Advice to a Young Man That Many of You Need 

Takeaway: you don't have to act like you know everything in your 20's, document and put in the work. Truth above what feels good.

1st BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: "Ideas are shit, Execution is the game" you are dead right about how lots of us are being caught up in the thinking process, wondering, planning strategies instead of just doing. Which brings me to changing my perspective about creating content from the top down instead of building from the bottom up. That just blew my mind. 2nd BIGGEST TAKEAWAY: Making the decision of being REAL to myself instead of trying to be someone I wish I was. Sharing my process from the place I´m at instead of the place I wish I was. Just being honest with myself and start from there. I was just talking about making the decision of fully committing to my instincts of what feels right for me right now, which is fully committing to my RU-vid Channel, a project that I love and that is actually starting to grow; instead of what I think was the best or what had to be according to society, and then this video came across. Life is a very beautiful thing. Thank you for sharing yourself, Gary.

"stop trying to create and start documenting" was such a lightbulb moment for me. So freaking simple... just document the process, fall in love with the process and show the world the reality of your work. People can smell bs a mile away, your "front" can only last so long... Gonna go get some!

My biggest takeaway : I have followed your content Gary and I’ve struggled with it and it has left me uneasy often. Today watching this video, I realised that the reason I struggle with it, is because you leave me with no choice but to look at myself, to truly challenge my actions rather than just my hopes, dreams and ideas. Appreciate you and your humility to share your knowledge.

“People aren’t starting, they’re just not making. they’re thinking! they’re pondering. They’re strategizing. They’re debating. The difference between people like me and the far majority, I’m just doing it all times. “

We procastinate so much about getting everything right all at once not realizing we are not getting anything done at all. Thanks Gary Vee

Watching 5 years later 1 - Always Show up 2 - Execute 3 - Talk it, walk it 4 - Know your strengths/ weaknesses 5 - Worry about yourself before others 6 - Hard work always pays off, may take us down paths not expected. It always pays off. Great content, Great comments. l

Takeaway: " Ideas are shit, execution is the game" - that hit hard when you said it. Also the importance of self awareness vs who I aspire to be. This whole episode was full of learning.

Gary: How old are you? Somebody: 90 Gary: Perfect

“Don’t try to oversell yourself. It’s smarter to talk about the process your going through than give advice.” Thanks Gary Vee!

"Knowing yourself instead of knowing the person you wish to become" That resonated with me. Ive realized that I need to use my skills and scale up from there. It's was like waking up in a jungle when I realized this. I had to figure out where I was, what I have, what I need. In short, I'm feeling better than ever. I love the process more and have a clearer view of what I need to do. 👌🏾

''The journey of the climb'' is what I took from this video - it really hit home for me... I was a documenter on social media, built a following and also a multiple 6 figure business with organic traffic, got hit so bad mentally after a business partner ran off with all our profit money that I had such a hard time recovering mentally. Luckily because I had an audience I managed to build my life from ground zero all over again to half a million USD within a year, but despite all this I really want to redocument my life all over again and struggling with where to start. I guess I just need to restart anywhere, I can just talk about the journey my mental state took, where I am at, and what we my partner and I are doing to take it to $1 million within the next 6 months.

"Talk is shit, execute is the game" clap clap clap

Biggest takeaway: stop thinking about the things you want to do and start doing them. Do. Constantly. You'll figure it out.

After watching this I truly understand why Gary believes so deeply in Self-awareness . It’s literally the summary of everything said in this video.

Thanks for this, Gary! I have 3 takeaways: 1. Know/be yourself (for real) - I live most of my life struggling to be the person I want to be vs. living in the reality of who I am and growing from there. 2. Ideas are shit; execution is the game - I have a ton of ideas that I either talk myself out of or get lost in the details of them and never move forward. 3. Document vs. Create - I get too much in my head about creating "cinematic pieces of art" (see point 2) instead of creating snippets of my life or documenting seasons of my life. Documenting puts it in a smaller, much more achievable box. Then as my skills increase, perhaps the art comes later. But nothing happens without doing something! It's been five years since this content was published. I wonder how things turned out for this young man.

