Give Me 7 Minutes, I’ll Delete Your Fear Of AI | GaryVee Q&A May 29, 2025

Show notes

Today’s episode is all about AI — the fears, the facts, and most importantly, the mindset shift you need to thrive.

We’ve compiled some of my strongest takes on the future of work and how AI fits into it. You’ll hear from people who are genuinely scared they’re about to be replaced… and I’ll give you the exact advice I’d give my own team. This tech is moving fast — but it’s not about being perfect.

We talk about:

🧠 How to move from executor to strategic thinker
🛠️ The tools and skills that make you AI-proof
🔥 Why fear is the biggest risk (not AI itself)
💡 Prompting, context, and how to actually use ChatGPT
💼 What AI means for team size, compensation, and opportunity

Show notes

In this episode, Gary speaks to a group of business owners about the real challenges and opportunities in today’s landscape — from the rapid evolution of AI to the often-overlooked power of consistent social content.

He explains why many businesses aren’t seeing results with digital marketing, how simple strategies like localized video ads can drive actual customer growth, and why understanding AI isn’t just a competitive edge — it’s quickly becoming a necessity.

If you're navigating hiring issues, trying to stand out in a crowded market, or simply unsure where to start with new tools and platforms, this episode offers a clear, practical perspective.

We cover:

Common mistakes in social media marketing — and how to correct them
A $50 local ad strategy that’s working right now
Why AI will impact every industry — not just tech
How trust and authenticity will separate brands that grow from those that don’t
Tips for creating content without overthinking it

MicroVee: What Happened When I Sent a $400 Thank-You Gift | GaryVee Keynote Clip May 25, 2025

Show notes

Sometimes the smallest gesture creates the biggest return.

In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite stories ever—where a simple act of gratitude turned into a massive business opportunity. This is for all the entrepreneurs out there who are obsessed with scale and tech... but might be sleeping on the old-school moves that really build brand equity.

This isn’t theory—it’s a real case study of how doing the unscalable can scale your business better than any ad campaign. I also break down the mindset you need to win in today’s economy: either go all in on social media or go all in on relationships. The middle? That’s where businesses die.

🎯 If you're in business, marketing, sales, or customer service... this episode is your reminder that being human still wins.

We talk about:

📞 Why calling your old clients might be your next growth strategy
🎯 How a $400 jersey for a $100 customer led to a $6,000 sale
❤️ Scaling the unscalable: why gratitude is the edge
🧠 The mindset difference between winning and being forgotten
🚫 Why the “middle” in business is the worst place to be

🎧 Don’t sleep on this one—it’s a great example of how to actually do business in a meaningful way.

How to stop letting other people’s opinions control your decisions
The problem with participation trophies and fearing failure
Why self-awareness and patience matter more than your resume

Still One of the Best Talks I’ve Ever Done | Dutch Bros 2017 keynote/Q&A May 21, 2025

Show notes

I’m bringing you one of the most impactful keynotes I’ve ever done—my 2017 Q&A with the Dutch Bros Coffee team in Portland, Oregon. It’s been a fan-favorite for years and I totally understand why: the energy, the heart, the realness in this room was just unreal. No fluff—just practical, emotional, and deeply honest takes on leadership, burnout, ambition, and what it really means to care.

This wasn’t just a speech—it was a back-and-forth with some of the most passionate people I’ve ever talked to. Managers, baristas, social leads, and young hustlers all brought the heat with their questions—and I gave them everything I had.

💡 If you're trying to build culture, lead people, grow your brand, or just find your next gear in life, this is a must-listen.

We talk about:

Why most leaders screw up motivation (and what I do instead)
How to go from solopreneur to 800+ employees the right way
The underpriced value of empathy and listening
Real talk on firing fast, scaling culture, and staying patient
One of the most emotional moments I’ve ever had on stage… and why I’ll never forget it

This is pure gold—let’s get into it.

The EXACT Formula I Use to Grow Businesses with Organic Social Content | GaryVee Possible Keynote/Q&A May 14, 2025

Show notes

This one’s for the marketers, brand builders, and business leaders still clinging to yesterday’s playbook. In this high-energy keynote and raw Q&A from the POSSIBLE conference, I’m throwing punches—at outdated marketing models, bloated ad budgets, and the creative delusion plaguing our industry.

We’re in the Interest Media era now. Organic creative IS the strategy. If you’re not over-investing in social content, you’re being outflanked by companies that didn’t exist a year ago.

No more disguising bad creative with fat media buys. In 2025, if it doesn’t hit organically, you don’t spend a dollar promoting it. Period.

👊 This is a call to ditch the delusion and start telling the truth—internally and externally.

We talk about:

Why organic relevance is the new reach
The broken Paid-Owned-Earned model (and what replaces it)
How agencies are losing ground by playing defense
Why your $800K campaign flopped—and a 5K TikTok didn’t
Social strategy for CPG, B2B, the gray market, and everything in between
The future of podcasting, live commerce, and AI influencers
Common sense in marketing... and in life

🎯 Whether you're an agency exec, solo creator, Fortune 500 CMO, or a startup founder—this episode will either challenge or validate you (maybe both).

The Future of Marketing, Regret, and Human Truth | GaryVee Fireside Chat May 12, 2025

Show notes

I’m getting deep on this one—this is a raw and reflective talk I gave recently, and it goes way beyond business. I touch on what it means to simplify your life, how gratitude and guilt have driven my success, and why judgment is the killer of potential.

We also talk about:

The massive shift coming when glasses replace phones
Why the scariest thing isn’t failure—it’s regret
Parenting, personal growth, and how fear shaped me as a kid
How humility is the secret weapon for speed and success
And why materialism might be destroying your happiness

This episode is real. It's emotional. It's about business, yes—but it's even more about you. If you’re stuck, if you’re overwhelmed, if you’re scared to post or take the leap… this one’s for you.
