The GaryVee Audio Experience

This one’s for anyone in marketing who’s still clinging to outdated tactics.

I sat down for a conversation at Advertising Week and went deep on how the industry is changing — fast. From the collapse of social media as we knew it to the rise of live shopping, AI influencers, and attention-based algorithms, this episode covers where marketing is actually going, not where people wish it was going.

I also break down why most creative still fails, how data and attention go hand in hand, and what brands need to start doing right now to stay relevant in the era of "interest media."

👀 We talk about:

• Why creative is finally being held accountable

• The myth of "brand vs. performance" in today’s ecosystem

• How to actually use data without losing intuition

• The rise of AI influencers and live shopping

• Why I don’t romanticize any platform — just where the attention is

If you work in marketing, own a brand, or just want to understand the real landscape — this is required listening. Let’s go.

Today’s episode is all about AI — the fears, the facts, and most importantly, the mindset shift you need to thrive.

We’ve compiled some of my strongest takes on the future of work and how AI fits into it. You’ll hear from people who are genuinely scared they’re about to be replaced… and I’ll give you the exact advice I’d give my own team. This tech is moving fast — but it’s not about being perfect. It’s about being adaptable.

The people who succeed will stop acting like task doers and start thinking like architects. AI won’t destroy opportunity — it’ll redefine who earns it.

We talk about:

• 🧠 How to move from executor to strategic thinker

• 🛠️ The tools and skills that make you AI-proof

• 🔥 Why fear is the biggest risk (not AI itself)

• 💡 Prompting, context, and how to actually use ChatGPT

• 💼 What AI means for team size, compensation, and opportunity

This is for anyone who’s been hesitant, overwhelmed, or just curious — listen now and start turning uncertainty into leverage.

In this episode, Gary speaks to a group of business owners about the real challenges and opportunities in today’s landscape — from the rapid evolution of AI to the often-overlooked power of consistent social content.

He explains why many businesses aren’t seeing results with digital marketing, how simple strategies like localized video ads can drive actual customer growth, and why understanding AI isn’t just a competitive edge — it’s quickly becoming a necessity.

If you're navigating hiring issues, trying to stand out in a crowded market, or simply unsure where to start with new tools and platforms, this episode offers a clear, practical perspective.

We cover:

• Common mistakes in social media marketing — and how to correct them

• A $50 local ad strategy that’s working right now

• Why AI will impact every industry — not just tech

• How trust and authenticity will separate brands that grow from those that don’t

• Tips for creating content without overthinking it

Whether you're just starting to explore AI or trying to make your content actually move the needle, this conversation will help you rethink where to focus your time and energy in 2025.

This is my 2024 commencement speech at NYU Stern — one of the most important talks I’ve given.

I break down what graduating students actually need to know before entering the real world. This isn’t about hype or theory — it’s about the mindset and clarity you’ll need to succeed in a tough job market and an even tougher business landscape.

We talk about:

• Why adversity early in your career is a good thing

• How to stop letting other people’s opinions control your decisions

• The problem with participation trophies and fearing failure

• Why self-awareness and patience matter more than your resume

• How to build a career you won’t regret at 80

If you’re a recent grad — or about to become one — this is a message you need to hear.

The insane 400 trillion to 1 odds of becoming a human being is enough to drive me daily, I'm just grateful for this at bat!!

I’m getting deep on this one—this is a raw and reflective talk I gave recently, and it goes way beyond business. I touch on what it means to simplify your life, how gratitude and guilt have driven my success, and why judgment is the killer of potential.

We also talk about:

• The massive shift coming when glasses replace phones

• Why the scariest thing isn’t failure—it’s regret

• Parenting, personal growth, and how fear shaped me as a kid

• How humility is the secret weapon for speed and success

• And why materialism might be destroying your happiness

This episode is real. It's emotional. It's about business, yes—but it's even more about you. If you’re stuck, if you’re overwhelmed, if you’re scared to post or take the leap… this one’s for you.

This one’s for the real entrepreneurs—the ones in the trenches building something that matters. In this keynote from the BizX conference, I go deep on the real traits of successful business owners: resilience, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of attention through content. We’re entering a world where platforms like ChatGPT and AI-driven search will dominate how customers find solutions—and if you're not building a brand now, you will regret it later.

I break down exactly why social media is the greatest opportunity in modern business history, why building brand is your only protection against commoditization, and why content is no longer optional—it's oxygen. We also dive into pricing your worth, the truth about HR, and how to create engaging B2B content without being boring.

This is a direct, no-BS talk for founders, business leaders, marketers, and creators who want to future-proof their businesses and win attention in the modern world.

Today’s video is the “best of” my 1.5 hour Backseat Q&A! So if you missed it, or just wanted to catch the highlights, this video is for you. I talk about taking your side hustle full time, whether or not social media is skill or pure luck, and how to stay consistent making content (and making it viral). Hope you enjoy!

