### [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ZkWDQKSH4) Intro

on this episode we talk about Germany my impending tragic death and being addicted to the Internet it's like an intense show you ask questions and I answer them this is the Ask Gary ve show hey everybody this is Gary ve nerd chock and this is episode 84 of the Ask Gary ve show you like that mircat that was just for the mircat audience who said my energy was whacked for 83 which it was cuz I was pissed cuz I lost a basketball game deal with it uh one thing I'm dealing with is we just opened a 12th floor uh a third floor here uh at Vayner media and I don't know if it's because it's a good Friday but like we are not as packed in on this floor the energy level is concerning so we'll be taping an episode taping I like that we'll be recording we'll be producing an episode uh from floor 12 very shortly so looking forward to that uh big shout out to uh Copenhagen I'm going there next week that excites me for a conference uh and uh let's get into the show India ready all right Jill asks one are you

### [1:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ZkWDQKSH4&t=86s) Do you get a lot of quality ideas when you crowdsource a question? Do you crowdsource ideas more to engage with your audience or to get serious ideas?

going to pursue my idea two do you get a lot of quality ideas when you crowdsource a question and three do you crowdsource ideas more to engage with your audience or to actually get serious ideas like mine Jill this is a great question first and foremost uh it is not you only your idea that idea of a subscription wine thing has been going on oh I don't know for about five and a half six seven years now I've been pounded with that idea um but to answer if we're going to do it the answer is I'm not sure uh why I've been getting more involved with the Wine Library lately there's a lot of different objectives that I want to accomplish that are more top of list um but the uh the kind of Gary ve subscription or Wine Library subscription thing is definitely interesting and it's something we're pondering I mean wine in the month clubs have been on forever and of course personalization or all the other variables you can add to it get it got it solid idea love your picture by the way on Instagram um yeah I think we get quality ideas and more importantly quality subjective right to me it's my form of listening uh and so yeah I think I get some quality ideas at times I mean the truth is I uh to answer the third part of your question do I do it uh to engage or am I really looking for the ideas um you know I'm very inary with my ideas I don't like getting ideas from other places um and so I do it more to engage to and to listen and to get a pulse and to collect and their inputs their lightweight like it would be rare for me to just take Stefan's idea but hearing Stefan's idea and India's ideas and drock's ideas and stunwin ideas and just they're all little inputs and then it forms some version I always feel like I've got to put my sprinkles on it um that's been successful for me and so I think that I'm taking the inputs of the world it's why I do so much listening uh so much engaging to get to like an 85 90% place and then I do my thing on top of that and that's where the good stuff comes

### [3:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ZkWDQKSH4&t=215s) I find myself preferring to create content and engaging online vs going out, shopping or partying. I've never been a party person before, but I wondering if I'm creating a sort of addiction to the internet. How much of your time is creating content vs making appearances and attending social things like parties?

comes from Megan asks how much of you is creating content versus making appearances and attending social things like parties Megan this is a great question I often say that uh money and fame don't change anybody they just expose who someone actually is at a bigger scale and there's an enormous part of me that believes there's a lot of Truth in that in technology as well right um we're not making you know people like I had this funny argument with this guy at one Library the other day where he was like you know all these phones nobody the art of like talking to each other I was in he goes I was in Starbucks this was great and everybody was head down nobody was talking to each other I was like where were you he's like New York I'm like all right let's talk about this for a second I'm like do you think 13 years ago at Starbucks that people were just yapping with each other like Hey Brother great shirt that's not how New York rolls my man and so I think that all that technolog is doing is making more visible what we actually were going to do I mean I do believe the far majority of people are introverted at first at scale by math if you if you asked me or any I think Common Sense person in society I think we'd all agree I'm looking for some Reformation here like there's way more people that are going to sit either timid or middle timid or somewhat timid then somebody who's just going to roll up I mean the reason we love and hate the like the people that just roll up and are loud zoom in real good you got him yeah really on that angle you get him oh yeah you got Gabe right there like the reason Gabe who works at Vayner media is someone that so many people know is cuz he's loud as [ __ ] right and some people love it and some people hate it right but that's why he's an extrovert extreme he's probably like singing his song right now looks like he's in a meeting he's probably just doing some Drake lyrics while he works I mean and so I think that it's important for us to understand that yeah first of all could you be having an addiction sure I mean look I mean I think everybody's addicted to their cellular device I fully believe that every single person's addicted to their cell phone like straight up and so um maybe but I would say this I think that it's great for all the introverts or the people that don't like the party and don't like to go out what they were doing before were they were interacting with the television I mean let's call it what it is or with like a very small group of one or two friends who equally were close in location to them and were like that now people can really communicate at scale with the people have similar interests find new people and all that kind of stuff and so I think that you are fine I think your picture is rad I think you and I are friends Max asks I'm from Germany where mircat is nothing more than a cute

### [6:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ZkWDQKSH4&t=399s) What are your thoughts on social Media Marketing in other countries? I'm from Germany and Meerkat is nothing more than a cute Animal. And even Twitter is not as dominant than in the US. Would you recomment to still go there and wait? And to sit there and hope?

animal and Twitter isn't even as dominant as it is in the US would you recommend that I still go there and wait Max I think that the question is very solid but actually you should have been able to level up and figure it out for yourself here's what I mean by that it's the same thesis that I talk about in the US I mircat is just an animal in the US too like and so is Periscope and so was Snapchat 38 months ago like uh yes every like here's an answer will every country like the same social networking apps and they will hit scale absolutely not it's funny unfortunately as India was reading the question I know that Twitter never popped to real scale at Germany I was going to say that you said it in the question so look I think that it's super important for you understand what I mean by sit there and hope the upside of being an early mover in a new platform that has the potential to pop is so much greater than the downside of going to a new platform and wasting your four or five or 10 weeks or 10 months and it didn't pop and that's why I will always do it that's about as basic as it gets that was probably the best way that I've ever articulated it so thank you Max from Germany for putting me in a position to succeed right now because that's it that's just it it's just that simple especially when you're an entrepreneur and time is what you have not money you entrepreneurs in the vayer nation are pissing me off to such an extreme because you're debating these things and you cry that you don't have enough money to compete with the big guys but then you cry about wasting your time Oh you mean the only goddamn asset you have besides your raw talent to have any potential to win yeah I think it's a good use of your time hey Gary it's Brandon from hu and cry from Washington DC we do a great job

