Eric features a conversation with Gary Vaynerchuk advising small to medium-sized business owners, particularly those in niche outdoor living spaces, on effective social media strategies. He emphasizes the importance of IRL (in-real-life) live streaming, consistent multi-platform posting, and amplifying organically successful content with paid media. Gary also highlights the shift towards interest-based media, encouraging businesses to share content about their personal passions—even if seemingly unrelated—to attract high-net-worth clients, as these diverse interests can create unexpected connection points and leads. Finally, he advises against fixating on follower counts, advocating instead for a focus on crafting compelling content and flowing with the momentum of successful platforms. Key Takeaways: Integrate your personal passions and diverse interests into your content strategy, as social media's "interest media" algorithms can connect you with unexpected, high-net-worth leads for your core business. Consistently post content daily across multiple social media platforms, including often-overlooked ones like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Snapchat Spotlight, to maximize reach and awareness for long-lead sales cycles. Amplify content that performs well organically with paid media, rather than spending money to promote underperforming content or focusing solely on vanity metrics. Prioritize the craft and process of content creation over fixating on specific numerical goals, allowing for natural growth and virality on platforms where your content organically flows. Build trust by being service-oriented and transparent, such as explaining who might not be an ideal client for your business, which can surprisingly make people want to hire you more.

Gary Vaynerchuk—known to millions as “Gary Vee”—is a serial entrepreneur, visionary business leader, and globally recognized voice on marketing, personal branding, and living life with authenticity. From his humble beginnings as a Soviet Union immigrant hustling at garage sales to building multiple successful businesses and amassing a massive online following, Gary has become the “inconvenient truth” in the world of self-improvement and entrepreneurship. Renowned for his candor, empathy, and relentless consistency, Gary has inspired generations with his actionable wisdom on gratitude, accountability, and the true intent behind success. On this episode, he joins Mick Hunt to dive deep into interest media, personal brand building, and uncovering the purpose that fuels his unstoppable drive. Takeaways Intent Matters More Than Tactics: Gary emphasizes that true impact comes from a genuine desire to serve your audience, not from chasing likes or followers for personal gain. Authentic intent can be felt by your audience and sets you apart from the crowd. Interest Media Over Social Media: The way people interact with digital platforms has shifted—platforms are now more about sharing interests and connecting over passions than about purely social connections. Creators should lean into authenticity and share what makes them unique to attract the right audience. Accountability and Gratitude Are Superpowers: Blaming others or circumstances doesn't lead to growth—taking responsibility for your actions, being grateful for what you have, and minimizing negative influences can supercharge personal and professional progress. Sound Bites “I'm more proud of the compliments and the words of affirmation than any material thing I've gotten from my success.” “If you want to make real impact, run it like a business or don't do it at all.” “You are the brand. The more you're you—all the way you—the more you'll win.” Connect & Discover Gary: Website: https://garyvaynerchuk.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/garyvee/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garyvaynerchuk/ X: https://x.com/garyvee YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/garyvee VeeFriends: https://veefriends.com/ Books: Day Trading Attention Twelve and A Half Crush It!

Nikki explains her approach: “It's almost necessary for the brand leader to stand up and talk about what they do.

It could be writing out your business model on one page, reaching out to someone in your network for feedback, or even setting aside time to research your market.  Commit to taking just one step.

Are You Winning a Game You Secretly Hate? This episode confronts a fear greater than failure: the fear of achieving success in a life you don't actually want. Anchored by a philosopher's poignant quote, Randy and Greg dissect the "wrong ladder" syndrome—the common trap of chasing societal or familial expectations at the expense of personal fulfillment and joy. They share deeply personal stories about climbing the corporate ladder, parental influence, and the courage it takes to pivot. Listeners will learn the importance of self-awareness, defining their own version of success, and practical, actionable steps to transition from a life of regret to one of purpose and time freedom. Key Takeaways: The greatest fear isn't failure, but succeeding at a game you never wanted to play. It takes immense courage to first recognize you're on the wrong ladder, and even more to choose a different one. Parental influence, whether direct or indirect, can unknowingly set you on a path that isn't true to yourself. True success often lies in consistency and enjoying the process, not just in the speed of achievement. Acceptance of your current situation is not giving up; it's establishing the necessary starting point for a meaningful pivot. A practical 3-step plan for leaving a life you don't want involves: 1) Focusing on personal development, 2) Getting your finances in order, and 3) Setting a firm date to make a change. Gratitude for what you've already accomplished can alleviate the anxiety of constantly striving for more   Questions Answered in This Episode: What is the one fear that is more important than the fear of failure? How do you recognize if you are "climbing the wrong ladder" in your career or life? What are the consequences of chasing a version of success that isn't your own? How can parental expectations influence your life path without you realizing it? What practical steps can you take today to start leaving a job or life you're unhappy with? Why is "acceptance" a powerful tool for change, not a sign of giving up? What is the true secret to long-term success if it isn't just about speed?
