Summary

On this episode of Tea with GaryVee, We covered bunch of topics, from my big thesis on why fictional character cards are the next frontier in collecting to why you need to stop letting fear drain your energy and start being your own biggest fan.

I also get real about when it's time to finally pull the plug on an idea you've been working on for a decade. This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, insecure, or confused about their next move.

Check out these key moments from the episode:

01:52 My big thesis on why I'm collecting rare fictional character cards and why nerd culture is about to smash into the sports card world.04:47 A special conversation with Michael Chernow of Kreatures Of Habit on building a community and business relationships.14:12 My advice for women in entrepreneurship and why you should be happy when people who don't believe in you reveal themselves.22:46 For anyone who feels alone in a crowded room: You need to work on yourself and become your own biggest fan.28:17 A passionate call with a 23-year-old who thinks her dream is "draining." I explain why chasing your dream is what GIVES you energy, not takes it away.

35:15 My direct answer to a listener who's been failing at something for 10 years: It's time to pull the plug.

38:00 A major lesson for artists and creators: Awareness is REQUIRED to create scarcity and value.
