I'd be careful about telling artists to find a business partner. That's how a lot of artists and musicians end up getting screwed. You see actors/musicians/etc that are bankrupt even though they've made millions, because they trusted someone else with their money and the products of their labor that they've worked so hard on. Generally people that are into finance, don't add much value, they just know how to work the system and move money around, they don't actually produce anything. If you're going to find a partner, make sure this person is doing just as much work as you, and is just as committed, and HONEST. I've had people try to take me for a ride as an artist. At the end of the day, I learned that I need to learn how to be a business person and know how to market myself, if I'm ever going to get where I really want to go. If you don't know how to manage your business as an artist, how are you ever going to be able to make sure someone else is managing them properly? Do you really want someone selling licenses for your stuff to make a sale without being knowledgeable about the terms your agreeing to? These are the types of things artists like to avoid getting into but are necessary to know about.

[@TheAhmedAlshamy]

Your advice charges my core. The thing is I always knew I will succeed, and listening to somebody who’s had the same belief is an affirmation in on itself. What I learned in 2017 is that change is as easy as much as we believe it to be. The thing is, that teaching along lead me to think, what if all other things were as easy as we believed them to be, and that thought spread like a virus in my mind, and the thing is, it has completely changed my attitude to becoming the exact version of my hustler self that I always wanted to be. You are changing lives Gary, and if anything, I am so grateful for you!

[@luvmeki3703]

Thanks to my sister sharing this a couple weeks ago, I am now addicted to your show and want to go back and watch all your videos from the beginning and can't wait. Gary, you are my opposite, I suffered with severe social anxiety for 24 years (much better now but have a ways to go) and am a creative, not an operator. I love that I can learn so much from you. How to love myself even the parts others may hate. And not only that, but appreciate everyone... lovers or haters. And I'm hoping to become smarter from watching your videos. Although even if I don't, I find them so entertaining. You are awesome.

[@SolidK9Training]

your interaction with India seems much more sincere than usual, a new level of comfort and trust.....

[@adanbanuelos1266]

This is so goodooood. Even 4 years later. Love you GV.

[@prestonkd]

Hey Gary, I'm a lawyer and I love your content! You are amazing. The "no B.S." attitude is really refreshing to someone like me where pretty much everybody is lying to me on some level. Sometimes, when it is particularly bad, I can hear a little Gary Vee voice in my head that wants to say "You have got to be f****ing kidding me! You can't be serious!!!" That sort of thing is generally frowned upon in courtrooms! Keep it up!!!

[@EvanCarmichael]

Loving the golden era ***** - keep it up :) Thurs - #BTA24

[@AlissaLentz]

YES! The THANK YOU ECONOMY!!! Best book ever. Launched + building my biz around this. Highly recommend!!

[@emmettlester739]

If you don't mind, what's your business? :)

[@enesovica]

That was great. I loved the re-affirm do what you love (paraphrase) or your good at it not trying to "fit" yourself into others ideas of greatness. You are as rudely straightforward as I am and it takes a while for others to get through those to find out you have a heart of gold. I love all people. AMEN!

[@natashastuart]

Thank you SO MUCH for the answer to the creatives question… I've been struggling trying to make myself think in a more "business/entrepreneurial" way and it just doesn't come naturally to me…. I'd much rather (and feel WAY more comfortable) spending my time and energy striving to go from 8 to 12 in what I'm gifted at rather than spending all that same time trying to go from 0 to 2 in the business and sales skills. Hearing you say that is a big relief! I just want to create. :) And I feel like I'm still getting amazing value from you that I can implement into how I share my content but I feel a weight lifted that I can just own the fact that I do not have an entrepreneur mind set. Yay! haha…

[@magerleagues]

I'm enjoying the show Gary. I have shared it with my colleagues. We spend a half hour a day watching as a group.

