Podcast appearances and mentions of gary vee

Send us Fan MailYou can have the career, the independence, the confidence, the whole “I've got this” thing going for you… and still find yourself wondering what the hell you're doing in dating, work, or life.That's part of what I loved about this conversation with Bri McNees.Bri takes us behind the scenes of how a completely organic casting connection took her from corporate retail in Columbus, Ohio, to Love Is Blind — and why she's built a life around being willing to say yes when the right door opens, even when it scares the shit out of her a little.And yes, we get into the stuff you actually want to know.Dating with the intention of finding a husband. What the Columbus dating scene is really like when you know what you want. Watching yourself back on reality television and realizing that, edit or not… yep, that's still you. Bri also opens up about what really happened with Connor, why vague breakup explanations can send the internet into a full-blown spiral, and what their first major conflict taught her about whether a relationship can actually hold up when things get hard.But this conversation goes way beyond Love Is Blind.We talk about faith, anxiety, identity, becoming more comfortable with who you are, and that slightly terrifying adult realization that none of us — including our parents — actually have this whole life thing figured out.Then we get into Bri's next chapter: leaving corporate America, content creation, and entrepreneurship. We talk TikTok, Instagram shopping, being selective about whose advice you take, Gary Vee, staying authentic while building a platform, and what it actually looks like to bet on yourself.And because apparently the episode needed one more character, we call Bri's dad, G-Man, live on the show — and he casually drops some of the best advice of the entire conversation about rejection, naysayers, and the difference between talking about the dream and actually going after it.If you're in a season of reinvention, starting over, dating differently, building something new, or standing in front of a door you're a little scared to walk through, this one's for you.Subscribe, send it to someone who needs a little push, and tell me: what's the risk you know you're ready to take next?

