I feel like for podcasts today thinking it's the other person spot. I don't know anybody. I know psychedelic stigma is gonna go away that's gonna help a fuck flow to people who have not been able to find their alternative in Advil or in therapy. Wait a minute women Are you telling me that you feel FOMO when everybody goes out on sucking Thirsty Thursday? And who's the fucking mojito? Maybe you don't belong here. You still live at home with your parents? You didn't even go to college you would be so pretty if you just lost 10 pounds. Are you sure that's gonna work? Beauty epic succeed. You weren't gonna be successful anyway Just like blocking out the noise in the chaos of Times Square You need to block out the noise of the judgement your mother your father the cynicism block it out. You can't hear it Do you understand? You can't fucking hear it? You do not love losing you lost Hey guys Monday In the Long Island City meeting of meeting Long Island City Office about to do this meeting with a big executive from big fortune 500 food company just fuckin grindin excited. Kick it off here We go. What is this nine? eight Oh, that's so obvious to me like the whole Aubrey and Ferriss and all that circles what I can tell is that this psychedelics are only repressed Pigma? No, I mean I don't even own a Cigarette like I'm super weird. But yeah, I drink wine. Um, but I've been drunk like five times I'm completely sober and I love that but I still love I think yeah Me too, cuz I don't have feelings and opinions when it comes to business would you do them? I probably wouldn't because my mom Nancy Reagan me out too much It's a framework for me But I'll say this I'll never say never like I'm willing to do whatever the fuck I need to do at any point It's just not in my framework on the flip side On I'm also way too grateful and thankful of my mental happiness And I would be lying if I didn't tell you that I'd be scared to alter something or you know A lot of people do it because it finds a dimension that works for them. I'm like my current state is working for me I don't want to open up something be like. Oh, fuck it like yeah, like don't fix it yet But if I wasn't mentally happy I'm open for everything. Everything's in play. Have you heard of MDMA therapy? No, I think it's a it's awesome Tucker max has told he's one of our investors. Yep He's he took because I go to therapy and I used to take antidepressants. He was like dude do this I've been on this medication for years and I did this thing I feel way better anything that helps people get off medication is something intuitively in my gut not I'm not a doctor I don't know like I'm sure there's plenty of medicines that matter But I'm always pumped knowing enough about the business of Pharma in America I'm always pumped if people can find a different way but back to psychedelics and like and Sexual experimentation like what you're seeing right now? a mature Practical version of what you saw in the 60s? I think it's a game of stigma. What's an example? Well, I think you know when I think about my friends in Silicon Valley who talked about you know Psychedelics and things that nature inevitably in that same dinner it gets into alternative sexual Relationships and like an open like open marriage is in a more progressive way than open marriages or like I wouldn't know I don't think I could never do that it's not for me either like what but I don't like imposing my like what I think makes me successful in these talks is I Never impose my will or opinion on what will happen all my friends that are like fuck How do I got tick-tock wrong? It's like and whether tick tock disappears tomorrow or not There's incredible money being made in the tick-tock infrastructure And that's what we're talking about business in this narrow way, and I'm they're like, why are you always right? I'm like cuz I don't impose my opinion You're cuz I'm talking to these inner circle friends. I'm like you said it was stupid for you said that because you're insecure you have 800 thousand followers on Instagram, and you don't want to start over you're doing what Tila Tequila and Dane Cook did with MySpace you're doing what all my homies and twitter did about Instagram you now are Doing that to Instagram. You're so set in your thing. And you've got clout. You don't want the world to reset I only because I don't actually value my clout. I value learnings and impact It's a huge deal. So help psychedelics real quick to finish this off and then jump in with you for your helps Psychedelics stigma is gonna go away which is then gonna make people feel comfortable to do it And I have a very deep intuitive feeling that is the medicine or whatever the fuck you want to call it That's gonna help a fuckload of people who have not been able to find their alternative in

### [5:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc_PthJQvTI&t=300s) Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00)

