- [Gary] So, like I know what I'm trying to do.
I've said it before, maybe you've heard this.
I'm trying to build the biggest building in town.
And my big strategy on that
is I'm just going to build the biggest building.
And I just genuinely believe that 95% of people that look
like me, their strategy is
to tear down everybody else's building.
- [Man] Yeah, of course, yes.
- [Gary] And that's it. And that's why I think I'll win.
'Cause I think I'm capable of building the biggest building.
(light music)
It's 11:30, internal meetings all day.
I'm sure Iris has B-rolled the shit out of it.
Just meeting after meeting after meeting.
Going to a senior one now.
See ya.
- [Jeff] Hey Gary. - Hey brother.
- [Jeff] Can you sign some books?
- [John] Whenever you wrote Crush It!--
- 2008.
- [John] summarized exactly where we are today.
- You know, it's really cool when you put out content or
you write if you end up being historically correct it's
really, it's very impactful.
You're right. I saw it.
I saw it only because it's history repeating itself.
Like, I knew this was gonna become the platform.
When the ground changes, everything changes.
And so it's not little shifts, they're big shifts.
There's a very interesting dynamic with me which is I push
a lot of people to stop consuming me.
I just want people to reverse engineer themselves
if they can help it.
I'm amazingly self-aware and I'm grateful for it.
It's been one of the drivers of my success.
People struggle with me.
There's something in the way that I communicate that is
really an incredible mirror on the other person.
Here's the punch line, figure yourself out,
love yourself instead of beating up on yourself 'cause we all
have unbelievable amounts of shortcomings so why not focus on
what you're decent at and fucking go do.
I really enjoyed this.
Take care of yourself. Talk to you soon.
Want to hang for a minute? - [Woman] Yeah.
- Very cool.
- [Woman] Well, you pretty much like, you're transparent.
- Yeah. I'm very much in the belief that
why create the vulnerability of not?
- [Woman] Right.
- Right? It's actually not practical.
- [Woman] Well, not for you.
- Definitely, right, that's right.
And you know what, that's a good point.
And not for anybody in the world we live in now.
It's hard to hide.
Yo?
Doing the right thing is always the right thing, Tyler.
- [Tyler] Not confused. 7:30 would be your flight.
- You like that Iris?
You like when I use my own quotes.
- This has been awesome. - [Gary] I'm glad.
- I want to hang out with you more.
- [Gary] You can, anytime. Reach out.
- [Man 2] What going on, Gary? - Hey brother.
Good to see you.
You guys want to build your personal brands or do you guys
want to build the brand of the company?
- [Man 2] Brand of the company.
Well, everything.
- [Gary] Well, no it's a very,
very, very important distinction.
Both work. There's a million reasons to do one or the other.
Personality traits, how you even feel about,
you may feel the business itself is positioned in an awkward way
and you actually don't want to be out in front.
You want to one day write 40 books.
You want to get paid $100,000 to give a speech.
I don't know. Unbelievably, I don't care.
I think that if I'm gonna help you,
and I want to help you, that's the first question.
It's a long play.
It will change the course of your lives.

Hey everybody, this is Gary Vay-ner-chuk and
this is episode 257 of The #AskGaryVee Show.
Jon, real excited you're here.
- Great to be here, Gary.
- And I believe that your show and you are powerful for that
because I do believe when I watch it as a person that will
always win in business, if they listen, they will win.
- Well you know what I've learned is every failing
business has a failing owner, Gary.
- It's always the owner's fault.
- So if they have a failing owner,
after 147 Bar Rescues, you know guys like you and I learn
everything about success. - [Gary] Yeah.
- What do you do to be successful?
- [Gary] Yep. - The blocks of success.
The planks of success.
After 147 Bar Rescues,
Gary, I've seen the depth of failure nobody's seen.
- [Gary] Yeah.
(group applause)
Such a pleasure. - [Jon] A lot of fun.
- That was a lot of fun.
- [Jon] I got to tell you, I'm gonna do it.
You inspired me.
- You know what? I believe you.
And what's really funny to me is you're gonna destroy it.
You're gonna destroy it.
You know, it's the...
You're unlimited.
Listen, it comes natural to you.
You've made a line in the sand and (snaps) you'll,
I did it with my health, right?
I was like, "I can't, I can't," and then I did it and I was
like, "Oh, it's the same shit."
You will crush it. - [Jon] Thank you, buddy.
- My pleasure, my man.
Continued success. - [Jon] Same to you.
(light music)
What's up, guys?
9:08 P.M., Tuesday night.
About to have a dinner with some Vayner Sports peeps.
My episode four of Planet of the Apps just dropped.
Make sure you check it out.
Binge watch the first four episodes.
I dominate episode one and four.
Big day of operations.
Just classic grinder episode of DailyVee.
Nondescript.
The kind of episode that a lot of us don't remember.
Nobody's gonna talk about.
There's no fucking quote or amazing moment from it.
Just fuckin' head down operations,
CEO of a $150 million Vayner X holding company,
PureWow, VaynerMedia.
And that's just the way I like it, right?
At the end of the day, I probably take more pride in
these episodes where there's nothing crazy.
Oh, you got the, I put on a suit.
I've got a family wedding. - [Iris] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So that'll be cool.
Maybe that's the most descript thing.
But I really enjoy this.
I really want to suffocate any excuses.
I want to remind people that this is a real grind,
a real effort.
You know, there's no staging.
There's no nothing.
Just Iris and I fuckin' living it.
I mean like, Iris-- - [Iris] Yeah.
- literally like 90% of today I was like,
"You can't come to this. You can't come to this."
- [Iris] I know. (laughs) - "You can't come to this."
And I'm sorry I can't share everything with you.
It's peoples private lives, it's their finances.
It's client stuff, it's I was
reviewing a piece of business today.
I don't think you guys realize that 89% of the time you don't
see me is running the business or spending time with my family.
So you get insight, you get to see it.
I give you as much as I can but
fuckin' grinding, you know?
Grinding.
