– [Voiceover] And your last, “Hey Gary, “to what extent would you say “your success is due to your
showmanship/charisma factor? “Thanks!” – Angel, I think my
showmanship and charisma is a major fact, my
charisma is an absolute, being charming is a stunningly
important personal trait. Being likable is really
cool and I, especially, have a weird thing going on
because in my public persona, especially when I’m on
stage or performing, I get very competitive. Very, like, I wanna rap
battle the world, right? Like I want to beat everybody. So I’m combative and I say
things that most people don’t want to say so it makes
a certain group uncomfortable and actually makes them
not like me as much. So then when they meet me one-on-one, and that charming, kind
of real person plays out, I even get extra credit. Yeah, listen, I think it’s a major factor. Now, on the flip side, I
can rattle off 50 people, which I won’t ’cause this is a dis, that are massively charming,
massively charismatic but have no depth. It’s classic sizzle and steak. I think I have both. Now do I think a steak that
really sizzles sells better? It sure does and so I would
almost say maybe it’s 50%. All right, if you wanna go
basic, it’s 50% of my success because having the goods
to back up that hyperbole and charisma and
excitement and showmanship is a major thing. There’s a lot of people faking this show. There’s a lot of content
on YouTube and out there. There’s a lot of people that are trying, there’s a lot of people
doing quote pictures the way I do them or videos the way I, I’m not talking about you, DRock. (everybody laughs) And doing videos the way I
do and there isn’t traction because I think people can smell it. So you have to be able to back it up. But I don’t run away from it. I definitely think that, I
hate when people don’t think that they’re lucky. Like, I don’t how to not quantify my charisma, my personality
as anything short of I took great features from my parents. Who just, my parents
deciding to get married, unfortunately even though, if
my dad ever watches the show, which he doesn’t, mom, make
sure you show dad this part. As much as I’d love to
take credit for mom and dad getting married, I just can’t. My dad always likes to zing me
for taking credit for stuff. Yeah, I think my personality
is a major factor. I’m also equally happy to
know that my work ethic and my tenacity and my
skills and my compassion are equally factors in my success. – [DRock] Does your mom watch every one? – I think my mom’s watching
almost every one, yeah.

– Your favorite costume you ever had as a kid, that you were just like pumped to go out and wear and you felt so proud and excited. – That’s a great question. I’m gonna go with when me and my sister dressed up as Tom and Jerry. – Nice. – You know what’s interesting,
this is a great opportunity. I never talk about the year that we lived in Dover, New Jersey. Do you know that? – I did not know that. – Right. None of you know this. It went, I always say Queens to Edison, but the truth is, I don’t even know why, I just forget about that
year and a half in Dover. Maybe because I don’t like it. Maybe the reason I love the Jets so much is that the kids were nice to me and we played football, and they wanted to be Jet fans and in Dover. Do you, one of you have heard this story where the kid made me drink
pee out of a Pepsi can? – Yup, we have heard that story. – You’ve heard it right? Steve you didn’t hear it? – [Steve] I feel like, I don’t know, I’ve blocked it out.
– [Gary] Yeah! – [Gary] Yeah, I got picked on quite a bit ’cause I didn’t speak English yet. I was little. And so, and so um my sister and I dressed
up as Tom and Jerry, and my mom likes to tell the story that, my sister was still in a
carriage, she was young. I would go up stairs, knock
on the door, get the candy, and then I would always
get candy for my sister. ‘Cause I’d be like, my
sister’s down below. It’s just the story means a lot to me about the relationship that
I have with my sister Liz, and so um, that’s the costume
that always sticks in my mind. – Nice.
– Yeah. – It’s a good costume.

“Is there question you wish people “would stop asking you?” – Joshua, it’s that question. Um, well the first one
got my panties in a bunch. – [India] Yeah, that’s true. – Um, no not really, man. To be honest with you, I’m too overwhelmed with
gratitude and flattered that people want to ask me questions, that it’s hard for me to
get going around the notion of judging those questions. These are questions that, everybody’s in a different life cycle in their careers and lives to where they think I could bring value, whether they’re a parent
with an entrepreneurial kid, whether they’re an entrepreneur
and just realized it, whether they’ve always
been an entrepreneur and can really associate with my immigrant and selling hustle, I think everybody’s in a different place when they come across my content. Since so many people are
discovering it these days, ’cause there’s a lot of
virality going on on Facebook. As a matter of fact, you know what? This is a good opportunity,
I put in the comments with the Share Monster? I really, really would love
some support on Facebook. I mean look, I’m selfish
like anybody else. I’m enjoying the discovery
of all these new audiences. Everybody who’s sharing for me, and there’s a consistent crew that I wanna give so much love to, everybody that’s sharing, I
really, really appreciate it. And if you’re listening
or watching right now, if you’re listening,
literally pull over your car on the highway in traffic,
take out your phone, go to the episode on Facebook
and hit the share button. And by the way, if you did that, you are the most amazing
person of all time. But if you’re watching on Facebook, or a lot of you I know
are watching on YouTube, coming over to Facebook,
that would mean something. I would love to see, I’m curious where this call to action,
where this right hook lands me in the share lexicon
for my normal average. That being said, no, that’s
it, that’s the answer. I have high empathy for everybody being in a different place
in their mind at the moment where they feel compelled
to ask me a question, and the only emotions in
my body are gratitude.