Advil or in therapy or in much harder core medicine and that excites the shit out of me I want way more happiness in the world the cash came mine tripping on a pet flame, even if they were dogs any tears It's the rap game a high school politics boss could be on more because they got a little company before I show up That's what the deposit is. You only want me now. That's what I believe. I'm building the reverse of the modern private equity bonus that's what I think Boehner is I think Vayner is actually a hyper-growth Private equity firm in disguise as an agency My original plan was to convert the whole thing into it The economy never collapsed and I was fully leveraged into Facebook and other things I believed in long term. So What's ended up happening now is when that day comes when? The market collapses and I can buy things for normal prices that were over leveraged I'll go on to become the CEO of Puma when I buy it or SodaStream or Opie or Pete's coffee chain? And then now the company will last with management and be the sister company But I'll take the 40 to 50 top talents and bring them to a modern private equity firm. I Don't think anybody can take any business and create hyper growth the way that I can at scale once this is completed So what we're doing right now d-roc has a list of Every platform that we need content. Yeah for That Gary needs to film so we blocked out 15 minutes. Yeah, Gary's time. I'm we're gonna try to bang it all out. See what he's into see what isn't hot into What we'd like to say is ideas You'll probably never get less feedback. Okay. What I know is what I would say no - all right But like this feel is a super spot on okay So we want people to smile When they look at it when something shitty happens. Yeah, that's that's you know Yeah, and that's got a little juice to it. Like I'm a little bit like I'm happy with like these are good Well, I'm sure I'm like kind of trying to define something that's not so commonplace that has its own unique aesthetic to it Here's the good news, you know, I'm gonna bring so much awareness to it McDonald's, yeah is actually an Irish pub It's just they made you realize that it was a fast-food burger and fries joint was it no but its name should be I'm good. You see where I'm going? Yeah, I'm gonna make America give a fuck about this I know what I'm doing because they And here's a good news. This is where I'm great as a client. Mmm. You know what you're doing. Yeah Just Like I know what I'm good at but I'm all vegan But if we're smart honest, but if we're spending down, your money McDonald's, okay, McDonald's name is an Irish pub That's not how America does it though, right? Yeah. What the fuck is McDonald's? McDonald's, you actually like Its name if we were sitting here today and said we're starting a fast-food joint and I said and you said McDonald's Any logical person would be like, why are you naming it? That's right as an Irish thing like to me. I'll make them care. I know you do what you do better than me I don't need that subjectiveness. I just need the general Frege's this is Katie What you're about to see is Daymond John on the garyvee audio experience and it's a smaller part of a longer conversation with a young entrepreneur so People don't know how to save anymore You know what's happened, you know, what's happening right now this is where you're getting caught I think tell me if I'm wrong the fact that you're not paying rent and Saving is allowing you to spend money on a couple things that you wouldn't have and that's where the cycles play

