there's been some controversy around Gary Vaynerchuk aka
Gary Vee about the message that is sending out there which some would deem
as hustle porn and in this video we're gonna dispel these myths and talk about
how we can all improve our lives what is up everybody this is Chris from the
rewired soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if
you're new to my channel something that I'd like to do is pull them in topics
from pop culture and try to see what lessons we can pull from them so if
you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification
bell so Gary Vaynerchuk is a man that I've been following for the last couple
years since I really dope into YouTube and social media and everything like
that and I've made videos about him in the past where like he's kind of like
this like motivation like fill up right like when I start getting into like
self-pity or laziness or whatever it is I turn on some Gary Vee and like the
message that goes into my head is I get off your ass and go do something right
so something that Gary Vee talks a lot about is hustle okay something else that
he talks about which we're gonna be touching on this video is self-awareness
okay but he talks about hustle go out there work hard work hard do this work
hard work hard work hard and a lot of people have been deeming this as hustle
porn and how its unhealthy especially when there's a conversation in the
YouTube community that's been going on for the last you know year year and a
half when L Mills talked about being burnt out and a lot of people are saying
like oh no Gary Vee is promoting this unhealthy lifestyle and that could not
be further from the truth okay so there was actually an article that came out
that got a lot of views on it it was a medium post it was talking about Gary
Vee and hustle porn and that author actually talked to Gary Vee and he ended
up making a follow-up article about Gary Vee and the message that he's putting
out there and here's the thing and this happens with so many people out there is
that a lot of people don't get the full context of a person right like for
example he'll I'll use myself as an example
I have over 900 videos over 900 videos you would have to be a very loyal
subscriber to see all the videos I've made see my views on things my opinions
on things you know and and get a very well rounded view of me but if you take
certain clips or whatever like I might look a certain type of way
same thing with Gary Vee he does something called dailyvee where he post
videos every single day right he does a lot of other content on all social media
platforms and if you don't get the full view of Gary Vee yeah it does sound like
he's promoting this unhealthy lifestyle that can lead to burnout like if you
take certain clips of Gary Vee he talks about how he wakes up early he stays up
late he's constantly working work work work if you look at him building up you
know his company he talked about in the early days he would stay up all night
long on you know like Twitter replying to everybody and all sorts of stuff
right so if you just take those if you take those clips and look at that you
think huh this guy is trying to burn out the next generation and telling people
to work until you lose your mind and you can't function anymore and that's not
the truth so Gary Vee is somebody who's big on self-awareness and some one of my
favorite quotes from Gary Vee is that he talks about he's trying to suffocate
your excuses so the first thing that we need to realize about Gary Vee the
biggest message that is sending out there is you do you baby you do you so
what he's talking about it's like if you're okay if you're okay working a
nine-to-five job and that's that's happiness for you if you're okay making
a certain amount of money each year and that's making you happy if that's giving
you the work-life balance that you want where you get to spend this much time
with your family or your friends or whoever it is he's like do it okay but
he's sending a message to people who want more and feel entitled to it
without doing any of the work and that is an issue that we see in society as a
whole I see so many people I used to be one of those people where I just
expected everything to be handed to me right I would sit back like Gary Vee is
talking to people like who I used to be right I used to sit back and just think
about all the things that I wanted but I expected them to be handed to me or I
thought about how much easier everybody else had it
that I do and and something that I realized that this world and it's people
don't owe me a damn thing if I want something I gotta work for it yeah my
path might be harder than other peoples but that's okay that's my path and
that's my journey but so many of us sit around looking at other people's paths
and other people's journey and thinking that it should be the same for us so if
you're somebody who's okay with your work-life balance
guess what garyvee isn't talking to you he is not talking to you okay he is
specifically talking when he's talking about hustle he's talking to the people
who want more and are making excuses so like I think this is a major issue too
like a lot of people don't realize it because it's happening on a subconscious
level and let's be real a lot of people do not want to get honest with
themselves a lot of people hate getting honest with themselves like people want
to look at you know youtubers or other people like maybe like corporate CEOs or
whatever look at all the vacations that they get and all this other stuff and
they want to make an excuse for themselves like oh I don't got to work
that hard and I can get these things right and like a lot of people don't
