You guys have a good meeting. I mean, like, whatever your value that had already been following you for Thank you so much. I almost answering the questions that people acts. You know what you're gonna say? I feel stupid. Well, sometimes it's in Contino What I like about it. Still to your point, I'm so consistent. Sometimes he would make fun of me of like you say the same shit I'm like, That's the fucking point like people when they leave comments or say to me like you say the same shit. Think they're dissing me? I'm like, motherfucking that's the point, drooling my on dhe then,

But where its nuance and what's why it's nice to meet people is sometimes you could be subtly nuanced. Everybody's question comes from a slightly different point. The big part of what I'm trying to figure out what to do is like I back to what I was just saying. There are 13 27 things that are the things. Then it's like, What's up in your life? Somebody has a sick mother. Somebody's trying to fucking rule the world. They don't care my money. They want fucking fame. Some people want fame, somewhat legacy. Some just want their kid to be proud of them because they're not proud of their dad or like there's so much shit underneath it. But the foundation, the shit I'm spinning, it's fucking riel.

That's the four bus because none of four buster 18 were different men than we were 5 10 50 yet right, we're different men, and then and then the other thing that you don't know when you're 15 and a fucking knucklehead is life is long. Thank God, obviously, tragically, sometimes, No. But like, there's a very high chance that the four months we're gonna live for 50 years, each longer there's a lot to do. We grew, we were parented and grand, parented by people who didn't live to 100. But we are. So that's the shit I'm trying to get people to think about.

How are you? Right. So, like when we were fucking 18 43 seem like 1000 Now we're like, I don't know, Like what? Like, I feel like I got a whole life in front of me. Yeah, everything. We've been through some shit, but like, there's a lot to do up for me. I started feeling last couple of years like, Damn this is it. And you know what ends up happening in your game is when you're in something that has yet youth culture in it,

you see somebody doing something special that you're proud of for them or happy but ember of envious of them. And they're 19. You're like, damn my old things like, don't look at them. Look at the other four billion people that are 80 doing shit like that? Gary looking Mark Securities 25 or looking fucking chance the rapper. He already did. I'm like, what about the fucking eight trillion fucking people that are 80 doing shit and still haven't broke through? Why you looking at the point? 01%. To judge your happiness, why don't we look at the fucking masses, right? I sit in this room is being in America.

We're ready with it perspective that once you see gratitude and opportunity, life is fun. When you think something's suppressing you, it's easier for you to feel suppressed minority All that I get it. That's true. That's actually true. But once you get into what am I gonna look at? A lot of things are true. What was true for me and I spent the 1st 20 years building my parents business for them. That was my truth. Like lots of things are true. Colby's like was good, then had a tragic end like like there's a lot of truth, but people do you get to this side if you're gonna dwell and play, prevent defense or if you're gonna see opportunity and be grateful and go on offense. That's what I'm trying to get people through.

I could sit with anybody. Show me the richest white male in America and he'll cry about some shit like his mom was horrible. You know what I mean? Like you pick me. And then and then everybody knows somebody who's got all sorts of fucked up situations, and they're happy. That's called perspective. I know everybody can talk about somebody who's happier than them. That hasn't way worse and sadder than them. That has a way better, right? And if that's true, which it is for everybody, do you think then that becomes the actual game? That's what I think about, and that's what I'm trying to be popular.

And that's why I think it's making an impact because it leads to a nice place, you know? Yeah, because you know, I come from a place that's Maur zero and so, and the way I talk to people in that spot is not looking down on them, and it's not even trying to inspire them. It's just really everything I just said, sounds inspirational. It's actually practical. It's not raw. Rush it like you could do it. It's how are you choosing to look at your life. And then if you practically realize opportunity and be grateful for whatever the fuck you have, because somebody's always got it worse. Well,

then it could starts getting interesting other than the money was driving beauty. The best part is the money's not driving me at all you like, but I could be really, really wealthy if that was my game. I like the legacy I liked amorous. I like these moments. People really like people. I got really lucky that social media came along where people interaction went to scale. Because the way people the way people look at me now, it's just like the way that they looked at me when I was a kid than my crew. I was the nice person I was, the personnel in height, like my high school friends popping out. But like actually to speak sense, you gave up popularity because you could have had it, because every popular kid like you,

because you want to be friends with everybody and that cost you in high school. But that's who you actually are. The sports Cardflex wasn't to say, Look at me. I put 50 into LeBron. Now it's 200,000. That video is motherfucker. I just told you nine months ago to do this. You could have done it too, with one LeBron. Guess what? Because I was there. When you only have when you not only when you have $1000 to spend on something and it becomes worth 4000 and you could buy it on eBay and sell it on eBay between April and February, that shit matters, right? I think all of us can remember when $1000 with a big fucking deal and the thought of making a good decision doing something.