### [10:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc_PthJQvTI&t=600s) Segment 3 (10:00 - 15:00)

I believe you then I would say for happiness instead of this happening in the Leben years Let it happen in 14 years by moving an hour and a half Again, one more thing though and this is also kind of like with my job and stuff like that You know, I feel like it's just a lot of people who like don't care about saving and just you know I you know every other day going out for drinks is fun. Their life has nothing who gives a fuck right? That's good I like when everybody else is doing dumb shit. That means I'm about to win What do you feel wait a minute women Are you telling me that you feel FOMO when everybody goes out on fucking thirsty first day in drinks a fuckin mojito? Bro, let me tell you something really good don't judge anyone Okay, you see where I'm going I'm watching a lot of judgment come now, I'm starting to spend some time with you Like if we were having a for our dinners homies, I blade broke stop judging people You see window broke And I got love for you to like honestly Be empathetic like be grateful that you're not in a model like I what when I talk I hate, you know I've been trying to tell people I don't have advice I have I'm like every other human we're animals that like to share Hypotheses opinions are hot takes but like don't judge them yeah, and Don't envy them. I hate what people like damn. Yeah, because there's dad's paying for a shit he gets to go to the club and Deep down he fucking thinks he's a loser because his dad's paying for everything next like oh damn They're just buying those drinks or those clothes to fit in Don't judge them feel bad for them that their whole life is about other people's fuckin acceptance So they have to fucking ruin their own lives just so everybody thinks they're cool. I Think you're spending a lot of time on judgment. Don't even think about it. I knew nothing. I know nothing Oh, but anybody was doing in my 20s I didn't know if they were winning losing Going out not going out unless they walked into the fucking liquor store which some of them did I literally had no fucking idea Get quiet and focus on your own shit We need to as an organization fully understand and it would be huge miss with leaving An owner and not making this religion and we can have a separate meeting on this I still think it probably makes sense for everybody in Tom's and media to come and spend a full day with my team Any I have zero? One man's point of view. I trust you guys, but this is powerful to me zero interest in posting anything organic Meaning I'll take it But we must assume that nothing that we post organic is a driver of what we want to happen So if we create this if we're spending the money and time and effort to capture the content to think our mother days content is gonna be something in Twitter is a humongous mess We need to have a deep conversation of like how we're gonna spend that eighty four dollars on Facebook Against forty to sixty year old women in Minnesota with that mothers that we have to be that organization it was just Please yes Yes, I want to run $5 ad Spencer on 80 pieces of content a day I'm happy we're in a really good spot because we have the ability to absolutely have 20 pieces of content, you know organic on Twitter that is so on par with the culture that we're reinforcing but I think we have to have a strategy around how we're broadening or Amplifying towards objectives and I think he'd be stunned back to the smile. I had of like 25 dollars in ad spend It's pretty powerful. I'll give an example. I know that we can run $250 on Instagram story ads in Minnesota with a Instagram overlay sticker of a pole or a question That will probably give us more insights than every single thing. We've done so far in social So I think what this leads me to the last meeting we had and now the one we're having now I think we need to think about The team coming to New York and spending a full day with my team So that we can do this patate and then you guys can filter and say we like this Hey, we don't love this as much. Let's have that combo So that's where I'm going with that I just want to make sure that every dollar we spend in media to make something happen Goes through a veiner test me or my scale team because no one like that is my legacy

### [15:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc_PthJQvTI&t=900s) Segment 4 (15:00 - 20:00)

Like my legacy is Wine Library really had no money Like we'd be building my fame like it's still money in comparison to impact. I want to make sure that we're scrappy org I really I want to be great at and I think we have the permission to be great at it And I think I'm uniquely You know without hyperbole great at it for like so I want at least transfer that in the best way we can like tick tock It's we're in the Alpha program beta program. It's one cent views Like we like let's be the team that has like that, you know, we're gonna have like we're gonna talk about it But there's gonna be 14 objectives and bucks. Right? So like then synthesizing and saying you know what? disproportion winning on tick tock is Perception is reality And the new thing which is gonna help us get Target for Best Buy Because when they see that we have five hundred thousand followers on tick tock that's gonna be the new cloud and then Laveau Helps us get 100k which then helps us spend eight thousand a month. See where I'm going The blueprint He said that it was talking, Texas, El Paso It was when you're like the greatest advice I could ever get someone it's do what I believe That shit It's true because I'm scared to be wrong You know people see so much for me. I'm always talking, but I don't talk about a lot of stuff I'm narrow and deep I'm definitely consistent cuz I'm because I'm narrow and all I'm trying to do is try shit like The reason I can be right about snap or tick-tock when they pop it's because I'm already doing and I've seen that something happens there whether they last for 20 years from one year is Irrelevant, it's do. You know what the fuck is happening right now? Everyone's like Gary Let's see if tick tock is real. I'm like notes. It's already real what you're asking is Like Seinfeld was real that was seven seasons SNL is real for 30 seasons. I would argue Empire was real for two-and-a-half seasons like no No, there is no let's see if tick tock was real Tick tocks real it happened. You're saying will it be like vine and go away after three years? Or will it be like Facebook and have a 20-year run? It's irrelevant because tons of people extracted enormous value Success happiness and other things from vine in its two years like Charlie D'Amelio Tik toks real for her forever and whilst other buddy house is waiting to see if it's around for four years before they jump in That shit Hey, I'm Andrea, I'm the chief marketing officer And we just got back from this pretty cool trip to Minneapolis, and we did a bunch of different things We hung out with some clients, but my favorite thing was we convened a whole bunch of friends and family For a breakfast people in the Midwest they loved getting together for food. I'm from the Midwest so I can say that from Wisconsin But yeah A lot of what we're doing now is we're trying to really capitalize on the time that Gary has as he's traveling around the country or the world and make the most of it and so in addition to Having just kind of one-off meetings We try to go out and look for people that are you know part of his fan base or different potential You know business partners that we want to have conversations with and we invite them to come together and to meet one another and so What we do is we try to keep them kind of small and create an opportunity for everybody to exchange ideas And maybe even feel a little bit vulnerable and admitting the kinds of challenges that they're facing Could be you know in their roles, it could be something that's more personal And the great thing is that Gary really sets the tone for that in a way that I personally have never seen before in my career So he kicks things off by Welcoming everybody and asking them to join in one conversation. So we might have 12 people or even up to 20 people around a table and we ask that everybody just engages in this one single conversation So don't break off and have a discussion with your mate neighbor But rather we tee it up with You know something that can be highly engaging maybe a little provocative and then people chime on in and it's almost a sport Surprise Gary's always turning everything into a support into a sport But people we get a lot of great reactions and we get to know people Really quickly that way and I think people meet one another in a way. That's a bit more memorable

