– [Voiceover] Darren asks, “How much sleep “should you get on average? “Do you work seven days a week? “Do you have set days off
to spend time with family?” – Darren, you know this
is a great question, I get it asked a lot. I talk so much about hustle
and people don’t think I sleep. You know, I try to get six
or seven hours of sleep. I think sleep is massively
important for the body. Right now I’m working out a
lot, as you guys can tell. And that’s affecting my sleeping patterns. Not that I sleep better, by
the way, everybody thought. I was so exhausted before that I was just sleeping like a rock, I’m
lucky with the sleeping, but I sleep quite a bit. Weekends are for the family. No this on the weekend, anymore
for the last couple years. Lot more vacation time. Going from maybe a week or two, even as early as four or
five years ago to now, then three or four, now even like five. So sleep’s important, rest is important, recharging’s important. It’s not about 365 days
of complete insanity. It’s about 265 days of complete insanity, and a hundred days of really resting and giving you the energy
to have that insanity. I think hustle is about when you’re in it, versus every day doing it, right. So for me, it’s this
Tuesday, uh Wednesday, see? This Wednesday is all in, right? Like I’m gonna go all in
the whole way, every minute. A lot of the people that
are around my life now, even you guys probably,
get very caught off guard of how I have zero minutes in
play for 15 hours in a day. Like there is no, Zak needs
like two minutes to like, hey look at this new
design for Wine Library, and DeMayo, my assistant’s
like, yeah next Thursday. And he’s like, two minutes, right? So I go all in on the days I’m in, but boy, do I rest when I rest. And boy, do I check out when I check out. I don’t even like travel. I don’t want the pyramids
of the Eiffel Tower, I don’t care about the coral reefs. When I vacation, I need
to sleep on a beach. And don’t talk to me. That’s how much recharging. When I sleep, if you walked into my home, punched me directly in the face, and stabbed me with a knife in my left arm while I was sleeping, and
robbed everything in my home, I’d still not wake up. That’s how all in I am when I’m resting. So I’m just an all in character, regardless of what I’m doing.

“If it wasn’t for the 14th amendment, “would you run for President?” – Chris has a tremendous question to end the show. The answer is I would run for President. It’s really funny. And the reason I’m laughing about this question is Chris, you’ve set me up to expose a dark part of me, which is the selfish part of me, ’cause we all have it. The singular reason that I’m probably not already having a serious eye on politics is because I can’t be President, and I am not willing to as a human being, play a game that I can’t be the ultimate winner of. And many of you are gonna leave comments on the YouTube channel
or hit me up on Twitter, you podcasters and say,
“That is not noble, “you could be a governor and make “a huge impact or a congressman “or mayor or you know.” And I understand that. But, that’s not what I want. I’m selfish about that. And so, yes, if they changed, if Schwarzenegger followed through on what I wish he could have done, but he couldn’t, if somebody comes along or they change it, not in the current environment, clearly, I would put myself into that game, because, I probably pride myself on the singular thing that I think when things are a worst, I’m best. I eat pressure for breakfast. I love it, I need it, it’s why I love HR. it’s
the ultimate pressure, people hate that kind of pressure. So, if you look at the hairlines and the color of the hair of Presidents, of when they start to
when they’re finished, they looked like they aged 60 years. I’m already aging with my hair, I want it all gone. I just can’t play that game. And so the answer very
simply is, yes I would. And that leads me into the question

– [Voiceover] Thousand asks, “Who is your favorite comedian?” – Thousand Moments, let me give you that answer, but before I do, Steve, ’cause I love you so much, show him, show him. Tell everybody what you just said before we did the question, because, you had a good rationale for ruining the show’s audio. – The noise that I made
during the last episode was because I was pulling
up Paul’s YouTube channel, which is a Minecraft channel
by the way, so, well done. – Cool. Now that I found out
it’s a Minecraft channel, you may want to change that up because that is one competitive space. Alright, my favorite comedian of all time. I would probably say that it is a tie, because I wanna give– It’s a three-way tie
between Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock. And now, if you go back and watch all of my keynotes and watch its cadence, you may see where the
influence comes from. – [Voiceover] Nasir asks, “Sometimes my passion
is seen as aggression.

