- Do you understand that if
I told you, if I took this moment
for all hundred-plus of us and went back 15 years from ago
and said, "Let me show you what
"you're gonna be doing exactly 15 years from today,"
we would all be like, "Holy shit."

Morning Vayner Nation.
We haven't been doing DailyVee.
We started DailyVee right after football season so I guess this
is a good time for a public service announcement which is
please take all my Monday interactions after Jets losses
with some level of context.
You know, it's funny, I talk so high level, don't let the little
things but it's amazing what the passion of escapism means.
For me the Jets is like the one place in the world that I don't
have perspective that I'm allowed to escape.
And it takes me away from all my reality and it's actually
stunningly relaxing even though I seem quite wound up and pissed
and all you know, but boy, yesterday was tough.
Congrats on the Bengal fans.
Happy for you guys.
That's a franchise that hasn't
won a Super Bowl either ever and has
and we haven't won one since 1969 and Jets beat the Bengals
in a huge playoff game several years ago.
Not that long ago, actually 2009 I went there and fans would
gracious and so I have a lot of respect plus my friend Nate,
my friend Ian, good Bengal fans so.
I'm never happy for anybody
but at least I could be somewhat respectful.
Never happy for anybody in football.
You know what's so weird?
I'm almost like the bizarro version myself in football.
I'm like literally the polar opposite.
Anyway I'm fucking crushed.
(light music)
Thank you.
Salty as fuck this morning.
Huge Jets loss.
Take a coffee when you get a chance.
Such a pleasure.
- My pleasure, thank you.
- Marriott and Hilton shoulda created Airbnb.
- Oh for sure.
- You know?
All those taxi medallion people they should've created Uber.
- Right.
- The person that's getting disrupted, Borders and
Barnes & Noble's was in a much
better place than Amazon to become Amazon.
- Sure.
- You know but they don't want to.
On this episode I'm in a salty mood 'cause the Jets lost.
You know what happens with Salty Vee?
Is that I eliminate any thought of entertainment and
I just give answers.
Here's how that gets against this, here is the outside
liability of that and how is VaynerMedia getting reimbursed
for that number or if not
what I am I doing with Steve duh-duh-duh.
- The P-and-L--
- [Gary] Oh, it's a monster difference.
- [Man] Crew here.
- [Gary] Good to see you brother.
How was your summer?
My man.
Quite a jacket. - Thank you.
- Got it.
Create the ideas then in a box then go find somebody.
I think another thing to add and I wonder if you brought this up,
again, back to a similar vibe, the other thing I think about
that I'm gonna bring to the table is not only 'cause you can
but because the upside so
amazingly outweighs the downside.
If you really think about what they spend their money on,
putting five or 10 or $15 million against this initiative
these brands is nothing yet could be so impactful if you
figured it out.
By the way, I do think this is a zero to hundred game.
Like this is superhard like to me it's like either you figured
it out and you got all the credit and it all worked or
it's just something half pregnant and did nothing.
And the punchline is for them is, for all of them, is who's
gonna be the first to win.
'Cause all the value comes from that.
- [Woman] Thanks so much, Gary.
- You're welcome.
Such a pleasure.
But, you know, if there's a 12,
9-year-old me as a kid I would've
love right now to be influencing that person, right?
There's a lot of young entrepreneurs and if you're in a
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14-year-old entrepreneur my
content I want to be at the forefront and I want to be in
your purview and I want you know who I am.
If you are not waking up every morning and checking the top 150
free apps on the Apple charts, you're making a huge mistake.
That's where Marco Polo caught my attention.
That's where Musical.ly caught my attention.
Snapchat caught my attention.
It's a very simple way for a lot
of you to keep up with where the opportunities are.
So instead of having you drink of water to this question
I'm gonna show you where the water is.
Because then you become media not just somebody within it.
Just like I did with Wine Library TV.
I became the media not just a retailer selling off the media
I think that's a really good idea.
America doesn't care about the mistake.
America cares about the cover-up.
We're not mad at Samsung for the battery that goes on fire
because all of us who are even-keeled recognize that
sometimes that happens when you're innovating.
What we'd hate is a little, you know, person's house burns down
and Samsung goes that's not us.
We hate the cover-up.
I mean like, really, we are a forgiving, forgiving nation.
What we don't want is any company thinking they're gonna
pull one over on us.
It's unbelievable.
We are visceral to the bullshit.
So I don't think there's any one-size-fits-all.
I would just say the most
authentic in the fastest way possible.
I think what excites me most, Jen, is that this last 10 years
for me has been really about social media, the evolution of
communication on the internet.
What VR and everything that
Elon Musk's always up to and
what Apple's up to,
and Alexa with Amazon AI and Pokémon GO,
and filters on Snapchat is wait a minute, this is a
next-generation technology that's coming and
I don't know everything.
You know the last one was really good for me because it was about
human communication.
I believe that to be true for the next generation but I think
what most excites me is if you're paying attention what's
happened over the last year, self driving cars,
we're starting to see the real life version of things that
have been talked about for the last three or four years and
I think we can all agree that 10 years from today the
world's gonna be very, very, very different.
Can we just take a step back?
Does anybody understand what's happening right now?
To do what we're doing right now which is have three people doing
video interaction with each other clean.
This is very clean.
To have how many of our people watching right now
wherever they are, do you understand that if I told you,
if I took this moment for all hundred-plus of us and went back
15 years from ago and said,
"Let me show you what you're gonna be
"doing exactly 15 years from today,"
we would all be like, "Holy shit."
Forget about where we're going.
How about just being captivated by the fact that we're living in
this right this second?
(light music)
As you go down this path this is what happened
to me at some level you just realize you just kinda keep
saying it and you let the chips fall where they fall.
This is why winners win and losers lose.
If you're gonna look for the no then you'll find the no and
you'll be in the no camp.
Losses and wasted time are actually wins in the gathering
of context in a world where the
value of knowing has never been greater.
So let me say one more time because I know, that was an
interesting kind of like answer I don't think people realize
that doing the work to learn all these things is a win in itself
even if it doesn't create short-term victories.
I equate it to the following: we're living a digital marathon
and most people aren't willing to get on the treadmill for a
couple months to get ready for it.