[@TheNewTravel]

What is it about Gary that "catches" us? I wasnt digging his ego the first time I heard him talk, but now I get it. The ego is a way to tell people "I DO KNOW MY SHIT, and YOU KNOW I KNOW, and because I KNOW YOU KNOW I KNOW, I know you're going to listen if you like me or not"

[@xamaranto]

+The New Travel Blog Haha, it's funny what different people see in him in first impressions - I think there's ego there, but I think when you look past it he's more humble overall than he is egotistical. He's just confident and knows himself. What hooked me on him in the very beginning without knowing anything about him but then seeing him talk, was his character - he's genuine and you can tell he's answering questions right from his own brain/intuition a lot of the time, and not solely rattling off of things he's gotten from other people or external sources. Humility was actually the first thing I saw in him

[@matthewdunckley]

Hey Gary! Just started watching some of your stuff, and I really appreciate your encouraging words. And I'm actually the 1st lawyer in my family! I hope to create generational wealth one day for my family and for many others through diligence and entrepreneurship. Thanks again for encouraging people getting started like me--just started my first attorney job this month.

[@27thRenaissance]

This was another good one. Seeing you understand and refine your own work on camera is great. Answering well then giving wide context to follow. Answer of the Day: I was a lawyer in a 4th grade mock trial. Lead prosecutor, I put my friend Kenny in jail for diamond theft.

[@chrisorbe3054]

Everything you say is so straight up and I wish more people were like that!! Love it!!

[@NextThreeDays]

Gary, first time I ever heard of you was when I saw you in person. Professor "Coach" Boyer at Virginia Tech and his class invited you to Blacksburg to talk about wine and all things Gary Vee. As a local, I knew Professor Boyer makes magic happen and was able to score a ticket even though I had no clue who you were or what you did. I was mesmerized with what you were saying and became an immediate fan at your live keynote. As someone who had just left my job to start my own company, I took a lot of your advice to heart even though you scared the crap out of my with your discussion about advertising being dead (my company's revenue model is based on advertising). Since then I've listened to most of your keynotes, purchased all your books and am a regular viewer of the AskGaryVee show. Thanks for all that you do!

[@paulashinn]

Love how Gary is on a super hyped ego train recently. LOVING IT

[@ChefLizette]

QOTD: My sister is a lawyer. *Bless you on the sneeze. Sharp, crisp and funny answers. Difinitely hitting a new chapter for the shoooooooooow!! Love it❤️

[@eddieteran3369]

Bless you! God I wish I had won the contest for this Friday, though I wouldn't have been able to make it anyway. If I were available and won, I would have gone into it like a sponge, ready to soak up all the knowledge I possibly could. My big takeaway from this episode has to do with what you said about sending love to those who have shared the show on Facebook. A while back I commented about having to catch up on the show and you actually replied. I could not believe how much that tiny interaction meant to me, I felt like a total fanboy! You're a busy dude who I respect very much and you took 20 seconds of your day to acknowledge me... I'm shocked at how great that felt. Thank you, Gary :).

[@DonnaMerrill]

Love Jay's question on this episode. Your answer is an honest one Gary. Like what you said that "everybody matters"

[@jakelira8385]

QOTD: I was supposed to be the lawyer in the family... until I decided to give more school the middle finger and move on to what I wanted to do. Definitely in the camp that believes 122 was possibly the best episode yet. Love it.

[@kimberleyd859]

If I am being completely honest, when I first was shown one of your videos I was like "Whoa" I thought wow he swears a lot and is very full on. :) But I liked what you had to say and that drew me in to watch another video, and another video and it didn't take long to realise that you are an incredibly authentic human being. Who actually loves humans and wants everyone to succeed. You aren't a life coach who has a little certificate you have actually lived an experience and continue to live it and you are offering so much good advice thats really quite simple, but we like to complicate things. Thanks for being you and always having that fun and random nature just showing yourself in your pure raw form. You have taught me how to document instead of create and for that which I am still mastering of course but I am on the right path. Oh and how to do exactly what I do best and stay in my lane. Thank you Gary!

[@crimsonlettersinvitations]

Yes, I admit the first few times I saw you I was enthralled but the cursing was a lot for me to handle, due to family upbringing, you know!!! BUT NOW....I LOVE ALL OF YOUR STUFF and I don't even hear the cursing. I just appreciate everything that you put out!!!!

