– [Voiceover] Eddie
asks, “What three values “do you hold highest in life?” – Eddie this is a great question. You know, I don’t know
if I have three values that I hold, I’ll just
start rattling off things that I really appreciate. You know, I think the
first, you know, thing, and I don’t know if this is in any order, but I’m a humongous fan of patience. Lack of patience has caused so many people from not achieving the
upside that they deserve, and that kills me. You know, the value of (spits) this. Word is bond, I think really matters. I think, you know, having
somebody in your life that you just know that you can trust because when they say
they’re gonna do something, they do it, and then in a weird way, contradicting that, but not really, I’m a huge fan of somebody who’s nimble and empathetic, because when
you really think about it, I, for example, am telling
you that I love (spits) word is bond, but then when somebody actually (spits) does that,
and doesn’t deliver on it, in a weird way, I’m okay with it. And I’m very attracted to
that own characteristic within myself, because
I think I understand that even though you really wanted to, you know, something
happened that made you not, and I want to dig into why, and so I think nimbleness, or empathy is
very, very, very important. I think people that are grateful
are extremely attractive, you know, nothing’s more ugly to me than somebody who’s spoiled, and I think, you know, at some level,
hypocrisy is the thing I hate the most in the world. So, the opposite of that,
which is maybe (spits) that, or I don’t know, but those
are things that come to mind. – [Voiceover] Chris asks,
“Has the selfie replaced

– [Voiceover] Simplybeingmum asks, are you a morning person? – I am not a morning person. I sleep like a brick. Like, I mean, I literally believe that somebody could break into my home, stab me in the leg with a knife and still then continue
to steal everything out of my apartment. I just sleep hard. And so when I wake up,
it’s just not great. That being said, no
question, I’m waking up a hell of a lot better
because of my working out. A lot of times I’ve been talking about how I haven’t picked up energy but what I have picked up
is the ability to wake up on this five and half,
six hour kind of window that I sleep, which I
know a lot of you think I sleep three or four hours. Heck, I’d sleep seven or eight if I can really like, when and if I can… By the way, and this is a
whole another long thing that we gotta get into eventually, it’s not about how much you sleep. It’s what you do while you’re awake. So, a couple things for
the question of the day.

– [Voiceover] YaboyLV asks
what is your favorite pair of sneakers of all time? – That’s a nice little segue
from the last question. My favorite pair of sneakers hands down is the 1985, I think,
Patrick Ewing Adidas. I’m a huge Knicks fan. Let me tell you my all-time
hated pairs of shoes. Every single Air Jordans of all time because I hate Michael Jordan. And I love Patrick
Ewing and the 85 Adidas.

– [Voiceover] Lyndon asks in the first 30 seconds
of someone meeting you, what do you reveal about yourself? – Lyndon, this is a great question and I’m gonna give you a great, I’m declaring a great answer alert. (trumpets blaring) I can probably get somebody to consume something from me
within the first 13 seconds let alone 30 seconds because
it’s not what I’m gonna say, it’s how I feel. See, words are great but
energy’s a whole different game and I win on that game, right. And so within the first 30 seconds, I’m gonna establish and
have always established from my entire life from first grade, first 30 seconds in to
any business meeting to when I’m in a big off site when everybody goes around the room and says, “I’m Staphon.
I work at VaynerMedia.” But then I do my, “I’m
Gary, I’m a Jets fan.” Like, I within 30 seconds, set the tone vibe wise, if I don’t get to say something which is rare for me, not to say something within the first 30 seconds. I establish that I’m different. Yeah, I’m different. – [Voiceover] YaboyLV asks
what is your favorite pair

what does hustle look like for you now versus five or even 10 years ago? Why has it changed? – This is such a great question. Thanks Harvest for it. And I’m gonna expand on it. I’m gonna long form on, I was even talking to DRock and Staphon that this might have to turn into a three to five minute video movie because I’m starting to
have this weird realization. I’ve been talking to Mike, Trainer Mike, about this during the workouts which is like, wait a minute. Was I really hustling at 25 to 30? I wasn’t into email culture yet nor was the wine industry nor was society. The store closed at nine. You know, after a while 7:30 felt like the appropriate time to leave. You know, I had girlfriends
that I lived with. Brandon, my best friend
who runs Wine Library lived above me. And like, you know, I can
sit here and think about, you know, 8:30 at night
on a Wednesday at 26 playing like Monopoly on GameCube and that is just not even remotely close in the equation at this point. You know, it’s really
fun to be a businessman instead of an athlete because your prime is so much further down the path and you have so much
more time to get there. Wait no, look athletes,
a lot of those people, those kids are, you know, hustling in Junior High and High School and so maybe the timing’s a
little bit different but, you know, the truth is my hustle today is at an all-time high
especially since June 7th when I’ve incorporated working out which has driven me to
wake up so much earlier. Not that I have more energy
’cause I was high on sugar, I’ve come to realize but, I can tell you this. Let’s start with this. Every person right here in this circle, this inner circle of five and anybody out there that really knows and some of you have watched and I’ve thrown up my
calendar here and there, nobody comes close to me and really sniffs my level of hustle and
how much work I put in and don’t take a step
back in saying, really? Because it is literally
every second of every minute of every day for a very
long period of time and you hear about it,
Alex heard about it. He was a fan. He knew what I was spitting
through this, right. He worked at VaynerMedia but until he got a little
closer, it gets really intense. It gets intense when I’m
working the way I’m working and I’m texting 17 times on a
Saturday while I’m in the air and saying do this, do
this and this, and this. I’m gonna do this and
this and this and this and this and this. And so, my hustle is up.