One of the main points that resonated with me was the fact that so many people out there "aren't starting." There is too much thinking, planning, and worrying going on. You have to start at some point if you're going to go anywhere. I liked that you touched on just getting started and letting things fall into place. If you're "really real" with yourself and "don't front" you are setting yourself up for exponential growth by default. I think it is important to expand on the premise of momentum. We all need it. It's not up for debate. I am a young person and I see far too many intelligent and intellectual minds go dormant because they're not STARTING. Today is the first time I've listened to you , Gary, and I'm glad I did. I am looking forward to experiencing the content you have available.

“Finding money isn’t the problem, it’s really not” (ad comes on) this is genius

Literally watching this five years after it was created. Idk where I even start! What I really took out of the video was working on yourself first and getting your things together is where it all starts. I’m so pumped for life watching this content!

My takeaway watching this today as a 18 year old, is that taking care of the internal first and developing self-awareness is most important. That's something I've been struggling with moving out into a new city and trying to pave my own path.

Biggest take away: People say funding is the hard part but when you give them money, they don’t know that they want to sell.

One of the main points of this video that connected with me was to "discover yourself" and accept who your are and work with it.

Biggest fucking take away from this video is understanding who you are VS. who you wish you were. I have been watching videos of yours for around 4 hours straight now and have noticed that pops up a whole hell of a lot. That is something that I feel most people do not even think about putting into the front of their minds because they don't actually know that they need to confront themselves with that. I am planning out, outlining, and researching starting up a pod cast in the next week and hearing that quote from you immediately made me confront a numerous amount of truths about myself that I have blocked out for years and years. You are exactly who you are and in every video of yours I have ever watched that has not changed at all. I respect the shit out of you for that. Thank you for all the information and no bullshit mentality that bring with it. It has been and remains refreshing.

I love how you guided this young man who at the start seemed pretty scattered and undefined, and through the course of the interview you were able to get him to create the “container”.

1. Know yourself 2. Show the fuck up 3. If you cannot create, distribute or facilitate

The biggest take away for me was "Do you know yourself, or do you aspire to be something you might actually not be?" There's so much I want to do, so I spend a lot of time learning about it. Just reading and seeing and consuming. When I want to make something though, I end up keeping the thoughts in my head. In the case of art (painting, drawing, animating), I can create these gorgeous images in my mind, but refuse to move them into a physical media because "I'm not good" and "It takes too much time". Same thing for music, or writing, or whatever it is I'm currently interested in. As you said, I'm just not making. Only thinking, pondering, strategizing, and debating. Trying to find the short path to victory (reference to another video). I truly believe there is a short path, but I have to make that path by first taking the long path. This long path is very difficult to find. Where's the starting point? How do you become a master of all trades, jack of none? So, here I am, just stuck in my own echo chamber. And I don't know how to break it. Everyday I'm pushing back what I want to create under the pretense that I'm "learning". So many videos... so many articles... and it only makes me knowledgeable not skillful. I know that skill is more valuable, but my will is not strong enough yet to just do it, whatever it may be. Hopefully soon I'll break it. Just need to find the purpose.

I love how you recommended 25 pieces of content a day, and shifting the mindset to documenting. There’s so many things I process through in a day that I can make relevant. But, I’ve been overlooking. Simple advice, but dope!

I just started a RU-vid video folder and named it “Gary Vee Movement 👊🏼” I don’t know HOW I am just now learning about you but, I am so thankful I found your content finally on YT. I strive for the hard brutal truths in life as well as give it. I am still re-learning myself as I had brain surgery 9 years ago but never gave up on driving my friends & family crazy with being outside the box in life not wanting to work a 9-5. I always have beat to my own drum just now it’s differently. After the good ole pandemic everything went digital which being a graphic designer this made what I imagined 9 years ago would be a blessing for me now a true reality. Now is the time for me to step up which brings me to my biggest takeaway… document everything! I been wasting time before now trying to figure out how to create and what to say when I just need to start documenting my damn journey. 🙌🏼 Such GOLD & Fire!