want to admit it and I don't I think that's why a lot of people get upset I
garyvee because Gary Vee is conflicting with their own head and their own
excuses like something that I get all the time all the time is people saying
how much I work how much content I put out all these other things and I just
cannot get it through to people some of you realize it but I can't get it
through to everybody like you guys if you if you had a camera on me for the
day I work less than most of you out there and you don't even realize it
yes I know that I can screws up my content and do more editing and things
like that but I on a video like recording this video to editing and
uploading it's gonna take me maybe an hour maybe an hour YouTube thumbnail
doing all the SEO title description tags history maybe an hour sometimes two
hours about put in some more editing some more like clips or pictures and
things like that maybe two hours okay so if I release three videos in a day that
is six hours of work six hours out of a 24 hour day all right and I feel like
what people see me hustling and doing my thing when they're saying oh you put out
too much content you do this you do that yeah that some of you I get that it can
be annoying right then I put out so much content but like when you're looking at
that like I'm not going to justify your excuses for maybe why you're not working
that hard you know what I mean but like I mentioned this in a video I did a long
time ago about the youtuber burnout myth like I don't want to take this
opportunity that I have especially is something that I love and that I'm
passionate about is getting a message out there to the world like I would feel
like it's a slap in the face to people if I didn't work as much as all of you
but the thing is a lot of people just are terrible with time management I'm
still terrible with time management I've just started utilizing a calendar but
something Gary Vee talks a lot about when it comes to self-awareness is to
recognize how much time you are actually wasting right how much time are you
wasting on Twitter on Instagram on Facebook all these things where you
could be doing something that is helping you pursue your passion pursue your
goals pursue your dreams but you're wasting it on Twitter right like I see
this constantly I I have seen people like I know that you know I talked a lot
of people but like I remember a lot of people I see people who have told me
about how they want something more for themselves right they want something
more but like every time I go on Twitter they have about 50 new tweets I'm like
what are you doing like what are you doing right and like again I think
that's why people don't like a message that Gary Vee is putting out there but
like to say to say that he's promoting an unhealthy lifestyle is absolutely
ridiculous like all of us function differently and especially when it comes
to our sleep schedules and things like that Kevin Hart was just on the Joe
Rogan podcast Kevin Hart is another person
whose very inspirational if you want to just do something and he talks about how
he functions off of like five to seven hours of sleep right if you need more
than that that's you but Gary Vee is talking about the other people who don't
who who need less sleep right and they can do more they can accomplish more or
they're willing to sacrifice something in the short term to build something for
the long term right like something Gary Vee talks about is the clouds in the
dirt you know what I'm saying and like we have to put in that work to do
something like you guys I was working in a treatment center for a little over
three years I quote a Gary Vee to them all the time like do you know how many
excuses like our brains create for just even our own mental health or addiction
recovery I was in a treatment center where people who are literally dying
they are dying from the disease of addiction and they're making up excuses
about why they can't go to therapy they're making up excuses about why they
can't go to 12-step mate meetings they're making up excuses about why they
can't do this right and like basically in an addiction something that we teach
people is if you put in even half the effort that you did into your addiction
like into your recovery you're gonna be fine
because for a lot of people addiction is 24/7 right so if you even put just like
a little bit of that effort so like I think a lot of what Gary fees saying is
like change like change your effort and your energy like think about it for one
second just one second like if you're at a job that you absolutely hate right now
if you took some of the energy that you use binge watching Netflix when you're
getting home when you get home scrolling through social media if you took some of
that effort some of that energy and focus it on your own passion or
something that you want to do or business that you want to build think
about that if you just transferred that time in that energy somewhere else
think about where you'll be in a year or two years alright so anyways this is
something I've been meaning to talk about a long for a long time because
even though the original author of the the article about Gary Vee like made a
new article a lot of people still think Gary B's promoting some healthy
unhealthy lifestyle but if you're somebody who wants to live in the
problem and live in the excuses you do you but if you want to
build something and you realize how much time and energy you're wasting on dumb
stuff like go check out garyvee tune in to them daily and build up some
motivation to do what you love to do and get your passion out there and so living
the life that you deserve all right anyways that's all I got for this video
