#QOTD: What's YOUR spirit animal?
#TIMESTAMPS
0:49 - If you’re not from an English speaking country, should you produce content in English to reach a higher number of people, or should you produce content in the native language of your country?
1:42 - Trader Joe’s has a cult like following with no social media presences. What are your thoughts?
2:34 - My little sister has Insta and Snapchat but has no interest in FB. What do you think the future holds for FB?
4:03 - Morale in public education is at an all time low right now. How do we create a Thank You Economy Culture despite government mandates, curriculum that isn't effective today, no funding and, most of all, high stress and pressure on teachers?
5:17 - Sprint is taking over the Radio Shack stores, but what is the relevance of Sprint? Is Sprint the new Radio Shack?
6:12 - Would love to hear more on HOW to hustle faster!
6:39 - Last year you nailed it when you recommended we use Medium. What are your recommendations for 2015?
7:19 - How would you market an industry that has negative connotations surrounding it, or one that people only use in emergencies? Like the towing industry for example.
8:23 - Girl Scouts cookies are onsale now. If you were a Girl Scout, how would you maximize your sales?
9:33 - How do you decide what to trust when it comes to news media bias vs fact reporting?
11:04 - How can a small, local non-medical in-home senior care agency incorporate the Thank You Economy into our business with our clients and their families?
12:13 - How do you see the world in 2018ish once the Apple Watch has probably become a vital part in everybody's lives?
13:31 - I use my GoPro for my Instagram on pics. Any tips on differentiating my content from other GoPro accounts?
13:49 - But seriously, though - why are you scared of cows?
14:06 - Some companies' timelines are nothing but apologies (i.e. Comcast). Should they take a break from Twitter to fix their product?
14:24 - Blackberry use to be socially hip. Could a new social media approach make a difference or is it too late?
14:36 - My family has always believed so much in me. Back in the days, were you more afraid of letting yourself down or your family?
15:32 - You get very personal when building your brand with the public. How personal is too personal? Where do you draw the line?
16:26 - I am wondering what you think of Direct Message on Instagram. Is it an untapped resource?
17:35 - How can I engage with an audience who has private interests, i.e., the hair loss replacement industry? They don’t tweet about it and they don’t post on Facebook about it!
20:12 - How would you respond if your wife decided to open up a business as direct competition to VaynerMedia or Wine Library?
20:55 - Why do you put so much emphasis into/on sports/the Jets?
21:49 - I spend 10-15 hours on image posts I make for my company on social media. They are hand drawn as well as computer drawn. I am getting way more 'likes' on my hand drawn lettering posts compared to these non-hand drawn ones. Lettering takes a long time to do, and I don't think I can create that many for daily social media content. What should I do?
23:29 - What's your spirit animal?

| 0:00.0 | On this episode I answer a shitload of questions. |
| 0:07.0 | You ask questions and I answer them. |
| 0:12.0 | This is the Ask Gary V. Show. |
| 0:23.0 | What's up everybody this is Gary Bay, nerd chock and this is episode 71 of the Ask Gary V. Show. |
| 0:29.0 | We decided since 71 is such a special number and you know such a significant number that we're going to have a very special show. |
| 0:36.0 | It's going to be called the rapid fire Ask Gary V. Show. |
| 0:41.0 | So India are you ready? This is going to be pretty intense. Do you rock you ready? Let's get into the show. |
| 0:49.0 | Tim asked if you're not from an English-speaking country, should you produce content in English anyways? Or should you produce content in your mother language? |
| 0:58.0 | Tim that's a great question with a very simple answer which is great because I'm answering a boatload of questions today. |
| 1:05.0 | The answer is you should be speaking in the language of the people you're trying to reach. |
| 1:09.0 | So if you're trying to reach the consumers in your native tongue, speak in your native tongue unless English is also the second language and is covering let's say 80-90% of the speakers because then you get the serendipity if it goes outside the boundaries. |
| 1:22.0 | But it always is reverse engineering the language of your client if you're trying to reach English-speaking consumers then you've got to speak in English. |
| 1:29.0 | And again if English is enough of a second language with a big enough broad stroke according to the overall market, that would be the reason the rational around English otherwise it's a native tongue game. |
| 1:43.0 | Tom Rally asked, Trader Joe's has a cult like following with no social media presence. What are your thoughts? |
| 1:51.0 | Tom I think Trader Joe's is leaving action on the table. You know by I don't know what I have to say. Clearly there are businesses great and I keep saying it marketing, great marketing doesn't solve a business problem but it can accelerate a business's enormous awesomeness. |
| 2:08.0 | I don't know if that can sound right but the bottom line is very simply Trader Joe's you may be thinking that you're doing it cool or that brand shouldn't engage if they're awesome and you're a great brand. |
| 2:18.0 | But I fundamentally believe they're leaving a lot of action on table. I love when people are like, yo Gary I don't need social media or good marketing. My business is up 23%. I'm like, what's wrong with 60%. |
| 2:30.0 | Like why can't your business be up 90% Joe? |
| 2:34.0 | Luke asks, my little sister has Instagram and Snapchat but has no interest in Facebook. What do you think the future holds for Facebook? |
| 2:43.0 | Luke I think Facebook has an issue about the growing population. I don't see your little sister and her little friends jumping from Snapchat and Insta into Facebook as they get older. No, Instant Snapchat will become more like Facebook but Facebook be in a place where it'll be able to keep its 35 to 70 year olds on its platform and not have them go down to Instant Snapchat. |
| 3:05.0 | Listen, Zucks is an assassin. There's a reason he bought Instagram. There's a reason he tried to pay three billion. Let me just remind the markets, Stunwin. Steve's not here often these days. Let's just show him. He's like all super VIP and never around anymore. |
| 3:18.0 | You know, he tried to buy Snapchat for three billion. So I think what the future holds for Facebook is if they keep crushing it and doing the things they're doing, which I think they're doing well and they hold on to their 30, 32, 35 and above crowd, it'll be an enormous business. |
