- You know, it's funny all the stuff I put out,
I'm motivated by that as well, right?
("Unstoppable" by This Is Wolff)
- [Sebastian] Quick question,
I wanted to know how you learn the logistics of actually
operating a business.
You do a lot of talk about what it takes to be an entrepreneur
but the actual, I'm curious as to how you learn the actual
logistics of that.
I'd appreciate the answer, thanks.
- Sebastian, great question, my man.
I'm excited about this little concept.
This is gonna fill out these episodes that are a little bit
tougher for you, DRock.
I like that you're hacking trying to make your life a
little bit easier.
I respect your execution.
Sebastian, by doing.
The way you learn operations and the systems,
the logistics is by doing.
I mean you could read about it.
You know my dad was very entrepreneurial so he's even
more loosey-goosey than I am in a lot of ways so that wasn't in
place but obviously a mentor can teach you.
But I think when mentors are teaching you they're teaching
you the way it was instead of the way it's about to be in this
new environment.
It's by doing the actual work.
Like DRock's process,
how long it take you to edit the first DailyVee?
- [DRock] Two and a half days.
- [Gary] Two and a half days. - [DRock] Yeah.
- And now? - [DRock] Three hours.
- I mean, it's doing.
That's how you get great at your craft.
You do.
It's just,
there's no replacing experience
and that's where a lot of youngsters,
you have a lot of talent.
You understand the new landscape,
but you don't have the experience yet and
so you've got to eat shit.
Get real patient and put in those two,
three, four years of tasting it.
This worked, this didn't.
This worked.
This didn't.
- [DRock] Would you also say that you surrounded yourself
with people that actually did know something?
- Yes and no.
The problem when you surround yourself with people that know
is that the come with that baggage but yes,
I do like them coming with that baggage 'cause then
I can watch it.
One of the reasons I don't micromanage my people is 'cause
I let them do their thing.
And then I watch it and I'm like that's silly.
And then I break it and so we get 87% of the value of the
tried and true and 13% of kind of the way I see and I'm always
going to, you know, and you know this.
This is a lot of stuff we talk about.
We don't put a lot of this out there,
like, I don't talk really about my strategy or my brain.
I don't think, I don't talk about how smart I am
or how strategic I am.
That's where it really shines because I'm forward thinking.
That's just my natural state.
Real quick, let me interrupt you before you watch
your homies other story.
This video right here is gonna blow your mind.

What are you sleeping?
What are you coding until 4 o'clock in the morning still?
Holding on to your youth, I'm impressed.
I have a crazy idea.
You and I at our best, as a team when we're just being ourselves
and just hacking, there's just a special thing that I've never
been able to replicate, right?
GaryVee, DRock's here too.
He's always fucking here.
Anyway, proud of you, brother.
Congrats on this next chapter of your life.
Go crush it, go kill it, one life, baby.
Proud of you.
Just reach out to 15 people you've been dying to do business
with and just DM 'em and say what can I do for you?
Period, that's it.
99.9% chance they won't answer you if you want to reach them.
But .01%, it's worth it.
That .01 life, DRock.

Hello, how are you?
Very good. Congrats, on winning.
You're welcome.
Yeah, I know.
So we've got some time together, how can I help you?
I get it.
It chopped for me for a second, what upsets you?
One more time. You think about what?
Look, I think it's about perspective, right?
I think the reason that I'm able to focus is that
I keep things very binary.
Right, you know outside of the most extreme things,
health of my family, I try to make,
I try to remind myself whether it's friendships or back when
I was dating, relationships,
I put them in the proper perspectives.
So I think the bigger thing for you is to is to categorize both,
both the things that are going on and
put them in the proper bucket.
Both the studying for what you're trying to become and
questioning yourself if that's really what you want and is your
lack of focus at times just a subtle indicator that you're
doing this 'cause you think it's the right thing to do or you
were told to do this or you've always thought you were gonna do
this but now that you're here you don't actually want to do it
or do you just value, you know, these relationships or other
things that are running through your mind even more than your
career or your, you know, the things that you're focused on.
So I think it's being honest with yourself that your brain
and your emotions are going in a different direction than what
you think on paper is the thing that you're supposed to do and
I actually think that you need
to accept that instead of fighting that.
I think you need to question why that's happening more so than
well I need to stay focused.
I've got a lot of studying to do to become this.
You gotta really break down those two things and I think,
and you what's funny?
Is I think you know that.
I think you don't need me to tell you that.
It's just you know sometimes it helps hearing it
from another voice, right?
Like I think the thing that has always worked for me is that
it's been crystal clear for me what I'm trying to do and
I've had everything in the right places mentally and then it's
able, it's enabled me to go very fast which really matters.
So do you agree with what I'm saying?
Hold on one second.
I hope, there was a quote on my page,
"One life" that motivated you you said.
And it makes, yeah.
I mean it makes you start questioning,
you know, it's very funny.
I'm so empathetic to people who,
well, let me ask you a question.
The thing that you're doing right now,
how much was that manifested from you at a young age or other
people around you?
Yeah, I mean, I think, I'm glad to hear that it came from you
from a young age.
I would tell you that things change and you need to make sure
you're focused on that. You know?
You know sometimes you have a picture of how something's gonna
be and then when you get there it doesn't live up to that and
so yeah, I mean I am motivated by one life, too.
It's funny, all the stuff I put out,
I'm motivated by that as well, right?
Like I challenge myself to remind myself it's one life,
it's one at-bat, and it rocks me in my foundation when I think
about it as well.
The other thing I would tell and I think if you follow my stuff
you know this, you're such a young woman and I really,
really, really hope that you deploy patience as well.
Right?
Like, you know, you can
not have it perfectly click for 10 years
and still be young and I think a lot of people forget that.
You know for me early in my career with my great ambitions
building a liquor store, a wine store,
you know, didn't seem on paper like this is what's going to
help me get to all these places that I want to be but it was
building a foundation in my 20s and early 30s that allowed me to
build on top of and I still at 41 view myself extremely young.
So keep that in mind as well.
I think that helps.
You're welcome.
I hope you have a great day and feel free to reach out to me on
email if I can help more.
You're welcome.
Good to see you too.
Bye-bye.
That was fun.
