Summary

In this episode of Tea with GaryVee 97, I talk about why so many people focus on what’s going wrong instead of being grateful for what’s going well. We get into the truth about how most of us aren’t great at most things — and why that’s normal — the future of the 9-5, and why a 4-day work week might actually make people more broke, not less. If you feel stuck, unmotivated, or confused about where work is heading, this episode gives the perspective shift you need.
