You all know my stance on interning and what you should be striving for when doing an internship ANYWHERE. This chat reaffirms that massively. I loved chatting with the summer interns here at VM, and I think you all will really enjoy this. If you're interning this summer, or are about to start in the fall make sure you're connecting with as many people in the company or location you're at. That's key ;)

It's a classic case of quality vs quantity, mixed with self-awareness. Maybe you ARE focused on having the most followers, and that's fine, but my goal here isn't numbers - it's impact. Hope you take this one to heart <3

Loved having sports marketing legend and good friend Brandon Steiner stop by the #AskGaryVee show this past week. Brandon built a one of a kind business and is one of the few that were able to partner up with the New York Yankees (and claims to be the inventor of the Everything Bagel). This guy moves just as fast as I do and is absolutely killing it. The stories and call-in questions in here are complete fire - I know you'll love it. ;)

It may not seem like it, but August is one of the most important months for an entrepreneur. Everyone else is sleeping or on vacation and just simply not on their A-Game. Now's the time to prepare. Now's the time to get your 4th quarter hustle up and running. <3

At the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, talking to their football team about understanding the bigger picture. When you are at the prime of your career, you have the leverage. This generation of athletes is being smart about branding and entrepreneurship and the time after they retire around 30 years of age. Share this with someone that needs to understand where the bigger picture in life stands <3

Loved taking this meeting with Aija to discuss the mechanics around monetizing as a non-profit, why having a podcast and/or vlog is completely vital to any entrepreneur at this time, and transitioning from different pillars of content and themes to maximize social reach. This is a really great one guys, hope you love it :)

Between #AskGaryVee with Linda Cohn, talking business, branding and the future with Aija Mayrock and an in-depth fireside chat I had with the Vaynermedia LA summer interns, this week was nothing short of spectacular. Loved having Linda on the show, because she brought so much energy and passion to the table which got me fired up. You REALLY don't want to miss anything from this week especially. Hit me up on Twitter and let me know what your thoughts are! Enjoy ;)

This episode was FIRE all around. Loved loved loved having Linda Cohn - one of ESPN's Sportscenter top anchors talk about the way she got to where she is. Her story's similar to mind in that she literally put in 7 days a week, and worked for free to break through into the massive success she is today. You really don't want to miss this one. The calls are good ;)

I'm constantly asked about my thoughts on work life balance, hustle culture and work ethic and I hope this one will answer some of those questions for you. There needs to be a conversation that your amount of hustle and grind is directly correlated to how happy or unhappy you are. If you're unhappy, you need to work and strive as hard as you can to change that. You're the only person who's able to change at that level so it's completely up to YOU to make it happen. Hope you enjoy these thoughts-...

On this episode of After The App, I sit down with Lightspeed Ventures partner Aaron Batalion and Product Hunt founder Ryan Hoover to talk about their backgrounds in coding and development, how entrepreneurship is blending together into tech culture, and our thoughts on emerging cryptocurrency.

This message is SO important, because it goes right back down to the core basics of what to do. Even if you're only starting out, as long as you're doing SOMETHING it's better than sitting idly by and doing nothing to push yourself and your message. Please please take this message to heart and run with it. Big thanks to Anthony M. for this read (IG: Beerswme). Enjoy <3

These fireside chats I get to do are some of my favorites, and I love when they consist of people under my own company. There's some fire questions in here, and I loved sitting down with the summer interns at VMLA to chat and expand the knowledge on both sides. We talked smart devices, where voice is starting and heading, and a ton more. I know you'll enjoy this - let me know your thoughts ;)

One of the big reasons that I'm obsessed with "hustle" and "grind" and just plain putting in the work is because that's the ONE variable that everyone can put in to change the outcome of their lives. And that comes out extremely clear and strong in this interview. Just because you failed at one thing doesn't mean you give up. Learn and get back up and go. Hope you enjoy this ;)

Another completely fire week in the books, starting with my brand new Podcast, #BrownPaperBags. Definitely make sure you give this one a listen - I sit down and do a blind wine tasting with Victoria's Secret Supermodel Erin Heatherton, Editor in Cheif of PureWow, Mary Kate McGrath and award winning winemaker and sommelier Andre Mack and things get wild. If you haven't heard this one you're missing out. Loved kicking off the first selection of Vaynernation reads, and of course throwing back to my...

Loved this Q&A we did from my hotel room on a recent visit to Hong Kong. The questions these students asked were great, ranging from defining what's the most promising opportunities in biology are, to my thoughts behind what online shopping will be like in the future, advice for AI startups and ideas about why the US often lags behind other markets. This is a really good one, hope you enjoy ;)

It may look like I came out of nowhere in a matter of years, but in reality my success was YEARS in the making. I didn't just flip a switch and all of a sudden get on Conan O'Brien, I spent every. single. weekend from when I was 14 working, learning, listening; This rant is the story behind all that. I'd love if you'd pass this on to someone who needs it, or just needs a little push. It's all time. Enjoy <3

What do Sommelier Andre Mack, Victoria's Secret Angel Erin Heatherton, PureWow Editor In Chief Mary Kate McGrath and I have in common? We love wine. So, we sat down and did a blind tasting, with wines sent over from Wine Library and man did this episode blow up. If you're not a wine fan, don't worry- is may still be one of the most FIRE episodes ever - we dove deep into evvvverything. Can't wait to do another one of these, so let me know your thoughts on this format! <3

Every single person that works within a human resources or CFO role NEEDS to give this keynote a listen. There's content in here that will not only improve your company culture, but give you a better understanding of your employee landscape. One big thing that you need to understand is that happiness isn't solely linked to title and money, but much much more. Once you start taking a look at what your employees are saying about the company on social media, you'll be armed with info to be able to ...

This Keynote was definitely one for the books. I gave this keynote to the Rise conference in Hong Kong last week, for a group of entrepreneurs, and there's some great content in here. I touched on topics focused around staying ahead of platforms that are constantly changing, but that remain within the same basic framework of what communication will remain to be, what happens to attention when large companies spend a ton of money to advertise and where you can slip in, and mapping your actions to...

Acting like a media company isn't just a good suggestion right now, it's mission critical. There's no excuse for not pumping out as much content and distributing it as far and wide as humanly possible - that's just the game. I'm trying something brand new here and having the Vaynernation read out the articles I've been pumping out on Medium. If you want to read an article, hit me up! Shoutout to Matthew Bonelli (IG: @matthewjbonelli) for this read.

Another total fire week in the books. If you missed ANY content this week, definitely make sure to go back and check it out. Love putting out these quick recaps so to keep you all update. This week was jam packed with an AskGaryVee with the President and CMO of K-Swiss that had some big news, my recently released chat with Black Enterprises, a catch-up with my college roommate, and that's just getting started. If you haven't checked out my brand new Alexa skill, definitely make sure you give it ...

Have you ever wondered exactly what I did while I was in college? Loved meeting up & chatting with one of my roommates and buddies from Mount Ida. This one's worth a listen just for the laughs and stories <3

Loved loved loved sitting down with this group of minority entrepreneurs to chat business and help them figure out the best direct for their work. We chatted everything from hip-hop culture's influence on entrepreneurship, to hacking growth within a business to lead it to success. This one is GREAT and I'd be humbled if you'd give it a listen <3

On this episode of After The App, I sit down with the host of the show, Zane Lowe to talk about the development of the Planet of The Apps series, what it was like working with Apple Music Exec and renowned producer Jimmy Iovine, up and coming hip hop culture and Zane’s journey as a successful DJ and Beats1 Radio host.
