This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

Hey podcast, sorry about my voice, little dissembre weather action I guess.

It is 7 a.m. on a Thursday here in December late December.

I'm in Heathrow Airport and I felt compelled to make a podcast entry,

an original podcast entry, big shout out to everybody who's listening to the podcast.

And I wanted to share a thought on some confusion in the system in my opinion around,

you know, the opinions I share, the opinions other share,

a little bit of a debate back and forth around hard work and hustle and things of that nature.

I'm surprised how many people, especially in today's world,

were there's so much obvious real bad stuff going on that a lot of people are trying to demonize hustle and hard work.

And I have a lot of empathy, people that are doing that are people that I respect.

And I think, you know,

Shokhar Shrokhadaf Mery is a kind of Russian thing I heard from my relatives all the time,

which basically translates into everything that it's best when it's at balance, when it's in balance, right?

And so I grew with that.

But I also think that the thing that I want to clear up on this podcast for everybody who's listening is,

I think that I can understand that the things I share are one man's point of view on things that work for me,

things that I'm seeing my true sense to the world,

two cents that I don't think have any more value than your true sense or anybody else's.

Obviously, I'd be lying if I didn't say that the results of happiness and business building,

and opportunity building, and friendship building, and impact building over the last 20 years,

makes me feel good about my points of view.
