Doing stuff public may be a way to put yourself look better. But with the right intent an honorable act. Though maybe the personal apology was the most unselfish move. And i noticed Tims Body language turned More defensive (arms crossed) it can even be a form of power abuse, to make yourself look mature and shed light on your own goodness. Sure you say nice things but People only pick up on the act rather than for what it really is .Its more normal than People think and even unconscious level.
Gary did a great job of restraining himself to not interrupt. Even stopped team from doing another call “let him finish this”. At 42:30 started to explode from calm vibe. Hahahaha. Love love love his public apology at the end.
And we all know you will make an awesome video on it too! Cheers, I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that! I think I heard of it ONCE before, but didn't give it much thought since it wasn't that close to release.
Question of the day: when i was 24, I got blackout drunk and crashed my car. The next day I was fired from my job. The 6-8 years it took me to pull myself out of that hole, rebuild my self esteem, and reflect has led to some of my greatest strengths as a person and a coach.
This is probably the best #askgaryvee I've seen. He let people speak and it's amazing that he apologised publicly....I saw the talk where he said "F*ck 4 hour work week" and I was confused as that was the main book that pushed me to quit my job this year and go all in. 1,000,000% respect Gary and Thank you Tim for all you've done and are doing! Answer to Tim's Question the question: My biggest failure was my last business/side hustle which pushed me to breaking point so many times and in the end I had to quit it (losing so much money) but actually turned out to be the best thing as it made me so self aware of my weaknesses that I was trying to fix over the course of 6 years (which made not much improvements to the business and just tons of stress - I should have leveraged other people). Letting go of that business let to me being able to starting a new side hustle last year which was focused on my strengths and quit my full time job 8 months later - never felt so relieved/free in my life.
I would love to hear how it's going now 5 years later? Also, when you say should have leveraged other people, can you please elaborate/speak to the details as far as what exactly you meant by that? Thank you!
I almost died from a rapid onset illness that left me bed ridden for 18 months. When I finally wasn't in pain and felt alive and free again, it put everything into perspective for me. What used to be a "bad day" would now be one of the best days of my life. Perspective is everything and I am fortunate to have experienced this at such a young age.
Yeah, this is Gary when he actually respects his guest. For him to say sorry for interrupting was like woah, Gary actually finally apologized for that to his guest?! Hell must have frozen over.. (and he sold all of the stock shares to hell right beforehand and is the only one who saw it coming and walked away ballin'). But yeah no, I never see Gary show respect to his guests until this episode/Tim.
This is one of the greatest if not the greatest episode to ever hit this channel. The amount of respect these two have for each other is something that you could feel through the screen. This was one of the first episodes where Gary didn't interrupt someone several times (Which I know is not meant in a negative way, more so to expedite a process of understanding WHICH IS FINE) but Gary really sat back and let Tim speak which speaks volumes to how much appreciation he has for Tim, especially with the apology at the end. Two real admirable men who put great energy into this world. Thank you both. - Reid
You just hit me with something that changed my business perspective - build my business in a way that makes people come to me. Most people are chasing the clients... And that sales drive makes us a lot of money. But if I start building in a way that the client comes to me... That changes the way I do everything! It changes the ads I run, the videos I create, the meetings I do... Brilliant advice! Thank you so much!
Last year, on my 40th birthday, I was stricken with immense pain. I ended up in the hospital and after two weeks in and out of emergency rooms and hospital beds, and beginning to lose feeling in my left foot, they discovered I had a cyst on my spine. During the 4 months of pain and recovery from surgery, I developed the idea that is going to save me (and others). What should have been a devastating moment became the thing that started the greatest transformation of my life.
Just when I thought that this episode cannot get any better, Gary delivered a heartfelt apology to Tim at the end of this episode. Humility at its best, Gary actually acts on what he preaches! Thank you Gary!
QOTD: I had a rough breakup that had put me down a lot, so i when i looked for strenght i got back up on my feet and i'm such a better human being now. A true bless in disguise. Emotional inteligence is key!