### [20:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc_PthJQvTI&t=1200s) Segment 5 (20:00 - 25:00)

And they meet more people Rather than just the ones that you're sitting next to at any kind of a marketing or networking event And so we're trying to do these things across the country and around the world So hoping to see some of you guys out there and some of our upcoming events I also think it's gonna be it's the inner This is the Internet meaning like I would pay $2. 99 a month for the Jets for just jets TV Like the wrong tail of this is quite long, you know like it I think Google is really working on the most interesting part to this which is The balloons in outer space to give everyone free Internet is the biggest thing that's looming that can change here If that happens if we up all have internet for free for real and our gateway Toby is Google's all of a sudden cable televisions and deep shit. Cuz right now they're forcing us To buy cable because it is it cost more money to buy just Internet that internet and cable From most internet providers now because we're diggin the outcome of cable because they don't want to give up that game You add that variable. I think the number will obviously it's gonna be wealth and interest It's a combination of how much can you afford and how many things are you actually into? Correct and then to everyone's point. I'm sure we would all agree spent four hours on this There'll be a group of four to five that are like the catch-all right is it is your core? netflix and this and then all of us would probably round out with the constellations of like three little $4. 99 a month because you're like sewing and like somebody can listen. I'm really excited about this like back to transparency I genuinely think it's unlikely that I do not launch a veiner ODT in the next 20 years And I'll just meet my little universe and I'll wherever I am at that point between my content and the things I buy the IP rights for or develop I'll have my 1 million subscribers at 8 bucks a month and of you that's a nice business like I like that's fun to have a 100 million dollar top-line revenue You know makes it like I think you're gonna see a lot more of that than people think I think what you're seeing with Celebrities and humans that are building vtc brands that are actually viable a lot of them are underwater because there's too much VC money But like actual viable, I think you're gonna see that with content. I really do I mean there's a I think all right now I'm so hot on sports cards and Colet like actually flipping if you think about storage wars and flipper like clearly there's a flipping OTT like a that thing OTT for 4 bucks a month that you could have a lot of people and I would be one of those people you Know WWE there's a lot like you're gonna see a lot of people gonna get listen There's an entrepreneur she or he is sitting right now thinking like wait I'm gonna get the NBA local rice and the first team is on that's available stimbler I'm gonna convince them and I'm not so sure they're gonna raise a ton of money there There's so much money at them that it's gonna make it worth them to take the risk of the Minnesota OTP It's just all gonna happen. It's cable all over again. It's TV what TV did to radio all over again. It literally never stops repeating Well, that's what happened with that flexi bowl When people don't realize in what I'm actually doing is I'm actually building what I think is the next version of private equity Which is vaynermedia's infrastructure is built to buy businesses, but hyper grow them Whereas what you're walking into those are financial engineers, right? Those are finance people. Yeah, I'm business growth so when you buy Puma Because you're wealthy enough in nine years and the economy collapses and they were so over leveraged You can buy it for 400 million instead of 8 billion That's really my goal. That's my path to the Jets bill this in this chapter wait for the world to melt by JanSport or puma or Pete's coffee chain, or PC Richards some sort of brand become the CEO of that Buy something that today is 5 billion for 800 million and then flip it for 11 billion because I'm great at that Right. All right, and then b61 and by the jetson start winning symbols I love that you will it into existence? I below I really think it's gonna happen and what's fun is like, you know by that point we'll know each other for 33 years and like just the stories right you like this fucking like it'll be like he really fucking but husbands for 30 years I've vlog we're here in Indy. It's Thursday. It's been a productive week I'm in a very Midwest kind of all week Minnesota a couple days ago got into Indy yesterday did a bunch of meetings for Vayner sports Combine tonight's a big night five of our kids are performing Primetime for the combine now footballs become a twelvemonth Sport where people want to watch kids prep for the giraffe on primetime TV We're going into a very big banner sports meeting now where we're laying out our strategy post-mortem of this craft class

