Summary
Today's episode is another GaryVee TV Classic, an interview from "Tea with GaryVee". "Talking to the audience" when building your personal brand is not a skill that comes naturally to everyone. If speaking directly to the camera feels awkward to you, then don't do it! You should play to your strengths. If you work better with another person to bounce ideas off of and have a conversation with, try that instead! Try a live stream where you can directly talk to your community instead if a video where you "pretend" like you are. There are plenty of other ways to make content and you need to explore which you are most comfortable with.

| 0:03.3 | Today's episode is a classic T with GaryVee interview, where Gary goes over how to get over |
| 0:08.0 | insecurity when showing yourself on camera, when building your personal brand. |
| 0:11.8 | This is the GaryVee Audio Experience. |
| 0:17.0 | I mean, my wife left our corporate lives and sold all the shit we didn't need and moved |
| 0:22.0 | out to the middle of nowhere. Just trying to document the journey on YouTube and |
| 0:25.5 | and how do you be yourself or how do I be my nerdy ass self in front of the camera because when |
| 0:34.4 | I'm solo with it, like I just clam up. I understand. So Chris, I think it comes down to taking a big |
| 0:43.2 | step back and really, really, really thinking about the following. Why in the world, especially when |
| 0:50.0 | you have such a fucking epic red beard, why in the world would you ever, ever, ever let somebody's |
| 0:56.4 | anonymous opinion stop you from telling your truth. Literally right before you came on right now, |
| 1:03.2 | and I think you probably heard it. I asked a question of how many of you went first saw me, |
| 1:06.5 | thought I was bullshit, fuck this guy. I just while you were talking and I was admiring your |
| 1:11.3 | background, I saw an on godly amount of people say me. You can imagine as a human, that doesn't |
| 1:17.8 | feel great. It's just that I've conditioned myself at this point to be empathetic to other people's |
| 1:24.4 | opinions because they don't know me. Same with you brother, you could be nerdy because it doesn't |
| 1:29.4 | matter if people think you're nerdy or boring or not boring. You just gotta keep persevering. |
| 1:35.6 | You're gonna find your crew. You're gonna find your crew. Right, right. A lot of people ask |
| 1:41.6 | you, you know, what's so much that because that I mean, there's probably what 10,000 people |
| 1:46.0 | watching this right now and I can talk to you and can junk to coherent sentence, but when I'm solo |
| 1:51.7 | with the camera, like my brain just goes to mush and I can't organize my thoughts. I got an idea. |