Zane Keller, CEO of Ducere Wealth Management, is driven to Lead, Guide, & Educate clients and employees by helping them solve meaningful problems and achieve their goals. Through personalized financial guidance and a culture of empowerment, Zane supports clients with complex financial needs while giving employees the tools, trust, and opportunities they need to grow professionally. In this conversation, Zane introduces The Turn the Ship Around Framework—Delegate Decisions to the Source of Information, Put the Right People in the Right Seats, and Remove Friction That Impedes Performance. He explains why informed employees should have the authority to make decisions, how leaders can remove barriers instead of controlling daily operations, and why culture must remain a priority as a company scales. Zane also discusses macro patience and micro speed, creating opportunities for employee ownership, encouraging intrapreneurship, and helping multigenerational families coordinate their investments, tax planning, estate planning, and financial legacies. — Lead, Guide, & Educate with Zane Keller  Good day. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Zane Keller, CEO of Ducere Wealth Management, with a vision to be the leading provider of tech-driven, tax-optimized wealth management services for clients through their advisory support, that every client’s assets, time, and relationships are prioritized. Zane, welcome to the show.  Thanks, Steve. Appreciate you having me.  So, Zane, before we jump in and talk about Ducere Wealth, I’m very curious about your personal why, and how are you manifesting it in the company through the company’s business?  Sure. Well, early on, I knew I liked—one of my biggest passions was helping people solve problems. And one of the amazing things about being in the wealth management industry is you get to help people solve a lot of problems that are personal for them, and that’s their finances. It tends to be a personal subject for them, and allowing them guidance, support, understanding, and being a listening ear is what I find to be extremely rewarding in the business we have. But starting a company and having a team, and building that team, and building all the infrastructure and support and all of that, to me, the employees are as much clients as our clients are clients.  And so it’s an interesting position that I’m in, where it’s a dual role of both looking at it from a standpoint of how do we help our clients with the day-to-day or yearly challenges they face, but also how do I make sure that our employees are empowered to deliver the right client service and feel that they can continue to grow and expand in their careers. So I just like helping people, and I get to do it every day.Share on X  Yeah. Okay. That’s great. So when you talk about solving problems, obviously finance is a mirror for all an individual’s life aspirations, problems, challenges, opportunities, all that stuff. Your people are also humans, individuals, and they probably have similar challenges, so that’s a really neat mosaic there. So what is most challenging in building a wealth management firm like that?  I think the most challenging thing is all of the decisions are on you. And when I talk to other business leaders, there isn’t a roadmap, there isn’t a manual in terms of how people build their businesses, build their teams, and a lot of it is a balance of both trusting your instinct and what your background and lessons have been, as well as trusting those that you have brought in to help build the enterprise.  I was fortunate that I get to work with my dad, who had gone through this venture before, and we’ve gotten a chance to partner together and build it from the ground up. We went from a year ago, I had to order two laptops on Amazon, get a URL from GoDaddy, and start from scratch. And, you know, a year later, we find ourselves with 14 employees, an office in Newport, an office in Las Vegas, $600 million in assets under management, and continuing to want to grow, and being fortunate that we have a tremendous client base who trusts us.  But we’ve been able to attract and retain top-quality employees and team members who we rely on every day to continue building out the vision.  Well, I mean, building $600 million in assets under management in a year in a business like wealth management sounds almost like an impossible goal. Did you have a portfolio that you kind of imported into this business, or was that completely from scratch?  No. We had clients that we had worked with previously. We had left a big bank.  Okay.  And so some of those clients came over with us, but a lot of it was growing organically through COIs, through other marketing efforts, and bringing on other advisors who wanted to leverage our platform to provide a better service for their clients.  That’s fantastic. So how does one start a wealth management business? It sounds like one of the hardest businesses to start because it’s a trust-based business, from what I see, and it’s a very slow-burn kind of business. How do you actually grow a business like that?  Well, I think first is, in our industry, what’s interesting is there’s a lot of different business types. You have the wirehouses, the broker-dealers. There are people that are very successful just being anchored to a Wells Fargo or a J.P. Morgan or Merrill Lynch and building within that. Then you have folks who have gone to the roll-ups. Private equity has become pretty involved in our industry—a lot of roll-ups, a lot of consolidation.  Their value proposition is defined platforms that you can just plug in. And then you have what I consider the true independents, ourselves included, where we had a vision of we didn’t want to be held back or bogged down by two areas. One, as things get larger and larger and larger, the wheels turn slower and slower. And I think we're in a unique area from a business evolution cycle that leveraging AI, leveraging the technology, being able to make decisions quickly is going to be a substantial differentiator over the next several years.Share on X  And we didn’t want to have the conflicts that inherently come when you are backed by investors, and the focus is how do you maximize revenue, even if it may be at the expense of clients or at the expense of employees or at the expense of growth that you don’t see the return on investment for several years. So we decided that we were going to do it from scratch. Luckily, I had a background in—at the previous firm, I had helped build out all of the tech stack.  I’d worn almost every hat you can have at an RIA, and I had the experience from my father having gone through this, that between the two of us, there was enough goodwill or brand equity to build it out. But the other thing that we decided to do is there’s a reason it’s not called Keller Wealth or Keller Investments. The goal was never to have it be about ourselves. It was about creating a brand and a vision where others feel like they can be a part of.  357: Lead, Guide, & Educate with Zane KellerShare on X So as we brought on employees, I’ve challenged them that they have a responsibility to make an impact on the organization, and we start with culture. People have to be a culture fit first. We will not sacrifice culture for all the money on God’s green earth because I can confidently say that I don’t know how much business or revenue we’re missing out on if the team is not functioning at the highest level possible. So the first and foremost is a cultural fit. Then we look at the skills, the competencies, the ability to grow. But for us, culture is number one.  Yeah, love it. So what does it take to grow a wealth management firm? What drives growth in your business?  I think it takes three kind of main pieces. One is understanding that there’s a term GaryVee uses called “macro patience, micro speed.” And what we had set out initially is I knew that there were several steps between SEC registration, getting relationships with a custodian, getting relationships with tech vendors, finding office space, all of that that needs to be done just from a basic business foundation standpoint. What I needed to do, when we needed to do it, and logging every week.  I actually would send emails to myself and my dad for the first two months before we had employees of everything that got done the previous week, and what we needed to get done the next week, and what our blockers were if things couldn’t get done. Then that kind of grew into, as we had employees, becoming a consistent weekly check-in as we were heading towards what I consider our launch date, which was July 28th, because that’s when we actually received SEC approval.  So the first two months was just building the architecture, building up where we’re going to work, what we’re going to work with, all of those decisions being put in place. I’m fortunate enough that I’ve been involved with a lot of different companies in the industry over the years. So I had people who had done this before, people who had worked with large RIAs, small RIAs, and everything in between to lean on as advisors.  I think one of the things that I was more than surprised by was the amount of outpouring of support. “I’m happy to help you. What do you need? What can we do to make you successful? I know someone that I can connect you to.” And I think that's kind of the unique thing about our industry, is that there is a lot of camaraderie and willingness to help each other, even if you may be competitors in some aspects.Share on X  That’s interesting. So when you say “macro patience, micro speed,” what do you mean by that exactly?  So our goal is to get to a billion or more in AUM. And while I’d love to do that overnight, it takes time, both from bringing in clients, market performance. I’d love everything to be fully integrated from an AI standpoint, but again, those things take time. So a lot of the times, I think leaders have an issue with wanting to get to the destination as quickly as possible and not thinking through all the steps they need to get there.  So each step along the way, or what I consider the day-to-day, I try to get as much done in the hours that I have during the day, and that’s where the speed lies. And eventually that compounds, just like investing, into where we want to go from an overall firm standpoint. But me saying, “I just want to be at a billion dollars,” that’s great. But you’re going to say, “Well, what are you doing every day to get there?” I can go, “Well, I’ve had this many prospect meetings.  I’ve had this many client meetings. We’ve reviewed this much market information. We’ve decided to put money towards these investments.” It’s the day-to-day decision-making and being quick in doing that that I think is imperative for us to get to where our goal is going to be.  Okay. So this is a podcast called Management Blueprint, and it’s a podcast of frameworks. We are 350-plus episodes in, and every episode is a different framework. So I wonder, what’s a framework that you have come across, or maybe your did or you guys refined it, invented it, or improved it, that helps you build this business, that helps you do something more effectively, maybe getting new clients, maybe building your team members or training them, maybe getting the word out, whatever part of business it is that can be explained in three to five steps?  Sure. So there’s a book called Turn the Ship Around! by David Marquet, and that, from a leadership standpoint, is the mentality that I have taken since day one. To boil it down into one sentence, it’s this: The people with the information make the decisions. And so if the team is coming to me all the time for every possible decision in order to move this business along, there’s no way that we’re going to grow at the rate or grow, arguably, period, the way that we want to succeed.  So when I sit down with the team, one, the first question needs to be, if you’re running an enterprise like this, do you have the right people in the positions they’re at? Do they have the competencies, the understanding, and the cooperation with others to effectively make decisions in their role? And then the second thing that I spend the majority of my time on is, are there things inhibiting them from doing their role? So things such as, do they not know what their budget is? Do they not know who the decision-makers on the other end are? Do they not know that they are responsible or allowed to make those decisions?  So my goal is to make sure that they understand that if they have the information and we have built what the, I guess, framework or the bumpers are in bowling, that it's their decision to make and to inform me why they made the decisionShare on X not for them to come to me and say, “Do we do A or do we do B?” When we have a team, the expectation is there’s a lot of moving pieces. To your point earlier, it’s a lot to run an RIA. It’s a lot to run a wealth management firm.  There’s several things happening all at once, several things that are intertwined, and you can’t have one person that is reasonable as you grow in scale to be aware or understanding of the pros and cons of every decision. So we’ve brought people on. We have a full investment team. They are responsible for making the investment decisions. I listen in, but I’m not doing the due diligence. I’m not meeting with the managers. I’m not doing all of that. We have folks that are responsible from an operations side, making sure things day-to-day happen. I’m not the one making the decisions on that.  But if they come to me and say, “Hey, this is becoming difficult,” or, “We can’t get ahold of so-and-so,” then I step in. But the whole point of it is making sure that they feel empowered. The people with the information make the decisions. You get the right people in place, you should have, from a leadership standpoint, very few decisions you have to make on a day-to-day basis.Share on X Yeah, that’s great. So basically, you share your contextual understanding of your business with the people who work for you so that they can connect the dots as well, make decisions, and you can focus on the strategic part of the business. What do you and your dad focus on?  Yeah. I’d say it’s two parts. One is focusing on the more complex client issues, as we have multi-generational, multi-family clients, and also where we want the business to go. And it’s not one-dimensional. It’s bringing on more clients, plus bringing on additional advisors, plus looking at things from a national standpoint. After COVID, Zoom has become very useful, and people have become comfortable with having what I consider tele-wealth.  So their advisor may be in a different state, and they’re completely comfortable with that. And so it’s pursuing all of these various growth avenues because the day-to-day is being taken care of. So my focus is just that. It’s focusing on strategy. Where does the next $600 million come from? What about the $600 million after that? And how do we continue to grow in a manner where we don’t sacrifice some of the things that make us unique? As an example, our team constantly talks, interacts all day long, not just on “This is the work that needs to be done,” but people genuinely like working together.  I don’t have a strict in-office policy. The entire team’s here five days a week. I’ve not asked them to do that. I’ve not said they need to do that, but they genuinely enjoy working here. So when we open up a second office, how do we keep that kind of consistency? When we open up a third office or fourth? It's those kinds of areas that I think I spend a lot of my time trying to figure out and see how we grow without sacrificing some of the core values that we have.Share on X  Yeah. So what are your core values?  Probably three big ones. One is, I don’t know if I’m allowed to say it on the podcast here, but we have a no-assh*le policy. You have to be a genuinely good person to work here. You have to genuinely care about other people, and that is the first test. Two, we want, just like the firm grows, we expect the team to grow personally and professionally.  So if you’re going to be here when we do a review, I’m going to ask you: How are you better at contributing to the organization, to your team, and to your coworkers than you were a year ago, and what do you expect to do better a year from now? And then the third thing is: How are you defending our culture? We may have new people come in. What are you doing to set the tone as to how we work here at Ducere? Because, as I mentioned earlier, it’s not just about me and my dad. It’s about the collective organization, each individual playing their part to enhance and protect our culture.  Yeah. So it’s very clear that you talk about culture repeatedly. It sounds like it’s a really big part of your identity and how you want to build this firm.  Absolutely.  So what’s one thing that you’re actively trying to figure out in this business right now?  I think one of the big things is: How do we effectively bring on an advisor where we understand they have a book of business, and we understand they have a certain way of doing things, integrating them into our platform, but allowing them to operate with their own unique style. One of the challenges with scale is sometimes you scale and you give up originality or a unique way that, Steve, you may do something, then I do it a little differently, but it ultimately gets the same goal.  And really looking at what are the goals or deliverables that an advisor wants to bring to their clients, and can we allow them flexibility to get there in their own way? And I’ll give you a good example. So what we do from an asset management standpoint is we have what I call an open architecture. So for any given portfolio, there can be a number of combinations and permutations that give you a similar risk profile or result, and we leave that up, if the advisor wants to, for them to decide what that makeup looks like, as long as it’s within the parameters that we’ve set from a risk standpoint.  So as an example, Steve, you say, “I’m aggressive,” and I go, “Great. I’m not going to put you in one stock if you’re retired. That’s too aggressive.” But we do have several things that are approved on the platform, and we do continuous due diligence where we can say, “Steve, here’s two or three options. Which best serves your client? Which is going to be something that your client understands and feels comfortable with?” So that’s one area that we’ve really been trying to focus on and figure out how we express that differentiator in a way that it actually resonates with those advisors.  Yeah. That’s great. So basically, you want to build an organization where people can stay entrepreneurial. They don’t have to just live in a box that is given to them. So you capture more creativity and more personality in your business so that you can grow in a more nimble way. Is this what you’re trying to do here?  Yeah. I think the official term they’ve called it is intrapreneurship instead of entrepreneurship. But yes, the goal is: How do we get the team to come and say, “Hey, I think we have this issue, and here’s the solution I want to have, and it’s a little different than what we do, but I think there’s a way to make it happen”? And again, the people with the information make the decisions. How do I remove as many blockers as possible so they can continue to pursue that avenue? But the big thing is, some folks sometimes get sidetracked.  They go down rabbit holes or they veer off on projects that may not be going towards what our goal is, right? Growing, adding more revenue, adding more clients. And so as long as there’s a tieback to what our goals are as a firm, then we’re all for empowering them to be able to pursue those passions.  How do you maintain that structure in a family-started business? That can be a tricky one. People might feel that there’s a glass ceiling or they’re always going to stay an outsider. How do you resolve this tension?  That’s a great question, and it’s something that verbally hasn’t come up to me, but I can certainly see people’s perspective on it. And so my dad and I tend to be pretty transparent as to what's going on, what we're dealing with, getting feedback from the team.Share on X And while this is a 40-plus-year venture for me, for my dad, it’s probably about another 10-year venture for him.  And so we’ve stated that our goal is to get to the point where we can be 100% employee-owned, but we can have multiple employees who are owners of the firm. I’m a strong believer in giving people the opportunity to earn their equity. And if we do get to the point where we sell the organization one day, I want to brag about how many millionaires I created.  I don’t think anyone will ever care how many millions someone makes for themselves. And so we’ve, from day one, been very vocal and communicative to the team that the expectation is that as many of the employees as it makes sense, and that they’ve earned it, can earn equity. We plan on doing that, but it’s probably not going to be until about year three where we actually start putting that together from a formal standpoint.  Yeah. That’s fascinating. So who is an ideal client for you? So if someone is listening to this and they think, “Ah, maybe I should talk to Ducere,” how do they know whether they are in the sweet spot of what you’re looking for and who you can serve the most?  Sure. Well, our best clients are ones that tend to be multi-generational, so they’re families that are looking to pass on the management of the wealth from maybe the matriarch or the patriarch to the next generation, and they have more complex investments, partnerships, family limited partnerships. They have an interest in private or alternative investments, and they’re looking for someone to help with that transition and possibly help with the next generational transition, and a partnership that’s another 20 to 30 years.  So folks that are qualified investors that tend to have complex tax and estate needs and really want someone who’s a quarterback between all the other professionals that they work with—CPAs, attorneys, et cetera—that’s who our ideal client is. There are firms out there that offer everything in-house, right? We do your taxes, we do everything. And the analogy I like to use with clients is that’s like going to a buffet. Buffets, for some people, are great, but I’ve never had my greatest meal at a buffet.  Usually, it’s fine dining, where it’s a specific niche that they are looking to serve. And so if they’re happy with the other professionals that they work with, our job is to fill in that gap to make sure that things get coordinated, they get an understanding of what their financial picture is, it’s clear-cut as to how to get to those goals. And I think the biggest and most successful clients we’ve had are ones who want to learn. They want to be educated clients. They want to be educated investors. And so those are the type of clients that would be ideal: multi-generational, complex financial needs from a tax, estate planning, and private investment standpoint.  They’re also looking to work with a firm that may not have some of the conflicts that the Merrill Lynches and Wells Fargos, who may sell you their own proprietary products, because we don’t make any commission. We’re fee-only. Or some of the PE firms who are looking to figure out how to maximize profit off each client. And that’s not the way that we look at it either.  Yeah, I think a lot of people are waking up to the idea that if the owners are super profit-oriented, then it means someone will have to pay the bill. And if there’s a huge imbalance between the motivations of the company and the individuals, then it can create tensions down the road. When I look for home services, I always look for, okay, which company is the one that maybe is a locally owned one, genuinely locally owned with real people that I can talk to and who I can trust, rather than a faceless institution that essentially dictates the policies that may not always be in my interest.  So I appreciate the independence. So if the listeners would like to learn more and figure out whether they have enough complexity or whether you are the right fit for them, where can they find out more, and how can they connect with you?  Sure. We have our website, ducerewealth.com. We’re actually, for our one-year anniversary in about two weeks, revamping it, and so there’s going to be a lot of resources for all the various niche types of clients that we work with, and there are several forms out there. You can contact me, zane@ducerewealth.com. I’m a principal, but I talk to our prospects and clients, and we just want to do what’s best for the client. So, ducerewealth.com, and we welcome any and all of those interested.  Okay. So if you have complex financial needs, or you just want to think about your legacy and transition maybe to the next generation and how to maximize your wealth, check out Ducere Wealth Management and reach out to Zane Keller on LinkedIn.

