Are you struggling with your social media likes, clicks, engagement?
thinking about social media and you should be thinking about it as interest media. And this podcast
“episode, I sit down with the goat. He's going to break down literally every single thing that you”
need to know about interest media. But we're going to go further. We're going to go deeper. We're
going to talk about some things that you've never heard Gary Vee talk about. This podcast is the one
you want to listen to. Buckle up. It's live. Gary, how are you doing today, brother? That's very kind, my man. Thank you so much. I'm doing quite well and I'm glad to be here. I'm on the honor when, man, you don't know how much you mean to me to my life to my businesses. Most importantly to my podcast, man. I started this podcast 18 months ago. So well before it became the number one self improvement podcast before it started doing crazy numbers, you were in my ear. And you said,
"Mick, if you're going to do a podcast, do it with purpose and do it like a business." Because so many
“people play. If you want to make impact, do it for real. So I owe you that man and no one knows that.”
I've never told you that. But that's why I do what I do because in my ear, you said,
run it like a freaking business or don't do it at all. Thank you, man. Thank you so much. I mean, you know, I'm in this great point in my career where it's, you know, I'm detached from it because, you know, as the great poet once said, "Never get high in your own supply," right? Like, I'm detached from what I know I've been able to accomplish. The humility comes very natural to me because I was well-mothered. But God, it feels really nice, man. Like, to really know that I'm putting
out stuff there for the last 15 years that people that have amassed more wealth, more fame, more happiness than I have on the backs of the content and the words that I've put out over the last decade and a half. It feels like a light-worth living and I hope God blesses me with another 50 years to keep building on it because it really is intoxicating to me. Those compliments, those words are dramatically more delicious to me than any of the fruits of my labor. There's no
private flight, there's no car or watch or vacation because it's family life. But there's very few things outside of my family that bring me more joy than those words and I'll tell you why because I actually think it's a bigger co-sign, hat-tip, flower to my parents, to New Jersey, to America, to good parenting than it is to, I'm the byproduct, my man. You know, I'm the byproduct of humble beginnings. You know, so thank you and I will pass those words on to my parents.
I love that brother. Tell him I said hello and speaking of your parents and your journey and all the generosity that you do, man, like you do so much for free, like so much. Just
hear some tips here so how you can do it. I always wanted to ask you like what's your
“be cause? What's your purpose that thing that's deeper than your why for doing the things that you do?”
Because I'm good. You know, it's you know, when you're full, you're not really eating everyone's food. You're not, you know, like when you're full, you're handing out food. You know, that's the real answer I talk about this concept of gratitude and guilt sometimes to that question. Because I do feel unbelievable grateful for, again, I started with it in prom too. The parents I had, especially my mom the way she raised me, being born in the Soviet Union coming to America,
living in a household full of love with no money. So by the time I was 10, it was ingrained in me that money had no impact on happiness. I'm so happy I grew up in the early 80s, 80s, 90s, in Edison and Jersey. I'm happy I went to Martin Luther King Elementary School. I'm sure for everyone listening knows that means I knew how to scrap. I knew how to play spades and sealo. Like I grew up with such humble beginnings and such diversity back to MLK. MLK was not just black kids,
black, white, Indian, Asian. I just, I have so much love in my heart. I grew up with all kinds of people, you know, I've, now that I'm 49, I've lived and been in the muck when I first came to America in a studio, apartment in Queens. I've been poor. I've been in the poor rooms. I've been rich. I'm in the richest rooms. And when you live a coast to coast life, whether you go from rich to poor, which is obviously incredibly challenging or from poor to rich, when you've seen happiness
and you've seen despair, you know, when you've seen light and you've seen darkness, you've clarity. And I do the things I do because when I started giving away all my information,
My wisdom, my hope, my happiness, and my best practices, I was already good, ...
