t know which
one comes first but it makes you do something. If you’re not doing anything
you’re not really motivated. – Do you think it’s a
little bit Star Wars like? I just went somewhere weird. I’m sitting here I’m like you
know, the truth is don’t you think motivation comes
a little bit from a little bit of darkness? This is my point, this is fun
to do this in his room and I’ve been talking to a bunch of
female entrepreneurs the other day and some
leaders in my company. There’s a lot of
mixed genders in here. And again, I’m so scared to go
here because I understand where I’m going I don’t know, I think having,
being a minority, being an underdog
is an advantage. I can’t not believe that. I genuinely believe
I’m making this for my son, Xander, I think you’re soft. I think you’re watching this
right now, six years now I think you’re gonna text me in
a few minutes and be like “Yo, I’m going to kill you,”
which I hope because I hope you have that in you but the truth is, I just believe
that Andy’s in a disadvantage. I just genuinely believe that. I don’t know how else to say it? Now, by the way,
that’s me stereotyping. If Andy’s lucky to be motivated,
something bad happened, I don’t know his dynamic with
his brother but I think being a younger brother’s a
great one, right? Show me a kid who walks in here and says, I’m like
what’s your story? Well, I grew up super rich
and white and it’s awesome. I’m like keep going, they’re
like well my older brother was a star football
player and I wasn’t. I’m like okay now right
I’m like show me something. – Absolutely. – I think, I think a lot of you
are not motivated because you’re lucky and what I mean by that is
you’re lucky in different ways. You haven’t dealt with adversity
that much and by the way it’s not a black-and-white
thing, girl-boy thing– – Absolutely, absolutely.
– you just had great parents. You had a good upbringing. Life just didn’t give you that
much adversity and so, I don’t know,
I want to slice throats. – Yeah. – Like I don’t know.
My stuff is super evil. I’m being really honest
with you guys today. I go to the conference
everybody’s in the green room friends, friends. I’m like I’m gonna
slice your throat. – No question. – You’re gonna go up there
and people are gonna clap. I’m gonna up there and
people are gonna hate you after. They’ll be like why did I even
clap for the guy before me. That’s what’s
going through my mind. – No question.
– It’s just not a nice thing. – Yeah, no question. – Do you know why people
hate when I have guests on? It just happened right now.
I interrupt. – You’re supposed to, Gary.
– I can’t help it. – You’re ready to go. I was an was gonna say for
me, everybody’s like you’re so engaged with your son,
you’re so engaged your daughter. That’s because my
father wasn’t there. I’m not a good father. I just didn’t have my father so every day I wake
up that drives me. I’m not gonna be him. Every time I get on the mic it’s
like my people didn’t take all of us talk
nobody’s taking action. So I’m with you
it’s the dark side. It’s the I didn’t have,
I ate out of trash cans. I told the kids yesterday with
the NBA I said look everybody can get but can you keep. So, for me, I say I’m not into
money I just don’t want to go back to being homeless. I don’t want to each
out of trash cans again. I don’t want to sleep
in abandoned buildings. It’s the darkness that
gets me up and drives me. – I genuinely believe the
worst thing in life is to be somewhere, grow and
then go backwards. Now, I’m weird because I’m
also weirdly romantic to it. That Rocky where he
loses everything, he’s back. There’s a part of me was always
like, ooh, if I lose everything but then I’ll rise back and then I’ll realize who my
real friends were. Andy will not want to
be my friend any more. Good, when I rise back,
I’ll be like fuck you. – Andy will be there.
– You think so? – I think so. – Let’s go to the next one.
– Andy, you owe him. – [Voiceover] Aaron Perez asks,
“En route to self-awareness,

