- We're about to go to the meetup.
I called a meetup. DRock, you can show
some of the content that I put out.
It's going to be 20 people.
I'm going to go outside and do it in the street.
(crowd cheering) (triumphant rock music)
- [Gary] Hey! Yeah! (crowd cheering)
Perfect, let's do it.
This is what I do.
I'm sure DRock picks this up a lot.
I just rub my left glut on sharp shit all the time.
It makes me feel better.
I got some shit going on there.
I stretch, I roll. I got the ball.
I got the I don't know what they call it.
It's at every gym, the kind of Tootsie Roll thing.
I roll on that.
I got the ball, lacrosse ball.
I stretch. I yoga. It's getting better.
It was a disaster two years ago.
Just utter disaster. It's getting better.
Tomorrow's the big Vayner World event
which will be great,
which I'm really looking forward to.
(crowd cheering)
And just having some great, great business meetings.
A lot of agency stuff.
Spoke at an amazing all time great agency.
I sit on panels and all these
fancy fucking places now
ARA, IRR, fuckin' Cannes, right?
And I listen to people and I get to know them
because we're in the green room together
for a coffee for an hour before the panel.
And then eventually, you're out at the fucking Facebook party
and you see that person, get a drink.
It's blown me away how many of these people
when you get a couple cocktails in to them
say to me things like
Gary, you're right. (audience laughter)
How many of you saw "The Big Short"?
The movie. Raise your hands. I'm just curious.
I swear to god when I watched that movie
I was like holy shit this is the advertising industry.
Everybody knows it and everybody's in on it.
When I look around the room this is not
80 year old white men. Like all of you know.
- Yeah. - That's it.
There's nothing else that matters to me.
- Yeah. - That's why I bring up
"The Big Short" because everybody knew on Wall Street.
- It was funny about 10 minutes in I was like I just watched
"The Big Short" on Sunday and I was like what if
that's the big short based on it.
- That's exactly right.
That's exactly right. Good to see you, man.
- Thanks again. - Stay well.
Halfway through a beautiful day in London.
Everybody's commenting.
I said that DRock brought the good weather.
Not caught on film, DRock tried to use the wrong
pass at the train station. Not a very good traveler
between the missed flight in Australia
and holding me up at the train station.
'Cause you literally used a different pass, DRock.
You can talk, you're a big boy.
- Your hotel room key. Oh man.
Just much love to everybody.
Hope you're enjoying the series.
We're enjoying it. It's becoming so weird.
This has become way too normal for when I know people.
The level of jokes that are happening
between my friends, my contemporaries,
my acquaintances and definitely my competitors
and people that don't like my stuff as much.
The level of narcissism around somebody following
you around but I will take all that on because
I'm a big fucking boy.
I'll take that all on for the hundreds of emails
from all of you that have emailed and say
this is a process that has allowed you to learn.
No #AskGaryVee, no white paper on Slideshare,
no keynote has taught you more than seeing it.
Seeing it and so that, that one email from all
the 18 year old and the 44 year old.
You guys know who you are.
Those emails, those comments that oxygen trumps all
the stuff that I know is going on around me.
But to the point, it's getting weird
how normal this has become DRock.
Like I've really toned you the fuck out.
It's making it cool. It's making it cool so
good talk today. This morning too.
It's fun to be there.
Alright, let's get back to work, DRock.
(thumping drums)
- London, 10 P.M. start tonight I've decided.
10 P.M. SoHo area, more details to come.
- What's the plan? - [Alex] Literally nobody knows
not even Gary. - [Gary] I don't know either.
Is it bad? - We just went through it.
- It's big? - Yeah. About 200 people.
- Is that true? - Yeah.
-[DRock] No. - No.
Alright London, SoHo Square Garden
on the corner of SoHo and Frith, right?
Oh no, SoHo and Frith? Yeah, SoHo and Frith.
I have a scary feeling a lot of people will
show up to this.
That is so crazy. Did you see this?
We've been getting some snaps
that makes us feel there's going to be a little bit more.
London, I'm humbled. I love you.
To create some clarity about tonight,
yes, the park is going to be closed.
We're just going to meet outside.
Like on the corner. That's how I'm rolling.
DRock, you're going to need to look at what
I just saw.
Fuck.
Jesus Christ.
Alright, this is going to end up a little bit
bigger than we thought.
Fuck me.
Thanks for being here. DRock, help me, DRock.
Hey! (crowd cheers)
Yeah!
Holy fuck.
Alright, let's do it.
I started to see way too much chatter
of people not being able to make it.
Maybe we'll meet like 20 or 30 people in the corner.
Kinda misjudged it a little bit.
(crowd laughter)
- Yo, what's up guys? My name is Daniel Dennehy.
I do freestyle football and I also make music.
I do like hip hop beats and stuff.
DRock has actually used some of my beats
in Gary's videos before.
Just want to say thanks to Gary
for coming out here.
He's been so generous with his time and just
making sure he signs every book,
takes every picture. Thanks a lot and yeah
if you guys want to add me on Snapchat
DanielSnaps91. Had to throw in the right hook or Gary
would kill me so there you go.
