In this episode, Gary speaks to a group of business owners about the real challenges and opportunities in today’s landscape — from the rapid evolution of AI to the often-overlooked power of consistent social content. He explains why many businesses aren’t seeing results with digital marketing, how simple strategies like localized video ads can drive actual customer growth, and why understanding AI isn’t just a competitive edge — it’s quickly becoming a necessity. If you're navigating hiring issues, trying to stand out in a crowded market, or simply unsure where to start with new tools and platforms, this episode offers a clear, practical perspective. We cover: Common mistakes in social media marketing — and how to correct them A $50 local ad strategy that’s working right now Why AI will impact every industry — not just tech How trust and authenticity will separate brands that grow from those that don’t Tips for creating content without overthinking it Whether you're just starting to explore AI or trying to make your content actually move the needle, this conversation will help you rethink where to focus your time and energy in 2025.

Sometimes the smallest gesture creates the biggest return. In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite stories ever—where a simple act of gratitude turned into a massive business opportunity. This is for all the entrepreneurs out there who are obsessed with scale and tech... but might be sleeping on the old-school moves that really build brand equity. This isn’t theory—it’s a real case study of how doing the unscalable can scale your business better than any ad campaign. I also break down the mindset you need to win in today’s economy: either go all in on social media or go all in on relationships. The middle? That’s where businesses die. 🎯 If you're in business, marketing, sales, or customer service... this episode is your reminder that being human still wins. We talk about: 📞 Why calling your old clients might be your next growth strategy 🎯 How a $400 jersey for a $100 customer led to a $6,000 sale ❤️ Scaling the unscalable: why gratitude is the edge 🧠 The mindset difference between winning and being forgotten 🚫 Why the “middle” in business is the worst place to be 🎧 Don’t sleep on this one—it’s a great example of how to actually do business in a meaningful way. 📍 Follow the podcast here first: 📌 @garyveeaudioexperience 📍 Follow me here: 📌 Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | TikTok | Twitter/X | YouTube

This is my 2024 commencement speech at NYU Stern — one of the most important talks I’ve given. I break down what graduating students actually need to know before entering the real world. This isn’t about hype or theory — it’s about the mindset and clarity you’ll need to succeed in a tough job market and an even tougher business landscape. We talk about: Why adversity early in your career is a good thing How to stop letting other people’s opinions control your decisions The problem with participation trophies and fearing failure Why self-awareness and patience matter more than your resume How to build a career you won’t regret at 80 If you’re a recent grad — or about to become one — this is a message you need to hear.

I’m bringing you one of the most impactful keynotes I’ve ever done—my 2017 Q&A with the Dutch Bros Coffee team in Portland, Oregon. It’s been a fan-favorite for years and I totally understand why: the energy, the heart, the realness in this room was just unreal. No fluff—just practical, emotional, and deeply honest takes on leadership, burnout, ambition, and what it really means to care. This wasn’t just a speech—it was a back-and-forth with some of the most passionate people I’ve ever talked to. Managers, baristas, social leads, and young hustlers all brought the heat with their questions—and I gave them everything I had. 💡 If you're trying to build culture, lead people, grow your brand, or just find your next gear in life, this is a must-listen. We talk about: Why most leaders screw up motivation (and what I do instead) How to go from solopreneur to 800+ employees the right way The underpriced value of empathy and listening Real talk on firing fast, scaling culture, and staying patient One of the most emotional moments I’ve ever had on stage… and why I’ll never forget it This is pure gold—let’s get into it. 📍 Follow the podcast here first: 📌 @garyveeaudioexperience 📍 Follow me here: 📌 Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | TikTok | Twitter/X | YouTube