– [Voiceover] Courtney asks, “Does it bother your
wife that you constantly spin your ring?” – No. Lizzie’s way too big picture for something as silly as that. This is what always pisses me off, right. You see me spinning the ring, and you decide, not you, but like, people decide, oh, he must be on his fifth ring. All my friends who never spin their ring and are very conservative
and don’t travel the world and don’t hustle 19 hours a day, all those people, they’re
on their third ring. Me? Right, you know, everybody talks about me being chaotic, and all this
stuff, and I’m like chaos and not tight and lists. Meanwhile, I don’t lost my phone, I haven’t lost my wallet, I don’t leave my bag. Meanwhile, all these people around me, the A-types, they’ve left their phone, they’ve lost their things, so, don’t sleep on my carelessness because it is dramatically smaller than most of you think. I could be chaos and
practical at the same time, and that’s what I am. And, so, Lizzie isn’t scared
of me spinning my ring because I’ll never lose it, got it?

– [Voiceover] Anthony asks, “If
given an opportunity to swap VaynerMedia for the Jets, would you, and why or why not? Not really, right, Gary? – Anthony, I would switch VaynerMedia for the New York Jets in a hot second. Now, I would take along all the employees and make them all work at the New York Jets, and I’d assume, like,
of the 500 or so peeps that I could probably get,
like, 312 to come over. You know, or I would just create some weird advertising division within the New York Jets that
allowed me to keep everybody because I’ve fallen quite in love. I’m very in love with you guys. – Thanks, Gary. – You’re welcome. And so, you know, I’ve fallen in love with all these peeps, but I would do it, because I want to own the New York Jets, and that’s the bottom line.

“Are there any common mistakes you repeat “over and over again? “Either way, any tips
for overcoming them?” – Dan, I think I repeat all my
mistakes over and over again. First of all, my thesis on life is scaling the unscalable, which is one big mistake in itself. We just had a meeting with the whole crew about all the mistakes I’m making, bottle of, bottom of the funnel things. So you know, like, you know, I’m a big believer of betting
on strengths, not weaknesses, you know, you try to get better as you go through the process and go along. I don’t know if I’m the
right person to answer this. I repeat a lot of mistakes. I continue to always, I have good moments for a year or two or a month of two of not trying to bite off
more than I can chew, but then I get right into it. For all the process and scalability, I continue to create things that allow me to be the bottleneck, though I think this crew and I are doing a good job of hacking away and we have an ambition
for ’15 to be better at it in my limited time world. You know, I… But, really, these are
all hard questions for me because I really struggle to think about what I’m bad at because I spend all my time
thinking about what I’m great at and those are a lot of things. And that’s where I put my energy and time and that’s why I think
I get the permission and the luxury and the awesome feeling
of having so many of you watch this show, betting on strengths is
the grossly underestimated execution of our time. And that’s what I do and I do it well, and so I answered it out of
being a cordial human being, but the truth is, I don’t give a rat’s
ass about my weaknesses. I surely don’t know how to fix them because I don’t focus on them much.

that you want to complete before 40?” – Gabii, this is a good question, one that I was excited to answer mainly because the truth is, I only have one bucket list
item in my life professionally, and that is to buy the New York Jets, and thus I don’t have any bucket
list items professionally. Personally, I don’t want to
climb any goddamn mountains, or jump out of anything.
I’m not that dude, so I don’t care about that, the bucket list item, you
know, on my personal life is quite basic as well, which is, I just wanna love my family, and I’m executing on that
and accomplishing that, and so the answer is no, not before 40 or 50 or
60 or 70 or 80 or 90, and the truth is, and this may actually lead to why I’m so happy, the two bucket list items in my life is to love and cherish and
make my family proud, and to live the process of
buying the New York Jets more than buying the New York Jets. And I’ve actually accomplished both. Which puts me in a good mood.

– [Voiceover] Mark asks, “What’s behind “the recent big surge
in wine time for you?” – Mark, what’s up brother? Great question. I can’t answer you fully. I can just wink a whole bunch. I can also refer to the
fact that I just tasted this insane Chateau of the
Pop and it is remarkable. Let’s link it up in the section if you’re a baller looking
for a gift for your family, $82.13 of pure liquid magic. Yeah, I’m flirting. Stuff’s brewing. Also check out winelibrary.com,
let’s link it down there. Stunwin, show his face, wrote an incredible article yesterday. Let’s link that up. There’s stuff happening. The question of the day
