Top Episodes Quotes
- “If you don't know yourself, you've got really no shot because it's too hard. Right? It's too hard. And really, I think what's even more interesting for me personally about it is people are posturing. They just genuinely want people to think of them in a certain way.“ by Gary Vaynerchuk
- “If you were confused that if you're sitting in this classroom right at this second, that you were in the very small percentage of most lucky humans on earth, if you do not have the context of what the 8 billion people on earth are doing, that there was almost a billion people on this earth that don't have access to clean water. Like, if you do not understand and have a relationship with gratitude, you have no shot of ever being happy.“ by Gary Vaynerchuk
- “I think the burnout comes with when people are posting things they're not passionate about, they're posting things that they think will do well. I saw a ton of burnout from attractive people, right? Like, the people that built their audience on, like, you know, taking off their shirt and showing their abs or going all, you know, tna on everything. Like, they were burning out because a lot of them got to a different price in their life and they wanted to talk about other shit, but they weren't getting the same action on likes, and they were, like, literally doing shit they didn't want to do.“ by Gary Vaynerchuk
- “Too many people also think it's not a good strategy to talk about a bunch of different shit on their account. And I think it's the reverse.“ by Gary Vaynerchuk
