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

Thank you guys so much for being a part of this. Obviously, I'm super excited about this program and

kind of obsessed about creating ROI around it. I think you got a lot of content coming your way after the fact, but

obviously, especially with the way we're marketing at this point, I think a lot of you, you know,

signed up for this kind of part of it, so I take that very seriously. So I think really it's

inconceivable for you to be here without you having a tremendous amount of context on me and my

spiel, so I'd much rather go completely Q&A with you, especially since I know the curriculum and

things of that nature and what to navigate and how to answer. So to be very frank, I'm thrilled to start that now.

I think that's what we should do, and so does anybody have any questions?

When you started out taking up your dad's company, do you feel that gave you an

advantage or a disadvantage in terms of how you were going to scale as you progressed?

In my career?

Yes.

I think it was a disadvantage.

It's always so funny when people try to rag on me and say, this guy wouldn't be successful if he's

dad, didn't have a liquor store. I always laugh because I view my career at wine library as my

give back to my family. You know, I used to cry like a child. My freshman and sophomore year of

college calling my mom telling her how how scared I was to go into the family business because I would

never get the credit that I deserved. And so funny to watch it play out.

And so, yeah, I just, you know, look, the real answer is it's the greatest thing I ever did.

Here's what would have happened. I would have went and flipped shit. Like I had no college, I had

an I just college degree, which means I had no college degree. I would have hustled, right?