You know, I was financially less successful on the AMT today at 31, 32 when it started happening,
but I was, I was equally happy, you know, and I was equally gracious and I was equally humble
“and I was equally hopeful. And the truth is, the last 10 years of the world, you know this”
given those beautiful words and then thankful for them. I have stayed me through every twist and turn, every twist and turn in my own life, but then even more hard when I look at public figures, the culture, and I don't mean black culture, which is actually the culture. I mean popular culture, culture, political culture, the atmosphere and our society has changed a lot in the last 15 years. Yeah. And a lot of people talked about optimism and love and now pontificate hate
in disguise of political views or strategy or bullshit. So, thing I'm most proud of is,
I'm consistent. I haven't been caught up when the left wanted me to left and when the right wanted me to right, I'm just right here in the fucking middle. I got love for everyone, life is complicated. I don't have the audacity to think that everyone should see the world the way I think. I'm blown away by people's audacity to think that everyone should see the world, the way they see the world. Yeah. So, I'm staying kind of in my pocket. I'm in my studio.
Even though I have no music skills, I think of it as like, I'm in my studio. I'm working. I'm writing, I'm making beats. I'm putting out music. I just do that in a different way. But I'm not trying to go to the red carpet. I'm not trying to go to a visa and party. I'm a true musician and without a musical bone in my body. I'm just in my fucking cocoon,
“spitting my words, building my businesses because I think that's important. If I'm going to”
pontificate about what to do, I don't want to be a professor. Yeah. You know, when I say do this, I did it. When I'm out there today, my morning post, everybody should do social shopping, live shopping, social media is about to be QVC. Well, I'm doing 100,000 a night selling shit on whatnot. Yeah. You know what I mean? So I think that's something else. I'm proud of. And you know, now you're running these circles. What's cool for me is before we started, we talked a little bit
about Damon. What I like about my life is I'm so fortunate that I have men like you saying what you just said. But what I know is that Damon knows me more and he likes me even more than that. Because he knows the shit I do behind the camera. Right. There's so many people that are their best selves in front of the camera. And they fucking disappoint you off camera. My best work is done when y'all don't see me. Yep. Yep. Absolutely, man. You know, it's the
same thing. I was just telling you Robert Irvine and I talked about you for a couple of hours. Not even trying to talk about you. You were just a part of the conversation. And we both said the most consistent, authentic person we know is Gary Vee. Right. And I call you in Robert was laughing, but he goes, you're right. I said, what I call Gary Vee is the inconvenient truth. Right.
He is always going to be consistent. He's going to tell you like it is. And you're going to learn
on everything that he says. Whether you're agree with it or not, which is I don't know why you would not agree. But you are the inconvenient truth, brother. You know what's funny? It comes from an interesting place. And I hope, you know, when I do something like this, I want people to get value. So let me tell y'all where that comes from that compliment. It comes from two very, very interesting things. One, it comes from intent. Mick, what makes me super different in hindsight,
I knew was happening along the way. And now it is just on wax, as they say, is I've never thought about anything I've done publicly from any other lens than the intent of why would this be good
“for Mick. I believe most of the content we consume in our streams. The person that's making it is”
making it for their best interest. Buy my course. Make me famous. I want your follow. I want to make money. So make me famous or buy my thing. Like, you can smell the intent. My intent has been, I'm going to give y'all everything I got. The shit I can charge unlimited amounts of money for if I had a master class, if I had an island, if I had courses, if I had mentorship programs, inner circles, I'm going to give you all better shit than the people at the top of the game that
do that shit. And yes, occasionally, I'm going to be like, oh, one of my dad's wine, you want to buy my collectibles. I'm going to have, I'm a business man. Right. But I have no expectation of anyone that extracts unbelievable value for my free shit. I do not expect them to buy a
Difference trading card or a white.
wine techs.com. But I said wine techs.com because I'd love for them to do it because it's my dad's
business and I want to help him always. And if they buy wine, don't buy it on bullshit, wine.com.
Buy it on wine techs.com. If I brought you value, but nothing I do is to then later get the thing.
“And that's why I'm who I am. And I think people forget that humans are animals. I think y'all can smell”
it. If I'm out here trying to fake it, if I'm here out fronting, because I really deeply just want you to buy X, I think most of us know it. Even the ones that are not that in tune, eventually they're going to know it. The other shoe always drops my man. Always. And so ay, why am I an inconvenient truth? Why am I consistent? Because my intent is consistent. The other reason I think I'm consistent or having convenient truths is I'm about that life. Meaning when I say I'm in my studio,
I often say I'm in my cocoon, which wild about me is I'm such a talker and I'm so out there.
