Today's podcast is a mashup of clips where Gary speaks on what he believes it really means to be successful. Enjoy.

I've come to realize that so much is working for me because on paper so much did not work for me as a child. You know, when you're born in a different country and you move and you immigrate, there's always going to be struggles within that.

I was born in the Soviet Union. We came to the US when I was three. I lived in a studio apartment with multiple family members. It was not glamorous. I had to learn the language. At five and four and five years old got picked on quite a bit for not being able to speak English.

I was an all-time atrocious student which meant my teachers and the parents of my best friends basically shit on me and told me I wouldn't be successful.

I was not ridiculously physically gifted for athletics so I wasn't dominating in sports. And so when I think about what makes me happy, forget about financially successful because to be very frank,

something that I've decided I'm going to spend the next 80 years of my life on is I genuinely think as a society we have to redefine success and dramatically start downplaying money and start playing up happiness.

I appreciate that and I really mean it by the way. No question to me. One of the reasons I think I'm a successful entrepreneur is because I love the game, not the trophies that come from winning the game.

I think that a lot of people are chasing money because they want to buy shit to conceal insecurities and unhappiness because we're so worried about judgment from everybody else or to prove to everybody else we're winning and it's completely fucked and we need to completely transform it.

I'm thinking a lot about that but on that note all that losing as a kid made me not fear it. The enormous reason I'm going to rant for another 1650 seconds and tell you to produce an ungodly amount of content on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, podcast.

I will rant and I will push and I will prod and I'll come up with four classic analogies and two new ones because I love improv and I'm going to basically try to will down your fucking throat.

The thought that you need to put out pictures video and written word on the internet on this device at scale because the fact that we get to be humans during this internet era where you get to post shit for free and get free distribution.

And yes, eventually the organic reach of the algorithm goes down and everybody fucking cries about it but let me remind all of you it's fucking free.

I will sit here and pound that message down your throat. I will talk about self-awareness how you have to be good and figure out what you're good at. Are you comfortable in front of a camera? No, no big deal. Audio clip it. Great, you're not going to that. Right. I don't care how you do it. I definitely don't think you should do it like I do it.

I do it my way but if you are not producing content around your business or whatever you're trying to achieve by being here you are in a place where you will continue to lose leverage while the person that does produce content for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, they will continue to gain leverage.

It's as simple as that. Everything that has happened in society around the human race over the last forever years has been predicated on communication.

Everything that you're talking about in your life, parenting, politics, business, entertainment is completely predicated on contextual contemporary communication.

I have really nothing else to say. I can literally fucking leave the stage right now and feel good. I mean that. I couldn't be more passionate around getting everybody to understand that wherever we go with the Q&A right now, it's all going to lead to one thing.
