Podcast: The GaryVee Audio Experience

If you’re trying to turn your side hustle into your main thing but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted… this one’s for you.Destiny’s been grinding—working a full-time 9-to-5 while building her hair extension business on nights and weekends. But when she came on the show, it was clear she needed a mindset reset more than a marketing plan. I broke it all down with her—why burnout might be coming from the wrong kind of hard work, how to maximize the real hours you have, and why posting on social media is the absolute non-negotiable for growing your biz.

If you’re still sleeping on LinkedIn in 2025, this is your wake-up call 🚨I’ve been shouting this for a while — the amount of organic reach and business opportunity on LinkedIn right now is insane. In this keynote from a recent Vegas conference, I break down why LinkedIn is behaving like Facebook did back in 2013… and why it’s a massive miss if you’re not capitalizing on it.I get tactical — what kind of content actually works, how to show up if you're camera shy, and why building a brand is way more powerful than your next cold call. This is about long-term brand over short-term sales. If you're trying to grow your business, hire better people, or finally land that dream investor, this one’s for you.

If I were starting from scratch in 2024, here’s exactly how I’d approach social media marketing 💡There’s so much confusion right now around what platforms to focus on — especially for beginners. In this episode, I map out the different paths depending on what you sell, who you're selling to, and what kind of creator you actually are. B2B? Start on LinkedIn. Selling merch? Focus on TikTok. Don’t love video? I even give you a strategy using only photos and written word that can still crush.I also get into how to find underpriced attention, how to think about format changes when your content’s not hitting, and the one thing most people get wrong about "being known."This one's for the doers ready to make 2024 their breakthrough year 🚀

This Tea episode was wild—in the best way possible. I went deep with a bunch of callers on everything from building personal brands to battling imposter syndrome, choosing between buying a house or opening a dream pizza shop, and even bouncing back after Etsy shut down a six-figure store.If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared to start, or unsure which way to go—this is the episode for you. There’s a ton of real advice in here, but more than that, it’s energy. It’s fire. It’s the push you need to stop overthinking and start moving.We talk about:Why "perfect" content is killing your momentumThe truth about followers, DMs, and your first 13 fansWhether college still makes sense (especially if you're creative)AI, brand building, and the future of searchWhat to do when life punches you in the face—and how to fight backThe pizza shop vs. house debate (and why offense always wins)How to grow leads with local ads and repurposed contentWhy soft skills matter and how to find companies that actually care

2025 is here, and the game has changed 🧠📱In this episode, I go deep on one of the biggest missed opportunities in marketing today: turning viral content into actual conversions. Just because something got 4 million views doesn’t mean people are going to buy — but there’s a way to bridge that gap 👊I break down:The shift from social networks to interest-based algorithmsWhy Instagram feels impossible right now — and how to beat itMy exact strategy for content remixing: viral organic → high-performing adWhy LinkedIn is your best friend if you’re franchising or selling B2BMy big marketing regret around TikTok… and what I’d do differentlyIf you’re trying to sell more, grow faster, or just stay relevant in today’s marketing world — this one’s for you. Let’s build some brand performance together 🚀

Ever feel like you’re doing a lot but not actually getting anywhere?In this quick but powerful episode, I break down a new acronym I’ve been thinking a lot about: L.O.V.E.No, not the romantic kind — I’m talking about the four real drivers of progress:Learning. Observing. Providing Value. Executing.💥 I share why being curious beats being clever, how to actually bring value when you’re young (and not just say you do), and the brutal truth behind the phrase “I’m gonna…” — and why I hate hearing it.If you’re 22 and trying to figure it out, or 42 and needing a reset, this one’s for you.We talk about:Why learning is your superpower early onHow observation gives you the edge most people missWhat it really means to bring value to a boss or teamWhy saying “I’m gonna” is a trap — and how to replace it with “I did”How execution is the one thing most people run from🔑 If you’re tired of talking and ready to start doing — this episode will hit.🎧 Listen now, and share this with someone who needs a push today.📍 Follow the podcast here first:📌 @garyveeaudioexperience📍 Follow me here:📌 Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | TikTok | Twitter/X | YouTube