But the reality is is almost all of my time is spent listening, not talking. When I come up
for air and do this podcast, it's on the back of fucking the last 8,000 hours. I've spent this
“year studying live social shopping, studying Sabrina Carpenter versus Netflix versus Andrew”
Schultz and Shengilus versus Lebubu versus Baggy Jeans versus Poppy Soda versus Netflix versus Hulu versus UFC. I'm a culture subant. Right. So I'm consistent because I don't talk, you know how they say there's that old saying that I like a lot like measure twice cut once. I'm so petrified to be wrong and lose equity. I'm out here measuring 45 times cut once. Yes. So by the time I'm going to talk about something, that shit has been fucking quadruple check. It's real. It happened.
I'm not guessing out here. I get a lot of extra credit for he sees around corners. He predicts the future. I'm like nah, I'm just in it day to day and I'm willing to talk about it faster than the most people because I'm in it day to day. I don't need nobody else's Gary being me. Y'all are Gary being me. I'm telling people things and then people are moving. The way I'm learning is not
from Johnny or Sally or some other person. I'm in the trenches with all 8 billion of you. Yep.
“And then I'm creating observations which I think makes me unique fresh because I'm not”
powering someone else. I'm in my own feelings. Yep. When I know substacks going to be big a year ago, I'm not going to see who's already talking about substack. If there's anyone talking about substack, I'm living substack and then I'll talk about substack which then makes my point of view original. I'm using music for some of the reason a lot in this interview. The people that blew us away Lauren Hill, Tyler the creator, like whoever, right? I believe that they're influenced by people
before them but what they did well was they stayed in their own pocket and they felt unique to us because they are unique to us. They still might have been influenced by Michael Jackson or Rita Franklin or Prince or Pink Floyd but they feel original because they are original and I think other artists come along and have commercial success but they listened too much. They copied prior people too much and so they were just half or 25% original which was good enough to give them
some pop and maybe even a hit record of this that but they're not the icons that changed it completely for us. I'm not saying I'm an icon or completely changed it for us but using your kind opening, I do understand why I've hit and now let me bring it for everyone who's listening. The more you're you. I'm going to say it nice and slow for the kids in the back. You can slow down your what is that thing you run on your treadmill right now or you can let your dog pee real quick
or you can pull over on the side of the road if you're listening right out. I need you to hear this. The more you're you and I mean all the way. Of course I've cursed twice Mac in this interview so far. It is not lost on me that 15 to 5000 people just decided okay I'm not with Gary Vee because I don't you know especially you grow up in the south you grow up with that kind of grandma like I respect that but I have no other year besides being me and I grew up in Queens and New Jersey
Cursing is every third word in our guys.
anything from you and Damon John it was this and it's just what you just said.