And five months later, you have 4000 that fucking resonates to all of us. I remember that day like yesterday square for continued 1000 4000. But what people do they go to a casino, But what people do, they bet. But one of people do dumb shit, and I'm saying it's that same hustles out here. You know, basketball players. Good. So it's kind of it's an interesting It's why I'm confused. Because when I do it right, I understand how it could be seen. I'm just not worried about the judgment for every person in the end. Be like you're a fucking asshole who has $50,000 to buy supporters.

And, like with bugger, you didn't hear what I said. This wasn't for you. You've decided to look at the perspective of coming up with excuses. Why? You're not winning, motherfucker, Have nothing. Okay, okay. There's a lot of people out there to do. Have $1000 who are trying to get go in. How do I The system fucks me. No, it doesn't.

You know, LeBron is the best. You know, sports cars were coming. I'm giving the team for free because you follow me on social media going by the fucking LeBron. You could have 4000 now, By the way, it's going to 10,000 straight up. I'm telling you, right to your face right now. If you have $4000 you could go on eBay by LeBron. It's 4000 and 6000 in July when they're in the finals. Something like I don't care about 2000 bucks by 80 of that 160,000 bucks. So what I'm trying to do in a lot of different ways is trying to teach, but I'm doing it from an angle where some people really he'll hear me, and that's why they're growing.

And some people don't like it because they don't want to do it. I'm putting pressure. I'm putting pressure. I'm poking. I'm poking my cool your water. Welcome to complain. Nobody gives a fuck. Nobody cares, man. And what I what? I talked to African American. I wish I wish. I wish 100% of every white person America knew what it was like to get pulled over 13 times in a year. It's just something they'll never know. All my friends in college with black, so I But I still wasn't me.

I was in it, and I did get pulled over all those times because I was in the car. But even though I knew it, you don't know it until you're in it, and you still can't really feel it when you're not it. But it be nice to even know how true it is. That's what everything is. So that's example of race issues. Then there is the example of opportunity. I wish everybody knew that had 100 bucks right now that if they went garage selling to Goodwill and the Dollar Store and worked instead of crying about it, and six months later had 2000. I wish they could taste it when you that's what I wish Podcast. What's good?

I want to make sure you're signed up for the weekly newsletter. We revamped it a couple weeks ago, and the response has been overwhelming in the history of the newsletter, maybe seven or eight years, I think we've had two or three significant changes, but there's been nothing like this. The recap nature, the fact that it only comes out once a week way visually loaded it up in a U. Y. U ex that makes it easily to consume while having a ton of information. There may be no better way to keep up with opportunities on information that you're probably looking for then signing up for the newsletter, Go to Gary Boner chuck dot com, my website, gary Vaynerchuk dot com, and sign up for the email newsletter. It's at the top or decide and you'll find it. It's it's they're signing for the weekly be newsletter and er, and I hope you enjoy it. And now to the podcast

because pride is a lot of times disguising insecurity. Yeah, actually, right. You're worried about somebody seeing you go to the dollar store and you're not looking. They'd rather spend 800 bucks they don't have on some Weatherspoon's then spend 100 bucks to go to dollar store by 40 or 50 of these things, and everyone's laughing at them. I just didn't give a fuck the ability not gonna fuck off course. That's it. That's why if you look Russian immigrants and African Americans very simply flex for perception, not truth. All right, that's really you see doing now dolls. And I do it now. And here's what happens in the comments on YouTube. I going garage, and I'll do it in a couple of months when it warms up and the calm and I'll show I'm trying to teach people.

So when something like six bucks on, like three bucks and the comments, if your perspective is complaining and shit's fucked up, don't fuck this guy. You're fucking millionaire, the fucker. You ripping these people off right on the flipside. I'm getting the d m Z in the comments from people like you taught me. Now I do this now? I quit This bullshit job. Got a different job because I'm making enough of my side hustle of garage sailing. Mom. Happy now that that I need to be able to deal with the judgment of somebody calling me a millionaire Ripping off poor people. That hurts somebody. Okay? I didn't steal it.

I went to a garage sale. They wanted six bucks offered in three bucks. They were pumped, their popped. They were happy. They were happy. They were. They were mayor. I know. They were thrilled. That's garbage. They're about to throw that out. They were pumped, but no cynicism. The kid laying and YouTube watching that utility watching me, who doesn't want to work?

Oh, I see how he got ahead. He took advantage of people. Uh, you have an excuse to not work my first. My first perspective, it was pride grow. Bro's the amount of people to hit me up. My friends, friends like, Yo, you can't do this. You look stupid and literally the first day I did. At first I think I did on instagram stories before I did a YouTube video and I d on my friends back I was like, You don't know me. You think you know You know me now this is who I am.

