is not because I want to be a fucking motivational speaker

and fluffy, fluff, fluff and ra-ra-ra, it's because

it's the fucking thing!

♫ We're unstoppable

- Yo, yo, yo, what up, vlog?

Busy day today, didn't really film anything

on this Friday, just work, work, work, work, work.

Did film an Ask Gary V, how did that go, Seth,

was it a good Ask Gary V?

- Great one.

- Awesome, nonetheless, gave a talk in Portland

a couple weeks ago to Dutch Bros coffee company,

it turned into an epic, I mean an epic.

D. Rock, how long was it?

- Two and a half hours.

- So, this is gonna be a two-and-a-half hour episode

of DAILYVEE?

Two and a half hour episode of DAILYVEE,

touched on a ton of new content, I think you guys

are gonna super-enjoy it and sit back,

pour a glass of wine from the Gary V. Wine Club,

oh wait, what, you're not part of the Gary V. Wine Club?

D. Rock, are you part of the Gary V?

You are, Seth, are you part of the--

- Not yet.

Guys, don't be a dickface, sign up for the Garry V.

Wine Club and watch this now.

- Let's welcome to the stage, Mr. Gary Vaynerchuk.

(audience cheering)

- Hello.

Thank you.

Thanks.

All right, let's go, let's go, sit down, let's do this.

- [Audience] Gary, Gary, Gary!

- What up?

What up, what up, what up?

Thank you for having me, thank you so much for the awesome

intro and reaction, very frankly, how are we doing

the Q&A, where is the Q&A gonna come from?

You guys have runners?

Awesome, cool, I just can't wait to get to the Q&A,

so I just wanted to get that out real quick.

And the reason why I want to do the Q&A

to be very frank, is I think I get to speak a lot

and when I think about speaking, at the end of the day,

I'm trying to reverse-engineer the audience, right?

To me, as a lot of you know, how many people here

have seen some of my content online, raise your hands?

Thank you, actually, real quick, how many of you have not,

raise your hands, okay, fuck you guys.

(laughing)

Kidding, kidding, kidding.

So, for about 70% of you, you guys have seen the content

and I'll go through certain things that I want to talk

to you guys about, for the 30% or 40% of you

that just raised your hands that you haven't,

you can go to YouTube or Facebook and see this,

so what's super-important to me is to make this talk

contextual and when I think about this audience,

and whether it's of age or mindset,

the youth in the offense of this organization

is super-attractive to me, from afar, right?

For me, I'm 41, I'm old, but I feel 16 in my mind,

right, and I work like I'm 19, you know,

in my prime, because I'm on the offense.

It's a mindset.

And so the thing that I want to first start with

is intangibles, right?

I've been thinking about this quite a bit,

and let me tell you why this is the first thing I want

to start with, yesterday, for some of you that know,

I'm a ridiculously die-hard Jets fan, right?

And yesterday, the Jets fucked me up

because they won a football game.

So for some of you that aren't into football,

my strategy for this season was to go 0 and 16

and take a quarterback with the first pick

and so I literally was in the stands yesterday

in New York, really upset as my team was dominating

an arch rival in the Miami Dolphins and all the fans

around me were pissed because I was booing

when the Jets were doing good shit,

and it was fucking awkward, okay?

But here's what happened.

The Jets took a player this year by the name of Jamal Adams

out of LSU and he basically was disproportionately

impactful on the game yesterday without doing anything

that you would normally consider a turning point.

He didn't have an interception for a touchdown,

he didn't do any of the things that would show up

in the stats sheets that would make you say,

oh he won the game as a defensive back,

what he did was intangibles.

What he did was, the hour before the game,

the way he interacted with all his teammates

didn't look anything like a kid playing his third game

of his life in pros, it looked like a 16-year veteran

doing the little things.

What he did was, on every play when the Dolphins

made a mistake or an off-side, he basically looked

at the entire crowd, which was half-empty and would get them

excited, what he did was when a teammate came off

the field that made a nice play on special teams,

he ran over and gave him dapps.

He literally, fundamentally willed the vibe of the game

to go in the direction that created the outcome.

I am not physically structured to win all my competitive

battles through my life.

Yet, when I think about all the one-on-one basketball

games or the floor hockey matches or ping pong

matches or tennis or football or whatever,

like 80% of the time when I fucking win something

in a physical confrontation sporting event

it's because I used intangibles to mentally outmaneuver

or disproportionately figure out how to win.

I am fascinated, fascinated by this.

I am fascinated by fucking mindset, I am fascinated

in a complicated world that we're all growing up in,

it's a binary decision if you're gonna be positive

or negative about shit.