– [Voiceover] Megan asks, “You’re like, “a billionaire, right? “What do you splurge on?” – Megan, I’m not even sure if I’m a 100-millionaire. Maybe with my assets, you know, VaynerMedia and Wine
Library are doing well, but I splurge on experiences. For example, LeBron’s first
game back in Cleveland against my Knicks, as you notice today I’m wearing orange because I’m starting to get ready for the basketball season. You can imagine why. So, experiences. You know, vacations with my family, and definitely things
like LeBron’s first game back in Cleveland, and
they play the Knicks. AJ’s a huge Knicks fan,
more so than even I am. Let’s go with him to that. Something me and my bro can remember when we’re much older. It’s cool to like, sit
around if you’re an old man and be like, “Remember when we went to “Kareem’s first game back in Milwaukee? “With the Lakers?” That’s like a fun story. Those are the kind of
things, I want to spend money on experiences. Paying for my friends to go
on trips when I was younger, when they couldn’t afford it. I splurge on spending time with people that I care about.

“Why is your phone always in the shot?” – My phone is always in shot, because my phone is always with me. Plus, my adorable Xan’s on there. I don’t want to show his pictures, he doesn’t want me to
share kid photos that much, but the other reason is
because if you haven’t heard, this is an extension of
you as a human being. Every one of you, rarely, is ever, arm’s length away, from your phone in every 24 hour window, including while you’re
sleeping and showering. This is an extension of us. This is, ya know, eventually
it’s gonna be here, and here, and then helmet, and then eventually, directly in us. This is the extension point and so it’s always with me, because
I need it to be a human. That’s right. It sounds sad. Plenty of comments coming, like, ugh, but that’s just the way it is. – [Voiceover] Swelldesigner asks,

“for sale in your lifetime,
and another NFL team does, “would you buy that team instead?” – Johnny, one of the things I
worried about with this show was answering questions
I don’t like to answer, and this is one of them. At this point, I’ve ebb and flowed with this. At this point, my belief is that I would really focus on the Knicks, and then after that, a
random basketball team. So it goes Jets, Knicks,
random basketball team. That’s your answer. – [Voiceover] Matt asks,
“How would you promote

“about business, brands, et cetera. “What’s the one life
lesson you have learned “since becoming a father?” – Sean, this is a fun question for me. I appreciate it. You know, I love this show because I’m really shooting straight,
and in me shooting straight you’re gonna all really realize how much of a contradiction I really am. You’re gonna figure out how
much of an ego I actually have. You’re gonna figure out how
much humility I actually have. This is gonna go on the ego side. I’ve always been nurturing. I love HR and the team, and
like, you guys, the community. I have a lot of nurturing DNA. I’m a motherly kind of character. I also have an 11 year younger brother that gave me a test run into fatherhood, because my brother and I have
that kind of relationship, especially cause my dad
is such a workaholic, wasn’t around as much. Though much more for AJ than me, I just want to throw that out there. He did go to some of his basketball games, which I’m still jealous about, and in general my dad’s
kind of an old-school, less nurturing, let’s put
it that way, kind of guy, and so, you know, when
I’m 19, AJ is eight. What that did for me in a lot of ways was, you know, it’s not the same. A brother, even as much as I love AJ, it’s a different feeling from children. I think the thing that it’s taught me is, I want to say unconditional
love, but the truth is I probably love my parents and siblings more than the average person from what I’ve been able to gather. It’s taught me things I knew, which is the fear that I have for any, Misha, yesterday, talking to me about somebody called her a chatterbox
and it hurt her feelings. A, made me laugh, because
she’s like her dad, and I’m like, I remember going, “My music teacher in first grade called me “a machine mouth,” or
something pretty tough. Anyway, motor mouth, thank you. So she’s going through that
stuff and it was crazy to me to sit there and feel how much pain I felt and we’re not even in bullying zone, or zits zone, or awkward teen years zone, so it’s teaching me that,
as much as I love my parents and my siblings and
all these other things, the love I have for those two is deep, and it’s hardcore. – Hey Gary. Tony Brown here from tonylbrown.com,

