GOOD IS THE GATEWAY TO GREAT | DailyVee 128

- [Charlie] I really actually believe your take on the business of music. The B2C and B2B-- - Correct. ("Legendary" by Welshly Arms) - What if I told you this was the last Monday morning of your life? ("Riot" by Jon Waltz) - [Gary] Hey Dad, just calling you to tell you I love you. Hope you're having a good day, hit me back. Yeah. Yep. Morning guys, going up to North Jersey. Heading to see a client. It's been a hectic week ending days at like 12, one o'clock. Glad this week's over. Get a little rest this weekend. My nephew Max's seventh birthday, laser tag. Should be fun. About to go on Instagram Live to promote this "50 Seconds To Every 50 Year Old. " I am on a mission for every 50 year old in the world to see this, so if you got a 50 year old aunt, uncle, brother, sister, child. Please, please send it on. Link it up here Babin. Give me a little edit here. Like give me something. A little clip of it. I mean crap, you could play the whole damn thing. It's only 50 seconds. I need you to understand something. You have so much time. I am flabbergasted by how many people think that at 50 it's over. Avi, how old are you? - [Avi] 44. - 44. Like, remember how old you thought 44 was, 20 years ago. - [Avi] (laughs) Yes. - Like finished, right? - [Avi] Correct. - And doesn't it feel crazy how young you feel right now? - [Avi] I feel energized. - Yeah, I feel like. Well especially now with this new job. The energy's just bolting in your fuckin' face. 24/7. There's a fuckload of 50-year-olds that think their life is over. That think it's over. 'Cause they've been playing for 30 years professionally, they're tired. They've been an accountant for 30 years, they hate it. But they don't see any way out. Because they don't realize that there's Instagram Live. 'Cause Facebook groups. they can do a blog. 'Cause they don't realize they're a great writer. And if they did 14 Medium posts, they can blow up. And so I'm on a mission to get them to understand that there's still 30, 40 years of amazing things. Modern health, these people are gonna be healthy for another 30 years. 30. You know how much shit you can get done in 30 years Avi? You were 14, 30 years ago Av? - [Avi] That's correct. - How old are you? - [Other Tyler] 23. - You were fuckin' negative seven, mother fucker. (group laughter) This motherfucker was negative seven. I just, I want this one. You know? How old are your parents? - [Other Tyler] 45. - So, what the fuck? Did you send it to your parents yet? - [Other Tyler] I will. - No, give me the camera. Let's do it right now. Bam, you like that Avi? That's the gangster shit I do, you did it? - [Other Tyler] Mom's got it. - [Gary] Mom's got it. Can't wait 'til she sees it. India, I love you back. You think mom's gonna be mad at you that you said, hey mom watch this, but it's for 50 year olds and she's 45? - [Other Tyler] Yeah, you might've gotten me in trouble. - Yeah (laughing) - I love it. You know this 50 for 50 video I made? - [Woman] Yeah. - Five seconds ago. - The head of (censored) wants me to give a keynote now. How fucking cool is that? Av, it's amazing how like that works, right? How are you? - That meeting, on the 31st that we had? - Which one? - James, Alex, Sophie. Linda, Dan. Content and theory would stem from the direction we get out of this meeting.

