Summary

I’m getting deep on this one—this is a raw and reflective talk I gave recently, and it goes way beyond business. I touch on what it means to simplify your life, how gratitude and guilt have driven my success, and why judgment is the killer of potential.

We also talk about:

The massive shift coming when glasses replace phones
Why the scariest thing isn’t failure—it’s regret
Parenting, personal growth, and how fear shaped me as a kid
How humility is the secret weapon for speed and success
And why materialism might be destroying your happiness

This episode is real. It's emotional. It's about business, yes—but it's even more about you. If you’re stuck, if you’re overwhelmed, if you’re scared to post or take the leap… this one’s for you.

0:04.5	episode is from a private talk that Gary recently gave to a small group of employees. This one's
0:09.0	got everything, philosophy, marketing strategy, personal storytelling, and most of all, a message
0:14.9	that hits home about regret, judgment, and what really matters. If you're a parent, a manager,
0:19.7	or just trying to grow, this is a powerful listen.

0:28.6	Q&A would be great.
0:30.2	I think the first topic I would like to talk about is this is a mix professionally and personally yesterday at dinner and you
0:39.9	brought it up in the circle I really genuinely do believe 99% of things don't
0:45.0	mean anything and I really believe that that's the fundamental difference
0:51.0	between somebody that builds something meaningful versus not.
0:54.8	You know, we talked a lot about time.
0:56.6	I know the 15 minute meeting thing got brought up,
0:58.5	but like ultimately like if you're spending your time on things that don't matter,
1:03.2	that's a problem.
1:05.0	And I think I'm going to take it this morning more from a place of life before business.
1:10.1	I really think from a parenting lens or from,
1:13.5	you know, if you're fortunate enough to still have a parent or both parents, I think people just
1:18.7	aren't thoughtful with, you know, what they do. And more importantly, it's not even about
1:26.4	like getting meaningful time with your parents while they're still alive or your kids before they go to school. I actually think about it more from the lens of like your personal selfish day-to-day happiness. I think that we have an incredible capacity to be worried about dumb shit. I've most watched it in what goes on in society
1:47.3	about how people dwell on whatever the fear