[@cmcocktails]

I love how ***** is his own hugest fan :) Nobody enjoys Gary's answers as much as himself and he'll sure as hell tell ya! lol. If anyone wanted to take a selfie with me (presumably my fans not just some random dude off the street), I'll do what they want as my "line in the sand" is making sure when the fan walks away they're mumbling to their friend "dude, that was awesome." Being yourself when in front of someone you've put on a pedestal is definitely hard, but if you've been doing a lot of work with teams, groups and have done some presentation you've probably already found who you are and are okay with bean yourself. When I meet someone of some fame (and that can be different for everyone) I just act as if I know the person yet still am appreciative of what they've done. Maybe I just feel like I'm better than them? :)

[@jeddaustin]

Coffee and catching up on Gary Vee's shoooooooww is quickly becoming my morning routine

[@RobertoBlake]

#QOTD Nobody in my family is a lawyer, I wish there was, it'd make business easier. ***** this is easily one of the best episodes of the #AskGaryVee show. As a creative entrepreneur I can honestly say that what you were saying is spot on. I often find that some of my fellow creatives are more romantic about things and that as a result they leave a lot on the table, or don't scale to where there talents would otherwise take them. With that said, I've been keeping an eye on India's artwork and photography and I'm really curious to see what happens there and how hanging around you influences her as a creative where the biz side is concerned.... #VaynerNation do you think India should turn her creative talents into business? and would you be interested in commissioning her for artwork?

[@DocSheldonSEO]

OMG! Now I'll be able to tell my grandkids that I was watching the moment that ***** did his first online sneeze! "This, my child, was the greatness of the 120-129 AGV Era!" QOTD Response: There's no lawyers in our entire family, on either side... so at least we've got THAT goin' for us! ;) My niece and god-daughter, though, is moving to Boston next week, 'cause her hubby got a full-ride to Harvard Law School (and she got a full ride to Simmons!) So pretty soon, we won't even have THAT goin' for us!

[@ChefLizette]

You're so funny Doc!

[@Newfuturebuilder]

Doc Sheldon Ha! It will be the sneeze of legend!

[@hawkzindell5912]

I dig the advice to creatives to hire someone for business... Finding a legit partner can be dicey if you're a networking fearing introvert (which lots of creatives are) and a little dangerous if you don't have great business judgement, hiring or "hiring" someone mitigates that.

[@Newfuturebuilder]

***** I think finding a business partner is a tough process for anyone. I'm still searching for folks to join my cause but I'm taking it nice and slow.

[@zackofpluto2884]

Gary Vee is saving young lost souls with his videos!

[@PaddyMcCracken]

These last few episodes have been on point... Im sure it can be called an era for you now, but your'e just getting started! From episode one to today, YOU and your team are simply becoming more polished and poised... Thank you for the 20 minutes of added value..

[@KrisTheCoach]

Hey Gary Great Episode! I did actually not like you the first time I heard you speaking in 2014 because you were cursing and so intense. Then I heard what you did as a kid and as an entrepreneur and I shut my mind up and opened it. I've been a fan ever since! QOTD: Got a teammate from the USA who's a lawyer now, Robert Buzzard

[@louisperez3781]

I think the biggest problem creatives have, is that they hire someone with their own vision. The best partners to have are those who make your vision theirs or at least submit their vision to yours. But two brains pulling in opposite directions is just leading to failure. The hard part, is that as business minded people and creatives. We naturally attract other business minded people and creatives. When you make a friend list of leaders, you dont make room for the followers you need to help you with the ground work. Just my opinion...

[@lifefeaturingme6221]

Everyone matters, learn from haters, embrace supporters

[@jeromeleray572]

Just watched this episode with my girlfriend. It is the first time she has seen any of your videos. The first words that came out of her mouth, after the episode, were, "man, I want to meet his wife!!!" Cheers for the content! Hope your feeling the love from Australia.

[@emsisrbc]

QOTD - That would be my sister and me! Two very different legal eagles: I live and breathe social media - personally and as a lawyer. She's barely on it. I like the cursing. Keep doing it. I was wondering who's office are you were in. I knew you wouldn't have that many file cabinets in your office. BTW - I'm super jealous of Marc Yudkin. I would love to be a general counsel at VaynerMedia.