The idea of accountability to money, others, limits etc. to make sure you get systems in place is exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve heard this but it’s amazing that when and from who you hear this stuff, it cuts deep to the root of the problem and forces you to act Thank you two soooooo much for all you do.
Man, Gary's really dialed it back as a host. He's way more invested in what Tim is saying and hardly ever interrupts, and if he does it only adds to the conversation rather the derails it. Big ups
I'm a school counselor and have nothing to do with this business world yet I'm fascinated by these discussions. Does anyone else use this info to just be a better human? I can relate most of this stuff to just operating my own self. Like I'm a corporation or a business. Maybe I'm just weird, ha!
It sure relates to every human ; we are, after all, companies in our own right. In fact, one of the reasons why (successful) people in the business are so interesting is because to succeed they had to deal with reality lest they would have failed.
My office was flooded a few years ago and I lost so much equipment and furniture and Stuff I had for 15 years of running a company. And in hind sight it was one of the best things that happened to me. I stopped looking at things being so precious, I got rid of so much dead weight. I ended a working relationship that I was always on the losing side of. I found my own voice and confidence in doing things on my own. I became way more profitable, personally and professionally. And I stopped complaining and just did what needed to be done and was grateful to be doing it my way. Been Following both Tim and Gary for over a decade and love that they have been proven right so many times over.
I learned so much from this episode. Personally, I found the idea of hip hop pushing the boundaries quite interesting. Looking at some of the best musicians in history (Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, e.t.c.), each artist knew all of the "rules" or parameters and revolutionized them. For example, "The Well Tempered Clavier" by Bach was a huge success because it was interesting to a listener's ears. Bach took the laws of counterpoint and interpreted them in his own way. Beethoven, the grandfather of the orchestra, was the first to add voices to the symphony with "Ode to Joy". Mozart started learning piano when he was a young child. He knew all of the rules, and he loved to write satirical passages to make the music whimsical. While these composers are now known as traditional and part of an older culture, during their time, they were revolutionary. They learned all of the rules so they could later make it their own.
I went back to rehab for the second time but I finnaly got sober but that's because I found my passion. Photography and videography. Great episode guys. Have a great rest of the week everyone! :)
This may sound odd but my greatest success to date was actually losing the state championship wrestling match in high-school my senior year. I was disqualified by points.. I mean I got destroyed.. maybe from an objective point of view, but internally the lessons I learned from that loss has led me to sustain multiple victories in many different arenas since. It really was the greatest failure I ever lived. Thank you Tim and thank you Gary for reminding me of that memory.. onto the next championship match.
I'm so excited to watch this. I started listening to Tim Ferriss, when someone sent me a episode of his podcast to listen to on the same exact day that you did this interview. I've already learned so much from him and you. Thank you for all the heartfelt guidance you both provide.
Amazing episode. I admire you both so much. To answer the Question of The Day: I went on “The Bachelor” thinking it was my big break... and it totally wasn’t. I was not only sent home on night one of the show, but I also had what is considered to be one of the most embarrassing moments of the show’s history. This slapped me in the face with the reality of how naive I was and as a result, it presented me with what I really wanted in life and who I really wanted to become. I let go of the “fancy” and took the leap to “eat shit for however many years it takes” to build my own business teaching painting classes with an emotional / Hero’s journey twist, (which has been growing over the last 3 years). I finally began to WAKE UP to my own truths and started listening to people like you two. So grateful for that failure, so that I could find myself watching this video right now. 💗
That was powerful when G. let the world see him! Humble and enormous, raw and sincere, it takes someone of strength to admit their flaws and ask for forgiveness. Awesome talk Gary & Timothy!
Getting fired by my best friends 3 years ago... basically gave me all my time back and finally kicked my ass into gear to start the business that I run today. Was devastating as I was a personal trainer and basically lost my entire client base to the gym. But 2 years of grind later.. I run my own food business that I took from $0 to $500,000 revenue and we continue to grow. I literally believe everything can be a positive
Such an awesome episode! To answer Tim's question, I think I'm still too young to fully know, what failure has lead to a blessing. However, there was one big setback that I guess has led me to a much better life. And I think many people will agree with me on this one. It was when I moved from Ukraine to USA. We all know it's not easy going from your home country to a place where you can't even understand anyone because you don't know the language. I came to America in 4th grade. I remember myself studying for hours and hours non stop, because it took me that much longer to try and understand what I'm trying to learn. I remember myself crying because you you try to read the book for the test, but half way through you realize that none of it was syncing in. But those struggles, and I'm sure a lot of people can relate, have taught me about patience and hard work. Because 8th grade, 4 years after coming to America, I went from Cs and Ds, to straight As. And that transformation will stick with me forever. Anyways, much thanks for the awesome content you guys provide!