In today’s episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, we're sharing a powerful keynote Gary gave at Samsung — all about leadership, adaptability, and thriving in the face of chaos.

Gary dives deep into why the old rulebooks for business no longer apply, and how kindness, accountability, and relentless adaptability are now the ultimate competitive advantages. He shares personal stories about his upbringing, building Wine Library into a $65M business, and the hard lessons that shaped his leadership style.

You'll also hear his take on the future of marketing, why "interest media" has replaced social media, and why understanding AI isn't optional anymore — it's survival. If you're serious about leading in today's rapidly changing world, this one’s a must-listen. 🚀

We talk about:

• How to lead without relying on fear

• Why most companies are underestimating organic social media

• The real reason attention is today's most valuable currency

• How to future-proof your leadership in an AI-driven world

• Why recessions and tough times are opportunities — not setbacks

🔥 Whether you’re a business leader, entrepreneur, or just hungry to stay ahead, this keynote will shift your mindset and sharpen your strategy.

Happy Sunday!

Time management isn’t about mastering every moment — it’s about your relationship with imperfection. In this episode, we dive into why the most successful people drop balls all the time — and how being comfortable with imperfection is the real secret to getting more done. Learn how to free yourself from the fear of failure, stop judging your productivity, and unlock an abundance mindset that changes everything.

In this throwback keynote from Elevate 2017 in Copenhagen — the first 40 minutes of it — I lay out the real game of business in today’s world:

🎯 It’s not about who’s got the best product.
📲 It’s about who’s best at grabbing and keeping attention.

Whether you’re in SaaS, hospitality, DTC, or B2B — this is about understanding that you’re not just in your industry. You’re competing with Netflix, TikTok, your customer’s email inbox, and every other distraction on Earth. The only way to break through? Act like a media company first, and sell second.

I also share some tactical gold: how to leverage Facebook and LinkedIn (yes, still), why “guilt marketing” works, and how the future of voice — Alexa, Google Home, podcasting — is going to create the next land grab.

If you’re serious about growth in 2025, there’s no fluff in this one.

🎙️ We talk about:

• The real reason people ignore your ads

• How to use Instagram DMs to build business relationships that change everything

• Why podcasting and voice search are going to dominate time and behavior

• What most business owners still don’t understand about attention

• How to actually make B2B content that converts

📍 From the ELEVATE 2017 Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark
📆 Recorded in 2017, more relevant than ever in 2025

We’re living in an era where attention is everything, and yet so many people are still sleeping on the opportunity right in front of them. This keynote/Q&A combo from my 2017 trip to Copenhagen hits on a mindset that’s even more relevant now — how to make the most of your time, your brand, and your content strategy in the world we live in today.

Whether you’re an early-stage entrepreneur, an overwhelmed creator, or just trying to figure out how to get more people to care about your thing — this one is loaded with straight truth.

🧠 "People are protecting their time like it's precious when it's actually their biggest asset."

If you’re trying to turn your side hustle into your main thing but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted… this one’s for you.

Destiny’s been grinding—working a full-time 9-to-5 while building her hair extension business on nights and weekends. But when she came on the show, it was clear she needed a mindset reset more than a marketing plan. I broke it all down with her—why burnout might be coming from the wrong kind of hard work, how to maximize the real hours you have, and why posting on social media is the absolute non-negotiable for growing your biz.

If you’re still sleeping on LinkedIn in 2025, this is your wake-up call 🚨

I’ve been shouting this for a while — the amount of organic reach and business opportunity on LinkedIn right now is insane. In this keynote from a recent Vegas conference, I break down why LinkedIn is behaving like Facebook did back in 2013… and why it’s a massive miss if you’re not capitalizing on it.

I get tactical — what kind of content actually works, how to show up if you're camera shy, and why building a brand is way more powerful than your next cold call. This is about long-term brand over short-term sales. If you're trying to grow your business, hire better people, or finally land that dream investor, this one’s for you.

If I were starting from scratch in 2024, here’s exactly how I’d approach social media marketing 💡

There’s so much confusion right now around what platforms to focus on — especially for beginners. In this episode, I map out the different paths depending on what you sell, who you're selling to, and what kind of creator you actually are. B2B? Start on LinkedIn. Selling merch? Focus on TikTok. Don’t love video? I even give you a strategy using only photos and written word that can still crush.

I also get into how to find underpriced attention, how to think about format changes when your content’s not hitting, and the one thing most people get wrong about "being known."