Best advice found in This video: Document, distribute, facilitate. “Don’t punish yourself.”

The main takeaway is: Be thoughtful, always tell the truth and be yourself! Understand the difference between who you are and who you think you want to be.

Every second of your journey is a valuable moment in your process that should be documented. Showing up as you are and being your unique self is the key to producing content that will help create an audience that resonates with your content. Overtime people will begin love and respect you for your authenticity. Thanks Gary👌🏾 I needed to hear this💯💯

Get to know yourself better than anything. I’m 33, had a major life change, and I was lost, but coming to the realization that I didn’t know myself was huge. The process has been 2.5 years and it’s been ups and downs and plenty of struggle, but I’ve loved the process. The best parts are when I truly feel lost and confused or have a obstacle to overcome, because right after that with persistence comes answers. Thank you Gary Vee for being an inspiration, keep spittin knowledge ✋🏽

The one thing that REALLY affected me was: Focus on yourself before building a team. That shit was POWERFUL!

"Document vs Create". "Ideas are shit, execution is the game". The amount of ideas I'm sitting on, the amount of excuses why I'll do it tomorrow...

What I loved here was how you told him to focus his content on his journey of finding his own voice and how to express it to others. That is so relatable to EVERYONE because everyone struggles with truly being themselves all the time. I loved this video so much.

I could really relate to many of the questions and I think that my biggest takeaway is that I don't have to start putting together a team yet but, I should improve myself and take time to understand where I want my ideas to go. Also, the idea of "document" made me realize that I could be using my time much more effectively.

Takeaway: There's money everywhere. You just have to provide value.

If theres one thing I learned out of every Gary Vee clip is that fucking everybody's trynna do this shit man, it takes a lot more than just trying to mentally manifest, and action is the only thing that gets shit really moving forward.

I'm 22 and this is the best advice I ever heard, I'm so glad that I have a chance to reach my future aspirations knowing there is still time to get where I want my future self to be!

Gary you are such a inspiration to me. Because of you I started EXECUTING and made my RU-vid channel. I started putting out entertaining content, giving value and I stopped giving a fuck about what my parents think and threw out everything holding me back. I plan on creating better and better content and patiently see my channel grow. Thank you so SO fucking much.

"People aren't starting. They're pondering; they're thinking; they're strategizing." Wow. That's insightful. As a content creator, I do often think about how to put out quality on Instagram and Tumblr and Twitter. This video really changed my perspective.

Take away: there are so many ideas and content that can be utilized from people around you. We don’t have to struggle with creating our own completely unique content. Over complication stops execution, which is of utmost important to move forward in any aspect of your life. Extremely insightful and motivated. As always thank you 🙏.

This man honestly never lies! Ain’t nobody I’d be more confident taking advice from! 💎

This video made me write my first comment on RU-vid ever and I am 24 years old. Thank You for the words Gary.

it's November 2019 and i'm 69 years old - We did not have all this internet HELP when I was going through " The School of Hard Knox " You people should listen to this guy as i just finished watching 2 of his videos and i think he is sharp. P.S. First time to ever comment.

Stopping procrastination and get it done are alot of people's problems in this world that has kicked the shit out of alot of good people. Gary your the shit bro I love your content and the way you generally give it to everyone straight no Bs.

To find and be yourself. It has always been a struggle through my life allow myself to be authentic. I am different, and only in the last few years i have been able to open my eyes that that is a really good thing. Know who you actually are and be that, not who you wish or want yourself to be. Very impactful video.

Always Overthinking everything. By far the hardest hitter here : "Document vs create". Eye opener... that's for sure

14:25 "they're just not making. they're thinking. they're pondering. they're strategizing. they're debating." this gave me chills and I know why, haha. tnx, Gary.

The biggest thing that stuck with me was the interview idea! The one thing I love about your videos is you never tell people exactly how to do things! but you give the best information, to inspire people with the knowledge to adapt it to their scenarios if they are willing. As a mountain bike shop, if 1 of us goes riding every Saturday to interview someone on the trail, people will be hearing advice from real people riding whatever they have at whatever level they ride! Honest advice from real people! Free content for us whilst providing a service and increasing brand awareness.~ Thanks Gary!