- Okay, all good, all good stuff. - [Woman 2] Okay. Cool. (camera shutter clicking) - Right then and there. That they were completely lost in the reality of the world. I think the funniest part of that statement is actually, take the word music out and put in any other word and it's the same thing. People are just completely not quantifying the communication shifts of our society. Can I give you a great piece of advice? Are you off the label now? Put out as much music as possible, as often as possible. And mix it between covers and original. The end. And if you're good enough, you will win. Andy, how many video interns do you want? What do you say video, like. - [Andy] 500. No seriously, but like chopping like editing? - [Andy] Chopping, editing, formatting for Facebook. - Okay. Interns? - [Andy] Interns. - I'm gonna have them DM you. - Okay. - [Andy] Can I speak with you because I-- - I want full time interns. I want Babins. If you're coming to intern, you're not going back anywhere. For at least a year. Like why? We lose all our value. And the other thing is like, no matter what, I'm talking to you 'cause you're so recent. No matter what the person comes in with. If you're good. If you're good, I mean you went through, I mean, if you're good. You come in, if you're like I'm gonna do this for a year, I'm gonna fuckin' blow up my brand. That's I mean, what did you, actually, fuckin' let's go right to it. What did you think was gonna happen? - [Other Tyler] I mean, all I ever do was like work for you for a year, and then go do my own thing. - Right and now? Same? - [Other Tyler] But now I'm gonna be here for a while. - Yeah so like because what happens is that, that's amazing, because that's exactly. Were you just filming that? - [Other Tyler] Yeah. - Yeah, we need, that is in the episode. Because that's the punchline. Dopey Phil, he interned too. We are, we all understand what's about to happen, right? - How do you divide your time, if you don't mind me asking? How much is running this and your other business enterprises separately, your-- - GaryVee stuff? - [Matthew] Inspirational, motivational-- - I would say, it is 90% VaynerMedia. Why the inspirational, motivational GaryVee thing works, is 'cause there's 11 people right there doing it. - [Matthew] So little time gets magnified like that. - He's recording everything. And so, when there's a quote card, when there's a inspirational quote on Instagram that's getting viral, it was just something I said in a meeting. Especially when I hang out with a character like you, where we take it to such a macro, you might have a fuckin' weeks worth of quote content. Right, you know. So you have some of that stuff. - [Matthew] What do you mean? - Those, now what I do as an entrepreneur 'cause I don't have to do it in a corporate environment, is I actually see every one of those things through. When I, here's a good example. Tyler, yesterday, when I was like hey I've got an idea. I make a video, 50 seconds for a 50 year old. I make it, I put money behind it. And it's gone completely batshit today. - Limiting the space between idea, inspiration, and creation and action. - And then I do tons of things that are bombs, but it's easy and as long, and the net score's always positive, and it's from a yes attitude. If you have a no attitude, you do none of them. You know, like anyway, so this is all of this. Where am I going? (background chatter) Hey, this is actually perfect. Meet my friend Matthew. - [Matthew] I'm Matthew. - Ben Soffer. - [Matthew] Hi Ben. - [Ben] Nice to meet you. - I'm Mike. - Hey Mike, Matthew. - We're gonna have a conversation. (camera shutter clicking) Every brand has what you have. Everybody's got somebody who's big, who believes and then if you can find the right combo or connective tissue and I appreciate the chance thing because I haven't been saying it that way, that maybe the person not only does the sponsored thing, but is the executive producer of something that we're really hacking for success, but they have their say. Creatively, you can have-- - All our (mumbles). - 3rd and 4th, 5th space. - Sure, essentially the-- - [Gary] What's it called? - I've just been finding whatever. - No, no phone. - No phone, just do it in person? - Tell him, tell him no, I want it, tell him I tried to push Gary to it. He said this is too important and I hate-- - Got it, that bullshit, yeah I get it. - And then like, call him real quick and be like yo this is good. When he really likes something, when it's super important, he doesn't even wanna do phone, yeah. (camera shutter clicking) So, uh. Just like that it's 3:41 P. M., it literally feels like it's 9:30. I don't know man, being busy is amazing, because you get so much shit done. Especially the way I do it, fives and tens and fifteens, maybe there's a good chance, we should be doing