[@blackleaf31]

Ruth Carter If you want to be general counsel, you will have to fight me for it, since I will apply as well :)

[@BoBMcIntosh]

Couldn't agree more on being yourself, this was the same advice I got when I first started speaking and the more I embrace it the better what I do is received! #beYoself #askgaryvee

[@Newfuturebuilder]

QOTD: I don't believe we have a lawyer in our family. There are some folks that I graduated with that are in the process of becoming lawyers or just became one. Great video. In terms of interacting with fans and haters, I agree, not everyone is a pure hater, some just have different opinions. Once they have a deeper understanding, they may convert. Unless someone is blatantly disrespectful on my channel (spam and troll style), I'll always engage them respectfully to create a deeper understanding.

[@JetSpencer]

+Gary Vaynerchuk I consistently send people in your direction. I wholeheartedly believe that you are the future of social media marketing as well as marketing in general IMO. Thank you for the amazing content not to mention the ideas that you put on on the daily. #success #business #socialmedia #askgaryvee #marketing

[@redbeardjunior]

I'm watching this in 2019 I Love it thanks for all the tips! I stop doubting my self this year I am 25 a single dad and had some hard times NOW I am following my dream alongside my work, I am not the best at making art but it's my dream. Thank you @GaryVee I live in the Netherlands. #CaryVee

[@ArtofJoseVega]

Really the creative part resonated with me! Thanks for that, even if its just a little it helps to also think more about the business side of my artwork and putting that in mind when talking to clients and making deals.

[@reesehammerstrom1985]

Keep bringing the FIRE baby! Confidence for dayzzzz

[@raeraejinks8812]

Hey GV, no lawyers in my family but I'm very good at law myself! I like you because you're so real & it's great, no old white stale bread,you look good with your new body, thanks for being you 120%!

[@jensanfilippo4369]

I've been lurking for a while now, and quite frankly, I'm glad I did because now my first comment can be in The Golden Era. Great vibe to this episode, you are definitely hitting a stride.

[@BrianStalter]

This is an episode I've been waiting for. I'm more creative than business....

[@peterkohne3086]

Quality content, Gary. This is golden.

[@astronaut911]

Gary, Thanks for all the killer content. You are really on a roll with the AGV show!!!!

[@getsopitted]

Saw you keynote speak in Ohio in October of 2013 at vemma's convention. I have to say, the cursing was definitely present.. The first thing you asked was "How many of you dont know who i am?" 99% of the hands went up and you're response was "F*ck". That was when i knew i was a fan and followed up with you on youtube and social media. ( also you really delivered that day ) Keep up all the hard work, we appreaciate it !

[@FuegoPazzo]

Yep, the cursing (at people) did dampen my enthusiasm, particularly as a Brit. But after awhile I got a better understanding and so couple of years later I'm still here. The value I'm getting prompted me to buy one of your books and I'm eyeing up one of the others. Yes, I know I'm commenting on an old post but I'm working thru them sequentially, cos I didn't watch them all first go round. If your new here, please watch a few dozen episodes and I know you'll get a ton of useful and free info... then pay it back :)

[@NicoleHuskaConsulting]

#QOTD no lawyers in the family. In highschool I deeply aspired to be a lawyer. Went the university route, graduated ruddlerless then found myself loving the entrepreneurial hustle. #gofigure #lifegoals

[@Royzoner]

Really great format for questions and answers

[@WatchME_DIY]

After seeing this episode in an office I'd like to see one from your office. Not only because I'm curious but I feel it would add a positive dynamic to the show.

[@NateNorris]

“Thank you economy” still rings true. Just finished the ebook 2 weeks ago. “When is the last time you did something ‘wow’ for an existing client?”

[@FlamencoACompas]

Awesome show. They keep getting better and better!

[@levakatz]

tochno!!! when you sneezed, i decided for my self that you agreed ON what what i was thinking ... and that i should definitely realize that ASAP

[@lukekowa]

Qoute of the Show "i don't get star struck because i think i'm better than everybody" Competence = confidence

[@YvonneSing]

"Confidence for dayzzz" needs to be the next T-shirt. ;-)

[@DamionHamilton1277]

I heard you on Altucher and thought you were too much. But I found on KZbin and can't enough. You are brilliant!