“If you could go back to your early 20s, “would you prioritize health, “or was neglecting it necessary
to get where you are today?” – Edward, great question. I wanted to address this. One of the great things
of the show I keep saying is that I’m going to answer questions I haven’t been able to answer, and so, thanks for all of
you of getting me to 21. But the other thing I get to
do is clear up some things, so we’re picking some questions. I think I sent this one
to you Steve, right? Yeah, we get to clarify on the show. This is the clarity hour, my friends. We get to clarify a little bit on the show and what we are going to clarify is this. I bet you a lot of
people are going to think I’m going to go in one direction,
but I’m going in another. The answer is I wish I
prioritized my health. I could have slept one hour less. I could have played one hour
less of Settlers of Catan with my brother back in the day. I could have worked, this is a crazy one. I could have worked one less hour. I could have done a whole lot of things, but I should’ve found that one hour to do what I’ve been doing for the last 65 days, and prioritize my health. So, if I could go back, I’d be working out and eating
the way I’m doing it now, all the way back since then. Psst, real quick, I wasn’t joking.

“your clients must expect to meet you. “How do you manage that?” – That’s an easy one to manage. You know, very honestly,
this is a huge misconception. This company’s called VaynerMedia. Yes, I’m the frontman, but I do not convey that they are buying me to anyone, and when we get into new business, Trouty, you do a lot of new business. Show Trouty. Trouty, how often do you find that people think they’re buying me? – Less and less these days. – And what happens when
you think that happens? Well, or when it happens, what do we do? – We quickly convince them that there are a lot of smart people behind here by showing them great work. – Very PR of you. (all laughing) The very simple fact
is I’m not selling me. We let people know upfront
that there’s no buying me. I mean, look. The Million Dollar Man in WWF was right. Everybody’s got a price. You can buy me. It’s just a lot more than you think. And so we’ve built a
company, something scalable. I have no interest in being in every room. I’m running the business. I jump into things backbone
all day, all the time because it’s our company
and I’m part of it, but you’re not buying me. So we just convince them
by telling them the truth. – [Voiceover] Heather
asks, “Gary, I’ve watched “every episode, but guys outnumber women.

“helped you innovate in marketing. “Do you think any of
your areas of expertise “hold you back from innovating?” – Jared, thank you so much
for making the #AskGaryVee Show what it is. For all you hardcore Vaniacs, and I’ve appreciated all
of you, and by the way, all the new lurkers, that means the people watching this show on YouTube
or natively in Facebook, ’cause that’s the way
I’ve been putting it out, and are not leaving
comments are pissing me off. So lurkers, episode 19, get your asses in the comment section. It is the fuel that helps me continue to do this show. Jared, thank you for
making this show what it is and what I mean by that is,
so many of you have heard, if you’re hardcore about me, which is that that Medium post like,
maybe you’d wanna put the picture up here like, you know, me failing all my classes is why I’m good. My lack of reading, my lack of knowledge of a lot of things, that
keeps me very creative ’cause I’m not folding into things and using the same thing over and over, there’s that, it’s a big advantage for me. My lack of education, IQ knowledge on a lot of subject
matters, really helps me. And so for the same
reason I say that, Jared, the answer is yes, the
things that I believe in or I’m more knowledgeable
about hold me back because they get entrenched in my brain, I believe them to be the way they are. Now, because it’s in my soul to fight and to counteract and to go in the grey, not the black and white,
and all that stuff, I think I maybe get away
with it a little bit more, but truth is, I’m still human and yeah, those things are holding me back. – Hey Gary, my name is Mark Cersosimo.
