The End of Google Search — And What Comes Next | GaryVee South Park Commons Fireside Chat

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 💥 Whether you’re a corporate exec clinging to outdated media buys or a hungry entrepreneur trying to break through—this is the wake-up call.

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.

Today's video is one of my favorite meetings of the year: meeting with VaynerMedia's interns and answering questions, like what the future of AI in media looks like, and whether or not ChatGPT will take over creative. I talk about how AI is shaping the marketing field, and give my two cents on the best way to improve your skillset to become experts in digital media. Hope you enjoy!

I've said it before—entrepreneurship is a grind, and today’s episode is a masterclass in why. Kass and Mike Lazerow, two people I love like family, just released their new book Shoveling $h!t : A Love Story About the Entrepreneur’s Messy Path to Success*. It’s real, unfiltered, and packed with insights that go way beyond business. We talk about what it’s really like to sell a book from scratch, what surprised them most during the process, and the emotional rollercoaster of launching something deeply personal. But we don’t stop there… We go into parenting, mental health, building purpose, and why most people struggle with going backwards financially. If you’ve ever felt like you’re grinding alone, or wondered if it’s worth it—this is your episode. 💥 You’ll walk away with perspective, motivation, and maybe a little fire in your belly to do what matters!
