- Babin's pumped.
He got some good content for DailyVee.
I was like sledding.
Jesus!
That turned into like an awesome track.
("Monday To Monday" by Saba)
- Saba, I've been telling you.
("Go F*uck Yourself" by Two Feet)
- [Paul] Hey Gary. - [Gary] Yep.
- [Paul] Hey, my name's Paul.
Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- [Paul] I know you're pretty (inaudible) with everybody but
I was just wondering if I could get a picture with you?
- Sure, man. - Okay, cool.
- [Paul] Alright, sweet. Have a good trip.
- [Gary] Thanks, man. Thanks for saying hello.

- [Sid] Gary. - [Gary] Yeah?
- [Sid] Sid. I hit you up.
I know you're doing the whole beanie thing.
- [Gary] Yep.
- I hit you up on the #BizDevSunday thing.
- [Gary] Awesome, man.
About that? I'm having a meeting on Tuesday with the
things that have been vetted through.
- Okay. - [Gary] Alright.
- I'd love to talk-- - [Gary] You know what?
Take this picture and send it to me tonight and then I'll use
that to make sure that you're in the consideration set.
- My man, I appreciate you so much, bro.
- [Gary] My pleasure, man.
- Can I get real quick? - [Gary] Yeah, sure.
Yo! Video.
- One quick thing, what's your positivity hack in life?
- Gratitude.
You know I'm just very grateful.
I know what the world's about and so I'm grateful.
- Yeah, I appreciate you, man.
Thank you. - Sure, sure.
- I've been following you for a year, man.
I appreciate all you do. - Thank you.

I'm gonna try, man.
Really nice to meet you.

