This is the Gary Vee Audio Experience.

I think the thing that I would like a lot of you to know is that

in building a large business or in building something substantial,

I do not believe that you have to compromise your humanity.

I do not believe that sharp elbows are the only way to win in business.

I wish more people knew that the foundation of sustained economic success is actually by caring about others,

not trying to extract every penny out of every deal,

leaving something on the table for the other side,

building an internal culture that leads to so much retention

within your organization that you were able to go faster

and harder than your competitors because you

have so much trust amongst yourselves. And so when I think about my past, what's very clear

to me is that the way my mother mothered me to be a good human being

is disproportionately the reason I've had substantial financial success.

You know, I think that unfortunately people really believe

that business is dirty and you have to kill the other guy

and all this and listen, I love competition.

I believe in merit.

I believe in those things. But I, yeah, I just, it's very clear to me that if you're running a marathon and you're

trying to do something significant and for the long term, the better you do it from a humanity standpoint, the more likely it will happen.

Did you have people that you're going to look to, obviously your mom's a huge influence.

Did you have people in the business that you booked to when you're like, that's not going to do it?
