Summary
In this classic Earn Your Leisure sit-down, we chop it up with the legend himself, Gary Vee. From NFTs to AI, sports, and the future of social media, Gary doesn’t hold back. He breaks down why he’s still bullish on NFTs, the real challenges with branding in the space, and how trading cards and nerd culture are redefining mainstream culture. He even shares how his VeeFriends project became a blueprint for creators everywhere.
We also dive deep into the impact of artificial intelligence—the opportunities, the risks, and why Gary believes spending at least one hour a day on AI is the cheat code for the future. He talks about blockchain’s role in protecting society from deepfakes, the rise of VR/AR, and whether AI could push us into another “dark age.” Gary also opens up about entrepreneurship, accountability, and why most people don’t love the game enough to win.
On top of that, Gary gives his take on live social shopping, influencer culture, and new ways to make money online. He talks about being underestimated, the pain that comes with growth, and why he’s infatuated with Africa’s future. This is a conversation full of gems for entrepreneurs, investors, and dreamers who want to see around the corner. Don’t miss it—this one’s a masterclass in business, culture, and technology.