I'm fascinated that when you're addicted to kindness

and optimism and positivity, it just, you know,

it's so funny.

You know stuff like the secret,

I love when people talk about like the secret,

people think you sit on your ass on your couch

and you're like, "I wish I had a million bucks"

and it's like, bloop and it just shows up.

What I'm fascinated by is the reason people succeed

that put their mindset into it is because it does something

that has really also caught my attention over the last two

years, which is the following.

When you bet on optimism, when you're on the offense,

when you're playing towards intangibles,

you do something super-duper interesting.

You start suffocating excuses.

If you asked me what the number one things is

that I'm thankful for that my parents gave me,

taking me from a communist country and moving me to the US.

You know, parenting me well, nothing bad,

you know, roof and clothes, all good stuff,

if you asked me the number one thing I wake up

every morning and thank that my parents did

is that I never saw either one of them complain

about jack shit and they basically created learned

behavior for me, I'm incapable of actually complaining

about shit.

And that has become the foundation of my success.

When I was in my 20s and early 30s, I spent

eight, 15, 16, 17 hours a day for 13 years, building

my dad's liquor store for him,

I own nothing of Wine Library, right,

I leave that business in my mid-30s, I've no wealth,

I've built a 60-million dollar wine business

for my dad and I don't sit there and complain,

I think about it as I did the right thing by thanking

my parents and giving back.

Literally, literally, no joke, if I leave this conference

today, right now, if I leave, right, if we do this,

we have a nice little Q&A, it's a good talk,

it's fucking cool, I leave, I go to cross a street

to go into my car, to go to the airport,

and I get hit by a car, literally as I'm laying there,

I'd be like fuck, I shouldn't have left the conference

that early.

It is in my mindset that literally every negative thing

that happens to me is my fucking fault.

I recognize that that's not true, you know,

when I talk about this publicly,

everybody starts bringing up stuff like what if you're raped

and what if you're this and that, I understand.

I'm a logical, practical person, I'm not talking about

knowing or thinking everything is my fault,

I'm talking about living a life where you default

into believing that as your mindset because what happens

is you start spending all of your time on offense.

My friends, listen, here's what fucking freaks me the

fuck out, do you understand, you like that?

Let me get to it, it's really interesting to me,

I wish everybody in this conference, including myself

by the way, who spends all this time on this,

I wish we had better perspective.

I wish that there was some fucking crazy,

that dude right there with the weird fucking horse

T-shirt, I wish he was some weird genie that could take us

back in time 80 years ago so that every one of you

could live one fucking day in your great, great

grandparents shoes and understand how fucking good

you have, like if you really, really understood

how amazing the era we live in

and listen, I'm not naive to what's happening

in our society, I'm aware of the political current

climate, I'm aware of everything.

Let me just say thins very clear so everybody gets it

through their fucking dome, this is the greatest

year to ever be alive in the history of mankind.

I am super-empathetic, again, when you make those kind

of statements, do I believe that there is

suppression around?

Of course, but on a macro data, macro data, health,

life expectancy, how much hate and negativity actually

is in the complete world, this is the best.

We have it the best and all I see is people sitting around

and dwelling around dumb shit around what they don't

have instead of focusing on what they do have.

My friends, the internet is a fucking miracle.

It's a fucking miracle, the scalability in which you can

achieve, the things that you could be doing,

the fact that you could be laying fucking naked

in your bed at two in the morning

and doing productive shit is fucking crazy.

It's crazy, if you got your side hustle,

if you think about your side hustle

or you're crushing it with these guys and doing

side hustle, there was no side hustle for your

great-great-grandparents.

Like, when it was 9 p.m. it was dark and cold outside,

it wasn't practical.

We take things for granted, do you know how upset,

do you know what's crazy to me?

How mad I get when my internet is a hundredth of a second

slower than what I'm used to.

Like, literally, a hundredth of a second slower

and I feel it because I'm used to what speed it's

supposed to be and that's frustrating like on a plane

because the Wi-Fi on the plane is a little slow

which is so ridiculous because I'm on a fucking plane,

and then it's Wi-Fi, it's there, I'm old,

I remember not having it, it's crazy how quickly

we take things for granted.

So, London just banned Uber and my buddy landed there

and he's like what the fuck am I gonna do?

I'm like, I don't know, what everybody has done for the

last 300 years, dickface, take the train.

We just get used to shit so fast.

And in our speed of getting used to how fucking awesome

it is, I'm just desperate this afternoon for you

to not lose perspective, perspective is the fucking game,

right?
