The Garyvee Audio Experience

 #QOTD: What will the results of the Jets-Lions game be? Look, I'm a salesman. I'm all about the CTA (Call to action), but at the end of the day we're talking about the difference between sales and branding. Anybody can be a great salesman, but creating a great brand is something totally different. Being a Nike, being a Puma, as opposed to just selling sneakers, is totally different. Sometimes I don't go for the CTA, sometimes I don't go for the popup, or the other growth-hacking techniques. The reason for that is I believe in the Jabs. I believe in branding. I believe that there is a time and a place. I believe there's context. In a 2015 world, people watch this show, and they see that I'm not selling them anything; that I'm taking the time to do this in my favorite place in the world (the Jets' parking lot). Sure I COULD throw some call to action at them, but by asking for that, I leaving something huge on the table. That person has the ability to google me, find out more, and develop a real relationship wi

#QOTD: 1) How do you like your iPhone 6? 2) What do you think about the Ali Baba IPO? I love it when a random question leads me back to my core value: Create content (JAB) to grow the audience, and then sell (RIGHT HOOK) them your product. It's so simple, it's so straightforward, and it applies to just about ANY situation where you want to sell something.  

#QOTD - What's your favorite tailgate food? (Lurkers, I'm looking at you!) A wine review?! THAT'S RIGHT BABY! We're bringing it back to my roots for episode 20. Back to the show, though, I get the gender question a lot, and it's always kind of baffling to me. VaynerMedia is 63% female, a number that's equally reflected at the top levels of management. I guess it's just something I never think about because the simple math reveals everything I'd say anyway.

#QOTD: Can we make a deal? I want to get my show distribution, and I want to talk to YOU about getting it on your blog. HEY LURKERS! Yes I'm talking to you. My favorite part about the old WLTV days was having a real community of commenters who I could rely on to be there day after day. FEEDBACK IS MY OXYGEN, so get in there and TALK TO ME!

 #QOTD: What do you think of the new http://garyvaynerchuk.com ?? The fact that I can (and have) effected and touched so many people is absolutely mindblowing to me. Buying the Jets is will happen one day, but even if it doesn't I take enormous pride in the fact that I've already cemented my legacy as a person who can communicate and engage at scale.

 #QOTD: Share something about yourself in the comments. I want something to cheer me up! Sorry I'm in just a bad mood today, guys. Miss America was a totally amazing experience, but the Jets game yesterday really put me on a bad track for this week. On the plus side, I got to share some new facts about how I built up VaynerMedia this episode.

#QOTD: What was the hardest decision you've ever had to make? If the Apple Watch is one thing, it's predictable. I think when I say "we're all going to become robots" people think I'm kidding, but I really mean it. Over the next 100 years, evolution is just going to take us there.

#QOTD: What state do you live in? I'm just not that interested in other people's rules. I mean thinking like that can be really helpful for some people, but I've only ever done what felt right, and I think layering on some kind of framework on top of it starts to create a product. Value your authenticity!!  

#QOTD: Where's your favorite vacation spot?   #mini-QOTD: Sound off if you have discovered me because of this show!   Loving these video questions, but definitely try to keep them to under 30 sec! Today's episode had a really special energy to it. Maybe it was Nate's cameo. Maybe it was all the talk about soccer and tennis. Maybe it was the fact that I got to work some good old-fashioned #humblebrag action in at the end. Whatever it was, this is a really truly fun episode, and perfect to share with any of your friends who might not know about The #AskGaryVee show yet.  

 #QOTD: What YouTube star would you like to see me make a video with? I have always said that my #1 most important trait is self-awareness. I mean that. People come to me and they ask all these personal questions that I just can't answer because I don't know them! My number one advice to everybody reading this is to step back and take a really honest inventory of your strengths and weaknesses. Are you a strong writer? Are you good on video? Do you have an awesome voice? Are you a photoshop wizard? The answer to these questions will point you in a very clear direction and show you whether you should be on YouTube, Souncloud, Medium, or Slideshare. They're all out there waiting for you!  

#QOTD: What's your fantasy football lock for this week? It feels so amazing to be back from vacation and in the VaynerMedia offices hustling again! Did you miss me? Today we went all out! There are plenty of guests, and plenty of REAL answers. I mean it. It gets a little weird today, but that is the point of this show: for me to be 100% honest and deliver as much value as I possibly can.

 #QOTD: What are you doing this weekend? Guys, I'm so serious. If a winery in Napa started doing unbiased wine reviews from around the world, it would be HUGE. When one of you does it, you can thank me later ;) I'll see you all in a couple of weeks when I get back from vacation. I hope you all get to spend tons of time with your families, and I can't wait to answer your questions in September!  

 #QOTD: What did you think of today's episode? In today's episode we examine one of my least favorite actions: complaining. We also talk about cute old ladies, Facebook's organic reach, and why I'm so obnoxiously lucky to be living in America and doing what I'm doing.

#QOTD: Who in your family inspires you the most?  Today we a very special episode of The #AskGaryVee show. I've been holding off on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge for awhile now, but when my man Michael called me out, I knew I had to make the move! So now I challenge YOU, VaynerNation, to get out there, soak yourselves, and DONATE!

#QOTD: What is currently your favorite single beverage? Things that I have decided are important: Keeping life spicy, wine, my health, and being honest.

 #QOTD: What other personalities in the video world are you enjoying content from? Getting into some long-winded answers today! It's a really great sign, too, because it's clear that you guys are asking me amazing questions, so I really want to give some of them the time they deserve. Also be sure to hit me up on CyberDust tomorrow (@garyvee) so I can answer some of your more personal questions.

In this episode we talk about getting familiar with Facebook advertising, my love for my family, and the magic of red-headed quarterbacks. On top of that we get into being grateful, being right, and being patient. Three of my favorite things!

In this episode I talk about the importance of my wife, my health, and the fact that Brett Favre had a brief stint as a NY Jet. I also ask the most important question of all: Are you actually bringing value to your consumers?!

Episode three already! This time around I'm talking about what my father taught me about building businesses. I also talk about the future, building local startups, and how small businesses can conserve their cash.

Guys THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BORING BUSINESS! Do you have any idea how many people are in the market for DIY content? A hardware store is literally DROWNING in potential content. Also in this episode, I get into how music producers can use social media to market their products. Watch now!
