Hey Josh, nice to see you. I watch your videos sometimes and enjoy your content (thanks). I've seen a lot of videos like the above show up in the last 24 hours. I assume they're all scams, you have any more info? I've reported this video and several like it a few times today. The BTC address with "send us BTC and we will send double right back" giveaway... yeah right. I don't believe it for a second, let alone that this video is actually a livestream with Woz. Was surprised to come across you here, any further insight to this video (and the ones like it which have suddenly popped up)?

The whole point of Gary's personal branding is to create a buzz around his company. That buzz gets him 2 main advantages: 1. the good young workers agree to work for less money, they value the fact that they work for VaynerMedia more than earning more money somewhere else. 2. many companies wanna be clients of such a hyped up media brand. Gary said a few times that he doesn't care if someone leaves, because there'll always be a new intern thinking that being an Vayner employee is the purpose of her/his life.

These people sent emails for meetings constantly - to keep "us" productive. Dude! I can't waste an hour, just sitting in your meeting. I did not need them. Companies like this slow me down. I was a web / graphic artist / video editor - so I had to show stuff ( for revisions, updates ) at the end of the day. My job description was not soft skilled based or people organization based. If a company reads this. Please, STOP hiring people to manage people - who don't need managing. It pisses us off when someone who has no idea of what we do - trying to suggest how we do stuff.

[@alanbejarano4940]

If a company reads your comment, please IGNORE this guy opinion. There is an absolute need for managing people. Corporations are not full of competent/developed people, there needs to be a system where all employees are evaluated and developed, and that requires other expert people to manage that system. While I agree the intent of this video (mocking Gary Vaynerchuk) and his "credentials" to coach corporations, these programs are not a waste of time. But that is something an average KZbin 20 something guy is not able explain.

I am saying too many non-creatives managing the actual creative force. If you don't create anything but paperwork, please chill with the meetings dude! I had 4 managers each one with equal authority at one job. Crazy.

Gary started the whole "hustle until you drop dead" phenomena. That resonated a lot with me when I was younger. I somehow thought that if you sit in front of the computer long enough, money would start piling up.

[@KobyMoon]

It's so funny man. Naturally humans tend to think there is only one way of achieving something in life. The guys that start large corporations had to sacrifice everything and bust their ass to get it off the floor and tell everyone that this is the only route, or to "eat shit" as Gary would say. That doesn't mean every business model is like that. For example, I do eCommerce. Currently I am doing about $10k - $20k a month PROFIT. The store that is producing this took me max 10 hours of work. Now I just have to casually open up my Facebook ads manager twice a day and adjust some things for about 5-10 minutes. It took me $700 to start this store and start seeing profits. For me to scale this to $100k a month I essentially just spend more money on Facebook ads and improve some things on the back-end. It is 2020. Time to work smart, not hard.

[@jeremyleonbarlow]

@@SL2797 As an attorney and a NY licensed attorney at that, Montana has more onerous regulations than NY. The tax rate is quite competitive with most states too. NY on the other hand has $15k per annum greater per capita GDP than even California and much greater than any other state though. $95k per annum per capita is the GDP in NY. The regulatory environment in NY is quite favorable to most companies. Why NY has higher GDP though is the fact that the state has the highest union participation rate in the nation at north of 22%. NY has very few licensing requirements for most businesses outside of a handful of regulated professions and health department licenses for food service and food sales which most states have. NY's state run workers compensation insurance plan is one of the cheapest in the nation and it's paid family and medical leave act is paid for entirely by worker's with a small payroll tax on their wages that does not fall on employers, it's less than a 1% tax on wages and salary. Whenever people complain about "regulations" I usually have to laugh because lack of basic safety regulations as is often the case in states like Texas generally lead to things like factories blowing up which is typically far more costly than spending $0.30 for the better safety relief valve. The reason the cost of living is so high in Downstate NY and the City is simple. It is responsible for more productivity than most US states all by itself and working there and living there requires vertical construction which is costly to build and maintain. 20 floors of steel I-Beams, Concrete and glass costs more than some 2x6s and plywood in an area where there are 25 people per square mile. Southern California and the San Francisco Bay area don't have the same vertical construction challenge, but they do have the same space limitations with proximity to high paying jobs. I mean a film or TV editor earning $3k a week in LA or a coder earning $3k a week in the Bay area is a common job in those places. In Manhattan a common job is an analyst at a hedge fund or investment bank earning $1 million a year or more. These areas are more expensive because people WANT to live there and there are good paying jobs there so housing costs are competitive.

Employer/employee relationships are adversarial by nature no matter how many "chief heart officers" you have.

Conversely you want to be paid as much as possible, but companies dont have their own literal infinite money printers, so as close to the upper limit of market value as possible.

I agree! I thought this was fair and I like how Joshua even went so far as to show Gary's admission that his company has cheesy gimmicks at the end. But Vaynerchuck's little rant in the car seemed like bs. I mean what gets me is the 32K figure....I live in tiny apartment in manhattan and 32k is less than my annual rent. Gary's probably up against a lot of dollar's and cents and issues and he honestly seems embarrassed that he doesn't practice what he preaches. Maybe he could get a better deal by leasing a cheaper office up in Englewood Cliffs, NJ....just a thought! haha Foreal though....Hudson Yards is PRICEY.

Any smart business owner would understand that you gotta go if it means saving the business.I see a lot of young people in this video. People who don't understand yet how the real world works.

YOU must not allow companies to rip you off by accepting wages that wouldn't allow one to properly live, as that same person (in this video Gary V) pays low wages and is bragging about running a $100M company.

I don't have an emotional attachment to my toothpaste or toilet paper. Human behavior = we want a quality product that works. Human behavior = I buy essential toiletries for hygiene. Why the special title or degree for this? Also, DO NOT HUG me. Shrink to 36 inches? How about he get a smaller desk and see how he likes it?

Gary is amazing at marketing and motivational speeches... other than that I haven't gotten anything life changing from him... and you got these kids idolizing him like he's the greatest businessman ever. When he does a Q&A I've noticed that most of his answer is platitudes or mind games with the person asking a question telling them that they "already know what to do so why are you asking me? Just do it." And the things he talks about being the future of business isn't him being enlightened... he just read the right magazines. My personal (unpopular) opinion of him is that he's all brand/persona and not a whole lot of substance. But that's my opinion based on youtube videos I've watched here and there. When I take notes I don't have a lot of substance by the end... it's mostly platitudes and personal stories. Anything of value he does say isn't unique to him... you can easily find the same information from business and tech articles.
