Hey guys, it's Gary Vay, Nerd Chuck, and this is the GaryVee audio experience.

Well, hello everybody. Welcome to the brawl and haul five. I'm gonna try to keep it under control up here

I'm Susie Welch on my right is Jack Welch and on my left GaryVee these are two guys who need no introduction whatsoever

So I think I'll just plunge in we are asking you to

Send us your questions also you can see the information up there ask real CEOs. I think is the hashtag

So let's just start right off with sort of a brief if you would guys state of the union, right?

It's it's 2015 and the people who are in this audience are

interested in starting businesses getting funding higher and great people crushing the competition

Yeah, you were sitting especially crushing the competition if you were sitting in a bar

As you were want to do with any of the people in this audience

What would you tell them really really excites you about the future and what is scary in the living day lights out of you?

Gary you're up. Well, I was good. I was being polite here

nothing scares me

and

As far as what excites me is that clearly the internet's promise over the last 20 years is

Squeezing out the middle of anybody who doesn't bring value to me what I feel is happening and that we're also lucky to be living through right now is

It feels like there's more meritocracy, right? If you've got the chops. There isn't an editor

There isn't a decision maker. There isn't somebody who's stopping you because the platform the internet allows people to

Really go direct to consumer. There's no more man. There's no more machine

Yeah, you know, especially man, right? Like I hate

Man, right? Yeah, and you're saying you really believe there's no more machine. There's so nothing scares you

Yeah, I mean look I'm an optimist. I mean plenty of Vladimir Putin scares me