“I noticed that you endorse certain books “and allow yourself to
be quoted on the cover. “I thought you didn’t read books?” – Over the last year, I have
given two or three quotes to books, which is highly
unusual, I see Steve about it, and Steve’s always cynical, look, he already dissed me in the show, like, you know. You said, “Oh, Gary.” You know, but I had to
explain myself to you. (laughter) Um, uh, so I rarely do it. Steve’s shaking his head because he sees the millions that come through, requests. And we always say no,
’cause I don’t read them, and how am I gonna put my name on it. The only reason I’ve put my name on a couple of books, is
because I know the human being. And so, that’s what uh, that’s what. As I’ve gotten to know Jay Bear, and others of that nature. Actually, that one’s not even out yet, so Louis, you know. These are people I know,
I feel comfortable with. And if you actually
look carefully, at the, and Steve knows this because he helps me edit some of these quotes sometimes, I won’t say things more
specific about the book. I’ll say, “Jay has a
great read on the market.” So I’ve very careful with saying, “In this book, he will
change your, on page 147,” you know? It’s very Jay. And so as I’ve gotten to know people over the last seven to 10 years, and I feel like I’ve gotten to know them, I’ve felt comfortable
to give them something. These are friends of mine who are trying to leverage my name to do something that’s important to them,
and I’ve been careful with the way I’ve positioned the quote. You know, to make it more about them. And so that’s it, I’m
really glad you asked that question, India,
’cause it’s the right. I saw it and I was like,
even I was a little too scared to send it to you
and say I should answer this. So, but it’s the right thing to do, to answer these questions. That’s why we have the show,
not just to pick the easy ones. I like that you do that. Keep doin’ it. You know what, by the way? Go harder. LIke, luckily lately,
because I think the show has painted a better
360-version of myself, people are dissing on me less, because I think the depth has been able to be sucked out, and so, but I’m always happy to
answer the toughest of tough. – [India] Wanna do a hater episode? – I mean I don’t know if I wanna,