“Mick you are the brand. Correct. You're doing and whatever you're people I'm starting to”
wrap you and apologize we just happened two minutes ago. Two people today in my office asked me there are young kids who are interning who then going to go back to college and they want to build personal brands because you know every kid now wants to be famous right and like how how do I find my niche everything feels overcrowded and like everything is overcrowded. I'm like the only niche you have is you. We can end right now but we're not going to because again you and Damon both
18 months ago when I started the podcast and I was like all right I'm going to run like a business but I do so many things how do I figure out what's the angle what's the lane and Damon goes
Mick just be you just be the brand and then the things that you do or the services or products
that you some that you provide when I started doing those garage sale videos trash talk right
“yeah where I go out and spend 113 bucks buying a bunch of trash at garage sales and then show”
people that's worth 800 on eBay. I had billionaires the tightest the most famous people on earth that we all follow and think were the best business men and women literally reach out to me and say why are you doing this you're beat literally in yourself and I said the reason I'm doing it is because when I do podcasts like Mick and I talk about investing $25,000 into Twitter and it changing my life or things of that were Facebook or this I get a lot of DMs and emails saying
Gary B. I fuck with you but you know fuck you man I don't have 25,000 to put into Twitter I got $19 and Wells Fargo and after reading enough of those I'm like well guess what I had $19 and Chase Bank 2 one day when I was 20 getting paid nothing building my dad's business for him by the way not for me on Saturdays or Sundays or Friday afternoon I had to sometimes step out of the store real quick and go to a state sale of garage sale and buy something for 18 bucks and then
sell it on eBay for 109 because that was money to me. I said you know what I'm going to start making those videos so I'm driving around Jersey and fancy cars or sometimes even with a driver garage sale it why back to the beginning because I wanted to make content for people that have $90 to their name because I know and it's already happened I get that in 1718 19 before COVID there's not a month that goes by that I don't meet someone in the real world at a restaurant or at an airport where they
don't literally make literally come up to me open up their eBay app and show me they have $59,000 in there and they're like that's you bro I had nine dollars I was making eight bucks an hour at fucking Walmart and you made that video about garage sales and I've been flipping since and this is made my family be able to go to good vacations I could send my kids to private school because
“you like that's why I did I don't give a fuck if a billionaire thinks I'm a shrub because I'm”
going to a garage sale in fact I'd prefer them to think I'm a shrub. Yep the convenient truth every time every time big topic I'm just going to say the two words interest media hmm my menu because you and I are on the same vibe there I've been telling people for the past six months it's not social anymore now there's nothing social about anything you're doing on Instagram linked in Twitter or X whatever they call it now like there's nothing social about that no it's interest
yeah it's interest media you know there is something social the comments are still an incredible
opportunity that people are missing out on mec huge missed opportunity in fact watch this I'm going to throw a right hook for you everybody we take so many things for granted in life if you love what makes done for you with this podcast please take the time they'll take three minutes it would mean the world to me but I know even more for him please take three minutes right now and like close out or minimize or maybe at the end of this podcast don't forget and I know some of you forget
so jot it down please go to Spotify or Apple and leave with preferably a five-star review if you love this podcast but look if you think makes at a four-star level give them the fourth and make it true there might be a three-star person on here please leave a review that's social Nick right like if right now what I just did for you leads to a couple thousand people actually leaving a review on both of those platforms it's going to make you get more listeners so there
is some things left social if everyone who's listening here that wanted to grow actually replied to every comment on every Instagram post you would grow a lot so social still is out there now well you and I are referring to and what I've been yelling about for about three years and I kind of like got this term down now because it makes it very easy to understand is the algorithm doesn't work the same way social media for 15 years as you know I've said
This a bunch used to work like email marketing get as many followers as you c...
percentage of them will see it now literally mean you were cooking we're growing there's
somebody listening right now who's never posted once but they own three dry cleaners and you
know what they're like you know I want to be like making Gary too and they're literally going to be inspired by this little rant and they're about to make a video literally they're on their way to work right now literally they're going to make their first video telling the story of how they built these three dry cleaners and they're going to post it on TikTok and it might get 90 views but they might get a message that kind of gives them a little more juice and their ninth video they
make is going to get one million views lead to more business and they're going to be on their way to be us and that excites me and that's not how it was from 06 to call it 21 but that is how it is now followers are diminishing in your guaranteed to get views and awareness the content now is binding
“their audience let me give you a four instance if I make a video we talk about it I think before yeah”