U might not even see this comment anymore it’s been 5 years since the video. Loved it nonetheless. Loved the idea of facilitating, to me it turns into an idea of building a community and relationship hence becoming more valuable and building myself up based on the connections feedback and hands on experience. Thanks Gary ! All the best to u.

"When you can't create, distribute"

Biggest Takeaway: This entire video reminded me not to be afraid of the world. Not in that I'm allergic to the sun or something, but in that it reminded me that there is nothing wrong with just going out and talking to people, embracing the surroundings we're given. The world is big and small all at the same time, and crazy things can happen to you on a daily basis, it's really just about allowing them to happen. Rather than shutting myself inside for a day worrying about how I'm going to be successful, I needed to remember that success requires action, talking, exploring, doing- not just thinking.

Look man, from this video, and many other videos that you put out, the one thing I hear and relate to is the fact that you need to figure out yourself before you can have a team. Get your shit together before you worry about anything else. That is my ultimate struggle. I'm 33 and still don't have a grasp on who I am, while at the same time struggling financially and mentally, trying to build a brand and nothing seems to come together because I just don't have myself together, which becomes very disheartening. Thank you for your inspiration my man!

Gary man, so good. All right the main takeaways are just be myself, quit trying to look good on camera, quit overthinking everything, putt in the reps, have the self awareness to know what the hell I'm good at and then get out there and document the journey. There's nothing wrong with it not being polished or flowing the way that I perceive it should. Just let it be, but keep refining my craft, keep listening to my inner message, keep expressing authentically and giving what I believe to be my gift or my true talents. Don't be afraid of the work, always improve by learning constantly about my industry and every aspect of it and then share it to the world. Thanks man I'll see you someday in person

ideas are shit, execution is the game. damn, that stuff just changed my life. thanks

I look at it like this. Whether its life, friendships, relationships or just creating something in general, its about building a fire. I know so many people that throw a log down, put lighter fluid on it and toss a match on top and expect long term warmth or brightness. I'd like to say that if you're gonna build a fire that you want the whole world to see and have warmth by, you're gonna need consistent additions of the little things. The little things would be kindling. Every day/week going out in the woods and finding the twigs and branches, coming back to the fire and adding them. Every once in a while though you will come across something big like a log to add, which is obviously needed. But remember to tend to your fire, nobody else will. For everybody that does build their fire, there's 100 others who left the fire behind for the river of the status quo. Protect your dreams, protect your fire. - Bert Lauderdale

Nobody has got anywhere without hard work, worrying about the destination so much is only going to delay the journey. Appreciate the journey and realize that whatever spot you’re in happened for a reason and it’s just a part of your journey. Try using structure and execute instead of trying to spontaneously manifest ideas. “Ideas are shit, execution is the game”. Very blunt and real video

Taking this to heart. Starting now. Don't create, document..7-25 pieces a day. Seemed impossible until that piece of advice surfaced. What an amazing way to word it to really make it seem tangible. 💪🏼💪🏼

"tell the truth, talk about your journey."

Biggest takeaway - talking about the journey and the climb can be a winner - you don't have to be polished and acting as if you know everything - authenticity as to who/where you are is 👍🏼

Document vs create, recently open my own business. I’m a mechanic and I like showing the work I do and how I do it. One so people can trust me but also we live in era where seeing a video might make you want to chose some one or something over another. That spoke volumes to me.

1 takeaway: “if you want to be respected and well known, you have to show the fuck up!” This is 🔑!! If you want to be someone, ppl have to know who you are. And you have to know who you are. Im working on it and love it man. Thank you Gary Vee!

Ideas are shit... execution is everything

Two things. Execute and don't punish yourself. When you constantly execute you don't have the time to punish yourself.

