- Do we have any content for today?
[3]
- [Other Tyler] Not really.
[3]
- Not really? Alright, let me do it.
[5]
Hey guys.
[6]
("Unstoppable" by This Is Wolff)
[27]
Hey guys. I know today's been
[28]
kind of a classic Monday.
[30]
Just a bunch of different
[31]
meetings and nothing too meaty for you so...
[34]
("Koroko" by Goatlife Beats)
[41]
So anyway, I think that, I think that
[43]
we can do cool cultural stuff
[45]
like, take a break week
[47]
where you work on different stuff.
[47]
Like just good stuff.
[50]
It's a great way for us to mix people.
[53]
So we create little four-person teams that
[55]
don't work together and that creates culture, right?
[58]
So there's some really,
[60]
I would probably pay to have four people
[62]
like a four person beta team.
[64]
Like creative, accounts, strategy, paid
[67]
Four people to work together for a week
[69]
that don't work together, I'd probably pay
[71]
to do that because I think it'd be positive
[72]
for our five year macro for our business
[75]
getting paid (censored)
[77]
for the weeks' worth of work is a good idea.
[80]
A, to be very frank, I love that.
[83]
I love that there's no hardcore obvious thing
[86]
that they can make an episode around.
[89]
I love that, Tyler. I love that you have nothing,
[91]
because it's just boring execution.
[94]
You know, this is the point of the vlog.
[96]
The point is people think entrepreneurship or success
[100]
is the bullshit photo of you at Coachella
[101]
or you on a private plane or you and your boys
[103]
or your girls champagne-ing it up.
[106]
The reality is 99% of successful entrepreneurship
[110]
is just like ax to the tree.
[113]
Just grinding like fucking milking the fucking cow.
[116]
Fucking milking the cow. Do you understand?
[119]
Thanks.
[124]
("Koroko" by Goatlife Beats)
[146]
- [Man] That's me. Okay. Awesome.
[147]
- Awesome. We'll be in touch.
[148]
- [Man] Sounds good.
[149]
- [Gary] It's not sexy.
[150]
It's not the thing that headlines are written about.
[153]
It's not what I'm going to put
[155]
on my fucking Snapchat. It's just the truth.
[158]
Like, meeting after meeting. Went up to a client
[160]
in White Plains, come back here.
[162]
Meeting, meeting, meeting, meeting,
[163]
meeting, meeting, meeting.
[165]
- Bro, he was like, why don't I send you the message?
[167]
I don't know it's just fucking exploring.
[169]
- Going through it, yeah.
[170]
- Even when I saw it bro,
[172]
I was just fucking like addicted to it,
[173]
you know what I mean? - Appreciate it, man.
[175]
- And you know, I'm a big believer everything happens
[177]
for a reason when it does.
[178]
- Yeah. If you just DM that person, be like awesome--
[181]
- Right, right. Yeah.
[183]
- Then they'll be like holy shit,
[185]
Like it will open up shit all of a sudden
[187]
when you do that and you do awesome as a Giants punter,
[191]
whether they know you or not.
[193]
Next thing you know, couple months from now,
[195]
they're doing a meeting with you.
[196]
- [Brad] Right, right. Yeah, yeah.
[197]
- You know what I mean?
[198]
That's what I'm good at. I'm good at looking at shit
[199]
and being like, okay. - [Brad] Yeah.
[201]
- [Gary] It's all the off the field shit.
[202]
- Yeah, oh absolutely.
[203]
- Investing, the money.
[204]
- Well because your life's this long and
[205]
your football life's this long.
[207]
- 100 percent.
[207]
- So, do everything you can--
[208]
- Do me a favor.
[209]
- Yeah? - DM people.
[211]
- Yeah. - Do me one favor.
[213]
Take one piece of advice from me.
[215]
DM ten, every day, in the same way that you
[218]
fucking practice for three hours.
[220]
Ten DMs. Five to fans. Hashtag punter, hashtag giants.