I'm dirt, but I'm dirt. You think on Penthouse? I'm dirt dirt and that's and that's right. And that's why I think I resonate in certain pockets, whether it's the cold, you know, because I'm dirt. I definitely understand it. I lived it, I was in it. They don't understand that. I'm going to Chicago this weekend and I'm gonna win the spades tournament. But I know, but I know on that's and that's what people said. Every time something comes out that gives people a little bit of perspective,

it's the same old thing, like Oh, now I get it. I'm dirt, but I love it. I think the only thing is to find happiness on your terms and then reinforce it so much that you can't even hear people's opinions on what you should be doing. To be happy I did it for so long. Like this is perfect when this is your report. Like, this is the shit, right? Like again, you start hitting the singing and everybody sees you. But if people knew that I was literally. This is my entire high school. My class rank was 243 out of 2 54 I was literally the 11th worth student in my entire grade.

I'm dirt. This whole system told me I was a loser that I would never amount to. Nothing. We're in the same age group. There was no entrepreneurship. When we come out there was hustle for you guys. But like in my world, there wasn't Entrepreneur never done a thing. You won't start a company. Go to college, right? How many times we gonna go to college? As if it was the only fucking path. But for me, why I'm at this place that this young oven age is? Back then I knew I'm like,

cool. You keep telling me, but I'm in my own head. I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm gonna be nice to the nerves because they're humans. I'm gonna sell baseball cards in the lunch room while you all laughed at me because I don't give a fuck what you think. I don't need your fucking confirmation affirmation or co sign in my head a 12. I'm like you're gonna want my co sign and now I'm right. Practice that practice and then also like, another thing that I'm really trying to talk to people about is like everybody else sucks, too. Like one thing that really worked for me and I started talking about is like when I would feel bad. I'm like like I never envied anybody because I would look at somebody and no matter what, they somebody's dunking and I'm like, barely got my jump shot down. I'm like,

Yeah, but they suck it. They're not nice or like Like, you know, like to me. It's like, Why are you beating yourself up and putting somebody else on a pedestal? They got fucking shortcomings too, right? Like they're just human. And then what that does is a weird thing. Then you start celebrating people instead of end being stuff second best like hate it. So it's a difference with, like, you're nice with them. Here's the best.

You'll appreciate this every culture of same. That's the slang term we use in that culture. Like my grandma used that term, too. She was a white Russian woman. She had a term for it. Jealousy, you know, to me, you know, in Russian and Yiddish like every culture, has got the same shit. They just use different words, told thing shit. It's all the same shit, just different words.

You just say it better. That's why I became the lay of the land, honestly, on some real shit, you know what I mean? Like, hip hop is rock n roll, those gutter kids that were anti the establishment, right? And you can already see it right now with sexual preferences, transgender, other things. That's gonna be the next culture. It's been written in 30 years, right? It's been ran because now there's somebody more suppressed than you.

That's all that happens. It's always the same. The kids from the dirt always win in the end, if they can keep their mind right, most can't and they feel the pressure and they break. But the small percentage that realizes it's a strength, not a weakness, do it. Yeah, that's why when I meet content, people confused, I'm like talking about rich kids and I'm like, you don't get it. They've been told they can't win, so they've already lost. Their parents are taking care of everything.

Every time I put out that content the whole suppress comes at me like fuck you. I'd rather fry in a Mercedes, and you don't get it because you write just like your white friends saying I get it. The contra button. Well, guess what. If you're not a rich kid, you don't get it either. I understand you want the Mercedes. Let me tell you about the fucking deep pain that's going on. When your parents in the world and no matter what you accomplish, everyone's going to say it was your daddy's money you lost when you started zero or suppressed, at least have a chance to climb out and then be on a herring. You hope you could be on a pedestal. You're admired from coming from it. When you're the other way you lost before you start,

there's nothing you can do. That's why a lot of breaking and they really break. I'm talking like right, Mental health. It's so funny. I gotta run so much about white privilege. I think about it a lot, obviously, cause I care about these cultures how they mix when we get to mental health privilege. That's gonna be the biggest conversation if you're privileged enough to have self esteem, fruit, chemicals and parenting. You've won, and that's what I'm trying to do for my audience. I'm trying to be the the gap of building up their self esteem, but first you have to be not entitled and stop complaining.

So complete, because nobody's listening, but another fucking loser. The only person that listen to somebody complain somebody else that complaints gettinto what's right. And you get one big dinner of Dwell Fest and everybody leaves unhappy like as if anything and nobody's doing shit about that was fun waiting Love Russell Collection. Thank you, Brown.