I took away the same thing I always tell people I am good at. Executing the plan is the key to success. I listen to peoples plans all around me and when I find the right people with the right plans I always find the path to money. Love Gary’s view point. I am very like minded to him. I just don’t operate in the public eye.

The thing I took away for you video is not wasting a week ,making each a topic and go from there timing is key and there’s always a way to make it in any industry. I subscribed today because I’ve seen a few clips are you are real and to the point .

"Shit is subjective" changed my life

The #1 one thing that really struck home with me from this video is The Truth. I think it's sooooooo easy to pick up on someone's vibe when they're being fake. When they're pretending. When they aren't being real with their audience. But when someone tells the truth, and talks about their EXPERIENCE and the struggle and the journey, and they show their PASSION for what they're trying to do, people feed on that. That fires people up and gets them excited for their own journey's, and also for yours. It makes people want to cheer for you, because a lot of the time being honest and sharing The Truth is hard. So when you put yourself out their where a lot of people are too afraid of, people naturally want to cheer for you and see you be successful, because deep down that's what they want for themselves. They want to see you be a success, so your journey can prove to them that THEY can do it. So when you started talking about The Truth, Gary, goosebumps erupted across my body and it made so much fucking sense to me. I know I already knew this, but your words helped make it 100% fucking clear. I knew this was an important video for me to watch. I could feel it. And it's made me so fucking excited to bring my content and journey to the next level. The #2 things is showing up. Being active. Putting out content. Posting on Snapchat and IG all the time. Documenting over creating. Letting other's create your content when you're not feeling up to it. So much good stuff said. Thank you Gary!

I like when you said in interviews you say things or ask questions and pay attention to the response. The way people respond especially to critical criticism is very telling.

Ideas are shit. Execution is the game.

The strong point that I took away from this video is that when your working to get anywhere you need to show up. I play football and when I dont want to put in the work, I don't show up. But after watching this I realized that I can't do that. I need to show up to everything. Whether it's in season or not. If I want a starting position I'm going to need to put in that work and get off my lazy fucking ass and "show the fuck up". And I'll use this for everything too. I'll use it for school, sports ect. This is the point you need to get across to all the people that watch your shit. Cuz most people (like me) want a better life but they stop trying after a few week go by.

That I don’t have to be the sole content creator 100% of the time. The distribution/facilitation of other people that can produce quality content is just as vital to the growth of the brand. Thank you Gary. Im new to your community, but I fuck with everything that comes out of your noggin. ✌🏻

The MAIN THING I took from this video is how valuable (and easy/natural) documenting is and thru that telling a story in a truthful & vulnerable way. It sparked great ideas!

"Work on yourself" That's a major key

Biggest takeaway: Do no try to oversell yourself. It is smarter to talk about the process you are going through than to give an advice. That will get you more attention.

watching this video in 2022 as a 23 year old.. and to answer your question at the end, the most important take away is the part where you say, most people just aren’t doing, they’re waiting they’re pondering etc. and I find myself waiting and overthinking too much and letting time pass me by.. thank you for this video!

Loved it how you were able to read right throught the person sitting infront of you went you told him he need it to work on himself first before trying to build a team and the Document not create really applied to me so great video aand advise you provided, Cheers Gary!!

I lost my job during this pandemic and I decided to start a motivational channel to keep others strong. Wish me well 🙏

when u said don't think just do. my problem is that I try to strategize too much and end up not doing anything because I'm so meticulous about how something should be done. then I get discouraged from even doing it. so basically I need to just do

I’m watching this video five years later, and it is still so extremely relevant. What I grasped from this meeting was not overextending yourself creatively or production wise.

