The GaryVee Audio Experience

In this episode, I talk about the biggest opportunity for real estate agents in 2026: moving past the "old grind" and embracing content as your new foundation. I encourage you to stop making excuses about your busy schedule and start spending 50% of your time on the 7 to 12 platforms where the world’s attention actually lives. I also discuss why being a "human" leader with empathy and humility will always outperform those who are only driven by the next commission check.
 
You’ll learn about:
The "Platforms and Handles" (P&H) framework for social media
How to show up in the age of AI search
The difference between selfless and selfish content
Why Snapchat Spotlight and LinkedIn are untapped goldmines
How to lead with humanity and scale a massive team

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Maryam Banikarim to discuss the paradoxes of my public persona, how I define success, and why I believe the most important conversation happening in society is around self-worth. I reveal how being an immigrant shaped my lack of fear and why I believe "nice guys finish first" in the long run. We also dive into my personal "kryptonite"—the inability to give kind candor—and how overcoming it changed my organizations and personal life. Maryam and I get deep into a shared fascination: the crisis of "late adulthood" in society and how modern parenting contributes to angst and entitlement.
 
You'll learn:
Why I view business as a sport
Why "historical pattern recognition" is the blueprint for my "predictions"
Why I believe the biggest issue in society is not technology, but the lack of "self-esteem and insecurity" in the younger generation.
Why I prioritize maximizing joy over maximizing money.
Why I think forgiveness, of others and yourself, is the most underutilized tool for emotional health.

In this episode, I talk about the massive shift from traditional social media to "interest media" and what it means for your marketing strategy in 2026. I encourage you to stop relying on fake reports and start focusing on actualized reach through organic social creative. I also discuss the power of LinkedIn for B2B and why you need to stop wasting working media dollars on creative that hasn't been proven.

You’ll learn about:
The transition from Social Media to Interest Media
How to build and utilize a "Mid-Funnel" strategy
The role of a "Veditor" in modern marketing
Why LinkedIn is the best ad product for B2B
Preparing for the GEO and AEO revolution

In this keynote address to the NextGen community, I talk about the coming tidal wave of AI influencers and what you must do to survive and thrive. I encourage you to diversify your content across multiple platforms, especially YouTube Shorts, as a "defense mechanism from disappearing." I also discuss why selfish content always leads to plateaus and how detaching from the need for admiration is the key to courage and consistency.

 You’ll learn about:
The Inevitable Rise of AI Influencers
Why Attention is Always Changing
The Power of Selflessness and Bringing Value to Your Audience
The Necessity of Platform Diversification (YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, Substack)
Why Building Community Depth Matters More Than Ever
The Massive Opportunity in Live Shopping
How to Detach from Admiration and Deal with Judgment

In this episode, I break down the most critical shifts happening in modern marketing and share the core strategy I believe will define success for the next decade. I explain why traditional measurements like GRP are outdated and why an obsession with "measuring brand" is an excuse for bad work. You'll hear about the "campaign mindset" that is failing Fortune 500 companies and why the future of marketing is all about the "barbell strategy"—going all-in on extreme digital creative (AI/social) and extreme analog experiences.

You’ll learn about:
Why "Views Achieved" is the Most Merit-Based Marketing Metric
The Two Massive Flaws Killing Fortune 500 Marketing: Campaign Mindset and Fake Reports
The Barbell Strategy: Going Extreme Digital and Extreme Analog
Why Real-Life Experiential Content Will be Put on a Pedestal
The D.I.E. (Delusional, Insecure, Entitled) Mindset of Creative Leaders
