This is the GaryVee audio experience.

I knew since I was eight I was going to be a businessman.

And so, you know, I'm 49 now.

Like back then there was no thought of like people knowing who you are.

Maybe in the business I was going to be in a little bit.

So, and then by the time it started happening for me,

I was in my mid-30s, I was grown.

It still feels incredibly nice.

And I also know like why people like my stuff, and I feel like it's for good reasons.

It's not because like I can hit a home run or I'm the most attractive man on earth.

Like, it's because of like something pretty good.

I always like when people say thank you instead of, like, oh, I've always wanted to meet you, or, you know, that to me is like, okay, we helped you out, not that it's about me that much. I'm really excited the moment you're in. I know these moments subbursts are always, like like super fun, so congrats.

Thanks.

Well, you do a good job, it sounds like, of recognizing them. I was joking with the team when we hit the New York Times bestseller. I was like, huh, I don't know if I feel anything right now. That's so weird. You know, I thought I would feel something. I wish my brother was here, he'd be laughing. he says the single greatest flaw I have is the inability to smell roses. I'm macro grateful, but I don't really make those kind of goals,

nor do I think like much of them either.

Yeah, I think I'm the same.

I was curious though, because this is one of the ones where- I think that that might be somebody who then ends up liking the process. I feel like that means we probably are both similar in the fact that we like the process. Like I like the game more than the trophy that comes from the game. Totally, I like the game. I don't think I could stop. Like I don't, when people are like, well, is it enough or why do you talk online?

Why don't you, you know, shut up and be rich and be quiet?

I'm always like, well, that doesn't sound that fun. Like, what do you do after a while? I wish I had a hobby. I don't have any fucking hobbies, so that would be helpful. that don't have hobbies are the big winners in life

in some ways. I mean, look, you could be passionate

about your career and have like a couple great hobbies

and I think that's like the really awesome,