Travis Chappell delivers a solo masterclass on gaining influence—the essential skill for entrepreneurs, networkers, and anyone looking to close more deals or build authority. Drawing from Robert Cialdini's Influence, his podcast booking agency that hit $1M in 8 months, and years of relationship-building, Travis shares three proven paths to become undeniably influential without gimmicks or scams. On this episode we talk about: Why "be interested, not interesting" is half the networking equation—becoming a person of interest first "Badass bullets": How unique accomplishments (ultras, stadium tours, epic feats) make you a must-interview guest Value = influence: Give practical advice, entertainment, or insights to earn trust and obedience Examples from Gary Vee, MrBeast, and The Rock—how consistent value creation turns into massive business wins The power of frequency over volume: Short-form consistency builds long-term trust faster than you think Top 3 Takeaways Become a person of interest—stack unique life experiences (adventures, feats, stories) so others evangelize you naturally. Deliver value relentlessly; it doesn't have to be profound—entertainment or quick wins create loyal followers who act on your word. Stay consistent over time; frequency breeds trust, turning one-off interactions into lifelong influence. Notable Quotes "Value equals influence. The more value that you give, the more influence that you have." "People who do really interesting, cool things... become the evangelists for them just by very nature." "Be interested, not interesting... [but] being interesting is actually still a really valuable piece of the equation."

