 I'm like old school fucking Eastern repeater. I cashed everything in the backyard shit Okay, so I am actually right now in Sweden. It's really early in the morning. It's still kind of like not quite bright outside Basically, I went from one place in London to another in Sweden So I didn't even get an opportunity to like debrief on everything that happened with Gary V You're fucking idiot But basically while we were there we learned so much it was insane It was like the amount of just like insight that that team was able to provide for us It was massive We were able to ask any question and got a really honest answer that was so fantastic about this We actually got to talk to like Gary V's personal brand team people creating all of the content for Gary V himself This one's especially for John mostly But I'm hanging with D-rock and Andy Gary V guys, we got to meet Gary V. Obviously what up AJ and smarts me Gary V I'm here with the gals have the best day of your life And ask him any questions. We actually wanted to ask like he came in his like very Gary V style You know, he's like what's next? Oh, that's a good thing. It was a it was a bit intimidating Now Laura and I were very well prepared. We prepared like just like mountain of questions So I'm gonna go through the top three things that we got from meeting Gary V So number one my favorite thing that basically was said in the whole day was when Gary Vaynerchuk Said that everybody should be working on their personal brand Unless maybe you've like murdered somebody The only reason not to build a personal brand right now for real is if you're doing something terrible in the shadows of society If you're cheating on your husband, if you're if you've rigged somebody you stole my like the only reason to not Build a personal brand today is if you are currently doing something Yeah Because as you get awareness Let me tell you why I'm so happy to push everybody here on building a personal brand It is the best asset to have during the shitty time Because you'll be able to get a job Yeah, well we work for you by building an HR personal brand is God forbid if one of all hits the fan IBM still may hire you For 50 cents on the dollar of their last HR executive, but you'll get the top of the list Okay number two you shouldn't be afraid of selling like for us This was a huge one because we have grown quite a nice audience and that's really cool community and we were very Apprehensive about selling anything to them. We kind of took on the philosophy of just like be super transparent Give give give but you need to remember to as Gary V says Right hook, I think you should jab jab jab right hook. Yeah I think yeah, you know four or five six seven times in a row. You don't yeah, and then one time you do Yeah It's okay to sell as long as you're not disguising it Like I love selling but just don't be full of shit like I love when I go to sales mode because some of my fans get really bad Oh I'm like no, I'm not making you buy this I'm not one of those funnel people where you come in. It seems like I'm giving you good information that stops If you want a real real good Put in your credit card and get the next two hours of this video. No, you're more than the I'm pumped that people have never bought a bottle of wine from Wine Library a sneaker from K-Swiss and 40s Don't even know don't spend a second on it have no knowledge. Just know how big my audience is computer to my conversion And I know a lot don't Got it. Yeah, when you give you give yeah when you sell you sell The last thing Laura and I asked about What it's like to work for him now This was a big one because I think that there's a lot of people that think they know a lot about him or don't like him or Have very strong opinions about him I just wanted to know like, you know, is he this high energy all the time is he coming in and kind of like Bulldozing teams and throwing ideas out randomly and like how does his team sort of take that on and basically what we weren't was he Is a big fan of radical candor That they're confused by right when you have a point like we like everybody here judges me But they have no context and it's not their fault. I'm not I don't feel stupid I think I'm looking down and they're looking up When you look down from an airplane at the UK, you can see a lot more than when you're in this office So I Love it because 25% of time they can see my humility and I'm appreciative and I can see their smarts And we move forward and builds a real relationship 75% of time it reinforces my genius or uniqueness to them Because it takes a very smart who cares who's willing to be radical candor and then you throw something at them that they never thought of and Fuck that's true shit. It gives them confidence in their leader. It's amazing I only I come up to me all the time I want to be the reverse of the effort with no clothes because the second you walk into my office We want it's even 25% your 100% right you can see my humility and acceptance or 75% of time We're gonna walk out be more confident in me What makes you guys want to look so happy gallery? It's a great question Trust I think that he Trusted us very quickly with like in a weird way like first weekend. He was I didn't really know Anything I just wanted to tweet he's like on my office. Everything was like I was going away I'm like super fun, but then he's like yeah, they said these systems. I was like said Andy up with my Access to my inbox so you can start going through emails And I was like, you know me but like when he like I'm seeing this it just made one work harder You know, it's like, oh fuck like he's giving this. I'm not gonna not do right by it I mean do you rock me? You rock me probably make a lot more money than he's making right now and work a lot less But I think everyone that ever comes to the point you just tell it to Gary and you're like, okay, let's go do that I've seen it because I've been in like so many meetings. Yeah, but so many everything and I just didn't know how good it was Setting up everybody's like and like there's people I call in like not like from four years ago Those were the top three things we learned at Gary Vaynerchuk's 4d's Daily Digiton deep dive. I have to say the experience was quite fantastic It was like everyone in the room was really excited to be there Everybody was showing us, you know, they're their processes how they do things Answering all of our questions. They were all super friendly super knowledgeable just like really competent people and it was just a real pleasure to do it I will say that I was pretty friggin exhausted after the whole day I'm gonna try to convince them that it shouldn't be a day long. It should maybe be two days. Anyway, thank you so much for Watching this.
