#211 The World Needs You with Gary Vaynerchuk

If you know of one person that has ever gotten to a happy place that dealt with your circumstance, there is a blueprint. The end.

Ego is insecurity with makeup on

Do not fucking confuse confidence with ego. Ego is fucking insecurity. It is not confidence.

I think we have an entire generation of people that are trying to be successful and I have enormous ambition to redefine it. I just really want people to be happy. It's so much more fun to be happy.

When people say to me, 'What does success look?" I always say the same thing pretty consistently - being able to wake up and do whatever the fuck I want whenever I want

We all are good at a couple of things. Spend all your fucking time trying to figure out what you're good at and if, God forbid, one of those things is something you actually like too, then you're off to the fucking races.

The great blessing of my life is that I don't judge myself

Everyone's tearing themselves down. What the fuck are you doing that for? Everybody else is doing it for you. Stop beating yourself up.

You'll always be disappointed if you think some big force is going to save you... so just solve it for yourself

I'm struggling to be unhappy because I've come to realize it's unbelievable how simple my life is. If I genuinely wake up in the morning and 8 to 10 people are actually still alive, I'm just struggling to be upset about stuff.

I am petrified that everybody is a PR version of themselves on social.

China won... China will be the biggest empire in the world.

I think a bandwagon sports fan is one of the great tells of somebody who's insecure

There's a lot of people right now really struggling with their transition because they have a negative mother or father and it's a force in their life that is really fucking them up. I don't think you need to cut out dad, but maybe you don't have to answer every one of his calls when you know the call is going to be negative.

I'm obsessed with perspective. I genuinely believe you find what you're looking for.

Whoever you are today is tomorrow's idiot

Being upset about something is just a failure of perspective

We are living through the beginning of the platform that arguably is one of the five biggest inventions and impacts on humans... ever

The only way to really win is to be true

We have to make positivity louder, but positivity has to be grounded in practicality

We are living through, clearly, the early stages of the transition of America losing its grasp as the number one alpha in the world

I think the final score is when you die and I think the scoreboard is how many people show up to your fucking funeral

It's hard enough to know ourselves let alone anyone else
