Summary

I’m fired up in this episode of Tea with GaryVee. We cover everything from TikTok regret to balancing business and personal life, and—spoiler alert—balance is a myth. A caller shares her journey of blowing up on TikTok in 2019, getting spooked by The Social Dilemma, and then deleting everything—only to return years later, realizing it was never "too late." We also dive into the fear of shifting business focus, whether it's leaving a steady income source for a new passion or dealing with negative feedback when breaking cultural norms.

We talk about: 🚀 Why you should never let fear dictate your decisions
🎨 Monetizing creative work through TikTok Live and social media
📈 Why it's okay to have setbacks (and how to bounce back fast)
💡 How to embrace and test new opportunities without overthinking

This is an episode about perspective—because your mindset determines everything. If you're stuck, overwhelmed, or doubting yourself, this is for you.