[@callumrobinson9324]

Yeah I started watching your videos and brought your book. Then turned off for a little while and now I have been watching for the past 8 months

[@kaylieklitzing431]

I absolutely love your energy!

[@davidwade530]

My dad is a lawyer. Though your 120-129 thing is half a joke, it is proving true so far. To your answer on haters and fans, when I was watching, one friend walked up to me and said "Damn, this guy is a genuis" and a couple minutes later another friend walked up to me and said "This guy seems like a douche-bag." 😂 Love the show. Sorry I haven't commented before.

[@BrianNangle55]

I was totally one of those who got rubbed by the bravado the wrong way. But that changed quickly once I dug a little deeper.

[@bdc9165]

Keep doing these shows. I started watching a week or so ago.

[@caleykenny]

I'm relieved when you curse because I know you're on point. Also, you better believe you're the best at what you do, because why would I listen to you if you thought you were mediocre?

[@Saeroye]

Hi Gary, I am a new fan from London! i discovered your channel and who you are YESTERDAY! I saw you from the video influencer interview you did. My first impression of you was that you one of the most authentic guy and I can not believe that I never came across your work or content! You're mindset, attitude and approach to life is infectious and exactly the type pf person we should be surrounded by in life! I binged on your videos, talks, Tai Lopez interview and I'm addicted! I love LOVE everything on the show and i am going to be here every day. I want to learn and grow. I got so much value and love the community interactions on the Gary V show. in one day, ONE DAY.You are an awesome person and there should me more people like you around trying to help the youth to make it in business etc. You mentioned you have an office in London, i want to get work experience can i work for free? is that possible to contact your company? I have no experience, never worked in an office but i am an artist who has been working for free taking photos of models but i want to get skills and get into to mix media and digital marketing. Thank you for everything!

[@phliip7362]

I'm a big fan of episodes 120 - 129... I mean... this is a tremendous era of the #AskGaryVee Show... If only I could somehow get a piece of it and share it with the world... perhaps by an item of brightly coloured apparel that I will proudly wear... a T - Shirt maybee....

[@sennett24]

Another amazing vid. Im doing catchup on my saturday :) as for your question.... My grandfather was an attorney and my father is an attorney who has personally represented over 50,000 people in Los Angeles. I can unarguably say that he has done more hearings and represented more people than any attorney on earth. My brother is a DUI attorney. Thanks for the content.

Gary Vaynerchuk is the Howard Stern of marketing!

[@ErikaBardere]

QOTD: My cousin Amber just passed her BAR (1st try) in Nov 2017, so I got to ask her how she likes it earlier this week. Pretty cool to see a family member I've looked up to as a child go after her dream & crush it ♡ Esp cuz I have zero patience to study laws

[@yumyumlogan]

holly shit dude your amazing ive been watching for awhile but man your answers are showing how fast your mind works true genius. thanks gary vee

[@tommohr6625]

Gary, you were definitely off putting the first time I saw you. Saw the USC episode and everyone changed. Loved it and been sharing a lot since then. Have to warn people about the language though... Haha.

[@KevONeil]

Golden show! Scotland needs you. Oh and we have peas!

[@IsamAziz]

No lawyers in the family but we have doctors in Kentucky, Ohio, Florida and Louisiana.. Software development and healthcare is covered here in Nashville also.

Im so inspired! luv it!

It is hard living in New England with all the Patriot fans!!! Yes I am a native New Englander, but I was raised by New Yorkers!

[@PatrickAllenNL]

Yes I do notice myself thinking 'wouw this guy is really high on his own farts' but I can relate to 'liking the climb' and talking to haters... The attitude is a first line of defence. And you really love yourself now I am also a guy that loves himself.. That seems rare... most people don't ever get past insecurities. I like these videos!

