(festive music)
- Good morning, good life.
I don't know if I've said that yet today.
It's already been quite a long day.
There's sounds in the background
'cause we're in a New York cab.
Megan's with me.
We're in New York.
We're riding to VaynerMedia
to speak with the one and the only.
Literally, probably the only, Gary Vaynerchuk.
I'm gonna be doing a little interview with him today,
a little bit of press for the book.
I may have double-booked myself today
because I forgot that today is also our team holiday party,
(Megan laughs)
so I was like, "Hmm, we're gonna strategically
"choose flights to get us back on time for that."
So we're pulling for that so we can get a little bit
of Topgolf in with everybody later on.
Looks pretty beautiful outside.
Shouldn't be a big deal, should be pretty easy.
I'm pretty sure I forgot to put eyeliner on this morning
because I was doing makeup
and trying to get Lucy settled at 3:00 a.m.
You know, all hours.
All hours, the bugle calls.
Megan's never been to New York.
- Never. - How exciting.
- It's great. - We're just going
from LaGuardia to Hudson Yards.
I don't think it's gonna be.
- The shuttle was great. - The trip of dreams.
We're not gonna see the Statue of Liberty.
I'm so sorry.
I feel like I should be taking her to all the places, but
(Megan laughing)
sorry, we don't have time.
We have to get back for Topgolf.
(laughs)
- Injectable doughnut holes. - Also it's like.
And the in-ject-i-cle,
Yeah, in-ject-i-cle is what I said.
Injectable, injected donut holes?
- Sure. - Yeah.
They're delicious, whatever they're called.
It's gonna be an interesting day.
So.
Exciting.
(festive music)
(upbeat festive music)
- Hi. - Hi, how are you?
- Good, how's it going, love? - Freezing!
(festive music)
- We flew in for a Daymond John, Gary V event.
- Uh huh. - Alex invited me
but he didn't know we were not based in New York.
- Uh huh. - He's like,
"There's this event tonight, you wanna come?"
I was like, "Sure."
And we got on the last flight out to get here in time.
And I was like, "Hey, Alex, we made it."
He was like, "I didn't, I don't, how, how did you do that?"
(laughing)
and then we came back here 'cause I was like
we were like, crashing on D Rock's couch.
- Yeah. - And I was like,
"Can I have that book I gave Gary earlier?"
And I like, took my book and I put it on the shelf.
(laughing)
And it was like in the Saturday DailyVee after that
and then I think they took it down,
but it was like, "Success.
(all laughing)
"We got it on the shelf."
(festive music)
- Hey guys, it's Gary Vaynerchuk
episode 331 of the Ask GaryVee Show.
Amy is back in the building,
I'm gonna allow her to introduce herself
to the VaynerNation in a minute,
talk about this lovely book.
It's really good to see you, Amy.
- It's great to see you, Gary.
Thanks for having me.
- Why don't you tell everybody who you are
and a little bit about what we're doing here.
- Sure.
My name is Amy Landino and I'm a VaynerSpeaker.
Isn't that the only thing that matters?
(Gary laughs)
But I think what most people know me for
is a YouTube channel called AmyTV.
I help people going after the life that they want.
I also have a podcast called Detail Therapy.
Speaking, I just wrote my second book,
Good Morning Good Life.
- When did this come out? - Just a couple weeks ago.
- Self-published or? - Self-published, baby.
- And how's that game been?
- Oh, it's a lot of work from the outset,
but it's so worth it in the end.
I can make a decision and just decide to do it
and whether it's the best thing I could have done
or I could have done something better, it's fine.
You reflect on it, you move on from it, you go.
If I decide to self-publish and I'm like,
"Hmm, should have done something."
Who cares?
Like, whatever progress. - You don't dwell.
- No, I don't.
Not at all.
Because I know that I can just do it again.
I can just try something else.
I can just go a different way.
And there's actually not a lot of things I can think of
where I'm like, "Oh, man, made the wrong move."
- So what are you hyped about?
What are you excited about, what's on your mind?
What are you thinking about these days?