– [Voiceover] David asks,
“How do you overcome objections “based on perceived lack of
experience, looking young or “doubting your ability?” – We both had this too. Go ahead, you go
first on this one. – I think that there is nothing,
you can’t argue with something genuine and I think if you
care and you’re serious about whatever it is you are doing and
you’re really passionate about it no one can
argue against that. And when you’re young you could
be three years old and you can look, you can actually look at
the three-year-old boy but when you speak from the heart there
is no age to that and I think people will respect that
until nobody can argue some thing that is real. – Let me go in an
interesting direction. Dying to hear what
you think on this. I think it just doesn’t
matter and let me explain. I actually think that a lot
of people didn’t take my wine advice when I was
24 and looked seven. I think a lot of people even
10 years ago didn’t take my business advice ’cause I didn’t
look the part or this and that. I actually think is the question
India, audience, Luis, everybody that’s actually a post game. What I mean by that is it’s
just I’m a broken record. It’s results. When you come with passion and
both of us come with passion da da da da da. If we lose we were full of shit. If we win we were passionate. So what I’m fascinated by with
entrepreneurship and the game is it actually doesn’t
matter in the beginning. Somebody’s gonna
give you a shot. If you knock on 1,000 doors
there’s people that say yes. I say yes all the time to
things that make no sense. DRock. You know, I do it– (laughter) it’s true. I do it all the time. Winners do that. It’s really funny winners are
the one that put winners on. – Yeah. – But winners also deal
with a lot of losing players. But winners and optimists
are always going to give you that shot. Right? One episode I definitely saw
in the background working with Lizzie, I mean I know TVs a lot
more staged but I’m sure it’s replication or maybe real
I don’t know how you guys rolled you go to that Nets game.
– Yeah. – That dude, that’s a big dude. Winners get, Stephen Ross. One of the biggest developers in the world is my
business partner. Winners give people at-bats. And so I would answer this
question in saying look, 90 out of 100 people are gonna say no
the game is proving those 90 wrong later. I got an email the other day
from a former client that makes me want to fly. I hate to think that I am
built on I told you so but I’m build on I told you so. I love that feeling.
I love that feeling. It’s a great feeling. And I just think that that’s
how people should be driven. Recognize that your, there’s
nothing you and I are going to say that’s going to change
somebody who wants to say no to that person because they look
young and don’t have experience. It’s not about who says no it’s
about who says yes and then you have to deliver.
– Yes. – And then when you deliver
everybody looks back and says, “Of course, you had passion.” There’s a million people running
around that had passion but then they ended up becoming losers or scam artist because
they didn’t deliver. – And I’ll tell you something, I think being
young is one of best assets someone can have now
because when you have that passion and when you have that
conviction about whatever it is that you believe in that you’re
pitching or selling or whatever it is that you’re doing the fact
that you look young and there’s a beauty to it. I think now like you’re
saying it’s changing. – Well, it’s a good
era for young too. With Zuckerberg and the
social networks and Snapchat and Evan Spiegel. Young has never been more
professionally accepted. Anybody complains about being
young now doesn’t realize that my, I’m 40, my generation young
men for the first 10 years of your business
career you you ate shit. – You have a video
about old people feeling– – The reverse.
– The reverse. – Thank you very much. Alright, lets go. (laughter) Oh video.

– [Mark] We got another question
here as well what’s the best attitude to have if
someone mimics your idea? – Great. Tech meetup van. You don’t own this idea. – No.
– Not at all. – What are you the first two

Confessions, I mean come on. – Yeah course. – Be better. – Yep. Yep. – Get better guests, ask better
questions, execute better, put up better micro-content. Nobody gets to own
these ideas, guys. – We were never worried. People always say to us
what’s to stop the Startup Tram? – You’re not going to win
because of The Startup Van. It’s a shtick. It’s a cool thing that’s
(censored) cool, I like it by the way. But how you interview and who
you get and what you do with that content is. I’m not the first guy to
document my life and do a vlog. I’m not the first guy in social. It’s never the first,
it’s the best. It’s never the
first is the best. – The best. – Yeah, the best.
– The best. Do you know what I mean? And guess what, you and
I don’t get to decide we’re the best. – Yeah, I know.
– They do. Got it? – That’t the thing.
– Yeah, yep. – Since DailyVee came
out people can see,