Takeaway: Document the process and execution is the game. Those two go hand in hand and they promote practical application of the knowledge we gain so that we see real growth and progress. Thank you Gary. 🙏🏿

My biggest takeaway was for your followers (largely in the teen, 20's, 30's age group I imagine) to document and interview their process. I'm 52, and I'm just now hitting my groove on who I really am. This just popped up on RU-vid, didn't realize it's a couple years old. Great bit, Gary. Unlike many of your followers, I'm a 52 year old who got into BMX bikes in the 80's, as BMX freestyle was being invented. While you were rockin' your baseball cards, I was rockin' mid 80's "social media," I started a zine that led to a job at FREESTYLIN' magazine in less than a year. I didn't totally click with those guys, so I got laid off and replaced by a 17-year-old kid BMXer/skater kid named Spike Jonze. True story, ask him. But I was in the BMX/skateboard industry, found other jobs, and wrote, shot photos, and made videos and pioneered a bit in those areas. But it didn't make me truly happy. Gary, I know there's a philosophical level beyond what you teach, true happiness in life, happiness under any circumstances, comes to few. But you are getting a lot of young people to go out, kick some ass, make shit happen, and begin the process of truly finding themselves. That's big. Those journeys are worth documenting in today's world. I've been through several years where "winning" was simply surviving, not as crazy as your grandma living in the woods in Belarus, but a time where outside influence kept a lot from happening. Surviving those years hammered me into a better person, and really helped me find what I'm truly all about at a very deep level. I'm working myself out of homelessness at the moment, but my blog's got 53,000 pageviews in 15 months, long form stories of those early BMX days, and what I learned from them. I'm operating from a much different level than in my zine in 1985, and I watch a lot of your content so this old dog can learn the new tricks in the new media world. Thanks for the stuff you do. Keep rockin' it.

It was so simple and I never even realized it but when you said ppl always complain that they don't have money but if somebody was to give them money for whatever it was they wouldn't know what to do with it that really blew my mind

Yes! Thankyou so Much Mentor Gary 😊 my Best Take away for me is Be Your Self And Do What you Are Passionate about. ❤️

“Document vs. Create” is a huge takeaway for me. I will have ideas for videos I want to post just vlogging stuff in my life and then I talk myself out of posting them. I keep thinking “no one really cares about this. I’m not doing anything very interesting,” but I know I need to and should post. Just hearing you give the reassurance that everything I post doesn’t have to be so novel or extremely creative is reassuring.

Document when you are struggling to create! That's genius!

Gary Vaynerchuk slinging another reality check for free. This dude will be a legend.

The best piece of advice that I took away from this video was the podcasting comment at the end. I've just ordered a microphone today and am in the process of starting my own podcast and when you said, "podcasts work because they interview other people" I went omg that's fucking genius. Thank you Gary you're a legend.

ive been spending a lot of time recently listening to your speeches and they have helped me put a lot more things into perspective. The realization of what I need to do in order to get to where i want to be and that i need to put my head down and put the work in

It's smarter to talk to the world about the process of going through this, then the advice that you think should giving them. Golden nugget!!!!

My Takeaway: Work on myself first before building a team (Patience, slow and steady)! I'm 31 and wasting time is over. I started putting bits and pieces together since 25 on what path to take. I work at a warehouse, phone sales as well as network marketing now, 1 kid and 1 on the way.. I've watched tons of vids on sales and mlm, heard the name Vaynerchuk and knew I would get to you some day and here I am. Couple of vids in and I'm loving the truth! If you ever get to Norway, I would love to get my brain picked and vice versa! Much love! Ben

Man, great interview and exchange of ideas gary. I love watching you talk to people because your focused on them and the whole time your analyzing them… their responses, body language, delivery, posture, etc. we miss soo much valuable info when we dont take all of that in and just hear their words. You get in the moment with them. When you said you dont have to creat just document… thats gold man in sooo many ways. Just the word create puts a sense of pressure on people to perform and work super hard to make something up. Im like you in that I theive on unscripted interactions that are just real. When its unscripted it goes where it should naturally because there is no expectation or framework to follow. It actually drives me crazy when i watch video that have fancy editing and intros and outros and transitions… it takes away from the raw content!! Then all you hear from content creators is how longbot takes and how much work it is… if an interview is 30 minutes long it should take 30 minutes plus the time it takes to upload, thats it! Let the message speak and dont distract people with fancy equipment, stupid lighting and backdrops. The worst is when “content coaches” teach others how to do all this BS too. The actual message almost always gets lost or watered down. I genuinely hope you have a great day Gary 🤙.