This one's for the doers ready to make 2024 their breakthrough year 🚀

This Tea episode was wild—in the best way possible. I went deep with a bunch of callers on everything from building personal brands to battling imposter syndrome, choosing between buying a house or opening a dream pizza shop, and even bouncing back after Etsy shut down a six-figure store.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared to start, or unsure which way to go—this is the episode for you. There’s a ton of real advice in here, but more than that, it’s energy. It’s fire. It’s the push you need to stop overthinking and start moving.

We talk about:

• Why "perfect" content is killing your momentum

• The truth about followers, DMs, and your first 13 fans

• Whether college still makes sense (especially if you're creative)

• AI, brand building, and the future of search

• What to do when life punches you in the face—and how to fight back

• The pizza shop vs. house debate (and why offense always wins)

• How to grow leads with local ads and repurposed content

• Why soft skills matter and how to find companies that actually care

2025 is here, and the game has changed 🧠📱

In this episode, I go deep on one of the biggest missed opportunities in marketing today: turning viral content into actual conversions. Just because something got 4 million views doesn’t mean people are going to buy — but there’s a way to bridge that gap 👊

I break down:

• The shift from social networks to interest-based algorithms

• Why Instagram feels impossible right now — and how to beat it

• My exact strategy for content remixing: viral organic → high-performing ad

• Why LinkedIn is your best friend if you’re franchising or selling B2B

• My big marketing regret around TikTok… and what I’d do differently

If you’re trying to sell more, grow faster, or just stay relevant in today’s marketing world — this one’s for you. Let’s build some brand performance together 🚀

In this clip from Gary’s appearance on Squawk Box, he dives into a trend that’s about to explode in the U.S. — live social shopping.

If you’ve been sleeping on platforms like Whatnot, TikTok Shop, or even Instagram Live as sales channels, this is your wake-up call. Gary breaks down how social commerce is evolving, why it’s dominating overseas, and what brands and creators need to do now to catch up.

On today’s episode, Gary sits down with Erika from the Erika Taught Me podcast for a powerful conversation that flips the typical “get rich quick” mindset on its head.

If you've ever asked, “What’s the fastest way to make $100K?” — this one's for you. But Gary’s take might surprise you. He challenges the idea of speed altogether and dives deep into why chasing trends and quick wins might be exactly what's holding you back.

They talk about real paths to wealth through self-awareness, passion, and building something meaningful around what you actually love — even if that's snow globes. Yes, snow globes. 👀

Today's episode of the podcast is Tea with GaryVee Ep. 72!

This episode was one of those rare ones where the energy in the room matched the depth of the conversation. You’ll hear Gary talk about commerce-tainment in real time—literally selling while delivering value—and it perfectly sets the tone for what this show is about: merging business with real, raw conversations that matter.

We had a caller who just left a high-paying job to chase his dream. Gary didn’t sugarcoat it—he gave him perspective he’ll probably carry for life. Another guest, 23 years old, battling FOMO and struggling with procrastination, got a reality check and a reminder to be kinder to himself. The balance of motivation and accountability in these moments is what makes this show so special to produce.

From parenting advice for a teenage sneaker reseller to practical steps if the economy crashes—this episode covers a crazy amount of ground. And it ends with Gary going full speed on redefining success, why most people are stuck in cycles of self-doubt, and how the simplest mindset shift can change your entire life.

If you’re in your head, overwhelmed, or just need to hear someone say it how it is, this is the one to lock into.

We talk about growing up as an immigrant, the emotional roots of my ambition, and how my mom’s mix of love and accountability gave me the gift of unshakable confidence. I open up about my dark side, how I deal with criticism, and the emotional cost of chasing massive dreams.

I hope you all enjoyenjoy❤️

You need other people’s attention before you can tell them what you want from them ... attention is the singular asset ... and right now, the world's attention sits in mobile devices at scale on a handful of social platforms. The game is about communicating with (them / people / the audience) in written, audio, and/or video form.

Should you buy a house—or bet on yourself?
In this powerful conversation, I talk with Jayo, a former top general manager at Papa John’s who’s at a real crossroads: he’s got $100K saved and is torn between investing in a house or chasing his dream of opening a pizza shop.

I don’t hold back in this one. Jayo’s got the experience, the hunger, and the heart—and I push him to confront the real reason he's hesitating. Is it logic… or fear? We break it down, challenge some limiting beliefs, and get into the truth about taking risks when you’re built for it.

I recently sat down with my guy David Rodolitz, one of my co-founders at VCR Group, for an awesome convo on The Stanza podcast with Nadine — and I knew I had to share it with you here.

This episode isn’t just about hospitality. It’s about brand, community, innovation, and how to actually build something meaningful in a world that’s changing fast.

We got into the real behind-the-scenes of launching Flyfish Club, how we think about experience as a brand strategy, and why the next wave of business is going to be driven by tech, trust, and thoughtful execution.

If you’re building anything right now — a company, a team, a brand — this one’s for you.