- He was just listening to you. - (laughs) I was.
- Awesome, man.
Real pleasure. Nice to meet you.
Take care. Thank you.
Hi, how are you? - Welcome to Denver.
- [Gary] Thank you.
That's 'cause that kind of sequence hasn't happened yet.
Just landed in Denver.
Going to two client meetings and then an internal meeting with
video production and creative.
So that should be productive.
Also just put out a pretty good post about the podcast.
A lot of feedback from people that aren't able to keep up with
videos as a new job or new kid or things of that nature.
So, make sure you get on the podcast train.
Every format, not just iTunes.
SoundCloud, Spotify, iHeartRadio,
Overcast, Stitcher.
We're doing it all so you can listen if you can't watch.
Like yes, maybe I was the lighter fluid on a lot of these
guys who were already putting in real business work.
I mean there's a lot of people picked up "Crush It!"
and the reason I always talk about patience is I don't know
if you were born entrepreneur or had been doing it
for a long time.
If you're coming from I've been a 17 year lawyer but I love
candle making and I'm gonna become the candle guy, right?
You're gonna be starting
from a zero place from entrepreneurship.
It may take two and a half, three years.
You clip this audio part from you recording right now and send
it to my team 'cause I want to use it in the pre-roll of the
video for (censored) so they can hear it
when this got figured out.
Cool, so yeah.
So I'm gonna tell you something that's really scary to me.
I'm not so sold that the only thing I'm doing is actually
giving people permission.
I think through my own confidence
and my complete utter
lack of being worried about what other people think when I'm in
my zone in the business world, right,
that my confidence and bravado is creating a shield for a lot
of people to take the leap and all of a sudden,
it's literally, literally I feel like I'm a swim coach and I'm
just pushing people into a pool, they start swimming and they're
like, "Oh, wait a minute. I can can fucking swim."
Yeah, I think the lesson there is like hey if some of you are
actually doing well on the side if you've got a great t-shirt
business and it was about the business and you liked t-shirts
but now you're 34 and actually you're like you know I really
like gardening like why not like it's "Crush It!"
on "Crush It!" right?
Okay, it's not being a lawyer and then starting a t-shirt
business on the side, it's that you actually did that but you
just realized wait a minute eight years later,
I actually gardening.
Why can't you start the gardening business on the side
while you're doing t-shirt business and eventually becomes
the gardening business?
Good stuff, good stuff.
I'm gonna go shower. - [Jon] There's some good steps.
- [Gary] What I can tell you is if I ran their company next year
they would do $11 million in revenue from one
and they're gonna do three.
And that's something we have to think about.
Going to a lunch meeting with a client.
Little Lulu's BBQ.
Living the dream.
Sliding down driveways, making business happen.
("Eleven:11" by Pell)
How realistic is this?
Like, is this really real?
Can people really do this?
It's fucking very real.
It's like the ambition of the majority,
it's the ambition of probably 20% of the youth of America to
basically live the "Crush It!" life.
That's a astonishing situation.
It's just become very real because of the emergence of
podcast, the explosion of YouTube and
the explosion of Instagram.
The three current platforms are, like those three current
platforms and Facebook too, by the way.
Those I guess it's a tipping point.
I think we're in it now.
You're just so pumped with the visuals you're getting.
- [Other Tyler] Oh yeah. - Right?
Hi. Matt.
- [Steve] You were out in New York a couple months ago
and so we got together and while we were talking,
we started talking about this idea.
- [Gary] I like how you showing it in the email.
It just helps sell. - [Man] I agree.
- Just helps sell. - [Man] Yeah.
- Right? - [Man] Yep.
- [Steve] These guys are good. - No shit.
(group laughter)
No, but you know what I mean.
It just helps sell. - [Man] Yeah.
- That, the feeds. - [Man] Yeah.
- Mhmmm. - [Man] Good, good.
- We reverse engineered that a little bit.
Yes, there clearly was at some point somebody who was the most
famous first person to do it. - [Man] Mhmmm.
- [Gary] But that just really was purely virality,
it's Facebook.
It's way more replicable than people think.
- [Man] Mhmmm.
- The problem is everybody tries to make it like,
let's eat the peanut butter.
What people don't realize is when you have to replicate
something that's replicable you have to walk away from it.
In the way that we all thought "Teen Spirit" you can't do that
because everything looks like the Ice Bucket Challenge which
means it's not good. - [Man] Yeah.
- You have to take the seed of what makes an Ice Bucket
Challenge but you can't make it like a challenge.
- [Man] Right. - [Steve] Mhmmm.
- You have to make it like let's all hold hands across America,
right now, go. And it just starts.
- [Man] Yeah.
- It's got to have the thematics of it--
- [Man] Mhmmm. - but not look like it.
Yeah, see you later.
Take care, talk to you soon.
(crosstalk)
Awesome. Bye-bye, guys.
Just here in Boulder.
Making shit happen. Business development.
Two client meetings.
Productive.
Trout, you're joining us for this meeting.
Let's do it.
We just had a very senior meeting with the head of our
video production and our creative,
Jason and Steve.
And I just love those leadership meetings where we're trying to
do what's right for the logo.
It's kind of like I'm the head coach and they're
offensive and defensive coordinator.
So of course they care about the football team,
they can't help but caring about their squad,
they're players, their part of it.
And I have a lot of empathy for that in my leadership team.
I never ask them to do what I'm supposed to do.
I'm supposed to take care of and care about and
think about the whole team.
They are supposed to take and think about their teams but when
I bring them to the table like I did they need to think about the
entire logo so it's very productive but
we got a lot done.
It's key for leaders out there that when they are having these
meetings is what are you doing before that meeting?
What I kind of do as a leader, as somebody who's been able
to build big businesses, I'm having a lot of small little
meetings and some exchanges with these leaders and moving them
down field before we get there so we don't spend two hours
being very far apart, we get here and then
it's really just about that part. Right?
Just, just take over I don't have any white space.
I just got to take care of one thing, give me one sec.
- I just want to say thank you.
Seriously, no questions just want to say thank you.
- [Gary] Thank you, brother.
- You inspired me and my fiancé we're just doing really well.
- [Gary] What's your name?
- Kenny. - [Gary] Kenny.
- My phone died 'cause it's so cold.
I wish I had a picture but-- - Come here.
No, no. I got you.
- Yeah, just thank you so much. You're inspiring.
- What's your email? - [Kenny] Thank you.
- Yep. - [Kenny] Amazing.
Thank you so much. - You got it.
- [Kenny] Appreciate it.
- The key is if you're gonna have big meetings,
restructure, strategies, trying to get people aligned,
you can't allow those people to start off here and then try to
make that whole meeting get all the way to here.
You'll never get there.
So what I try to do is for days and weeks and sometimes months,
sometimes years I'm working on this and then to close the gaps.
So I'm very happy with the meeting.
It was very productive.
Unfortunately, we don't get to share much with you because
it effects hundreds and hundreds of people in my organization but
it is the, the one hidden thing from DailyVee.
allowing you guys to be a fly on the wall,
these meetings you guys see.
Some things, you can't show everything but
I'll figure it out eventually.
Maybe one day, maybe eventually
we'll just release all the content.
10, 15 years. (laughs)
Anyway, I appreciate you guys being a part of this journey.
It's a grind, it's a slog, it's an everyday thing.
You just think eventually people will understand it.
It's one thing for you guys to have this figured out
at episode 160, 170.
It's another thing for me to have this thing figured out
Even though I'm showing it more than anybody,
