An Entrepreneur Takes Helsinki by Storm for a Day | DailyVee 459

[ __ ] get perspective we're so [ __ ] lucky stop crying I'm the biggest believer in humans in a macro it's why we're still here but in the micro it's hard for us to get so excited to eliminate plastic straws because Turtles get choked by that right it's just hard or stop eating this thing that's delicious in return for this thing that's not delicious because in 400 years they'll be better for your great lakes so what I would say is too much ideology more practicality and more short-term benefits are a very important starting point so our model is if your brands that does a commercial and it cost eight hundred thousand dollars in out-of-pocket and creative and production we try to convince that client to do six or five or four or three long-form Facebook videos for that same cost which can first fit different demographics right because when you do one commercial it's just vanilla whereas you know if you star an Asian you know family and their 20s and target asian-american or Europeans in their 20s you're gonna over index in relevance housenki bound about to give this keynote I'm shipping his head cuz we're settling a bet 100 bucks for film 100 anniversary but right that being couldn't find any so we should yeah we don't we settle the scores around here lights they come they go with stock the show goes on and now just wants a piece of fuzz we made a bet to shave his head for a hundred bucks he said when you get the Helsinki we will uh we will take care of it so I'm gonna pull out my hundred dollars I've never shaved the man's head before so I hope this doesn't hurt you good goal boy all right I'm gonna do the first cut then I'm gonna move you on over and give the key no cuz that's what you're here for but are you ready this is [ __ ] awesome some of the biggest things I'm pushing right now is be very aggressive in your 20s and try a lot of things some people are naturally self-aware and have a very clear vision others are still trying to figure it out I think the answer for the if I can bring value to the most people here is if you 100% conviction and you know exactly what you're passionate about and what you're good about well then go but if you have any doubt early on this is where you could take the most risk right what most humans do is start making money and then start creating debt or overhead that puts them into a box the beauty of being in your 20s is you don't have money or stuff often and so that allows you the freedom to try [ __ ] and during them you're like this trying [ __ ] around AI or AR or crypto blockchain is a great thing because you may stumble on your passion and what you're good at so both can work it comes down to the individual vlogging is not going to stop there's no reason for it to stop people have an inherent need to communicate it's who we are it's what we've done forever drawing on caves smoke signals writing we communicate so vlogging will not is just beginning everybody will do it where those videos are being consumed will change through the years I think the next three or four years is a Facebook YouTube world and let me give you one other piece of ice if you're saying yourself [ __ ] then what do I do you're never gonna know the alternative if you go in all in on a project you're never gonna be able to figure out if you tried other things so this is more about being optimistic or pessimistic as a human being you know if in ten years if you didn't try something else even if you're successful and you're a pessimist you're gonna make up in your own mind then if you did something else it would have been better so I think this is about making a decision not dwelling or pondering on what if because what-ifs crippled people 99% likely it won't happen but if your 1% that's good enough to actually execute and get to the place where you go global then you get to go global but nobody is global right away but everybody looks at Facebook and uber like uber started in just San Francisco ubers so guys what we're spending a year and a half just trying to figure out San Francisco a year and a half dinner sale yeah no it's not it's a long