we didn't talk about spades here we were talking about before we went on you and I are both passionate about spades if I make a video right now about spades okay like I love spades
like I know how to sneak it in you're never going to catch me you know I know what to do
I've got hand signals with my partner like we know what to do if I did that in 2017 to the audience I had it would be a low performing piece of content because people are like they're yeah occasionally they want a little randomness for me but they want their business stuff their motivation stuff today if I posted that on TikTok especially but more and more every other platform too that is literally going to show up in the feeds of people who don't even know who I am that
fuck with spades now it's going to show up to 12 or 15 people and if none of them react
“that it'll probably die pretty quickly and it will low perform but I made a video years ago”
that still gets brought up all the time of me talking about how much I love blueberries and that
I can eat blueberries better anyone and that video got 5 million views at the time when most of
myself was getting 500,000 and so that one just hit and that goes back to you are the niche that goes back to talk about what you love or you know and that is the truth of interest media now if you may content that is random that is true and honest or passionate to you it will find audience versus not now again don't get discouraged let's say someone got excited about what I just said and they made a post tomorrow about strategico the board game and the following day about
lasagna and the next day about run DMC and all three did way worse than the stuff they normally do I don't need a DM from y'all saying get rid of you wrong you lost it you're the worst you just did three
“if you do a hundred of them then I'm about that life then you can come and yell at me but I have a”
funny feeling on your road to a hundred something good's about to happen damn right damn right it is you know Gary I tell all my friends you're you personally are like my brother from another mother about a month ago we're on a live on what not right and a person I'm not gonna say their name in the comments was trying to go for sympathy and it went something like this Gary my company is ending remote work in the next nine months I don't think this is a great place because
we can continue to work from home we are just ineligible for raises in order to get a raise you're going to have to come back into the office no no my way me the company just to add color because I went crazy on this one too yes it's like about this up the company is moving to Florida from wherever they were obviously they're doing that because of the taxes and all the things happen but also we're living in this AI world the fact that this company said we're moving to Florida but all
of you get to keep your jobs and we're giving you a year's notice that we're moving and you get to keep your jobs and can be a hundred percent remote but as you can imagine because HQs in Florida the promotion cycles and the rising will be a little bit different and they're clowning on that I lost my shit shit dude I was writing down because if you didn't say anything I was literally going to go do an Instagram post about that because how freaking titled boozy of yourself how entitled
for you to be upset and I'm sure it's a six figure job that that person was complaining about even if it's a five figure job the here's where rat and you know this big and boy do I have a funny feeling knowing your audience of what you talk about like shit got soft out here and like do you want to see what our grandma's would think about the work ethic of our children our great grandmothers would be rolling in their goddamn graves that they understood what these
kids expectations and entitlement was we got soft and that's what empires do we need to be real
With ourselves in America and I'm not even talking about rich people like I'm...
the I'm let me go this route the average person that makes 60,000 year right now which is not an
“extraordinary amount of money but way closer to the average of what Americans make than people realize”
everybody thinks everyone makes a million dollars now when people live when people when I was growing
up and I was poor very poor like poor then it was lower middle class then lower lower then it was lower then it was middle class when I was coming up in my life all the way to high school and then I went to college where not literally this is where I got my spades skills from I went to a school where 90% of the kids that I went to school with were on financial aid I grew up humbly these kids were from hood hood culture okay when when we all grew up when you had humble stuff you
didn't buy 30 pairs of sneakers you weren't buying Starbucks you weren't ordering Uber you weren't fucking what has happened is yes there's a separation of wealth issue which I fully believe it but you're not allowed to complain when you're buying a 36 dollar cocktail on a Thursday night happy hour when your money's tight you're not allowed to complain when you've got Netflix who Lou Amazon Prime and fucking Paramount plus when your money's tight you're not allowed to
“complain when you've got eight different kith and essential hoodies when your money's tight”
when I was growing up and money was tight we looked poor right my homies had one pair of sneakers so did I for fucking three years yep so what's happened is a combination of things we've become unfortunately two materialistic again motherfuckers had banged up use cars when our money was tight when I was growing up make everybody's leason new cars now yeah everybody's credit is all fucked up everyone's in huge debt people lived within their means in the 50 60 70's 80's 90's
we've lost our way people are buying dumb shit when they don't have money to impress people that they don't even like we become insecure we've become way too nosy we keep up with the Joneses let alone the Kardashians and we're fucking lost out here and we need to get back to humility to family to fucking simplicity need to be hungry and ambitious look i'm about that life i'm trying to get every fucking person that's listening to this podcast to a different plane financially