– [Voiceover] Gabriel asks,
“What is the best example “in your life, where your ego
has gotten the best of you? “How significant was it in retrospect?” – Well, this is great, right, because you’ve already dropped ego. I almost called this The Ego Show. So you know, what was the question? – When the ego got the best of you? – [India] And how significant
was it in retrospect? – Oh my gosh, should I go? – Sure. Yeah go ahead. – For me, oh man. Any relationship that I’ve been in I allow my ego to get the
best of me in the past. Where it’s like–
– With, like, girls you mean? – Yes, yes.
– [Gary] Okay, go ahead. – [Lewis] And then it just
affects me, it like consumes every decision.
– [Gary] What’s the ego part? Like you think you’re hotter than them? – No, no, it’s like after we break up or end things, it’s like– – You don’t wanna call first? And say, “That was a cool run”? – I don’t know it’s just like
I’m still holding onto things and I can’t let certain
things go, and I’m mad still or pissed, or why it didn’t work out. And that, holding onto things as opposed to fully letting go, – Yeah. – will hold me back in
other areas of my life, and just my health, my business. Like making clear decisions. And that ego, I gotta fully
let go in those situations. – Interesting. – What about you? – For me, I think with ego, I think it’s things that I don’t know. – I thought you know everything. – Well, I know everything
that actually has happened. So, maybe my ego of recognizing, well no, hear me out India. Like, let me give you an example. I know you’re laughing over
there and having a good time. Let me explain. I would tell you that I slash, it was the right business
decision, but ego of not doing a lot of television
shows because I feel like the world’s gonna change
and I’ll wanna own the IP, maybe kept me away from being
50 thousand times bigger because clearly I’d be incredible. I’d probably be the biggest TV star in TV if I decided to do a TV show.
– [Lewis] Why haven’t you still done a show? – [Gary] Because I still believe
in this thesis which is– – Why can’t you do both? – You can, you can! – What are you waiting for? – You know I’m busy as shit here, what do you think is going on? I’m busy! – I’m overwhelmed just being in here. – You’re on one of the
three floors of four offices like there’s a lot going on. So I wonder if ego has kept
me away from mainstream media. – But, you were just on
Bloomberg this morning, right? – Yeah, that’s different
than hosting a show. – You’d be the biggest TV
personality in the world. – I believe that Lewis, say it again. India, you say it too. – You would be the biggest TV personality in the world.
– [India] You want me to say? – Yeah, I want you to say it because I know you don’t want to say it. No, I want you to say it. – You’d be so huge on television. – [Gary] No, see what she did, she hedged. – Nobody would ever be able
to be on TV after you again. – That was good. Cut that clip for me,
DRock, just a ringtone. I think there’s been an
enormous amount of things that have impacted me, predicated my ego. I just don’t know what they are because they’re the
things that I didn’t do, versus the things that I did. The things that I’ve done with
my ego, I know the outcomes. They’ve all been pretty damn positive. It’s the things that I’m passing on, that I can never play out and
know what would have happened. That’s where my upside is on the table. Me being bigger, financially, brand, happiness, opportunity, me
being bigger is predicated on my no’s, not my yes’s. – What would be the ultimate
show that you could have on any network, any time? Who would you be doing it with? Would it be yourself? What topic? – You know what’s funny, I’ve
thought about that a lot. And I don’t think about it a lot. Meaning, I used to think about the format, what would I want to do. I’m so not in the mindset of
having a TV show right now. I’m so enjoying this. I’m enjoying the way I’m
going about marketing this and the white spaces and
where the world’s going and how over the top
is changing the world. Look, if I had a business show on Netflix, if Netflix came to me right now
and said we want to make you our business show, that would
be really tough to say no to. So I would say that,
because it’s of the moment. – Really, not mainstream cable or network, or anything like that? – No, because I’d rather
go to where the pucks going and I’d rather be part
of the narrative of, you know those shows, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black,
whatever sports deal they do, and then that business show. That’s where they competed
with CNBC, ya know? – That’s what I did with the
podcast, I saw the opportunity. – Yeah, that’s exactly right. And that’s where the upside is, you wait and you let the puck come to you. I would say CNBC and Bloomberg
are interesting to me because it’s just right
down the pipe of business. Yeah, I just can’t get there. India? – This one, we’re both
wearing all black today.

I’m developing a short film about you. – About me? – As a child and your entrepreneurial chops. – Oh, ok. – My question for you is
at what age did you decide that you wanted to buy the New York Jets? – Richard great question. I think the age when I really
decided I wanted by the Jets was somewhere around. I don’t know exactly Richard
to be honest with you so I think it’s somewhere around fourth, fifth, sixth grade. When I realized that I was
more likely to buy them than to play for them, Started seeing other kids growing. Little bit faster than I was growing. Being a little bit faster. Wakeil Shaw. Fifth grade Wakeil Shaw. I think gave me one of my first previews into being owner not player because he was a beast and he ran over me in backyard football. So I think a lot of old school references By the way, made that Oded Weinstock reference with Peter yesterday. A friend of mine from middle school hit me up and he’s like oh my god Oded Weinstock, so that was kind of fun. Wakeil anybody went to Martin Luther King 1982 to 85 Edison, New Jersey Martin
Luther King Elementary School knows the name Wakeil Shaw. If you know Wakeil Shaw, find him and say actually so easy
just search on Facebook. It’s so ridiculous. He moved I think the Baltimore area. Anyway yeah Richard that’s the answer. I think, to make this more of an
interesting answer for everybody who’s watching. Which I’m going to start doing more of. One thing I’m going to start
doing India’s when these answers are the fun question what have you I’m going to
trying to go a little bit broad. If you were lucky enough right now to have a younger sibling, a niece or nephew, a cousin. Or if you’re the parent of a child of that is as early as six,
seven, eight, nine, 10 years old really starts talking about what they want to do for a living. Please, please, please think about how to put them in the
best position to succeed. The kids. The children our future India. – True.
– They’re our future. And so I think. You know. And that. Should I want to be a baseball player and you may not think
their athletic enough and I get that. And then so the question becomes do you send them to baseball camp? Or do you actually look at them and say look you know me and mom are 5’4″. You’re not going to come
a baseball player one day. But can you start showing them other parts of baseball, right? Can they become a future
amazing G.M. or manager things of that nature. I think we need to do
better jobs at really reverse engineering the
child that over indexes in disproportionate passion
not the flavor of the month but has shown two, three, four years of consistent conversation
around a hobby or your subject matter. There’s so much we could
be doing with them. In those years where
they have a lot of time, impressionable moldable, that can be very powerful so
please take it on yourself to be responsible to
sniff out the young me’s of the world who really never wavered and we’re all in didn’t pivot, didn’t change their passions. And try to put them in that position. – That’s good.
– Thank you.