some new kind of editing. So here's a good chance for maybe all the B-roll you caught up like one second, it's like... "Out Out" is doing better than a TV Commercial, I would actually really like to talk to you about possibly joining the board. And straight up, if you just wanna like really fuck with the system. - Which, six months ago I was more protective. - It would be amazing if we could actually show that. - [Other Tyler] Trying to think of how I can edit it together. - You can't, you can't. You probably learned more about business in the last hour, than you've learned in your whole life. And that's the game. If you wanna be an anomaly, great, you gotta do different things. And so I think people waste time all the time, schedule all time, just waste time. Make decisions, do it fast, get a lot done. And this is what people tell you, when they get context from my world. I'm getting a weeks worth of work in, in a day. Which is why I'm getting so much done. And I think it's because I understand that most things don't matter. And that if you move fast, of course certain plates will hit the ground. But, a lot of plates won't. And it's a hell of a lot better than thinking about how your gonna keep four plates up in the air. And never doing it. - [Charlie] The way you beat everybody, I think, is you only get data if somehow gut was put in to the atmosphere, right? So then people can make a decision on that. Film, that song, that artist, but someone has to make a decision, the artist's gut, the executive, the talent manager, the platform. Someone has to put something out there, for there to be data. So the part of gut for data to me, is absolutely the most interesting. That's why I would say the next biggest talent, is already out there playing somewhere. - [Gary] Talk to a girl today-- - It's the process of finding that talent and also making a bet on what you see and what you feel. - And what people have been doing that look like you and I, is they curtail themselves. Drake would have two albums right now if it was 1984. Maybe three. - Your right. - [Gary] I know. I don't know anything about the music business. But that part I know. And you know, fucking Russ, in Atlanta is only famous 'cause he puts out a song every week. - Right. - More is more man. - Mikey actually said that you need to be the chairman. - And that person's right. - [Charlie] More is more. - More is more. Ready? If you're good enough? I'm good enough! - [Charlie] How about this, we put out an album, it gets old by a week. Isn't that interesting? If you put an album out of 10 or 12 songs, what the streaming guys were telling us, is the album becomes old very quick. What does that mean? Feed the beast, more is more. - [Gary] More is more. - [Charlie] You made a hit yesterday right? - Yes. Today. - [Charlie] How many times do you put hits out and how many times did you hit singles and doubles, right? - Correct. - Right so, from a competitive point of view you wanna always put, I always say good is the evil of great. - If Drake put out 365 days of songs for the rest of his life, he would win. If he's capable. - [Charlie] Is good the evil of great? - No. Good is the gateway to great. (laughing) - You guys gotta follow me, me here. I want you to look at my shit. Gary V. - You remember me from LA right? - [Charlie] Yeah, man. Charlie. - From the Ritz, this is the president of Republic. - [Charlie] Hi, Charlie. - Oh it's nice to meet you. - GaryVee! I gotta get a picture. - [Gary] Let's do it man. - There's no way. I got GaryVee-- - I'm here. - and the president of freaking Republic right here. You kidding me. - [Charlie] My brother. - [Gary] Good guy. - [Julian] What kind of day is this? - [Gary] What's your name? - Julian Bow. I'm a huge fan, I got all three of your books. - Thank you so much, brother. Thank you. - Nice to meet you man. - [Julian] He's gonna own the Jets one day! - That's true! Remember when hip hop artists wanted to be athletes? And athletes wanted to be hip hop artists? - They say rock starts wanna be musicians and musicians wanna be rock starts, yeah. - Right. They both wanna be entrepreneurs. - Now they wanna be entrepreneurs? - And there's only one entrepreneur for them. (clicks tongue) And that's why you just saw what you just saw. If you were confused. - Shit's about to go down. (Gary laughs) ("Riot" by Jon Waltz) I'm feeling really good about what's going on. And you see it right, you see the chirping, right? Doing the right thing is always the right thing, Tyler. Just is man. I was so pumped you were in that meeting Linds. - [Lindsay] I know. - You know 'cause I love you so much and I know a lot about you. like, I just I know a lot about you. And I love that meeting, you're there just because

