(heavy footsteps)
♫ Maybe, crazy ♫
- Just put on some Chance The Rapper
and Saba and I'll be fine.
I'm all about Chicago.
Boulder, Colorado baby.
Boulder's pretty.
- [DRock] Yeah.
- I can't hear my volume because I got
Chance The Rapper banging.
We could fill up the next hundred episodes
of DailyVee DRock, with my weaknesses.
Here are the current vulnerabilities cause it's summer.
A little more wine than normal,
like, summer is when white wine and rose's
more interesting to me.
Actually one the interesting things about how I roll is,
how little I focus on the weaknesses.
Bread is a weakness right now.
Bread has been a new vulnerability.
Like, I'm weird-ed out by how much I want bread at meals.
Came out of nowhere.
DRock just said to me, "Hey let's focus on weaknesses."
"I just saw you do that call about,
"last couple weeks of your health,
"like some of the things that you're worried about."
Like, I'll never eat a bag of potato chips,
or like, I don't eat 15 Oreos, you know?
Oh, there is one thing.
Tell Lizzy to stop buying those chocolate covered pretzels.
That's killing me, I've eaten a bunch of those
in the last month and they're the best thing I've ever had.
You know, it's funny, I'm so focused on my strengths.
I'm so focused on the opportunities at hand,
I'm so focused on the positivity, the optimism of the game,
that this is actually gonna be the most
challenging episode for me.
To almost like, fester up weaknesses,
or think about things to say to bring some value
to this episode.
Super difficult, like, you know,
that's just hard for me to do.
I'm just not really good at respecting my weaknesses.
I'm not good at dwelling at my weaknesses,
I'm not good at acknowledging my weaknesses.
Why?
Everybody else is doin' that for you.
I think, to win, you need to be your biggest fan.
You need to focus on your strengths.
I'll appease you on this episode, DRock,
and give you some weakness talk.
But, it's not gonna be that good.
And it's not gonna be that easy.
And it's surely not gonna come up so easily for me.
Because there's a real part of me,
that cuts that cancer out.
We've all got 'em.
We've all got our weaknesses, everybody.
I just think the people that win,
respect their strengths more.
♫ Listen up ♫
(light music)
Facebook live, homies.
It's Gary, but you know that.
About to head down to Denver.
And give a keynote at
Denver Startup Week.
- [Voiceover] Warm round of applause
for Gary Vaynerchuk, come on welcome to Gary.
(applause)
- Good morning, or afternoon.
Thank you so much for having me.
Really, what I'm gonna talk to you about,
is attention today, and even then,
I realize, innately, this a six year old,
this is not something you read in a business book at six.
I realize that people's eyes and attention
is what I was interested in.
I didn't need to pour the lemonade stand,
especially if I could get Robby Turnick to do it.
I needed to figure out how to get people to stop.
Think about how sick of a child I was.
As a six year old, it was interesting to me,
to sit at the corner of a street, and watch people drive
and try to figure out which tree or pole was smarter
to put the sign up on
because that's where they were looking.
And that is really, basically,
the thing that I most care about.
Have you found the people in your life
that have already won and are good?
That's what I am, I'm good.
I don't need anything from you guys.
I just don't need anything from you guys.
I don't want anything.
I want you to listen.
And then go have happiness and success,
whether that's work-life balance,
whether that's honing your skiing skills,
whether that's building a million dollar business,
I don't care, I don't need you to be a hustler,
I don't need you to be an entrepreneur,
I don't need you to be a business man.
I don't need you to do anything.
I need you to pay me back
by going out
and then doing something with what I'm giving you.
Paying back the attention I'm taking from you,
paying yourself back.
You know, giving me the feeling that I'm bringing value
to the world, by actually doing something
about what I have to say.
That's what I'm doing with my attention,
what are you doing with your attention?
The one thing that ties us all together,
everybody in this room,
the one thing that ties us all together,
is before you tell me how great your agency is,
or how great your service is, or how great your startup is,
or how great your juice is,
or how great your new sneaker is.
Before you tell me, and the world, how great your thing is,
you need my attention.
- Good job man.
- Thank you brother, it's a lot of fun.
Thank you my man, you did a great job as well.
Yes.
(laughter)
I'm about to go on stage and DRock's like,
"Uh", I had a meeting this morning really early,
so I had to work out right after that, before I came here.
And I just didn't notice that I put it inside-out,
and I was about to go on stage, and DRock's like,
"Your shirt's inside" and I'm like, "Too late now."
(laughter)
I realize what's going on here.
One life, I realize that I'm living,
like this is our only at bat, and most of you aren't.
People fuckin' walking around here
like they're comin' back.
People fuckin' walking around here
like they're comin' back.
You're not comin' back.
I appreciate that I'm a doer, I love doing.
I believe in doing.
There's not a lot of animals running around out there
that have built two 50 million dollar plus businesses.
There's plenty people bigger than me, better than me,
winners than me.
Respect, they deserve it.
But there's not a lot of people running around
with the results.
Definitely not, and this is the punch line.
Definitely not a lot of people running around
with the results that I've had.
That are equally trying to give as much time as possible
to their audience so that they can taste
the fruits of that as well.
Not a lot of people with those results.
That are obsessed, with you having those results too.
I just want you to maximize what you got,
and I want you to try.
The thing that cripples me,
is the people that aren't trying.
Out of fear, out of laziness, out of being unlucky,
with parents that didn't support them.
Being unlucky growing up in a neighborhood
that wanted to tear them down instead of building them up.
So I'm out here, feeling guilty because I had it so good,
with my mama and my daddy, that I want to give that to you.
If I can be that random dude, that's your mentor from afar,
that you've never met, like so many of you have said.
- I just want to say, GaryVee, yo.
I'm sittin on the couch, and I'm bein' lazy,
watchin' Facebook.
And I come across your video,
and it makes me get up and move.
Makes me go and do something with it.
You're my mentor from afar, I appreciate it.
Hell yeah.
- Thank you for helping us.
- That makes me super happy, man, that's awesome brother.
And that gives you the opportunity to have something
good happen in your life.
I'm super fuckin' interested, like, that's legacy baby.
Legacy isn't me making six billion or seven billion,
legacy is thousands, and I mean, hundreds of thousands
of people e-mailing me and telling me that
their lives are better because their dad or mom
got motivated by something I did and went on
and built something bigger and better and meaner and leaner.
And better for them.
I want legacy.
- My dad got me into you back when you were doing
Wine Library TV.
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
- [Gary] You know what drives me? You know what I want to do?
I want to fuckin' steal legacy, I want legacy.
That's why I want it for you.
Like, my selfishness brings you value.
Just the way to work it out, it is what it is.
See ya.
(slow, brooding music)
- So nice to meet you.
- I'm gonna be at your funeral, just want to let you know.
- I appreciate that man, you know what I care about.
Thank you guys, nice meeting you, take care.
