This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

You've talked about the fact that you are a hugely successful businessman.

It's not just the motivational things that you are known for, Gary.

With that in mind, I wonder, what are the kind of three most commonly asked questions

of, you know, from us, the media, but from people looking for a bit of time from Gary V.

The biggest thing I get is definitely how you deal with judgment.

It comes in a million different forms, but everyone is looking for so much outside validation

that they're incredibly vulnerable, whether you're looking for outside validation

on how you appear, looks, how you succeed in school, how you succeed in how much money you make,

how many followers you have, how many likes you have.

People are incredibly stuck in high school their whole life.

And it's really unfortunate that I got incredibly well-parented.

And so for me, back to your question earlier, it's been very easy for me to be in my cocoon.

I never looked for popularity.

I never looked for outside validation.

My validation came in my process.

And then I would let the chips fall where they may.

Whether I was successful or not, I've had many business ventures not work well,

which is okay, because they're my failures, not other people.

But number one, no question is how do I deal with judgment.

I think number two, a lot of people are curious on how to find their passion or their happy place.

I speak a lot about being content.