– Jake that’s such a good question because my parents peer
pressured me into that bullshit. There was just no option. It was back in 1992, 3, 4.
You know like they expected it would
have been embarrassing had I not gone. That was just the truth. Like I had by the way, the reason I end up at
Mount Ida College is because I had no plans
of going to college. I didn’t go to see my guidance counselor. I don’t even know my
guidance counselor’s name. I think I saw her once in four years. Right so like. I went because my parents wanted me to go. Like it’s really so my mom just didn’t I don’t think she would have known how to answer the question
of like why didn’t he there was so much social peer pressure at that point that if you did not go you were
such a fundamental loser. And it’s so different now. Probably why I have so much passion for it because if you don’t think that I think that I would be further along and happier. And happier. Look I made some great friends and some great times but like four years. Damn it. 1994, 5, 6 and 7. During the Web 1.0 bubble. (mouth noise) – This is a video from Richard.

“100 years into the past “or 100 years into the future “and why?” – Past, I would make so much fucking bank. I’d buy the Jets for $10,000 in 1963 and I’d be good. (inaudible) – I’ll make fucking money, India. – I’m just saying. – Everything on the planet. – Please not even close. – This is Gary. [India] I don’t know if I’ll admit that. – Admit what? – [India] He didn’t mean
to see in the future. – You didn’t mean that Alan, got it. [India] I think Alan mean
you can see in the future. – I tricked you I said
with what you know now, you said yes. – Emotionally we were talking about. – Get out of here. I know you bullshit. Alright, let’s take a step back. If you don’t know anything and you land and you don’t know anything, you didn’t know that you did that, I would go to the future only
because I right now as a human know what happened over the last 100 years and the upside is not knowing. – I put my answer through
the exact same filter. If I know everything I’d go backwards and do some really powerful shit. Don’t know anything go forward and send me to the future. – I’d be like this Microsoft
company feels right.

“for the most?” – Go ahead PK. – Helping people to be
the best they can be, family and otherwise. – That’s awesome. For me, there’s a lot
of different things that I think about, but one of the
things that I really want, I talk a lot about guilting
everybody I ever meet to coming to my funeral. I’m very passionate about bringing more value to people than they brought to me. One of the things I
admire so much about my father-in-law Peter, is,
it’s scary to me how many, we’re different clearly in
certain ways, but boy do we have a lot of similarities,
and when I started to get to know it was
interesting to me how his wife Ann, who’s amazing,
would talk about him, I was like hmm, that’s
me, that’s what I like. I like that everybody comes to
me for help and I help them, and all those things, and
so that’s what I would say, 51-49, that I gave more to
them in our relationship than they gave to me. That said, if you agree
with me, I think I better

“have watched the #AskGaryVee show?” – Would 22 year old Gary Vee #AskGaryVee Show? Good question. The answer is no. Which is interesting, but true. 22 year old Gary knew he had it and didn’t want to
learn from other things. Which I don’t know if it’s
a strength or a weakness, but he believed in what he had in his body and I believed in what I was going to be and felt that my fresh naive eyes and my intuition was more valuable than putting things in my head which would then be known as well look at how that person
did it and they did it well. I truly do believe that one of the reasons that so many of you watch this show is because I say things different, I come from different angles, and I really do believe that’s because I don’t consume anybody else’s stuff. I think it helps me keep fresh. I think my stuff comes from operating. I think you know, just,
I’m giving you a wide view because the background changed. I think my stuff comes
from actually operating. I think my stuff comes
from an intuitive place. And I don’t, I don’t
try to consume anything. As a matter of fact I was at this event where there was an opening
key note during the dinner where I had to like meet with a client. Boy I really didn’t like it. It was a really bad experience. One I wanted to like go up, I literally wanted to go up on stage and hit him with a chair
WWF style and take over. Like all right! And you know like, I just don’t feel like that’s my learning style. So 22 year old Gary would spit in the face of
the #AskGaryVee Show. Sorry DRock. And that’s that. Missed you guys a lot. Really pumped to be back in the saddle.
