Gary welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me.

So first question I have, how are you planning on buying

the New York jets? How far off are you?

You know, I think I plan on it by building two meaningful, maybe three meaningful

businesses that I own more so than let's say starting a fund or investing and so the two big ones in my universe are

Vainer X the holding company that holds Vainer Media and the other several

marketing companies in that and then V-friends the intellectual property company that I started as an

NFT project.

And I feel like what I've always planned on with VainerX

and Vainer Media was to build a private equity firm on top of that.

So I've always thought about my mission in marketing

when I started the company 14 years ago was if I built the best contemporary

marketing, I thought in Star Wars terms,

if I built the best marketing death star in the world, meaning and I used the death star, you know, if you're a Star Wars nerd, if it pointed its powers against a planet, it could blow up a planet.

So if I could build the best marketing death star. against a planet, it could blow up a planet.

So if I could build the best marketing death star

and whether I pointed it towards a bottled water

or a political campaign or a nonprofit, you know, whatever I pointed it to if it always did remarkable, better

than any other way that it could have done that.

Well that would be the ultimate leverage in the business world.