- I don't know, I actually kind of had
a tangent thought-moment this morning,
just because I don't think I've ever sat down
and fully chatted with you in this kind of format,
but there's such a misconception
'cause you've been really kind to me,
you've been great to my career, my family,
but a lot of people have approached me and gone,
"How are you like best friends with Gary Vaynerchuk?"
(Gary laughs)
And I'm just like, "Well, you know.
"Good work observes good work."
A lot of people have the wrong idea
that you have to literally be on the phone with somebody,
talk to somebody every day, every week
for X number of minutes in order for them to mentor you.
But that's never been the case with you being my mentor.
I read your books, I watched your videos,
I listened to podcasts.
You told me what to do all along.
But it's like,
how many conversations do we need to have in between?
- People second guess themselves beforehand and after
and that's where all the energy goes.
- Absolutely. - Out of beating
themselves up.
It's a game of insecurity versus self-esteem.
- Mmm hmm. - This is,
this is one big game of that.
No matter how many different cartoons or platforms
or ways I package the story,
it's very, very, very important for people to understand
the way they think about themselves
is an uncomfortable variable to what's going to happen.
- Mmm hmm. - How's the book doing?
- It's great. - Yeah?
- I mean. - You sell some?
- Yeah, we've sold a few.
Yeah, we've definitely sold some books.
It's amazing 'cause it's like,
I haven't had to create any content on Instagram lately.
- Who's this? - Everybody's just posting.
- Doing it for you. - The book.
- [Calvin] I think Amy asked you something
around it once, too, about like,
how do you get the energy back after doing something big.
Both of you guys are up to really big things.
- Calvin is on our shit. - And around this time of year
we have so many people about to set New Year's resolutions.
- Yes. - And aiming bigger
and I'm just curious for both of you, Amy and Gary,
first of all, what are you celebrating right now in 2019
and more importantly, how are your sights now set on 2020.
Like, how do you goal set, how do you vision set.
Like, what's going on?
- You first, Amy. - I mean, I'm exciting
about my new book.
That's pretty much my 2019.
I mean, like, the end of a decade,
this is our hay day at AmyTV.
Like, January, New Year, New Me.
It's a new decade, like we're just gonna
have so much fun with that.
But you also can't get so engrossed in that.
It's very easy to have New Year's resolutions,
it's a totally different thing to execute
and to actually stick with something.
A habit isn't a habit 'cause you called it a habit.
It's a habit because it becomes habitual.
That's a lot of what's in front of me.
I mean, like, is helping people understand
that they actually have the time to do the things
that they want to do if they care about it that much.

Good morning, good life.
I'm sitting on the floor.
(laughs)
I just felt like this is the best place
for us to hang out at this point
because we are bringing it all to a close.
So yesterday was crazy, to say the least.
I just wrote down every detail in my morning pages.
And yes, the sun is up
because it was a late wake-up this morning.
I like whirlwind travel days
because it means I get to sleep in my own bed
when I get, you know, at the end of the day.
That part is fun for me.
It was a little bit nerve-wracking
that our team party was the same night,
but we had so much fun at Topgolf, oh my gosh.
It was just nice
'cause I don't think we've really gotten
to let our hair down in a little while.
Except for the book launch party was kinda cool
but you're still in the office
so it's not quite the same thing.
But anyway, we had a lot of fun last night.
Overall yesterday was a freakin' awesome
and also a very weird day.
Like it's not very often that you go appear
on your digital mentor's show.
And right before the holidays and all this kinda stuff.
So anyway, I'm just kind of sitting in that right now,
trying to go like, "What just happened?"
But no, it was really great.
And I'm so pleased with it and I'm glad we did it.
There's just stuff like that,
that it's like, "Wow, that happened.
"That's a thing that happened."
And I've been thinking about when I was gonna be able
to do something like that for a long time.
And it's like, "Oh, at the end of the decade, that's when.
"Hmm, that makes sense."
That, I feel like, sitting down with Gary,
talking about how we know each other
and how he's helped my career and ways I've supported him
and things like that.
It's just kind of like the perfect icing on the cake
for ending the decade.
