Don't Live For the Algorithm, Live For Your Happiness | GaryVee Audio Experience

On this very special episode of the GVAE, we keep a promise that was delayed by COVID. In 2020, we held the #GaryVeeChallenge, a content-making contest, where the winners would be invited to be on the GVAE podcast. Today, we have them here. We discuss their business endeavors and lives, touch on the importance of following your heart and putting your ego on the shelf, and the importance of not living for the algorithm but instead living for your happiness. We also dive into the importance of deploying empathy towards others even when we don't see things their way. This was an incredibly important episode for me to make and I hope you all get something out of it.
Thank you to P&T Studios for having us today. If you're a creator in the NY area be sure to stop in and check out their website www.ptknitwear.com/ .

I’ve watched/listened to Gary Vee for years & I can’t express how much business acumen I’ve absorbed that has helped propel my little nail show business. Today I was working on my laptop while listening to this video & was so surprised to hear Katie Masters (someone I’d just met as part of our July trade show this summer) introduce herself! Immediately I closed my laptop & stopped listening to the video just to DM Katie a congratulations, plus express how proud I was of her business accomplishment for being on Gary Vee’s show. I didn’t even know what she said in this video past telling her name & “Nail Thoughts” business, but I finished watching it after DMing her. I’m so thrilled for our nail tech community & for Katie! 🥰

Let your light shine in this world of darkness. It’s time to shine bright like a 💎 for all of the world to see. Be kind and choose to see the best and focus on the best in others. Protons over electrons!!

[@johnklus]

This is true. Sometimes I worry about making simple videos but even just a single shot of you talking into camera can let the audience know who you are as a person and that’s what matters most. And improve your quality and figure out things overtime. So many people start with random videos and then merge into something else.

[@Aleex_Leon]

It´s not easy to stop this mindset. But we´ll make it work Gary! Fam, support every piece of each of your favorite creators. Meaningful work is so pleasant to be recognized. Wish you the best. Stay Happy =)
