This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

The reason I've been able to do what I've done is I've left short-term money on the table

to have the long-term ownership.

You know, it's not super complicated.

Like in music, like in a lot of things, there's been a lot of times.

I mean, I've been offered some really like game-changing, you know, real money to give up things.

I mean, I've already been approached to kind of get into that, you know, shack Michael Jackson realm

where like people are like, oh, I'll just buy out you.

And it's like real money.

And for me, it's just, I'd rather have far less money, but have creative control.

I'm about playing the way I want to play more than, like, me chasing playing the Jets is much more fun than when I own them.

And so, and so if you're lucky and or thoughtful, whichever one this is about realizing, oh, I'm about the game, game, game, game, game for real.

And of course, it'd be nice that there's some good things along the way, but I will never, ever give up being able to play pure for a lot of money up front.

Because, hey, I think I'm talented enough to play pure and get more money. It just might take me 40 years instead of four or 14.

To me, it's been about the incredible lack of, and the reason I talk about patience and the reason I talk about not keeping up with the Joneses, and the reason I talk about don't listen to other people is because when your world is quiet, it can be the way you want it.

If you want to be good, you copy what's popping, right? Like, it's why so many young women are getting plastic surgery, lips, and ass, or whatever.

If you want to be good, you follow what's working, right? Like, you come out with it, use the same terminology, wear the same clothes, you put up the same stuff, you follow the same process.

If you want to be good, you fast follow what's already working, but you have zero originality, which means you're sealing, you're in a ceiling now of good.

For me, I'd rather lose and die, but go for great with going with purity, and really what I'm about. Like, so many people right now hitting me up, and you're like, yo, you got to check off this sports card thing.

It's a little corny. I'm like, motherfucker, you're corny. Like, I fight back, like, cool kids are like, yo, there's a little corny. I'm like, fucking, you're corny, fuck you. I don't listen to you. And by the way, I'm screen shooting this, because in three years, you're going to be flexing with like, brawn rookies on fucking TikTok.

And I'm going to laugh at you, because I'm going to send this out to the world. Like, you have to live in your fucking cocoon.

Yeah, definitely man.
