In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Dr. Amanda on her podcast Midlife Muse to talk about how to build momentum in business and life through gratitude and self awareness, why the fear of “being seen” is holding you back, and the impact of 6th place trophies. Dr. Amanda and I also discuss why losing is good, the impact my mother has had on me and why hanging out with 70-80 year olds will change your life for the better.

I discuss why the "mid-funnel" has eaten the marketing world and why brands need to stop wasting money on "upper funnel" guessing games. I also dive deep into my prediction for the rise of "extreme analog" businesses - from physical retail to alternative sports - as a reaction to the explosion of AI. You’ll learn about:

• The Zero-Cost Distribution Opportunity
• Why I’m Betting on Pickleball and Wiffle Ball

• Why "Fresh Eyes" are Your Biggest Competitive Advantage

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I talk about the biggest mistake young entrepreneurs make: being impatient for the result while being lazy in the daily work. I encourage you to stop looking at the "glamorous photoshopped" lives of others on social media and start focusing on your own execution. I also discuss why you should document your journey rather than pretending to be an expert and why the "process" is more important than the "end goal".

You’ll learn about:

• The Concept of Macro Patience and Micro Speed
• How Comparison Destroys Productivity
• The Importance of Documenting Your Journey
• Why Your 20s are for Sacrifice and Learning