[@s2digitalmedia258]

Hey Gary Vee! I’ve been pouring your content in my brain for the last couple months in every way I can. I’m driving my kid to school and listening to this episode & I had to comment here bc you mentioned here (16:17) about ppl not liking you bc of your ego and language. I instantly thought of my wife bc she isn’t a fan since I showed her episode 2 of #TrashTalk (lovin that hustle btw, can’t wait for the next episode!). Anywho, just wanted to give a shoutout to ya my man. Love what ur doin✊✊✊

[@Probanot]

Great show! more of it please!!

[@kobalet]

Awesome show! I'm very excited because I finally caught up! thank you =)

[@euanboy15]

I got confidence for dayzzz!

[@MattKennedyongoogle]

No Lawyers in the fam, but loving the show dude! I definitely agree with the russian tradition you mentioned because your thought about being the most authentic you so you don't regret not being that is SO TRUE! #lurkernomore

[@anpe6524]

2:22 what a super CUTE smile.

[@ThraceFulton]

***** the cursing early on in interactions with you simply put you on my "worth a closer look" radar. That is probably only the case because I'm not offended by cursing (I do it freely), but I think for me the cursing was a factor in deeper engagement. It made the show and your talks feel more inclusive. #QOTD no lawyers in my family, that I'm aware of.

[@yakoiencore]

I just finished law school and will start working in a month's time. My parents are also lawyers

[@edthemercenary]

time is valuable do what you want the market will decide

[@ifbb03]

I like the last 2 min where you pull out the lawyer book lol episode 123 had some great questions about entrepreneurship

[@JimmyRooney]

Another very good show Gary! I am straight up guilty of being a lurker for 122 episodes. My apologies. But I have turned a lot of people onto what you do :)

[@chaly23]

i guess you are a genius converting bravado into knowledge or some kind of teaching that people like me understanding it that way and not the way that tends to think you believe that you are the shit or the latest coke on the desert....I have so much to learn from you....being humble, accept myself as I am, and be good in my shoes...and thankful....Gary bless man...

[@BridgetMWillard]

I had a hard time with the F-bombs. But if I watch movies with it, I can watch this.

[@AlliantPowerMktg]

Here's the real #QOTD *****, Is the cover of The Thank You Economy orange or green? Every time DRock went to black & white, the cover was green. Subliminal messages sent. The color of money. I like it. Great episode as always.

beginning made me smile shooooooooow

[@mokai1618]

One minute into the shoooow and I already love it!... haha... keep up the great work Gary. :)

[@BLKCITYCOFFEEROASTERS]

that's me. Thank you for this

[@Garywinchester]

Honestly when I first heard you I thought you were egotistical and not professional. Fist thoughts because of the language and how you presented. That was then and now I watch your shows, keynotes, read your tweets and actually look up to you. This changed for me because I was speaking at a workshop for a local chamber of commerce. At the end of the workshop a business man came up to me and said I was cocky, egotistical and extremely unprofessional. I was so mad, not at what he said, because he judged me without actually knowing me. I immediately remembered how I judged you, along with several other speakers and presenters. That day I watched several of your keynotes and realized that what you were saying was extremely valuable so I became a fan. I know this is a long comment but I had to explain. Thanks for the valuable content *****

[@legohunter7570]

was drawn to you day one directly due to the cursing and mannerisms - no bullshit - not selling - just telling it like it is.

[@WillsThoughts]

Thanks Gary

[@CAVulliamy]

I'm surprised to hear that people initially reacted against what they perceived to be bravado/ego on stage. I'm not sure why, but despite all the awesome content over many shows, pro-hustle wisdom and business advice, my favourite piece is still the first one I saw, where you implored people to Stop Doing Sh!t they Hate [was on stage, wearing a brown tshirt], back in the post Crush It era. Messages _need_ to hit hard to be effective, and that message hit very hard - perhaps those early haters didn't like where that message led their introspection and reacted by criticising the messenger instead of working to fix their own lives.

[@LotusBKaleidoscope]

Thank you Gary...Your classes have been awesome this morning..lol.. As an visual artist trying to sell it is hard to both create and market when marketing in not in your lane. I am an artist ... let me be an artist. How do you find the marketer for your product/brand?

[@SwarleySheenRecordsIncarnate]

Episode 34 led me here.... DAMN!
