We need to change the conversation, period.
About the aspiration is not to be a millionaire
it's to be,
[Music Playing]
[Cheering]
You've got your perspective.
I just want to be happy.
Don't you just want to be happy?
[Music playing]
- [AJ] I was just in Miami and Orlando.
I leave to Peru to do shows because I also host parties.
- [Gary] God I love Peru.
[AJ Laughs]
- [AJ] After that I go to Puerto Rico
then I going to Venezuela, then I'm going to Mexico
so it's like, but this is my branding myself.
Because no one becomes a millionaire nine to five, Gary.
And you say it all the time.
I'm hustling getting up at four o'clock
in the morning you know.
- [Gary] Honestly, I'm gonna take
this advantage, we need to change the conversation, period.
About the aspiration is not to be a millionaire,
it's to be happy
- [AJ] Amen.
- [Gary] For real. Like you know how happy you are?
You imagine 16 year old you being like
I'm gonna go to Peru and I'm gonna fucking visit
like get the fuck.
- [AJ] And I think the universe,
because for at one point in my life too
I had the money or everything was there
that I always wanted.
But then I took at step back.
- [Gary] You weren't happy.
- [AJ] I was not happy.
I left the number one radio station in the world,
and I left it because I wasn't happy.
- My 2019 agenda is to make happy, like for you to say,
and you're doing it subconsciously.
Not everyone is happy at 27.
If I can replace the word millionaire with happy,
and I'm crazy I think I can pull it off.
- [AJ] What do you do Gary when,
lets say you're at a location,
you're at a point in your life that,
obviously you need to pay bills but you're no longer happy.
What do you do?
- [Gary] You need to change your bills.
- [AJ] Okay, okay.
- [Gary] You need to not buy a fresh fucking hoodie.
You may need to move in to a shittier apartment.
- [AJ] Okay.
- [Gary] I'm being dead serious.
One of the other conversations I'm having
is change your bills.
If you're not happy, but you got bills.
Why don't you look at your bills?
Happiness.
- [AJ] Happiness is key.
- [Gary] No dude, it's everything.
[Music Playing]
There's not a lot of people crying for pretty girls.
But you're sitting here, and when you wake up in the morning
you're like fuck.
Instagram's the most important platform.
Right, and 91 percent of my audience are dudes
that want to see my body.
I want to be known for music.
Every time I post music it gets no fucking engagement.
Every time I post skin it gets engagement,
and nobodies crying for pretty girl problems.
But the reality is its your problem.
- [Krystal] It's been frustrating for sure
because like a lot of people are telling me well mix both,
the sexy and the music.
But I would like for people to listen.
- [Gary] Make a video straight to face and be like yo dudes.
I know why you're here, I get it.
If you have gotten value out of me,
just put me on one time, right now.
Tag your sister, your mom, your girlfriend, your wife,
because I'm about to put out a lot of music,
and like I just want some of that love.
People want real.
Hey, fuck this transition from model to musician
has been tough.
You mother fuckers don't want to like my shit
because I don't give you tits and ass.
I'm fucking struggling creatively and got nothing
to fucking give for you music wise.
Like who else is struggling today.
That's when you will pop.
If you're not full of shit,
which I really believe you're not.
Then put out the fucking music for a year,
and then fucking get frustrated at the end of the year
that it didn't happen, and then put out bikini shots.
But that will, you got time.
You're not 80 yet.
- [Krystal] Mhm
- [Gary] You can model next year, do you know what I mean?
- [Krystal] Yeah I do.
- [Gary] So do it.
- [Krystal] Go on hard.
- [Gary] Otherwise you're half fucking pregnant.
Half pregnant means you don't know.
You're like oh if I went all in.
That's what you're doing when you're laying in bed.
If I went all into music, what would happen?
- [Krystal] Glean, have you heard of that?
Because another kind of route I was going to take
during my rollout to get people engaged.
And you know, keep people listening
and pretty much kind of like a sweepstakes
type of tracker thing.
- [Gary] Listen. Listen to me face.
- [Krystal] Listen to my face?
- [Gary] Please, really listen to me.
You're looking for shortcuts.
Your body's a shortcut.
Gleam's a shortcut.
Sweepstakes are a shortcut.
Contests are a shortcut.
Put out fucking music.
- [Krystal] Okay.
[Krystal Laughs]
- [Gary] Here's why.
You're young enough to do it all in for a period of time
and then decide.
- [Krystal] Right.
- [Gary] You know what I'm saying?
You're blessed with options.
- [Krystal] Yes.
- [Gary] Right.
- [Krystal] Mhhm.
- [Gary] You agreed right? You felt that one.
- Yes I did.
- [Gary] You're blessed with options.
Whoa is me, you have to settle in two years
to back to modeling.
- [Krystal] I'm never going back.
- [Gary] Well fine, so if you're never going back.
So if you're not going back then don't be half assed.
- [Krystal] Okay.
All music.
- [Gary] All music.
- [Krystal] Everyday.
- [Gary] Everyday.
Hey everybody this is the ask Gary Vee show and we,
- [Mark] No, no, no. This is my show.
So today we're going to be pairing wine with three foods.
And by that I mean we're going to be pairing cat wine,
wine made made specifically for cats with three different
food flavor candy canes.
- [Gary] Let's go.
- [Mark] Cheers.
- [Gary] Cheers to good health.
That is atrocious.
- [Mark] Well by paring it with mac and cheese candy canes,
that really tastes like mac and cheese doesn't it?
- [Gary] Delicious.
Are those oyster flavored?
- [Mark] We'll get to that Gary.
What is the largest mammal you think you can knock out
with a single punch?
- [Gary] A pony?
- [Mark] A pony?
[Laughing]
We have some rotisserie chicken candy cane.
- [Gary] Wow this smells atrocious.
Tastes exactly like it.
- [Mark] Alright how does this pair with your wine?
- [Gary] Terrible.
- [Mark] It's kind of like a Thanksgiving at my house.
- [Gary] This is delicious.
- [Mark] Oh no.
- [Gary] This is delicious.
- [Mark] Don't like this one. Oh man.
- [Gary] This is tough. I love it.
- [Mark] If you could buy the Jetts right now.
- [Gary] Yes.
- [Mark] With the one stipulation that
you had to wear Jordan every single day
for the rest of your life, would you do it?
- [Gary] Not yet.
- [Mark] Really?
- [Gary] Really. I'd wait.
- [Mark] Any final,
- [Gary] Yeah.
- [Mark] words that you wanna,
- [Gary] Almost everybody who's going to watch this
is unfortunately living their lives
based on somebody else's opinions.
And that leads to extraordinary unhappiness.
And we need to start making a millionaire not the ambition,
but being a happy person the ambition.
And I really believe that's about to happen.
And I want to be one of the people that drives that
conversation amongst the hundred thousands of other people
that need to do it for it to actually become real.
But boy do in want to eliminate judgment.
Everyone here is judging people.
We judge so much.
And now with the way modern technology works
its so easy to judge at scale with so little context.
So a little less judgment and a little more empathy.
Hey guys thank you so much for watching my video on youtube.