### [30:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc_PthJQvTI&t=1800s) Segment 7 (30:00 - 35:00)

Glad you see that I know what the game is. Thank you. Thank you so much. I'm so glad we met What that gentleman? Understands, is that for all the shit we're talking about his You know apex moment was understanding that when you document and you share The people who you most care about your family Get the blueprints they get your thoughts. They get your legacy, you know, so many people Have lived lives where they wanted to instill wisdom and their truths And who they were to their family and didn't have the luxury of modern technology in the internet, you know My great great grandkids are watching this right now. It happens to me 220 years from now but it's real and so that young man who look like a fucking linebacker understood that and that's why he's happy and that is what the context of this was which is if you get nothing in The short-term accomplishments you're looking for from the content you put out on the Internet You are leaving your legacy for a blueprint at a relationship with you forevers maybe Yeah, I think people are insecure and I think when you hide metrics it helps people because they're all pandering clear metrics And I've not only been a proponent at Highland likes. I actually recently started talking about hiding followers and people with like a lot of my friends like whoa, that's gonna hurt you or like Hurt me. I don't derive my clout or influence or success and definitely not my happiness from how many fucking followers I have So and more importantly I know it's hurting others. And so I'm willing to sacrifice For the greater good of the world It's laughable that one would derive their self-esteem from these metrics and I think the platforms are noticing that and I'm I would argue you may see a day and age when The most popular platform at the time actually, it's not showing us how many followers one has Oh, you would know if we eliminate how many followers once has? You know dove candy chocolate would still be able to see if the rock has followers the analytics on the back end I'll show you forever. This is more about front-facing, you know, so I loved influencer marketing I think most humans don't know how to price themselves which means a high percentage of them are wildly overpriced It also were wildly under priced for the attention and cosines of giving a brand or business in return and I could add word-of-mouth and Influence to word of mouth has been around forever John Wayne got paid by cigarette companies to smoke a cigarette and and in five hundred years some robot will be paid to About the oil the robot uses for their joints. This is never going away. It's in perpetuity And now there's way more people that have way more influence.

Beyond how much you value other people's judgments see on how you want to navigate the next 85 years of your life I don't give a shit in a good way. Maybe like I'm gonna start changing terminology.

Don't cry a Vote be moved to Sweden But it's an interesting sentence Because what we're doing is we're keyboard worrying and crying at Starbucks with our $6 coffee When we could you know many kids are not gonna vote move to Canada that they love so much It's kind of like, you know however You want to say it wrong old school like shut the fuck up and do something about it You want to say new school, which is like hey you're empowered I don't give a shit how you want to say it life is fucking amazing when you fucking grab it and I really think a lot of kids right now can grab it in a way they can't this internet thing is crazy Like you should be the most optimistic generation of all time You have the Internet like when I was a kid, they cared about what college you went to When I was a kid at 15, I couldn't start a billion-dollar business like I would have if I had the Internet at 15 or at least $1,000,000 eBay business, you know, and so much power so much control more than ever before ever before.