Yeah I agree, I actually ironically had it pulled up on FB because I thought he WASN'T going to share it on here, but then I saw it here, closed the FB tab and watched here instead. #YTFTW
This is like an unstoppable force, hitting an immovable object, resulting in mutual respect. Been admiring both of these gents for a minute. Great show.
I’m glad you cleared the air Gary. You both are INCREDIBLE BEINGS. Tim: I am a stylist and every time I lose a client I face huge disappointment. But always end up grateful for the loss because it allows room for new clients.
"What failure turned into a recipe for success?" About half a year ago I got laidoff from one of my jobs due to a technicality. It sucked, it was half of my income really, but for the month prior to that moment I started on my side hustle fully. Spent every second outside of my jobs on it. Within a day I had double the amount of time I could work on this project, now to be brand. I hustled greatly was able to make a business plan, website, multiple social media accounts, loads of content in a matter of two weeks. I aimed for great things, and I still had great ambitions. This failure to some people's eyes was more than likely inevitable, even if I had quit the job instead, and it lead me to start being able to work on it much quicker.
How cute is Gary's chuffed little smirk when he says something he finds profound? It's like he impresses himself, gets a smile on his face that he tries to hold back a bit, but looks around to see if other people are impressed too. Cool interview.
Amazing episode. Dream come true! Gary & Tim you have both been tremendous mentors to me throughout the years. The failure of my first business left me almost broke and depressed, I studied the techniques Tim teaches about lifestyle design and automation paired with Gary's teachings on execution of social through authenticity, grit, and intent. My first loss in business (Almost 80K), forced me to be creative and have a lean business model that required less cash in my second venture. I now have a Sport's Media Company I can operate remotely that provides me the means to live the life I've always wanted. Thank you for all of your work I am eternally grateful to both of you
Great episode. I've been consuming less of Gary's content lately and focusing on myself and what I want in life all by DOING. But then he teams up with Tim... So please read on... Tim is an interesting human being on too many levels NOT to watch this episode. The answer to Tim's question: I was let go from my job of 3 years back in July. There were a lot of factors at play, but it was ultimately my fault. Coming to terms with that has been like lifting a huge weight from my soul. I'm in the process of starting a new business and (regardless of its success or failure) I will have at least had the privilege and opportunity to try. We get one shot at this. Be a good human being and don't die with any regrets. 2 goals we should all seek to attain.
Mike Barker all the best bro.. Glad to hear you’re focusing on yourself. That was the biggest move I ever made after getting fired by my friends and having a terrible fallout. I started my own business after and it’s been 2 years.. I now see that firing as the best thing to have ever happened to me
The honesty and rawness of that apology and the Tim's acceptance... I might have teared a bit. Both of you were a giant influence since I was a teen and I'm so happy I look up to such good men. Bless xx
Thank you, Nicole, for asking that question. I am operating my own social media marketing business and I'm getting to the point where I'm getting to a max client amount and I need help. I appreciate that. Best of luck to you. Thanks for the content, Gary.