How long can the current sports card market keep going up, and what could finally bring it back down? In Part 5 of our Sports Cards Live conversation, we look ahead at the next six months and ask whether the hobby's current momentum is sustainable, whether a correction is inevitable, and what could potentially trigger it. Could an MLB work stoppage ripple through the hobby? Could a broader recession force collectors to sell? What happens when the biggest buyers finally reach the limits of their budgets? And could a major grading scandal create an entirely different kind of disruption? Chris McGill breaks down the hobby's "capital ecosystem" and explains why he's watching where new money is coming from, who's spending it, and what happens when that capital stops expanding and begins rotating instead. Then, during the show, breaking news: the controversial restored and reconstructed T206 Honus Wagner closes at Love of the Game for approximately $1.336 million including buyer's premium. Was that a strong result for a dramatically restored Wagner, or an underwhelming one given the attention surrounding the card? From there, the conversation gets heated. Gary Vaynerchuk's recent comments about vintage fictional and non-sports cards bring us into a much larger debate about influence, pumping and market manipulation. If someone with a massive audience talks publicly about a card they believe is undervalued and demand suddenly explodes, is that unhealthy? Josh Adams argues that artificially accelerated price increases can eventually hurt the collectors buying at the top and drive people out of the hobby when prices inevitably fall. Jeremy pushes back. What if the card really WAS overlooked? What if increased exposure simply introduces thousands of collectors to something they didn't previously know existed? And what if those new collectors genuinely fall in love with it? Is that pumping, or is it price discovery? We also discuss collectors owning dozens of copies of the same card, when collecting becomes investing, why some collectors actually WANT prices to come down, and whether there's such a thing as a "natural" increase in a card's value anymore. Featuring Jeremy Lee, Joe Poirot, David Chase, Jeff Hart, Chris McGill and Joshua Adams.

