This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

Big shout out to everybody in the fucking back.

The best part about doing that is it takes like two minutes for the sound to get up here.

Super excited to be here. Thank you so much.

Lots of cover this afternoon looking forward to the Q&A that we have.

But really just wanted to start with a couple of key pillars.

Really around the opportunity at hand.

For me the thing that's really in my mind constantly over the last three to four months

is that literally everything that's about to come out of my mouth,

the biggest religions that I have around business and then being a human,

just literally everything that I believe wasn't possible for our grandparents.

This internet thing and we'll get into social and tactics and a million other things.

But this internet thing is fucking enormous.

It's much bigger than everybody in this conference hall realizes including the guy that's delivering this speech right now.

And the truth is it's in a sweet spot.

If you look at real estate, if you look at the printing press,

if you look at the invention of television or when people explore new territories, countries, opportunities,

those moments are really interesting because they all take very different timelines.

And you've got people who get a lot of upside in the very beginning but there's a lot of casualties.

I mean like literally discovering a new land, literally landing on a new land,

there's people that have to taste weird berries and some of those fuckers die because they're poisonous.

And so there's risk in the beginning.
