Summary
In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I go on the My First Million Podcast with Shaan Puri and Sam Parr to break down the behind-the-scenes operations of my seven eight-figure businesses and how I manage them all without losing my mind. I discuss why the 15-minute meeting is my secret weapon for productivity and how I’ve moved to leading with Kind Candor. I also share my perspective on "long-term greed" and why building a relationship graph is the most important thing you can do for your career.
You’ll learn about:
- The Power of "Kind Candor" in Management
- The Future of the "Individual Empire" and Creator-Entrepreneurs
- Why Live Shopping is the Next Major Shift in Global Commerce
