This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

And I know that you believe adversity is the foundation for success.

I do.

And my question for you is, what was the hardest time you have gone through as an entrepreneur

and what types of things did you do in that situation to use that adversity to your advantage?

The truth is, probably the hardest point I've ever had as an entrepreneur was towards the

tail at, probably somewhere around 30 to, probably around 2005 when, you know, I was on this

mission as a kid to build this big business for my dad and my mom.

And I owned none of the business.

I was massively growing the business, but I was getting paid very little because it's a

family business.

I understood.

But I basically had, you know, my 22 to 34, I had a job because, and I was grossly underpaid

because I was running the business.

And towards the end, I struggled with that.

You know, like I started to, I think it's fair to say resent.

You know, like it's tough to build something from three to 60 million make, you know, 70,

60, 40, you know, through the years 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 1000 instead of what somebody

else would be doing.

If I wasn't my dad's son, I'd be getting paid a million or two million a year.

So I lost twice on paper.

You know, I didn't own the business.