time in the way that you're wired right now yeah a year and a half is nothing so when I met you first time 2011 yes right after that I founded my own agency yes and what shop don't screw the rocks angular I founded the agency I sold everything I had and my apartment on eBay and today we are twelve people and about 1 million euro in revenues relations what's the biggest mistake people do where they are where I am now at this point yeah I think they get impatient yeah it took you all this time to get here now you got this nice little Foundation and now you're saying okay I'm gonna go from 1 million euros to five million 10 million it's just the same old game it's no different to Joanna like everybody's mistake from the beginning to the end is lack of patience and practicality everybody wants things to fast like you were able to get here the answer for you to continue in a client service business is more of the same but what happens is people start getting loose when they have money or when they're going in the right direction so I think you know I mean I think the thing that you need to continue to do is continue to hone your craft and whatever the agency does get more clients and then also keep an eye on any technology that can disrupt the other mistake people make is for example in 2009 the mistake that people made as a 1 mil Belair agency was they because they made their million on Google they disrespected Facebook got it so the there's two mistakes people make ones offense ones defense you know going nice and slow is defensive in some ways they try to become a rabbit instead of a turtle right and that's the mistake and then number two they disrespect what's happening around them so for me I never play in the middle I'm very insular to what I'm doing and then I'm paying attention to the macro things that can [ __ ] up what I'm doing and I respect those energies if they're bigger than me competitors are not bigger than me platforms are bigger than me you understand so I think those would be the mistakes you might make you gotta bro happy birthday thank you I was talking to Chinese couple and the male of the male-female duo asked a very good question which I didn't really have an answer for but it was how he's approaching it from the largest sovereign state in the world or whatever it is right and there's 195 200 of these and one global system so his question was where or how does how does a sovereign state with all its institutions with all its you know mechanisms in place effectively control or manage the tide of automation that is on its way well you know I think that we are under estimating our ability to find new things for people to do I mean everybody said that the farming was the infrastructure to our society like you know there was a time and age when machines were invented that eliminated farming jobs and everybody said that it would ruin our world because everybody was a [ __ ] farmer but then we did other [ __ ] for example David's career is to film another human being and travel with him this is not a career that I think a lot of us knew existed 20 years ago so I think that when people start talking about at the a very heavy [ __ ] like you're asking me which is what happens when AI really hits scale and we eliminate jobs driverless cars in America truck driving is the number one job in a like what happens they go find to do something else like this is what always happens like there used to not like people used to ride a horse and then a car was invented but the man was a I was a horse person I drove a horse to get people around that's how I paid for my family's life here's a car oh my god not oh my god you did something else true entrepreneurs don't cry about what they don't have they focus on what they do have and so if you're in the Ukraine and the rules of the government and the eco system are what they are you deal with it and you know in the u. s. I'm an entrepreneur that works 18 hours a day and have sacrificed 20 years and I give up more than half of my income to the government to give to people who don't that's the rules of America you play within the rules of your game so my biggest point of view on

humans analyzing humans is that we underestimate us in parallel here's what I think people who dwell on oh my god AI is coming meanwhile so it's space exploration let's say space exploration works let's say all of us here actually want to live on the moon let's just play you got much [ __ ] we have to do up there like III think there's enormous underestimation of the human spirit it's how I think about terrorism if terrorism was as real as people think it is there'd be a terrorist act with a car driving through people in London Paris and New York every day of the week it's unstoppable to stop somebody from getting into a car wreck and driving into a bunch of people we underestimate how good the human spirit is and how capable since 1950 there's been a human that's had the ability to blow up the whole [ __ ] place I mean it so to answer your question very easily because what humans do not sovereign states is find other [ __ ] to do so if you work in a [ __ ] telemarketing station right now and AI is gonna answer all those questions and you're not gonna have a job anymore you're gonna find a different job like following somebody around with a camera we haven't done a solid airport Gary in a while but it's warm here in Finland oh-ho that I want so many of you that have but you're at a crossroads and there's confusion in the system it doesn't feel the way you wanted to do something about it the answer to every single thing running through your dome right now is so what are you gonna do about it because the reality is it's halftime and halftime adjustments are sexy real good the to me buying and doing something to get some money then going and buying things that are under price and then selling them and if we have technology eBay Facebook marketplace Craigslist or like at a flea market that is literally something everybody on earth we're live all right what where's my [ __ ] where's my chat gets ass got caught I need my [ __ ] can you put you can you keep with the chat where's the chat oh I know but what about what is this I understand I feel like I don't like [ __ ] like that let's go [ __ ] how do you are I lived that life I lived in a whole time entire game I don't know how to bury it my keepers that nd [ __ ] tea let's [ __ ] coat which come see me did you separate out its which world with one no the winners get gifts over here so we presenting Garry with the trophy you know he's blossoming in the world of sick media social entrepreneurship this is [ __ ] amazing tell everybody what this is about that talent spongebob um marijuana plant and oh you see this spongebob has to be ah he's feeling really good it's a collaboration about myself and Ron English and made by monsters so we have the hand-delivered to Gary we got three different versions I got the gold one yeah we got a gold one break down the numbers this came out sold out so gold sold out first and how much let's run with this how many units it's 500 units and s-sir sold out and how much was this 650 all of them sold out if any black can open the other ones for me so we've got you got the whole set 650 on this one you know and now other two is called