Go follow me on Snapchat and yeah, thanks everybody for
coming as well 'cause it's been a really cool vibe.
So yeah.
- Yes, guys DRock's here! Go to DRock!
Go to DRock!
Alex, what the fuck?
DRock, take some of this action.
Holy shit.
Guys, I am so humbled. Fuck.
Thank you, bro.
- I've been following GaryVee since Wine Library really.
I was a social media strategist for six years
so everything he says. I love the character. It's amazing.
- Gary's been a huge inspiration to me
in terms of digital marketing and social media
and Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook
has probably made us, I can't really say the exact
amount but a six-figure sum in terms of the
strategies that we've deployed. It's safe to say.
I'm here to say hi and thank you.
I was here to get my book signed but
this is just crazy busy.
- I'm gonna wait 'cause it's only going to take me a second.
Fuck school if you're an entrepreneur.
- [Crowd] Yeah!
- My name's Ross Tester.
I've traveled three hours here from Nottingham.
I'm an entrepreneur and university as well.
I'm here because last year my friend Carlito introduced
me to Gary Vaynerchuk. Ever since I understood
the hustle and how hard it is to break through
and get involved in business.
Ever since, I've started my own little company,
street promotion company, and also I've raised
£10,000, over £10,000 last year in three weeks
work for a close charity of mine
which is the Teenage Cancer Trust.
- I look at losing as a positive
mainly because everybody here doesn't like losing
'cause they're worried what other people
think about their loss. - [Man] They're programmed.
- I don't give a fuck what other people
think about my "L". It's my "L".
You go worry about yourself.
This is my "L" and the reason people don't like
losses is not so much they don't like losses,
they're worried about what everybody else
thinks about their loss.
That's the fucking gear.
- [Man] Real. I love that. I love that. I love that.
- [Gary] Awesome man.
- I've been following Gary for a good three to four years.
I'm honestly probably his biggest follower.
I'm a student of his philosophies.
I've learned so much from his concept of
emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
You know it, I ride with Gary to the end.
That energy, it works so well with me.
I hope one day, some how that I can
mimic the presence that he has. You know?
- [Crowd and Gary] Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear (grumbling),
- [Gary] I hate giving advice that I don't know.
Like self-awareness. I don't know how to teach
you self-awareness. I don't know how I got gratitude.
It just happened.
I'm in tune with my feelings.
I don't think I figured that out.
There was no 9-step process to get in tune with my feelings.
I'm just in tune with my feelings and because
I'm in tune with my feelings, I know how thankful I am.
I know how lucky I am.
Some of you have heard me say this before,
you know how rare it is to become a human?
(crowd laughter)
- What you mean? - What do I mean?
I mean the math around actually becoming a human being is
fucking insane.
You've won. You did it.
You did it and so I think about shit like that.
I think about shit like what if my family died.
I think about what I actually care about and then
that makes me happy.
Everybody is grateful for different things.
I'm grateful for health, and then I'm grateful
for the talents that I was given.
It's easy for me to be grateful.
Just like it's easy for a lot of you to look at the negative.
I have negative people in my life.
I have negative family members.
They look at something and it's a negative.
I just don't know that gear.
I don't fucking give negativity or my losses the respect.
I don't respect it. Yeah man.
- My girlfriend is pissed but it's worth it.
(Gary laughing) Can we take a selfie?
- Yeah, let's do it. - You're a fucking legend.
- Tell her I'm sorry.
-Victoria. - Victoria, I'm sorry.
This is a one time thing. He's with you every night.
(laughter) Right? That's what I'm saying.
Victoria, stop hogging him.
Thanks for coming man. - Thanks.
- Let's do it. Hi. - Hi!
- How've you been? - Good, how are you?
- How long ago was that? - That was September.
- God, we did a meet up in September. There was like
seven people there. Shit can change quick.
- [Man] What's happening next time?
- Yeah. Who knows.
How you doing? - Good.
- Thanks for waiting.
So ask away Realers. What do you want to know?
See you tomorrow. - Awesome.
- Good to see you. - Thank you so much.
- Take care.
- I really appreciate it. I wish I had a question for you but
I've been sitting here-- - Listening's a lot.
I know you got up high early.
- I know I ran around I was like oh shit everyone's coming.
Go around the outside. Just wanted to say
I'm feeling you. I've seen people here tell you that
they've known you from Wine Library, I haven't.
I've known you from the last six months.
- Yes.
- And I can't get enough of it, man. It's cool.
- Thank you, man. - I really appreciate that.
- Thank you, brother. I appreciate it.
- I look forward to following you further.
- You too, man. Thank you for hanging out for so long today.
Thank you.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Wasn't 30. - Was not 30.
- Was not 30. - It was not.
- I lost that bet.
You weren't right either. He said 50.
- [DRock] I said 30.
- [Alex] Hard to put a number on it.
It's a lot of fucking people.
- Were people walking by like what the fuck?
- Yeah.
- What did you say?
- I was literally saying Justin Bieber.
(Gary laughs) (triumphant rock music)