that's the action and the game and the heights that you wanna be playing at. And so it makes the (censored) meeting palpable in the clouds and dirt world. We have to have those meetings to make all the other shit palpable in the short term. (camera shutter clicking) Yeah! (laughing) - [Man] So what we did was, we have a ritual in the office, started seven years back when we started this company. 9:30 in the morning they have a 15 minute ritual, 2:30 in the afternoon ritual. We start with some kind of chanting and praying and everybody embraces the energy. You know they don't think of the negative stuff as much. Then there's a motivational video from GaryVee and in the afternoon. - [Gary] Wow, I'm very flattered. - [Man] So I'm thinking does Gary even know that? I think he's counting it as one view. And there's 120 of us watching two videos, every single day for the last, you know how every many years that you've putting out on, every single day. We can not be missed by one person in the office. So these are the three trajectories that happen. (video playing on phone) - What up Internet Moguls? It's me GaryVee. You may know that, I think you see me a whole bunch, because of this dude! Had a great meeting, I just wanna send my love. Thank you so much for the love that you gave me first, and I can't wait to actually meet you guys. - [Man] Thanks, Gary. ("Riot" by Jon Waltz) - Good to see you. All well? - [Man 2] Yeah. - [ASAP] Hey, how are you doing buddy? - It's a real pleasure, my man, how are you? It's all good man! - I appreciate it. - What's up man? - [Man 3] How are you, sir? - How are you? - [Man 3] Good! - [Gary] It's so funny right, when people meet people, everybody thinks you are, like America loves to put you in one part. - [ASAP] Yeah, being a rapper is one part of me, and I went to college for marketing so. - I totally get it. Same thing with my crossover, when I started dropping references like "Oh, you love hip hop? " I'm like, "Why wouldn't I? " That's just America, America's obsessed with like, you're a basketball player, you're a painter, you're an entrepreneur. - [ASAP] This is music to my ear, this is just letting me know everything I'm thinking is right. - [Gary] It's more right than you think. (group laughter) It's don't hedge anymore. - Yeah. - [Gary] Forget everything you grew up with and you think is real. - [ASAP] Yeah. - And turn it from color to black and white, start over and go with that gut. - [ASAP] What's going on in your head right now? Are you who you wanted to be? In your head, already? - [Gary] I always knew I was gonna be the biggest. - That's what I'm saying so you are who you wanted to be in your head? - [Gary] Yeah. - That's crazy 'cause I didn't think it would stop, so good, it's a point where you get to stop. - [Gary] No no! - No I'm not talking about stop working, what I'm saying-- - [Gary] No no, you're already there too. - [ASAP] No. - No, you are let me explain what I mean - [ASAP] Alright. - It is and it isn't. "I'm the best and I don't mean shit. " "I did it and I haven't even started. " Once you learn how to pull from both sides, you're set. Let's get to know each other. - [ASAP] Yeah, I can't wait. ("Riot" by Jon Waltz) - It's very close. This? I fucking, I'll fit it easy. - [Man 4] Ah, from the same guy. Full zip. - Holy shit! I'm fucking wearing this shit all the time! (group laughter) Holy shit. I might change. Holy, of course. I'm 100%! - This guy sent you like an amazing package. - You know what? When you decide somebody did it real proper? Come in with your phone, tell me who it is, I'll make a video and give 'em real love and we gotta send it back. - Alright, we'll do that. - Yeah. Holy shit! This is so swagged out. It's the compound of the momentum. By the way, what about when I have my one video or one moment off the big famous, I was zero and made videos that would get a lot of things, when you got base like this, what I know that I'm gonna do, is not change. You evolve but I'm pumping out content, like I don't give a fuck what's going on and I'm gonna say something and that video's gonna get 47 million views. - [Emily] See how you just react to the market and wait and like you counter puncture? - Yeah - [Emily] Yeah, I think I'm going on the offense in 2017. This is what's happening this month, we're doing it and then doing it. So, yeah, I'm making progress. - [Gary] I think I'm gonna do the call-in show.

- [Emily] Oh yeah? - [Gary] Yeah. - [Emily] Now is a good time. - I think I am. Hey everybody, this is Gary Vay-ner-chuk. And this is episode 239 of the #AskGaryVee Show! - [Andy] Dude, we haven't even started yet. Bringing these people on. I've talked to a couple of hip hop dudes and they all just DM'd you. Yesterday they were like, "Yo, what's going on with Saba? " "Why are they meeting with Gary? " "Does he listen to my music? " (group laughter) - Let's get outta here. ("Riot" by Jon Waltz)