Ilana Golan knows what it feels like to lose everything. After climbing from the Air Force to Intel to VP in a Silicon Valley startup, she thought she had made it. But when a trusted co-founder cut her out of their new business overnight, she was left with nothing. No job, no company, no income, and a shattered ego. That collapse became the turning point, forcing Ilana to ask who she was without the titles and what kind of life she truly wanted to build. In this episode, Ilana breaks down the five shifts you need to reinvent your career and the blueprint she used to bounce back from failure, build one of the fastest-growing startups, and land opportunities with leaders like Richard Branson and GaryVee.

In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down for an interview during my first trip to Brazil and talk about why you're either first on a new platform or the best on a mature one. I share why wanting to build a big audience really means wanting to live a 1% life, and why South America, Asia, and the Middle East are the most underpriced markets in the world right now. I also discuss my three pieces of advice — self-awareness, make, patience — and the 5149 framework I use to decide which companies to invest in.You'll learn about:• First or Best on Any Platform• The Underpriced Markets Right Now• Self-Awareness, Make, and Patience• Leverage in Every Relationship• The 5149 Investing Framework

I get this all the time. DMs, emails, some version of "hey Nathan, can I pick your brain?" And I get it, the intention is good. But here is what that message actually says to the person receiving it: I want your most valuable asset, your time, and I am going to give you nothing in return. Here is the thing: I grew up in the suburbs with zero entrepreneurial connections. No successful friends, no business-owning parents, no network to speak of. Every single room I have ever been in, I built my way into from nothing. And the principle that made it possible is stupidly simple. In this episode, I share the serve first, ask later framework and walk through exactly how I used it to land interviews with Richard Branson four months into building Foundr, connect with Gary Vee, Mark Cuban, and Arianna Huffington, and build a network that has carried me through some of the hardest seasons of my career. Here's what you'll take away: Why "can I pick your brain?" is broken and what it signals to the person on the other end The one question that should drive every networking interaction: how can I genuinely help this person and expect nothing in return How framing the ask around someone's mission, not your need, is what got Richard Branson to say yes to a four month old magazine The actual playbook for building from zero: how to figure out your currency, find the right person, and reach out with a specific offer tied to what they are working on right now Why stopping putting successful people on a pedestal is the mindset shift that changes how every conversation starts Why you need both peers and mentors in your network and what each one does for you that the other cannot If you have been waiting until you have more followers, a bigger platform, or something impressive to show before reaching out to people you want to learn from, this episode will show you that you already have more to offer than you think.

What happens when you discover a vintage card you believe has been overlooked, buy it, and then one of the biggest voices in collectibles suddenly calls out the exact same thing? In Part 2 of our post-National Sports Cards Live conversation, Jeremy Lee, Joe Poirot and David Chase are joined by Leighton Sheldon of Just Collect and Auction Wire for a deeper look at pricing, buying and negotiating at the 2026 National. Leighton gives us the dealer's perspective on the "overpriced National" debate and explains what he saw from both sides of the table. We dig into the difference between commodity cards and genuinely scarce cards, when comps matter, when they don't tell the whole story, paying premiums for exceptional eye appeal, and why building rapport can make a real difference when trying to get a deal done. Then things take an unexpected turn. Jeremy reveals the 1935 Mickey Mouse card he had identified months earlier as a new personal grail, along with an extremely scarce O-Pee-Chee variation he discovered through Auction Wire. David had also started buying cards from the set at the National. Then, almost immediately afterward, a video surfaced of Gary Vaynerchuk specifically calling out 1935 Mickey Mouse and 1940 Superman as vintage fictional cards he believes have significant potential. Within days, available examples began disappearing and asking prices jumped dramatically. Coincidence? The Gary Vee effect? Or an overlooked segment of vintage collecting finally starting to get attention? We also get the incredible story behind Leighton's 1948 Leaf Hal Newhouser deal with David, discuss why relationships still matter in the hobby, and look at how tools like Auction Wire are changing the way collectors discover cards they might otherwise never find. Featuring Jeremy Lee, Joe Poirot, David Chase and Leighton Sheldon.

