The GaryVee Audio Experience

Think more money means more happiness? Think again. In this episode, I go all in on one of the most misunderstood ideas out there — that success, fame, or financial wins automatically lead to fulfillment. Spoiler alert: they don’t. Whether you're on the come-up or already living with some wins, this episode will challenge how you define “success.” I talk about keeping life simple, the emotional toll of chasing more, and how gratitude and perspective are the real ROI. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to keep climbing — or you're scared of what happens if you lose what you’ve built — this one's for you. We talk about: 💡 Why keeping it simple beats chasing clout 🧠 How happiness before the money is the real secret 💸 Why “more” doesn’t mean “better” 🫂 What really matters when life gets real 🎯 Why losing something is scarier than never having it 💬 The danger of defining happiness through other people’s lenses This is one of those episodes I want every young entrepreneur, creator, and dreamer to hear. If you’re in your head about money, status, or pressure from the outside world… take a breath and press play.

I gave this keynote at the NAC Success Resources event in 2019 — and I went deep on the real shit that holds people back. It’s not lack of resources. It’s not bad luck. It’s entitlement, insecurity, and the need to impress others instead of doing what actually makes you happy. If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck or not moving fast enough, this episode is a wake-up call. I break down the 5 core pieces of value that I believe will unlock your path to success — and most of them have nothing to do with business tactics and everything to do with mindset. Whether you’re just starting or scaling, this talk will push you to get brutally honest with yourself and start executing. 👇 We talk about: Why accountability is the gateway to happiness How entitlement is sabotaging your growth What I learned from immigrants about money The illusion of success on social media Building businesses around what you love Why you need to stop buying dumb sh*t 💳 Crushing it on LinkedIn and Instagram with $0 Why losing early builds you up later The real ROI of patience and long-term execution 🧠 This isn’t just motivation — this is a blueprint.

What’s up, everyone! In this episode, I sit down with Forbes for one of the most complete convos I’ve had in a long time—seriously, we go all the way back to my childhood in Edison, New Jersey, and trace the path from shoveling snow to building VeeFriends. If you’re navigating your own entrepreneurial journey or trying to understand what’s actually happening in marketing right now, this one's for you. We talk about how my obsession with consumer attention has shaped every move I've made—from launching Wine Library TV to writing Day Trading Attention, to building IP with trading cards and animated characters. I open up about why the education system didn’t work for me, how I’m thinking about AI and fake influencers, and why humility and empathy still dominate everything I do. 💥 Whether you’re a corporate exec clinging to outdated media buys or a hungry entrepreneur trying to break through—this is the wake-up call.

The world is changing faster than ever — are you ready to keep up? In today’s episode, I go deep on where I believe technology is heading — and what it really means for business, creators, and human beings. From AI influencers and commoditized creativity to blockchain, IP ownership, and gut instinct, this is one of the most raw, unfiltered breakdowns of the current landscape I’ve ever done. Whether you’re a founder, a marketer, a creator, or just someone trying to figure out where the world’s headed, this episode has the juice. I talk about why kindness is still the killer strategy, why most people overestimate tomorrow but underestimate today, and how the ability to move fast — with intuition — is more valuable than ever. We talk about: 🔥 Why Google Search is dying 🤖 AI influencers and what’s real anymore 🧠 The human gut vs. the brain — and why you need both 📉 The end of traditional social media 💡 Distribution: the most important concept in business 🎭 Why IP is the final game ⚙️ What businesses and CMOs need to understand right now ❤️ Why kindness isn’t just good — it’s practical

You need to put things into perspective and take control of your life. Nobody cares about a Supreme backpack when your health isn't going anywhere... Stop caring and stressing about dumb shit and look at what's important.
