("What I Am" by Luke O'Brien)
Wednesday morning
busy, busy day.
I'm supposed to be in L.A., got canceled,
so loaded up the Cali instead of going to Cali.
You know last time we hung, we were like,
"Hey, let's really try to do this at least once a quarter."
- [Man] Yeah.
- [Gary] I really, really want to use this.
I had him book it in already for the rest of the year.
It's just important.
- [Man] Yeah. I agree, man.
- [Gary] Just important. - [Man] I agree.
I have to get shots.
I'm going to Ghana.
I don't want shots.

- Very simply, I just think you're a great dude,
and I just want you to, macro is a piece of cake--
- Yes.
- 60 days from now is a foregone conclusion.
- Right.
- What I like about the way I think about the world, is
if I can bring value in those 60,
like I'm not like "Oh, this will be fine in 60 days"
- Right, right.
- I'm kinda like, if I can make it from a 6.3 to a 7.1
in those 60 days, well then let me hear it.
- [Man 2] I think, yeah,
it's just some people don't have that
that outside, let's say...
- Oh, I get it man
- [Man 2] That experience to understand
how real what you're saying is. You know?
- [Gary] It's very simple.
- If you play the chess game out,
If I'm sitting her with (censored) like, here's your
data and she's like, "Well, I didn't trust it."
I'm like, "Then you shouldn't work here."
- [Man 3] Yeah.
- If you don't trust the machine that goes to me,
well then, what're we doing here?
People do things now, just to PR themselves.
- [Lee] Yeah.
- People literally go hiking,
38 people here will go hiking
(Gary laughs)
38 people will go hiking in my office this weekend.
They'll drive an hour and a half out to upstate New York
just for the Instagram shot.
Have you been to the meditation studio on twenty?
Can you send him the info right now?
I want you to go and check it out.
I'd love to get your opinion.
- Want me to give you a meditation?
- Yeah. Let's do it.
- So, here's how easy it is. It uses the acronym SHERPA.
- SHERPA. Go ahead.
- It's gonna go through S-H-E-R-P-A
- Let's do it. You ready, Nate?
- I'm ready.
- So feet on the floor, close our eyes.
(gong reverberating) - So
"S" is "Shhhh"
It's a hard thing to get to, that quietness.
Sometimes I just see the black of my eyes.
Eyelids.
"H" is "Here"
You don't have to say it. Just think it.
So it's "H-E-R-E". Just try and be here.
And in New York, it's "H-E-A-R"
Let the noises not bother you, but let them bring you here.
Just be here right now. Take a few breaths with that.
"E" is "Experience". Experience your body.
If you need to sit up, and get your posture right.
"R" is "Realize"
Realize how good things are right now.
We're not in a dangerous situation.
Just realize where we are.
"P" is "Purpose".
It could be your purpose for today,
it could be a bigger purpose. Just take a few breaths,
and remind yourself of your purpose.
"A" is "Action"
Just think of one step that you're gonna take next,
to satisfy your purpose and move forward.
See it.
Then let's take action and open our eyes.
(gong reverberating)
- That's awesome.
- It was good.
- It is good. I'm really, I'm a big believer
I think that mental health, mental fitness,
meditation, it's gonna be the whole thing.
- Yeah.
- And it's gonna be good.
- It doesn't have to be like this Kumbaya stuff, like ...
- No, no, no. I mean...
- I do this before a meeting that I'm about to...
You know? Just to...
- Oh I have... I would tell you,
50% of my friends are hard core deep.
- Yeah.
- One thing I live about my life as a businessman,
is I don't wanna be at the mercy of anybody.
I love that everybody can leave, and I feel okay.
At a micro, I don't want there to be
four people that can do TV, or seven people that can,
I don't like that feeling, and I like stretching it out.
Hey eerybody, this is Gary Vay-ner-chuk
and this is episode 249
of The #AskGaryVee Show!
Here's the one thing I can promise you.
You need to work you're fucking face off,
and, nobody gives a shit about where you grew up.
Nobody's gonna feel sorry for you circumstantially,
or feel positive for you,
whether you're born in the ghetto
or you're born to a trust fund,
at the end of the day, once you hit the real world
nobody cares, 'cause then the clock's on.
If you're a trust fund baby, people are judging you
like, "You suck. It's all 'cause of your daddy."
If you're fuckin' from the ghetto, it's like
"You have no shot. You don't look the part."
Either way, nobody cares.
The end, the only thing that you should be figuring out
is what are you good at?
And so you should try a lotta shit, right?
And, then you need to work every minute.
Like, if you're not gonna go to college,
you're gonna have to work, right?
Like, if you're not gonna use the brand of the degree
and before MissionU mean something to the whole world,
you're gonna have to work, and prove it.
- I like it.
- I love you brother. - I love you too, man.
- Adam Braun.
You keep asking questions, we'll keep answering them.
It's funny. I never had anything happen.
I tore my meniscus five years ago, seven, no
eight years ago, playing basketball.
Didn't even really know.
I tore the other meniscus?
Like, when you do something, I'm like ...
As I was falling, I'm like,
"Tore my meniscus!", like literally!
("Whatever You Like" by Tryce)
What I like, is that people think that this is the empire?
And I think this is like...
You know when your table is wobbling? At a restaurant?
And they come over and slide a piece of wood
to make it stable?
- [Woman] Yep.
- That's literally how I think of this company.
That I think it's just a piece of wood.
- [Woman] Yeah.
- And that excites me.
That I know we've built something meaningful,
that it's doing great
- [Woman] And totally independently--
- Yes. But that it's
a proxy to my bigger thoughts.
I'm funny, right? Like, my best day the other day was,
I was playing my kids in basketball in the living room
two-on-one to five.
I let them go up four nothing, and then I beat them.
- Yeah.
- And when I hit the game-winner,
they collapsed into crying like deep crocodile tears.
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- I was pumped.
- (laughs) I love that.
- I think that matters.
And by the way, my son has more toys right now,
my son gets more toys in a month, than I had in my life.
- Right.
- Do you wanna hear how weird it is?
Now you're gonna get a, your first real insight in to me.
Your first real, real one.
I am fearful, that I'm doing it on purpose,
to not let them be hungrier than me.
- Thank you.
- That was fun.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- It's the context of the religion of the distribution.
The reason I make content,
that always tends to have a better chance,
is my creative can literally be a four to your nine,
every time, but when my distribution is a ten
to the market zero, I don't wanna use your,
I'm just in the game.
I'm literally predicting... I looked at DRock yesterday,
and said I just made a viral video.
And it went viral yesterday. Like, I know.
Check this out.
A friend of mine form the liquor business
texts me, "Congrats on China."
I write "?. Not sure what that means.
"Love you. How you feelin'?"
He goes,
"Trying to walk" ... he's not feeling well ...
"A friend of mine said" ... " A friend of mine in China,
"said you were getting your name out there."
("Power" by Duo)
Guys, thanks for all your help. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.
Cheers. Cheers. Nazdrave.

I'm out.
- [Man 3] Please don't tell me it's the first time
you've ever had one?
- [DRock] No.
- See ya.