Before Gary Vaynerchuk became known around the world as GaryVee, he built his first audience talking about wine.In this special episode of Got Somme, Gary returns to his roots for a conversation with Angus O'Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos about wine, business, collecting and where the global wine market could be heading next.Gary explains why he believes wine buyers currently have more power than producers, with oversupply creating extraordinary opportunities to purchase premium bottles for a fraction of their traditional prices.He reveals the remarkable deals he is seeing from Australia and New Zealand, including Barossa Shiraz, Margaret River Chardonnay and Central Otago Pinot Noir, and explains why this could be one of the greatest wine-buying periods he has experienced in 35 years.Gary predicts that blockchain technology could allow collectors to buy, sell and trade ownership of physical bottles without repeatedly moving them between warehouses. The wine could remain safely stored under temperature-controlled conditions until its owner chooses to redeem it.It is a prediction Gary believes people will return to in ten years.IN THIS EPISODE• Discovering wine while working in his family's liquor store• Building Wine Library and becoming an early wine creator on YouTube• How Wine Library TV challenged the pretension surrounding wine• Learning to enjoy wine as a consumer instead of an operator• Why Gary believes the current market strongly favours wine buyers• Premium Australian and New Zealand wines being heavily discounted• Using wine dinners to build stronger business relationships• Why a brilliant $15 wine can be more exciting than a famous label• The value and humility of blind wine tasting• How Australian Shiraz and Chardonnay have evolved• Why buttery, oaky Chardonnay may be returning• How NFTs and blockchain could change fine wine ownership• The future of wine collecting and temperature-controlled storage• Building Empathy Wines and selling it earlier than plannedGUESTGary Vaynerchuk, GaryVeeInstagram: @garyveeYouTube: GaryVeeWine content: Wine Library TVGary Vee, GaryVee, Gary Vaynerchuk, Gary Vaynerchuk wine, Gary Vee wine, Gary Vee interview, Gary Vee podcast, Wine Library TV, WineText, Empathy Wines, wine podcast, Australian wine, wine investing, wine collecting, fine wine, wine market, wine bargains, wine business, blockchain wine, NFT wine, future of wine, Master Sommelier, Carlos Santos, Angus O'Loughlin, Got Somme, Barossa Shiraz, Margaret River Chardonnay, Central Otago Pinot Noir#GaryVee #GaryVaynerchuk #WinePodcast #WineBusiness #AustralianWine #WineCollecting #FineWine #WineLibraryTV #GotSommeGary Vee wineGary Vaynerchuk wineGary Vee wine podcastGary Vaynerchuk podcastGary Vee interviewGary Vee Wine LibraryWine Library TVGary Vee Australian wineGary Vee NFTsGary Vee blockchainGary Vee wine collectingGary Vee wine investingGary Vee Empathy WinesGary Vee Wine Textfuture of winewine market 2026wine buyer's marketbest-value wineAustralian wine podcastMaster Sommelier podcastwine business podcastNFT wine ownershipblockchain wine collectingfine wine collectingAustralian ShirazMargaret River ChardonnayBarossa ShirazCentral Otago Pinot Noir

Today's episode is an all-time clip. I don't know if there is a more powerful clip that I've ever put out and I hope you can sit down and really let this soak in. Please understand that your negative outlook on life is coming from a place of fear that was instilled in you. For everybody that is "scared" and "fear-based", don't see it as a negative reflection of yourself. You're not bad, you are just hurt and need to understand that those are other people's thoughts being out in your head. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.

In this episode of Tea with GaryVee, I take questions live from viewers and talk about why the more separated you are in a family business, the more together you'll be. I share why the audience (not you) gets to decide what's average, and why paying somebody to work for you is a better education than a college diploma. I also discuss why the free content in a paid-content model has to actually be free, and my secret bigger mission to reframe alpha male success around kindness and empathy.You'll learn about:• Divide and Conquer in Family Business• Who Really Decides What's Average• Paying to Learn by Hiring• Why Free Content Must Be Free• Reframing Alpha Male Success

Uptin Saeedi spent years as a CNBC producer, where he launched the network's international YouTube channel in 2016 and quietly noticed something awkward: the videos he shot on his own iPhone in selfie mode outperformed the ones made with a professional crew. Then the pandemic hit, he was laid off, and he had to decide whether a million-view brand name meant anything without the brand.In this episode, Uptin is specific about why he spent his severance on an editor from day one, how PR consulting in the mornings let him make content in the afternoons with no financial pressure, and how a single LinkedIn message turned into a Dubai agency he never meant to start and later sold. Plus the reason his agency deliberately had no Instagram or TikTok, why he once unfollowed Gary Vee and then told him so to his face, and his rules for delivery: trim 30% of the script, never say "hey guys", and talk like you're speaking to one person.Topics covered: starting from zero · consistency · funding the early days · accidental agencies · scaling down · hustle culture · the craft of a good story

Leadership does not wait for permission. It starts the moment someone decides to step forward, often long before they have a title to prove it. That is the theme of this episode, the next installment of our Next Wave Leader series featuring members of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Rethink Council.  I am joined by three agents who each found real estate through an unexpected door. Who are also now shaping how their markets do business. Meet the Leaders: Holly Darcy - REALTOR®, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida She began her career as an elementary school teacher before building her own personal training business. She later found her home in real estate as a military spouse navigating constant change.  Holly is passionate about consistency and authentic personal branding, helping clients feel like they already know her before they ever meet. Asia Adair - REALTOR®, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties Her real estate journey started as a special education teacher during the pandemic. It was shaped early on by following her mother into the business at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.  Asia excels at hyperlocal video marketing and disciplined client follow-up, and lives by the principle of giving more than she expects to get. Grace Stanzel - Co-Team Leader, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ambassador Real Estate Her path into real estate started as a high school intern on the very team she now co-leads, inspiring a career built on full-circle mentorship.  Grace excels at consistent, personal client touchpoints and is passionate about giving new agents the same hands-on start she once received. From Classrooms and Career Changes to Real Estate Leadership Holly spent years as a teacher and later ran her own fitness and nutrition business before real estate. A conversation with a mentor at a personal crossroads gave her the push to get licensed. Asia taught special education through the pandemic before getting licensed, selling her first home while still teaching, and going full time the following summer. Grace interned with her current team her senior year of high school, then finished her college degree online while building her real estate business during COVID. When They First Saw Themselves as Leaders Asia points back to leadership roles she held before real estate, from school council president to founding her high school's Gay-Straight Alliance, and says the identity of "leader" only clicked once she found success in real estate. Holly credits a local Leadership Development Council program and the moments agents and clients turn to her for advice as the clearest sign she has become a trusted voice in her market. Grace talks about the full-circle moment of becoming a mentor to interns after starting her own career the same way. The Risk That Changed Their Business Holly says joining the Rethink Council came at a burnout point in her career, and became one of the most valuable decisions she has made. Grace talks about the risk of hiring a full-time operations director, and how betting on her business paid off in growth and client service. Social Media, Video, and AI: What Is Actually Working Grace focuses on intentional, high-quality listing videos built around the seller's story rather than generic content, and finds Instagram drives her strongest engagement. Asia uses hyperlocal geotagging on video content so her market's algorithm surfaces her to the right audience, and recommends agents use AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT to audit how they show up online. Holly treats her social media as a full extension of herself, mixing polished property marketing with everyday moments, and building a one-page digital bio she sends to new contacts and referral partners. What the Rising Age of First-Time Buyers Means for Agents With the median first-time buyer age now around 40 according to the National Association of Realtors, the panel discusses how to help younger buyers understand the long-term value of getting into the market early. Holly shares her own story of buying her first home in 2010 and points to home price data over time as proof that time in the market matters more than timing it. Grace focuses on patience and education, reminding younger buyers that the process can take time and that having the right team makes all the difference.