“Gary, have you ever dropped the ball “on making a decision due to over thinking it?” – Chris I would say that my… I almost need her to repeat it, but I think I got it. Actually I sent it to her so I got it. I got it. The reason I sent it to […]

“Gary, have you ever dropped the ball “on making a decision
due to over thinking it?” – Chris I would say that my… I almost need her to repeat
it, but I think I got it. Actually I sent it to her so I got it. I got it. The reason I sent it to India, was I say this Chris in the feed, is I’m actually normally making mistakes in the other direction. So I tend not to overthink
at all, I’m very intuitive, and most of my business mistakes have been to act too quickly
and then have to bail out. I have found that speed trumps everything, and so for me when I
weigh opportunity costs, I’d rather start something both money and time if
I intuitively feel it and then let it fail six
months or a year later. New concepts I have for
Vayner, new divisions, new types of wine’s for Wine Library, things I’ve done for my own brand and I wanna push so many of you for this I really wanna push a lot of you. So many of you are not taking action because you overthink it, you
overthink it, you overthink it I always say deploy your resources that you can afford to lose. A lot of you don’t have the dollars, I used to not have the dollars, but I had my time. The reason I punted at my twenties is because I didn’t have money, or I didn’t have a lot of it. You know a lot of you hear about the three
million dollar business, I love when people try to rag on me and say oh if everybody had a
three million dollar business I mean every single kid that gets 500,000 dollars in startup which was millions have more
dollar resources than I had. We didn’t have dollars, the business did three million dollars, it made 300,000 dollars in profit in selling three million
dollars worth of liqour and then it still had to pay expenses. My dad took home his salary, like we had no money. But I had my time, and I would test things, and I stayed up. I didn’t punt my twenties
for kicks and giggles, I pumped them because the only
resource I had was my time, and so I had to work 18 hours a day because that’s what I had. Got it? So taking action, especially
if it doesn’t cost you money and it’s just time is
always a better answer than pondering or thinking or trying to decide if this is gonna work, you don’t know. The learning of the failure is as equal to the victory of it. The thing’s I’ve learned in my 20 years, the reason I’m so advanced
as a business person in my own mind is not
only have I worked a lot, but this work hard work
smart thing I’ve worked smart and one of the smartest things I do as an entrepreneur and a business person is I do things so I can understand
whether they work or not. You can’t just sit here and say “Is this going to work or not?” Debate it your whole life, never do it, and then not know the answer. Like no. One of two great things happen, one you did it and it worked and you made money and you won and you got accolades and it worked Wine Library TV, it worked. The classes I was gonna do, I’m trying to think of things that failed another thing is that I
just forget them so quickly. I’ll work on this, you know India I wanna do top 11 things I did on Wine Library that didn’t work. Local van delivery,
at scale I never did. So one of two things happen, either it works and you make money the email service it worked, or it doesn’t and you’re like well I’m not gonna do that again. This whole indecisiveness
when you can do it, if you don’t have the
money you can’t do it so what the fuck are you
thinking about it for? “You know I wonder if I buy
a building in New York City will it go up in value? I wonder.” The answer is it’s gonna work, but guess what I don’t have
400 million dollars liqiud to buy the fucking Empire State Building, type of building because
you can’t even buy that for 400 million. This is an interesting question, the answer is no, I’ve never failed because
of indecisiveness. I’ve only failed because I’ve done stuff, but I’d argue that I didn’t
really fail I learned, I might have micro failed but I macro won. – [Voiceover] J Scot asks, “Gary do you expect your own
employees to work like you do?

