Why Didn't You? | The Importance of Living Without Regret

💥 Social Media Changed Everything. Are You Still in Denial? This is the full keynote and Q&A from my 2022 talk at the NAHREP conference in San Diego — and honestly, it hits harder now than it did back then. I break down exactly why content is still the most practical way to grow your business, why so many people are still making excuses instead of doing the work, and how the real estate industry — and every industry — is being reshaped by social media, blockchain, and attention shifts. This isn’t a motivational speech — it’s a wake-up call. The world already changed. TikTok isn’t just for kids. LinkedIn isn’t just for job hunters. Facebook Groups are still gold. If you’re not creating content that builds trust, educates your audience, or puts you top of mind — you’re falling behind, fast. We talk about: Why content on social is still the #1 way to win What blockchain and smart contracts mean for real estate How to lead your team with empathy — not fear The difference between kindness and manipulation Why your ego is killing your wallet And why “doing the homework” matters more now than ever This one’s a must-listen for anyone serious about staying relevant. 👇👇👇 📍 Follow the podcast here first: 📌 @garyveeaudioexperience 📍 Follow me here: 📌 Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | TikTok | Twitter/X | YouTube

If you’re trying to turn your side hustle into your main thing but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted… this one’s for you. Destiny’s been grinding—working a full-time 9-to-5 while building her hair extension business on nights and weekends. But when she came on the show, it was clear she needed a mindset reset more than a marketing plan. I broke it all down with her—why burnout might be coming from the wrong kind of hard work, how to maximize the real hours you have, and why posting on social media is the absolute non-negotiable for growing your biz.

If you’re still sleeping on LinkedIn in 2025, this is your wake-up call 🚨 I’ve been shouting this for a while — the amount of organic reach and business opportunity on LinkedIn right now is insane. In this keynote from a recent Vegas conference, I break down why LinkedIn is behaving like Facebook did back in 2013… and why it’s a massive miss if you’re not capitalizing on it. I get tactical — what kind of content actually works, how to show up if you're camera shy, and why building a brand is way more powerful than your next cold call. This is about long-term brand over short-term sales. If you're trying to grow your business, hire better people, or finally land that dream investor, this one’s for you.

If I were starting from scratch in 2024, here’s exactly how I’d approach social media marketing 💡 There’s so much confusion right now around what platforms to focus on — especially for beginners. In this episode, I map out the different paths depending on what you sell, who you're selling to, and what kind of creator you actually are. B2B? Start on LinkedIn. Selling merch? Focus on TikTok. Don’t love video? I even give you a strategy using only photos and written word that can still crush. I also get into how to find underpriced attention, how to think about format changes when your content’s not hitting, and the one thing most people get wrong about "being known." This one's for the doers ready to make 2024 their breakthrough year 🚀

This Tea episode was wild—in the best way possible. I went deep with a bunch of callers on everything from building personal brands to battling imposter syndrome, choosing between buying a house or opening a dream pizza shop, and even bouncing back after Etsy shut down a six-figure store. If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared to start, or unsure which way to go—this is the episode for you. There’s a ton of real advice in here, but more than that, it’s energy. It’s fire. It’s the push you need to stop overthinking and start moving. We talk about: Why "perfect" content is killing your momentum The truth about followers, DMs, and your first 13 fans Whether college still makes sense (especially if you're creative) AI, brand building, and the future of search What to do when life punches you in the face—and how to fight back The pizza shop vs. house debate (and why offense always wins) How to grow leads with local ads and repurposed content Why soft skills matter and how to find companies that actually care