[223]
- Yeah.
[224]
- Be like, yo thank, right? - Yeah.
[226]
- And five to just fucking people that
[228]
you want to get like. - Connect like you. Yeah.
[229]
- Yeah. - Right?
[231]
- Yeah. - Fucking work.
[232]
- Like, you should definitely do that.
[234]
- Yeah, I'll do that as soon as I leave here.
[235]
- Good. Alright. Keep me updated.
[237]
- Absolutely, Gary. I really appreciate this.
[239]
- Oh a real pleasure, man, yeah.
[240]
- Oh yeah, for sure. Absolutely. Thanks for everything, bro.
[241]
("Atani X Quel") by Goatlife Beats
[245]
- [Gary] Have a good day. See you later, bro.
[254]
- Like, you know to me
[257]
this is the best part of this episode
[259]
which is me looking directly in your fucking face
[261]
and telling you like great, I understand what you want
[264]
I understand what it looks like from afar
[266]
with all the people that are winning.
[268]
the truth is it's 99 percent of eating shit,
[270]
99 percent of milking cows,
[272]
99 percent of fucking axing trees.
[275]
It's the non-sexy shit that is the foundation
[279]
to successful entrepreneurship.
[284]
What can I help you with? Tell me everything.
[289]
I don't know if you know this but literally there are
[291]
Five to ten thousand applicants
[295]
for this job, these 30 jobs.
[298]
So it's like overwhelmingly humbling how many people want in
[301]
and so is there anything that I can answer for you?
[306]
Alright, 7:30, I've got two drinks meetings right now
[309]
One client, one with Ben Leventhal, CEO of Rezy.
[313]
Startup that we co-founded, but he's really
[316]
the man behind it all, him and his team, Ontar,
[319]
those guys. Anyway, we'll catch you up later,
[322]
I've got a little bit of a meeting that I think you
[324]
might be able to join later, but if not
[327]
this is it. Just another grinder
[330]
another typical Monday being an entrepreneur.
[333]
("Atani X Quel") by Goatlife Beats
[355]
(laughs) I'll see you later.
[363]
9:30 P.M., walking into a sushi business dinner
[366]
should get out of here around 11:30.
[368]
Another kind of classic 16 hour day.
[371]
You heard my rant earlier. Nothing too fancy.
[374]
had two productive meetings just now and
[377]
now with the very big idea meeting
[381]
and I know Babin's excited about so
[384]
lots of fun stuff.
[385]
Hope you're grinding on your stuff.
[387]
I appreciate your time. I was thinking a lot about
[389]
people allocating
[391]
12, 15, 20, 30, 47 minutes
[394]
for the last episode of peoples' time to my content.
[398]
Very flattered. I hope I'm bringing you the value.
[401]
Episode like this, I may not say something,
[404]
it may not be a detail like
[407]
the DM business development
[410]
or some motivational quote in a keynote,
[413]
but I really believe that this episode is
[415]
a perfect microcosm of the value of DailyVee.
[418]
Like, 98 percent of this
[421]
is not going to be memorable,
[424]
but it's the body of work of 27 years of watching
[428]
somebody grind 15 hours a day, that's why the thing happened
[432]
is an important lesson for everybody that thinks
[434]
shortcuts or systems or passive this...
[437]
There's no passive, there's no shortcut.
[440]
It's fucking hours and hours and hours of grinding.
[443]
Doing the right thing, bringing people value.
[445]
Rinse and repeat. Have talent, have a strategy,
[447]
work hard, work smart, day in and day out.
[450]
Monday night, 9:30 P.M.
[453]
What are you doing on a Monday night at 9:30 P.M.?
[456]
Are you about to walk into another two hour meeting?
[458]
By the way, if your ambition
[460]
doesn't speak to you having to be in
[462]
business meetings to 11:30 on weeknights
[464]
then that's great. Everybody has different
[466]
KPIs but make sure your actions back up your fucking mouth.
