Hey guys, it's Gary Vay, Nerd Chuck, and this is the GaryVee audio experience.

I'm making a quick video. I'm about to leave, but I gotta sneak this in. It's been a pretty hardcore day, and so I'm not my normal

off-the-wall bouncing kind of self. So I'm a little bit more thoughtful because there's a ton of shit running through my head after 11 hours of

this day, but I do want to talk about the Amazon acquisition of Whole Foods. I love it for many different reasons. July 5th, 1994.

July 5th, 1994 is the day that Amazon launched Whole Foods was valued at 220 million- oh you guys think I'm an amateur, huh?

Whole Foods was valued at 220 million dollars at the time. I'm always fascinated by being historically correct, which I talk about with myself and trying to think

because being historically correct allows the person that started way behind to win, right?

To me, it's fascinating that it's Amazon buying Whole Foods instead of Whole Foods buying Amazon, or the fact that

had Whole Foods been run by people that bet on the internet and started with food instead of books, like would it be the other way around?

Would Whole Foods be eating up the world instead of Amazon eating up the world? There's a clip here that I'm gonna show you right now that was from what?

Just like two or three weeks ago, where I was talking about Amazon, if it entered into the stereo world, what would it mean?

What if they bought, I think people don't understand how big these companies are. I wonder how many people are like, whoa, Amazon bought Whole Foods easily.

And when Facebook buys X and Apple buys Y, I don't think people understand what's happening here. The new world is gonna eat the old world. It's gonna eat it. It's gonna eat it, my friends. That's what's gonna contain the whole world.

I'm gonna continue to happen. I think today is a landmark day because a new-aged company, Amazon is not old. A new-aged company.

I was 18 years old when Amazon launched. This is not a new company. Excuse me, not an old company. It's a new company. Whole Foods itself is kind of a new company.

But what this means to the other people in the grocery business. This is a shot in the air. I want people to pay attention.

This clip is me talking about Amazon entering that world. I don't know if you know how Amazon does it. It would be Amazon buying Sonos and then selling Sonos's for half the price they're selling for right now to penetrate market share.

And then you're really finished. When you guys saw what they do with bananas, you see this? Because they want to win grocery. They're giving away a million free bananas in one day. They're just smart.

And what I really want to talk about in this video is, one, if you're winning, start eating up your own self. Don't let somebody else do it. If you're winning right now in your business, put yourself out of business. Don't let somebody else do it.

Don't let somebody else buy you, buy them. That's number one. Number two, please pay attention to what Facebook and Apple and Google have the capabilities of doing and start figuring out what that means to you and how you're innovating.

And thing whether you were running a hundred dollar business or a hundred million dollar business that you take away from this, innovation always wins. If you're right, you always win. If you're right, you always win, right?

Plan the apps. Three real fucking a list celebrities in me. How do I get there? By being right. By being right. By building my brand the right way that gave me the leverage to be on that panel.