(her guiding principle in business, inspired by The Go-Giver) Grace - Quote: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." — Henry Ford "Leadership isn't something we wait for. It's something we practice one conversation, one decision, one courageous step at a time." — Teresa Palacios Smith When you help another woman rise, we all shine. And that's how we make an impact.

In This Episode: ● Why Randy calls social media one of the most anti-prosperity forces in the world ● How algorithms amplify insecurity and emotional harm ● Why today's online bullying is different from the traditional school bully ● The dangers of seeking validation through social media ● Why Randy disagrees with Gary Vee on this issue ● The surprising success tip Randy gives entrepreneurs and young people alike ● How a digital detox can improve your focus, mental health, and prosperity mindset Show Notes

Three Ubers cancelled on Krysta at 5 a.m. before she taught a class, so instead of powering through she sat in a coffee shop with her AirPods out — and overheard three conversations about AI more useful than anything in her feed that week. That's the thesis of this month's episode with Paige: your best material is sitting in your actual life, not in the prompt you're about to engineer. In this episode we dive into:• How BEIS turned years of hate comments into the smartest rebrand of the summer• The pickle brand that built a product out of someone else's bad day• The question to ask your best clients that will change your content forever• Why cutting screen time in half doubled Krysta's content ideasThe Campaigns Worth Studying• BEIS papered New York with "missing" posters for the Weekender before anyone knew a rebrand was coming — teaser first, hate-comment reactions second, surgery video last• Shay Mitchell read the criticism out loud instead of getting defensive, which let her explain the tradeoff: a bag built to hold everything gets heavy• When Alix Earle posted herself losing a fight with a jar of Good Girl Snacks' Hot Girl Pickles, the founders sent her a jar opener — then started including one with orders• The lesson isn't the stunt. It's that both brands knew exactly what their customer was watching that weekYou're Studying the Wrong People• Most business owners follow their competitors and assume their clients do too.

Taking a public stand, even a polarizing one, is what separates influential marketers from forgettable ones. Igor breaks down why opinions build credibility, how to express what you stand for without confrontation, and how to turn newsworthy moments and even angry subscriber replies into engagement gold.

Artist Gyula Németh joins Jace to discuss his work on the VeeFriends Topps Chrome trading-card set. Gyula explains how his years creating artwork for Panini's Kaboom inserts led to his involvement with VeeFriends, how Gary Vee's original character sketches are reinterpreted by different artists, and why preserving each character's established personality can make the process more challenging than illustrating a real athlete. Gyula also reveals which monsters became his favorite characters to draw, discusses the revisions behind some of the finished cards, and reacts to seeing rare collectibles featuring his artwork listed for extraordinary prices.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a couple of gems this morning, both coming from Gary Vaynerchuk  (@garyvee).  The first is a short video clip where he is having a conversation with a young kid and her mom, reminding the kid that she is capable of learning to do things to help herself out with her Youtube channel editing.  The simplicity of reminding her (and us) that we learned how to do things as a young child and that we are capable to keep learning new things, no matter how old we are.  That leads into the second post I saw from Gary - “Seriously, so many of you in your 40's, 50's, and 60's have hunger to go for more but think you have to “wrap it up” because of your age - that's just not true.”  Amazing reminders from a guy that just keeps putting kindness, compassion, authenticity, passion and tons of other life examples out there for us to connect with and learn from. The ideas and lessons are out there my friends - it's up to each of us to decide where and how we implement them into our lives!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Everyone is telling you to get on Substack. Gary Vee. The big-name coaches. All of them.But should you?Here's the thing. Most coaches hear "get on Substack" and think it's the answer to getting clients. It's not.Substack is a place to get found. That's it. It's not where you keep people. It's where they meet you.I spent 30 days on it. This episode is what I learned.You'll hear why there's no algorithm fighting you like on Instagram. Why you don't really own your Substack list (and where to send people so you don't lose them). And the one mistake that keeps coaches busy, liked, and still broke.Drop me a line and share your thoughts!About the host:Michelle Kuei is a business and marketing coach for coaches.

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric react to a recent Gary Vee interview and dive into a conversation about personal responsibility, financial independence, and why blaming your circumstances can keep you stuck. Through personal stories, parenting lessons, and a few lighthearted sports debates, they explore how ownership—not entitlement—is the foundation for long-term success. On this episode we talk about: Why financial independence changes your relationship with your parents The hidden cost of entitlement and constantly relying on others for support How struggle builds confidence, resilience, and self-reliance The importance of separating gratitude from criticism in family relationships Why money solves money problems—but not personal responsibility Top 3 Takeaways If you're financially dependent on someone, approach that relationship with gratitude and accountability rather than resentment. Temporary financial struggles are often opportunities to develop the skills and confidence needed to become truly self-sufficient. Lending or borrowing money can strain relationships, so it's important to establish healthy boundaries and prioritize trust over financial dependence. Notable Quotes "Money only solves your money problems." "The solution isn't an influx of cash—the solution is replacing the income." "Take some damn responsibility for your life."

