Hey everyone, welcome back to the Gary V. Audio Experience.

Today's episode is a segment from an interview Gary did with No Bullcon,

where he gives some crucial advice to all the entrepreneurs out there.

We hope you enjoy.

This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

What is one thing you think a lot of entrepreneurs or leaders need to hear,

you know, gut checks that they need to hear in order to be successful over the next decade?

That if you're looking for outside validation based on your net worth,

your blue check mark, or how many followers you have, you're ultimately vulnerable for the

game that we're actually playing, which is do you enjoy your life?

And you need to really look at that because it really plays out.

It is only sustainable for so long to play an optics game for other people to think

you're successful. It is the number one thing entrepreneurs need to hear.

I reference this a lot. I know a lot of people here because I see some faces are close to my

content. I reference a very obscure part of the cinematic classic Rocky IV.

And in Rocky IV, which is the one where he fights Drago, the Russian, the Russian,

at the end talks about this thing. They fight Rocky wins, the crowd, you know,

and Drago grabs the mic and he goes, look, all of you in this Russian crowd, you thought it was

Russian versus America in this ring. I was fighting for myself in here. Fuck you.

And that's how I think about my business. I'm so appreciative of the love, the admiration,

but my inability to hear that is why I'm able to deal with the negative pushback that I'm

at this, that I'm at that. And it makes it very quiet for me. And then I get to play my game.
