Gary Vee: Live from Veecon 2023 Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

I am excited to share my sit-down interview with Gary Vee, live from Veecon 2023, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The team had to cut short my allocated 10 min timeslot due to the event schedule running late, so I did my best to hit him with 3 important and meaningful questions. This interview exemplifies how you work with what you are given and make the best of it. An opportunity is still an opportunity so make it count! I've had Gary on before (E155) and have had the luxury to dig into the super-important topics, so it wasn't that bad. In hindsight, I am even more proud that this is the output from only three minutes! Check it out and LMK your thoughts! Gary Vee x The POZ, live from Veecon 2023!