are in the field I don’t currently want
to work in Lodi there’s a lot of things you can do you can use your career and
your diploma as a proxy to people and show them that you’re able to accomplish
things that you have set your goals out to do while acknowledging that you are
now shifting those goals in your life the truth is nobody’s going to penalize
you for making a shift into a new arena you just have to consider you just have
to convince that decision maker that all the skills and drive and talent that you
deployed there are going to be acceptable in this new world you know
let’s just say for example that you made your entire career living in the wine
business as a merchant and then decided that you wanted to run one of madison
avenue’s most premier digital shops that would take some convincing and you do
that by convincing and then you do it by doing and so much like many people have
had different careers and they’ve gone from much like you know what you’re like
the rock the rock was a successful wrestler but we didn’t think he was
going to be a superstar movie actor until he did it so in the beginning he
had to commence decision-makers directors producers agents the market
that he was capable and then you get your at-bats I marky mark is now one of
the great successful entrepreneur people whose name is Mark Wahlberg he’s a
superstar he’s a businessman we didn’t think marky mark was gonna cross Justin
Timberlake was in a boy band with some curly ass hair didn’t think he’d be one
of the great musicians of our generation or some did it so I would say that it’s
very easy you just have to think about this I think it’s going to be quite easy
for you to come in somebody to give you a job or give you money for your startup
I think the next part way more interesting can you actually do it
because everything is built against that just because you want to go into
something else doesn’t mean you’ll be successful so if you don’t count on it
and a short that you can do it don’t worry about commencing and everybody
just convince somebody because then you’re on the record just the commands
one person that you can make videos and then you’re on the record and neither
you make it and they’re good for you make them and their shit good piece near commencing one person I
did there was consent like in the

the evil said now you know because of course bro how are you sure
they keep that mentality so when they get to this point in life they keep the
power mentality to ensure success thanks so much for the question also lot more
clearly a branding genus you said power broke so many times and i think im gonna
say power broke 50 more times in like if you keep saying it just becomes real you
know why I actually think it’s impossible to do I think it’s very hard
to teach broke I don’t know how to instill I mean I’m forget about all my
investments I’m scared of having the teach my kids that because they’re going
to be in the power of rich that’s right missions and call you out your soft so
you know i mean look i mean it’s very hard to instill those virtues and i dont
know that I’ve been successful as an entrepreneur who’s become an investor in
stealing that into my investment investments at all I think what I’ve
done well it is I’ve recognized what they may be good at all you’re not the
power of hostile and broken all that but you know what you are you came from a
rich family you are seriously educated and I think you really understand
operations and your number two looks like they’re pretty hungry and broke
away like I really haven’t I don’t think it’s fair to to think that we can
instill the power broke in the same way that I don’t think anybody can instill
into me the hashtag power prep school right like like it’s just not part of
that DNA and so i think i think i think that’s a challenge as a matter of fact I
don’t read though I’d tried an audio book on my vacation at a bad time speed
it was pretty cool so I’m really interested in how you approach this with
the book and like how much like how do you how you instill hostile
or things of that nature has been interesting as outside investing it’s
been very hard for me internally I do you think you can do it
I’ve been very in the same way probably mom and dad EJ probably instill that in
to us right cause they work hard good in the same way do you think he’s also been
so hard he doesn’t let you doing so in the same way they think my parents
showed me work ethic and it was instilled in me I definitely see why I
think India works harder today get captured at run into you truly think
that you work harder forget about smarter do you think you work harder
because you’ve been so close to the bomb the son of hustle right after the son of
what what what do you think do you think you work harder because of it yeah I don’t use it rubs off from 100%
power broke all day I do so I think as an investor and I’ve empathy I know what
you do it’s on TV again it like it’s hard to do that from afar close in the
same way I think I’ll be able to pull it off my kids I think I think as an
organization for a lot of you that have 3479 12 employees I do think you can
still it and it’s a very funny way you do it by doing it only actions actions
actions the only way that you can do it is by you the leader of a company acting
a short way people can spend enough time with your investments and I think one of
the ways that are you crazy I actually have figured out a weird way to do it
but called daily be I had multiple people that are investments of my email
me about the first three episodes just 13 episodes billion like you might be
working harder to me and I haven’t made it yet and I’ve got like so actions released two subpar product or service
if so why did you learn from it tons of