I think the emphasis on not overselling yourself is very important. You asked what he wanted and he provided this long list of nice sounding things like "I want to make meaningful content". You make it very clear in this video with your body language as well as addressing it directly how you feel about this. Would love a extension of just that!

Gary, for me it was the statement you made about "being fucking real." That's how you get the attention. Don't put out content that all cookie cutter. That resinated with me well. I am 41 years old, and I have been watching your youtubes and listening to your podcast. I woke up this morning at 4am and sat my desk feeling like shit. However, I realized I need to get connected. This video definitely got me moving my ass and stopped me from feeling sorry for myself and worrying about shit. Most importantly, as you mentioned to the young man, "before you start building a team, you need to know yourself, and get yourself together first." I am a certified PMP, and I was inspired by the advice that you gave a gentleman during one of your daily Vs about developing content at scale..."you need 5 things, audio, video, designer, writer, and the top a PM..Project Manager / Architect." I am a retired Army Vet, and former Green Beret. I am working on an app (PMP Exam Hacks - Pocket Mentor) to help aspiring project managers prepare for the PMP exam and obtain their PMP certification. I've been working on it for the past 3 weeks, with a DEV TM aboard, and so far things are going as planned. I am doing shit, but I don't have all the answers. ??? Which of your RU-vids should I watch to help with this process??? Thanks for putting out real shit!!

Perfect example of "People aren't starting. They're pondering; they're thinking; they're strategising." is me sitting here holding back from commenting because I don't think anyone will see it. Im a total sucker for this exact line and I'm admitting it. I'll tell everyone here right now that I will kick it square in the face from this moment forward. Fuck it!! Ive been chasing my Dream of becoming a Professional Drifter for years now. Having competed successfully around the world and even winning the China Drifting Championship last year. Ive now received my PRO licence into the USA to go up against the best in the world. The one thing holding me back from getting over was money. Money was holding me back.... I AM HOLDING ME BACK! Like you are saying, the money is out there but you just need to know how to get it. I'd spend days behind this laptop chasing sponsorship, trying to sell myself and give exposure ratings for everything I do and have done. Always pondering, thinking, strategising my next move and not ever attacking it! Ive recently started vlogging my journeys to show exactly what I get up to around the world and even in my home state. It has been successful in my eyes and has helped motivate others to push for what they want. How ever Im still finding myself behind the laptop chasing those sponsors that either give me no response or a big fat NO! Time to get off the laptop which I spend hours upon hours chasing sponsorship deals, when I should be focusing on my content!! Just doing ME!!! This is what I'm taking away from this Gary and I appreciate this video more then you would think. Would love to get your email so I can show you where Ill be in 30 days from now because everything changes from this moment forward!!! Love your work mate! Respect -Squid

Brooo gave him an opportunity of a lifetime! number one take away for me way was really the “document instead of create” trying to consistently create meaningful content sucks the creativity away. Capitalize on your weak points by documenting yourself turning them into strengths 🤯

One big thing I got from this was about how you/Gary shows how kuch you need to just do things. Stop thinking about what to do or how,why,when,where all that shit and just do stuff. Go out and talk to people, take pictures of random stuff. Just do shit instead of laying around being upset and feeling sorry for yourself. Take risks, do what you want not what asshole around you say you 'need' to do because it's what they did! Be yourself and show people that you can do whatever you want if you put your mind to it! Thank you Gary!

You stated this is a message for "young people." I am 44 years old and you made me realize that I am still young. This is so opposite of what I have in my head, which is "I am 44, I am not young, I should be already successful and accomplished, living the dream.” I have since my early 20’s lived from life crisis to life crisis. I have got to figure out how to embrace this. This is who I am, someone who has dealt with life crisis after life crises. I may have to refer to my personal brand as “Life Crisis Carey” and expand on that that. I have so many stories to tell. When I do tell my stories, people tell me that they could write a book based on my stories. Man, I have a story to tell. Why don’t I write my story on social media? Damn you good Gary!