and i will tell them how to do that social media content live social shopping like i'll put it
out every fucking day the problem is when your mindset is complaining and blaming make i made
fucking money with bush i made money with obama i made money with trump i made money with Biden i made money with trump i'm not fucking blaming my problem by the way i had problems with bush i had problems with obama not them i had problems storing their rates i'm not quite fucking figures that a politician i'm not even blaming my mama and my daddy like why are we blaming everyone everyone's pointing fucking fingers why don't you point thumbs at yourself if you're upset right now
if you don't have the paper you want if you don't have the relationship you want become accountable yep you will win and i'm not trying to give hard love here i'm trying to get you out of your place of unhappiness blaming is clearly not working for y'all yeah so why don't you try blaming yourself you're in bad relationships stop fucking hooking up with fuck boys hey love it dude literally just had that conversation and i said it a different way
like i have this thing about being present and always being where your feet are at right
“well sometimes you need to just move your freaking feet right like like if you don't like”
where you're at you can move you can change and i don't mean physically moving but like sometimes it's a minimum i mean physically yeah when i get to deep political conversations with people like move right like like like you're allowed like if you you know some of my friends like Sweden i'm like move the Sweden move the fucking Stockholm mother fucker move like and i'm not saying like you don't love america get out america america is and has plenty of flaws
news alert so does everybody else yep you know when people like Sweden like what's Sweden's suicide rate if it's so fucking great oh Canada's health care why don't mother fuckers that need real surgeries come to america like what are we talking about yeah so again it all sits under one genre which is when you go simple and let me give you a big breakthrough and so i'm so motivated to be on this podcast because i know you're speaking that truth which makes me believe that the
people are listening right now like have the capacity to do it for example one of the biggest
Things that's screwing everybody up is they're just consuming too much negati...
I'm so that's why i'm doing this podcast with you this is double positivity right like you
“you want to know why you're not winning you're hanging out with losing energy that could be your”
sister that could be your auntie that could be CNN that could be Fox News because both themselves fear you're listening to fear you're listening to negativity like get your game up like change it up like you can listen i'm not a big proponent of fully cutting family because family's blood but if your dad is the most negative person on earth maybe you don't need to talk to him two times a day maybe once a week or twice a week will be okay or if you're like
me once every 30 years but that's the difference so yeah like you know again like nobody want nobody I don't want that for you right my hope is that when you cut to want some month once a week versus three times a day you reset your energy you're now stronger and now you have the ability to go back into the lions dan and try to pull dad out you see where i'm going the reason i
“and i i and i've seen this i've done this the reason i liked teach people to limit time with their”
negative family members is because if they're deposit of one and they're being affected dragged down if they limit it they build back up their juices they're cup fills back up and then they can go back into the lions dan and try to pull those people out and it's hard to change people and they got to do for themselves and all that stuff but what ends up happening is if you don't step out
and limit you finally it sounds like potentially what happened to you and it's happened to me in
different situations you get to a tipping point and then you're fully done you know people like yeah i can't cut my mom out like i'm gonna say cut your mom out in fact the more you eat her negative toxic shit the more likely you're gonna find judgment day and you're gonna actually cut her out if you limit you can reset at times of one day you might be able to last man and side gone kind of shit and pull them out of the fucking fire right so and then fuck that's family
now let's move it co-workers other influencers homies acquaintances random people people in the comments people in fucking reddit cut that negativity out and you want to know the fastest way to find out who those people are in your so-called circle start winning start winning and then see who really is there with you because for me that gave me so much perspective and you told me it was gonna happen like i'm not saying something that Mick just made up Gary V's been saying that for
a long time start winning and you'll really see the people that were rooting for you and those that held you back and let me give you a real deep three-o-one fucking good energy lesson on that one let me tell y'all what i do when when i'm winning when i was winning when i currently winning what ends up happening i'm sure all of you thought hmm when Mick said that he said hmm you said damn i thought i didn't realize i had so many haters around me let me tell you something about the people
that blew you they're just hurt when you start winning and i have a feeling a lot of people gonna start winning off this podcast i could smell it once in a blue moon it happens i could smell it when those people start bullying you that you most thought we're gonna cheer for you and your
“shook just remember this part of the podcast and remember don't be mad at them feel sad for them”
and be the bigger person and try to be compassionate and help them too because we're so quick to
