MicroVee: What Happened When I Sent a $400 Thank-You Gift | GaryVee Keynote Clip 6:33

4 days ago6:33

6:33

Sometimes the smallest gesture creates the biggest return. In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite stories ever—where a simple act of gratitude turned into a massive business opportunity. This is for all the entrepreneurs out there who are obsessed with scale and tech... but might be sleeping on the old-school moves that really build brand equity. This isn’t theory—it’s a real case study of how doing the unscalable can scale your business better than any ad campaign. I also break down the mindset you need to win in today’s economy: either go all in on social media or go all in on relationships. The middle? That’s where businesses die. 🎯 If you're in business, marketing, sales, or customer service... this episode is your reminder that being human still wins. We talk about: 📞 Why calling your old clients might be your next growth strategy 🎯 How a $400 jersey for a $100 customer led to a $6,000 sale ❤️ Scaling the unscalable: why gratitude is the edge 🧠 The mindset difference between winning and being forgotten 🚫 Why the “middle” in business is the worst place to be 🎧 Don’t sleep on this one—it’s a great example of how to actually do business in a meaningful way. 📍 Follow the podcast here first: 📌 @garyveeaudioexperience 📍 Follow me here: 📌 Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | TikTok | Twitter/X | YouTube…

The EXACT Formula I Use to Grow Businesses with Organic Social Content | GaryVee Possible Keynote/Q&A 35:30

15 days ago35:30

35:30

This one’s for the marketers, brand builders, and business leaders still clinging to yesterday’s playbook. In this high-energy keynote and raw Q&A from the POSSIBLE conference, I’m throwing punches—at outdated marketing models, bloated ad budgets, and the creative delusion plaguing our industry. We’re in the Interest Media era now. Organic creative IS the strategy. If you’re not over-investing in social content, you’re being outflanked by companies that didn’t exist a year ago. No more disguising bad creative with fat media buys. In 2025, if it doesn’t hit organically, you don’t spend a dollar promoting it. Period. 👊 This is a call to ditch the delusion and start telling the truth—internally and externally. We talk about: Why organic relevance is the new reach The broken Paid-Owned-Earned model (and what replaces it) How agencies are losing ground by playing defense Why your $800K campaign flopped—and a 5K TikTok didn’t Social strategy for CPG, B2B, the gray market, and everything in between The future of podcasting, live commerce, and AI influencers Common sense in marketing... and in life 🎯 Whether you're an agency exec, solo creator, Fortune 500 CMO, or a startup founder—this episode will either challenge or validate you (maybe both). 📍 Follow the podcast here first: 📌 @garyveeaudioexperience 📍 Follow me here: 📌 Instagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | TikTok | Twitter/X | YouTube…

This one’s for the real entrepreneurs—the ones in the trenches building something that matters. In this keynote from the BizX conference, I go deep on the real traits of successful business owners: resilience, adaptability, and the relentless pursuit of attention through content.

We also dive into pricing your worth, the truth about HR, and how to create engaging B2B content without being boring.

This one’s a MASTERCLASS for every small biz owner, startup founder, or scrappy team trying to grow with limited resources. I kicked off this keynote with a personal story—my family’s immigrant journey, my days flipping baseball cards, and how I scaled my dad’s liquor store from $3M to $65M without outside capital. 💥 But here’s the truth bomb I dropped: we’re in the single greatest moment for B2B and B2C growth in history—and most of you are asleep at the wheel. Whether you’re trying to land your next big lead or retain your best team members, this episode has you covered. I go deep on why LinkedIn is the most underpriced attention for B2B right now, why TikTok is steroids for B2C , and the one mindset shift that will transform how you treat your employees and grow your brand. 🎯 It’s offense (marketing) + defense (retention). It’s attention + empathy. It’s time to build a real business , not just chase clout.
