This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

There's so many different things to talk about today, but what I really want to focus on

is really the two extremes.

The more I spend time in the business world in life in general, the more I realize that the

anything or any product in a more honest place from where I play.

I am a complete byproduct of somebody who lives in the clouds and plays in the dirt.

And in the analogy I started this with, which is the middle sucks, I genuinely watch people play in the middle.
