Key Moments
Man, I hate those fuckers
Today's an extremely special day for me because today is my mother's birthday. I won't go too much into mindset and motivation and those kind of things, because I think we have a lot of people covering it.
"Thank you for that. Man, I hate those fuckers. Today's an extremely special day for me because today is my mother's birthday. And I thought I would use that as a framework of the opening dialogue, giving a sense of who's speaking today. I won't go too much into mindset and motivation and those kind of things, because I think we have a lot of people covering it."
I'm being dead serious with you
For all the good shit that's going on with me, I literally think I mean nothing. I'm being dead serious with you.
"If you want wanna talk... For all the good shit that's going on with me, I literally think I mean nothing. I'm being dead serious with you. I think I'm the greatest of all time with my confidence and bravado and ego and excitement and the things that I see are happening, but I equally know that if I disappear tomorrow, cool, I'd have a good social media day and then everybody would move."
No matter what you have going on, your grandparents had it worse
This second that we're sitting here is the greatest second in the history of mankind for human beings. No matter what you have going on, your grandparents had it worse.
"This second that we're sitting here is the greatest second in the history of mankind for human beings. This is math. No matter what you have going on, your grandparents had it worse. We are so good at blaming other things and dwelling and complaining on shit without looking at the reality of the situation. No matter how bad you have it, millions, billions have it worse."
YouTube too and Google before that in 2003
I get 1,000 emails and DMs a day from people who say to me, Gary Vee, Zucks fucked me. YouTube too and Google before that in 2003.
"Like what, while you guys were watching MTV? What the fuck's the matter with you? People complain that Facebook and Instagram's algorithm changed and they're not getting as many likes. It's free. I get 1,000 emails and DMs a day from people who say to me, Gary Vee, Zucks fucked me. Instagram's, what the fuck is Instagram doing? They're killing me. They changed the algorithm. YouTube too and Google before that in 2003."