“Send Coach John a message”Amazing post that I found thanks to, once again, Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and he introduces this with these thoughts:  “Growth starts with a change in perspective. Stop feeding on fear and negativity. Focus on hope, what you can control, and the people who lift you higher. Your mindset shapes your world. Choose growth & a positive mindset!”  This all comes from a post that Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) shared - that I wanted to share with you.

On our most replayed episode, Gary ‘Vee' Vaynerchuk talks about how being scrappy wasn't just a choice for him; it was his only way forward. After years of growing his family's wine business, he was left with nothing of his own.

Overcoming the financial, mental, and emotional hurdles of entrepreneurship, he built his company into a multi-million-dollar media empire.

Can you imagine getting to the end of your life only to realize you pretended the whole way there? Gary Vee looked at me and said: "Almost everyone does." I've wanted to have this conversation for a long time. Gary Vaynerchuk is one of the most visionary, most generous, and most honest voices in the history of entrepreneurship. He didn't just see TikTok before anyone else. He saw Twitter, he saw NFTs, he saw the iPhone. He's been right about the future consistently, and he does it all without asking a dime from the millions of people he's helped along the way. In this conversation, Gary and I go places I don't think either of us expected. We talk about AI and why the window to get ahead of it is closing faster than most people realize. We go deep on self-awareness as the foundation of every success in business and in life, and why most people are gambling instead of building without even knowing it. Gary breaks down the only content strategy that actually works: stop chasing where you think the money is and make content about what you know or love. We also get personal. Really personal. About our parents, about the fuel behind everything we've built, and about what it actually means to live a life that's yours and not a performance for somebody else. This one hit me in a way I didn't see coming. Here's what you'll gain from this powerful episode: Self-Awareness Is the Whole Game: Gary's single most important principle for building anything in business or life, and why most people skip it entirely and pay for it later. AI Won't Kill You. A Human Using AI Will: Why you cannot afford to wait on this technology, and the exact first steps Gary recommends for getting started today no matter what industry you're in. Make Content Around What You Know or Love: Gary's no-BS framework for building a brand that lasts, and why chasing trends or money in your content will quietly destroy everything you're building. Macro Patience, Micro Speed: The mindset that separates people who build real wealth from people who gamble it away, and why Gary talks about patience so much while operating at full speed every single day. The Analog Opportunity in a Digital World: Gary's prediction for where the biggest business opportunities will be as AI takes over: physical, real-life, community-driven experiences that no algorithm can replace. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to truly stop performing and start living, this is the episode. Gary Vee is a force for good, and I'm grateful to share this conversation with you.

Years ago, I tried something in my own practice that seemed like an obvious win: a 24-hour call center to make sure every call got answered. It made sense on paper. It failed in practice, and not for the reasons you'd expect. In this episode, I tell the full story of why the call center didn't work, what it taught me about the relational nature of chiropractic, and how that exact same lesson applies to the AI tools showing up in chiropractic offices today. I walk through a real conversation I had with a client who was being pitched a dynamic phone number system, essentially the modern, automated version of the same mistake I made years ago. From there, I lay out a simple principle for evaluating any technology in your practice: if it's only benefiting you and not your patients, it's worth reconsidering. I break that principle into two practical questions, transparency and frequency, and use some uncomfortable personal examples, including my own dentist, to show what happens when a practice gets either one wrong. This episode is not anti-technology. I use AI constantly in my own work. It's about making sure the tools you adopt strengthen the doctor-patient relationship instead of quietly eroding it. Topics Covered - The full call center story: why it seemed smart, why it failed, and what I'd do differently - Why chiropractic's high-touch, relational nature makes it different from most other businesses adopting automation - The dynamic phone number example and why "the technology exists" isn't the same as "you should use it" - The core principle: if the technology only benefits you, reconsider it or change it - Transparency: why patients should always know when they're interacting with technology, not a person - Frequency: how to tell the difference between helpful outreach and harassment - A real example of a raving fan turning into a lost patient because of over-automated follow-up - Why marketing advice built for mass audiences (Gary Vee, Dan Kennedy style "mail until they buy or die") does not translate to a practice with a few hundred patients - How to evaluate your own practice's current automation honestly If you want a free look at your website and local search, request a review at RocketChiro.com.

Stick to the plan - the discipline, patience, and unshakeable commitment to stay locked in when progress is slow, doubt is loud, and everything around you says to quit.Everyone has a plan until life gets hard. The ones who win are not the most talented or the most motivated - they are the ones who showed up anyway and refused to abandon what they started.Featuring words of wisdom from David Goggins, Jocko Willink, Alex Hormozi, Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Chris Williamson, Steve Harvey, Steven Bartlett, Jim Rohn, Matthew McConaughey, Conor McGregor, Michael Phelps, Bruce Lee, Kevin Hart, Kyrie Irving, Lewis Hamilton, Simon Sinek, Denzel Washington, Jay Shetty, Ed Mylett, Gary Vee, Mel Robbins, Inky Johnson, Bedros Keuilian and many more.Instagram - @daily_motivationsorgFacebook- @daily_motivationsorg

Oleg Lee started with a simple request: he asked his dad to print a custom-shaped pillow of his late childhood dog, Izzy. When he posted a photo of the lifelike pillow on Facebook, the internet lost its mind. Today, that single viral moment has evolved into a $20 million-a-year manufacturing empire producing 400,000 custom pillows annually.In this episode of the UpFlip Podcast, Oleg breaks down his unbelievable entrepreneurial journey—from stuffing 20,000 pillows by hand in his dad's garage while working full-time in construction, to becoming the silent manufacturer behind massive brands like Netflix, Paramount, and Chewy.Oleg shares exactly why he walked away from a massive retail deal with 2,000 Walmart stores to focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales, how a $100,000 investment in a custom software tool doubled his revenue in a year, and the exact Instagram DM strategy he uses to land celebrity endorsements from David Dobrik, Paris Hilton, and Kim Kardashian.
