This is the Gary V. Audio Experience.

Hey Gary. How are you? Fantastic. It sounds like these guys have had a very fruitful experience already. They had a conversation with Simon Sinek.

That's awesome. This morning. Yeah. That's awesome. Well, hello everybody. Hope everybody's well.

We've got a whole bunch of folks coming in and feel free to we know this is lunchtime. So don't be Jim already set the tone that if you want to grab a little something, feel free.

And for the group, it was Gary's birthday on Sunday, right?

Saturday. Thank you. Saturday. So Gary, a belated happy birthday.

One of the many things that we love about Gary is that he loves his birthday. There are a lot of people that sell that are get us get that excited, but we love we love that about him.

I heard a great Steve Martin was talking. He's doing some cartoons now. And one of the cartoons is a baby being born.

And the baby that little bubble is best birthday ever.

That's so good. That's so good. So we know we still have said we were at 30 and I think we've still got a few more that are that are coming in, but I'm wondering if we don't maybe get things started if that's okay, Sid.

That's great.

So really excited. I'm Andrea Sullivan, the CMO of VaynerX. We're thrilled to be here today to have a have an interactive session with all of you and talk a little bit more about marketing for the now and what it takes to really accelerate growth.

And we're lucky to have Gary here to spark the conversation.

We know that there's a lot of you on the call today. We typically have people go around and do introductions and share different challenges and things like that. We want to make sure that you get the most out of the session today and get a tremendous amount of value.

So we're wondering if folks do want to use the chat function.

We'll be using that kind of throughout and would love for for all of you to share different challenges or opportunities that that you're thinking about.

So you're looking into 2021 and that will help us to make sure that we're, you know, dialing into the kind of key areas that might be most fruitful for you and your individual businesses.

So with that, I'm going to hand it over to you, Gary, in part because my new puppy is eating everything in my bedroom. So I'm going to pick him up and throw him out the door. If you don't mind, it'll be back in one second.

Andrew, real quick, before you leave, am I doing an opening kind of statement and are we just going hardcore Q and A?

Yeah, that's exactly right. So wondering if you can, yeah, kind of set the tone. Share a little bit about what you're seeing right now. And then we'll start jumping into the dialogue.

Team, hi, everybody. The reason I was asking about that format is I really want to get into the details because what I'm seeing, I don't think is extraordinarily difficult to understand, but unfortunately remarkably hard for most organizations to execute.

I think that goes into HR and human dynamics more than the information of what I mean by that, everyone is, it's extremely clear to those who are very narrow in their paying attention of how money is spent to make something happen, what's going on.