### [8:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ZkWDQKSH4&t=519s) We have a great customer experience in store, how do we take that online?

with customer experience in the store how do we take that same level of experience and put it online so you know I think you guys the team at Hugh and Cry need to really think about what people want in a retail store so you figured that out I think the way you do it is through a survey monkey or a survey or some data of what do people want in uh in an online experience I mean it's about delivering people what they want where they want it so a lot of times people try to impose the old world to the new world meaning okay so on our website we're going to make a video for everything or we're GNA we're going to put a live person like app or we're going to put our tollfree number call that like you know I and everybody in this room wants good UI ux I want it to be fast I want to get in and out and speed matters to me when I online shop more than like it's funny I actually and listen everybody has different behaviors but actually this be fun Steve I'm going to make a statement and I want to hear your version of it well actually you know I hate shopping but if for God I guess jet Shir like I'm trying to think I just don't like shopping but I was about to say in online shopping but I can't even order on like seamless well actually I do order on seamless do you know that I'm not capable of calling a restaurant and ordering food for myself that it is literally one of the three or four things that cripples me the most like that if Lizzy just said hey can you call and order dinner so what did you do before sess yeah I had somebody else do it like my wife prior to that AJ prior to that my parents prior to that girlfriends like I would just never I never did it was it you would choke or like I it just suffocates me the notion of like being on the phone to order something suffocates me yeah anyway seamless worked for me the app that's what it works but where I was about to was in online stuff I need fast in offline St I can like shoo a little bit but then I realized no I don't and it's like I only value speed cuz time is the thing I like the most India do you like shopping yeah okay Depends for what I guess okay are your habits different online than they are in real life like will you spend 40 minutes in a store looking at stuff and will you spend 40 minutes looking at stuff on a website no usually on a website I know exactly what I want so I'm like going to get it you're more surgical yeah but then shopping in person I'm kind of like browsing do you use Pinterest or other things in theory that are getting you there online um yeah Pinterest definely I bought things because I found them on Pinterest that's where it gets interesting right I think there's something in there and that's where my intuition is uh right even though I'm not a shopper I understand Shoppers which is why I led the questions if you paid attention very carefully I think it comes down to um realizing that people want to be Surgical and execution oriented on your site and you as a marketing engine need to be great at creating Discovery across the whole web and then F funneling it to surgical execution on your site that was tremendous advice Andrew asks if you were to tragically die today how well would

### [11:45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6ZkWDQKSH4&t=705s) If you were to tragically die today, how well would VaynerMedia do long term without its CEO? Have you been satisfied with Wine Library's performance since leaving to focus on VM?

Vayner media do in the long term without its CEO have you been satisfied with wine library's performance since leaving to focus on Vayner media Andrew this is a great question I mean I always say everything stems from the top and so I mean I'm trying to think about how I want to answer this question meaning AJ's ridiculously capable um I don't think the company would do as well mainly because he just had his big brother and Mentor die and so even though he's capable I would assume that he'd be pretty torn up he better be and so you know I think that he would struggle with that and I don't think he loves Client Services enough to like persevere and he'd be like what is it all worth anyway who cares you know like so I think vayer you know on the flip side there's an interesting thing believe it or not this is a weird thing though AJ is hands down the most capable person to be the CEO of Vayner media I could almost see him not wanting to do it and I could almost see so many people here internally saying no we have to continue the hustle and so it'd be interesting I think we built a very interesting culture here similarly Brandon runs Wine Library with my dad uh and Bobby and Justin's all family my best friend my brother-in-law my cousin my dad you know my ego made me think that why Library would hurt more than it did uh without me there so to answer your question I am happy with how wine library's performed with me not there that being said do I think it could be way way better of course I mean I think I'm great uh and so do I think the businesses are better off without me than with me absolutely not are they are they in places where they won't go out of business absolutely are they in places where they have no prayer of the hyper growth that I create when I'm the operator that's for damn sure the biggest thing that I create is the ability to grow big businesses fast as [ __ ] like that's going to end up being my legacy if I do it one more time I'm now on business number two that I've taken in a 36-month period with no cash infusion to very big Heights that is a very difficult task in a cash flow basis not F you know the companies that grow big on funding that makes sense like you know the Ubers and Company's way better than what I've executed but still when you hundreds of millions of dollars in funding the speed is what I'm talking about forget about the business well in a non-funded business to be able to build that speed that takes an incredible game of chicken because you're playing Cash Flow versus growth being able to afford you know how proud I am that we've never had layoffs because we've lost a client that is unheard of in agency world and it's triple unheard of for the fastest growing agency of all time in people like we're I'm proud that is what I'm uniquely great at um so they won't grow as fast um but there's enormous Talent around me that is able to do their thing now that being said I'm so much not only the executional leader of my friends and families and business I think I'm the emotional leader with a lot of them too and so I I would think that they would really struggle with my absence and would would crumble into little holes I'm just kidding I think uh I think they would struggle with that cool um what do we ask here oh are we doing intro we oh question of the day yeah oh [ __ ] I forgot about the question of the day uh what are you doing this weekend you keep asking questions I'll keep answering them
