Summary
Really loved this interview I did a little while back - talking really heavy into how I split my time between work and family, and what that dynamic looks like (also why I believe nobody else should be able to judge anyone's work/life choices), the importance of managing expectations of employees and developing a positive culture and whether or not I set goals for myself :)

| 0:00.0 | Hey podcast, it's me Gary. Thank you so much for listening to the podcast. I've been blown away by the |
| 0:06.2 | explosion of the podcast this year. And speaking about this year, this is the year that my empathy wine comes out. |
| 0:12.7 | Empathywines.com is the website. Empathywines with an S.com is the website. If you've enjoyed this free podcast and it's |
| 0:22.2 | brought you any value whatsoever, it would mean so, so much to me that at least you could go there and sign up for a |
| 0:28.2 | three bottle subscription or if you're really into wine and you drink 36 bottles of wine a year, I highly recommend that you sign up for |
| 0:36.3 | Club Empathy, which gives you a case of the rosé, the white and the red. And by the way, I hear it all timely. Well, what if I don't drink red or |
| 0:42.6 | what if I only like rosé, you can give away the bottles because what comes along with a club empathy subscription is the fact that for |
| 0:49.6 | 720 bucks, which is what gets you the three cases of wine, you also get an SMS Somalye, which means that there is a text number that you |
| 0:57.9 | can text anytime, a cell number that you can text anytime. If you're going to nap on, want us to set up the trip for you, if you need a |
| 1:04.6 | bottle of wine for your boss, like literally a white glove butler service of all your wine needs. If you sign up for Club Empathy, empathywines.com, buy it or I'll die. |
| 1:18.6 | This is the Gary V. Audio Experience. |
| 1:28.2 | In this episode, Gary talks to Nathan Chan of Founder about how he manages his time between work and family, whether he sets goals for himself and managing the expectations of employees at VaynerMedia. |
| 1:46.0 | I'm going to ask you the same question I ask every single one of the guests that come in a shower. How did you get your job? |
| 1:54.7 | Well, my job came to me, you know, depends on how you define my job. I mean, my current job is predicated on my prior career, but my first job ever was working for my dad's liquor store as a stockboy. |
| 2:07.8 | And so I have the fortune aspect of being in a family business. I really think the true answer to your question is most people know me that listen to this or as most people discover me from this and get to know me. |
| 2:19.8 | The answer is probably by starting a wine show on YouTube within the first year that YouTube came out called Wine Library TV, which brought me into the Web 2.0 world and brought me exposure and started the journey of having awareness with people about my thoughts and things that I did that have really created the infrastructure for the content I put out to the world. |
| 2:43.3 | When I go, you know, I've been running founder for about two and a half years and I remember watching this video. I never heard of you in the first video I ever watched was with that I saw with you. |
| 2:53.7 | You said something that was really, really striking to me is you looked at the camera and you said the reason I am speaking to you and you're looking at the camera saying the reason I am speaking to you is because I've worked harder than you. |
| 3:06.2 | And you've just got this ridiculous mentality around hustle and drive and I really want to tap into that and find like where did that come from man. |
| 3:19.0 | I think so thank you and I pulled that move once or twice on camera so and it's a good one right because it strikes so deep and I'll tell you why Nathan you know doing what you do you come across a lot of experts, |
| 3:34.1 | do ruse thought leaders you probably at this point I'm giving you a compliment I could be wrong but I'm asking you I'm short some level you feel pretty good about your radar of who's completely full of shit who's got some level of chops and who's got more chops right I assume that's something you probably pride yourself in yeah yeah for sure. |
| 3:53.2 | And the reason I asked that and we don't know each other that well so the reason I actually just said that was not to give myself a pat on the back and say oh and then you think I do it's actually because you clearly resonated. |
