| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, it's Gary Vay, Nerd Chuck, and this is the GaryVee Audio Experience. |
| 0:12.0 | Guys, let's be honest, I made this because you're actually sitting at your job right now, |
| 0:15.4 | but you're strategizing your next step. So while they think you're listening to Kanye, |
| 0:19.8 | you are taking the next move. So I'm in the cubicle at a marketing manager for Crest Toothpaste, |
| 0:26.2 | and I'm like sick of it. And I want to break out. In, you know, incomes are going down. I'm |
| 0:32.4 | worried about my job, I'm outsourcing everything to China. What should I start to do? |
| 0:37.3 | The first thing you should do is you shouldn't have fucking watched House of Cards this entire |
| 0:42.5 | fucking Saturday. That's the first thing you should do. Okay. If you complain, and by the way, |

| 1:31.7 | job at Crest. Yeah. Johnny Crest, he eliminates House of Cards, eliminates a softball game. He's |
| 1:38.2 | ready to go. What's next? Self-awareness. I believe that self-awareness is the single best number one |
| 1:46.8 | attribute anyone could ever be gifted with. Better than being good looking, better than being |
| 1:52.3 | super smart self-awareness. I'm very comfortable in admitting that I don't know the science behind |
| 1:58.8 | self-awareness. I don't know the anthropology or psychology around it. I don't know how it's taught. |
| 2:03.5 | I just know it's the thing. And then you do the assessment and you take the data and you finally |