It's like, "Okay, checked that off, I'm good."
So yeah, yesterday was a really awesomely weird day.
I'm happy about it.
I kind of feel like because of that,
this is the perfect way to end Vlogmas.
I don't know what else could follow that up.
This is definitely a moment I would want,
I would have wanted to document and share with you
and I just feel like it's exactly the tone
that I want to leave you with.
'Cause hopefully we had a conversation
that was helpful to you.
Maybe there was some advice in there
that was good and helpful for you and so,
I just feel like this is it for 2019 for me.
We're calling it.
So this is the last episode of Vlogmas.
I'm just so grateful to all of you who watched an episode
or all of them.
We didn't get to 25, but I think it's okay.
We had a really crazy month and we brought you along
for all the best parts of it.
And there's so much to watch
if you haven't watched everything.
It's been an amazing ride.
By the time you're watching this,
we will be in Connecticut spending time with Vin's family.
We're gonna take some time off of the channel
before the new year.
We'll come back for the New Year.
So, yeah, it's just a good time for us to sit in the win
of the book being done, all the vlogmas' that went out,
start planning what we want to share with you in 2020.
It's gonna be a fun, New Year for everybody
and I certainly want to be here for you as a part of it.
So that's what's going on but for now
I think we need to reset our brains,
reset our creativity a little bit.
And so that's the plan.
That's what's going on.
I'm so deeply appreciative for everyone.
Not just if you're watching this channel,
but if you bought the book,
you've no idea how much that moves the needle for me
because it's really hard to make a product
that is worth someone's money
and I take it really, really seriously
and every time we found mistakes, we've done our best
to work on them and get them fixed and everything.
I want it to be the best, possible product for you,
I appreciate you hanging with me as we learn the process
and just do the best that we can
but I'm so proud of this book
especially because of the feedback
that we've been getting so far
that it really is helpful.
Because sometimes you talk about something so much
and if you talk about something so much,
it probably means you're an expert which is great.
But sometimes you talk about something so much,
you're like, "Is this what they needed?
"Is this what they really need?
"Have we gotten all the way to the heart of it?"
And so far it seems like that's the case.
I just am always looking to you to tell me what to do next.
Anytime I've made changes in the past
or pivoted in the past,
it was all because of what conversations
that you and I are having.
And so I hope you know that even if you've commented
a million times and I haven't replied to you, somehow,
or even if you've been watching forever
and you're not 100% sure I know who you are.
I am paying attention, I'm listening, I see my DMs,
I see my comments, I see my tweets, I see my every.
I pay attention to all of it
because I need you to tell me what is up
because that is how we keep a thriving relationship
is for me to hear you.
So, thank you for all of the times
that you have shared your thoughts with me
and even just giving me feedback by watching a video
and leaving a comment or by buying a book
and saying thank you for this.
That means the world to me.
And I'm just always trying to figure out
how I can be better for you and for me
and it's really fun that it's super meta
that we're all self-bettering ourselves
and talking about self-bettering ourselves
while we self-better ourselves.
So with that, thank you so much
for the most amazing 2019 ever,
'cause there's only one anyway.
But it was a great one.
I'm so looking forward to what we do next year
and I love you.
I hope that describes my feelings right now
because that's it.
I love you.
You really help complete who I feel
I'm supposed to be in this world.
No crying.
That's all for today, thank you so much for tuning in,
I appreciate it as always.
Make sure you subscribe for good vibes.
Kiss the ones you love.
And go after the life that you want.
Not 100% sure what's going on over there
but I felt the need to put the camera on Lucy.
(laughs)
Lucy, why don't you close out the year for us, okay?
Cheers.
(laughs)
Hey, are you struggling to find time
for the things you love?
Feel like you're constantly on the go
but taking care of everyone else first?
You are not alone and you deserve so much more.
Not only are you capable of taking on this challenge,
you already have all the tools it takes to make it happen.
That resourcefulness is all you need
to get activated by your new, daily mantra.
Good Morning, Good Life.
It's my new book and it launches on Amazon on December 10th.