Gary being so in touch with his emotions with that apologize at the end .. GOD it got me in tears, i hate you guys you just melted my heart . seriously tho, i really really love how Gary really stays true to himself, and don't let "ego" or anything of that kind to ruin his beautiful relationships, it's so beautiful seeing that humans actually can stay humble, true, loving and caring no matter how much success or fame they have, and i'm so happy that Gary is the one who is proving it, he deserves all the recognition he has and i truly love him, not for the business insights ... etc but for how much love and caring he carries in his big heart, he's just a beautiful human being and thanks god i was born in a period of time when he's alive and i have the chance to be taught and "influenced" by him. all love from Algeria ^^
Failure for future success: I failed to get that job at Mc. Donalds and now run my own business. Bonus: I failed to buy the car I really really wanted and then 6 months later I get my parents van for so cheap and go on adventures in it all the time! Screw that stupid car xD
I was rejected for wanting to be an educator by a big brand for using a variety of other brands - that next day I started Curly Hair Artistry and am reaching around the globe with organic reach training others to do the same thing in developing a personal brand vision, live training sessions in USA and abroad and online courses with those that can not travel. Its been 4 years since my rejection and its people like Gary VEE and Tim F. that make an impact on what I do as there is no-one else ahead of me grinding and guiding me - so I am a pioneer in that I lead a journey helping others to do the same.
Actually didn’t know of Tim before this interview. Really enjoyed the interview. You two couldn’t be more different in demeanor & intensity, which worked very well to make this video both informative & entertaining. 💪🏼💯
Gary, I have always had respect for you as an entrepreneur, mentor and public figure but after seeing and hearing the sincerity of that apology I can confidently say I respect you as a man and as an individual. Thank you for showing the world that even the Greats can be vulnerable at times and that there is true strength and influence in integrity.
Thank you Gary, its a true gift to have Tim on your show. He is a true light in this life.Gary your ability for Tim to share an not interrupt is Killer Man!!
QOTD: answer: dropping out of high school senior year. When I was an A-B student felt like a huge mistake at the time and everyone reminded me of that every single second. Deep down I knew it was the Right choice for me, but being young and everyone telling me I was wrong at the time felt like a huge mistake. I ended up getting my GED and going to collage years later; but having the backbone to make a big decision like that on my own and facing it head on into it despite everyone’s opinion around me. Looking back now learning to trust my self despite everyone’s opinion is the best lesson I learn in high school.
GaryVee admiration and respect for Tim was soooooooo obvious and I know why. GaryVee always preach "put out content, put out content." After I read "the 4 hour work week." I had to check out who is Tim Ferris and it was unbelievable how much research he has done to get his books out and the level of content and to date his Podcast is the example, challenge, marker and talk about for many. "You cannot Love other people Fully if you just tolerate yourself, so if not for yourself, for other people like your family and love ones you have to reconcile with bits and pieces inside of you." Tim Ferris-Priceless! Lots of love from Jamaica GaryVee. WOW! That apology had me melting.
This has got to be one of the best videos I have ever seen. Two inspirational leaders just giving so much value and then Gary's heartfelt apology to Tim (and Tim's response) is so sincere and courageous. A must watch..
I like this Tim so much better then earlier version. He seemed so sleazy from 4 hour work week. Hacking a championship title but losing the spirit of being a true champion just seemed sad but he has grown so much. It would be good if he discussed this more.
blessing in disguise: having growth pains in my knees, which meant I couldn't run in my final year in high school. as a result, I spent my time studying, and got into Queen's, which led me to SWP, which led me to my current life!
They are so different in how they talk, engage and even process info, yet they get to the similar thought or endpoint. 2 of my faves in one podcast. Loved it.
"We're losing all of the time." You two are two of my heroes, and I really needed to hear that. I'm fighting my way back from a couple of major losses from the past two years, and I'm digging deep.
Awesome show and I love how Gary has taken a slight back foot and that he is not jumping into the conversation every 2 seconds and is allowing the guest to get their point across at length without interruption. This show has developed so much in the last few months, love it.
Gary and Sadhguru are speaking the same thing to me!! Definatley would get Gary Market and Brand Awareness in India!! Sadhguru is the right person to be president of India in 2019. I seriously Pray these two get together on some type of Collaboration.. Really would be amazing
The two of you together on a show is the best show in the business category I have ever seen. I hope that the two of you put out more content together. I would buy the shit out of a book that the two of you collaborate on. Thanks for being such great virtual mentors!
Simple round up for the time poor: - Enjoy being the underdog - Learn to give a direct no without clauses - If you’re unsure if entrepreneurship is for you take on a simple and easy entrepreneurial project to see if it feels natural (eg. flip something on ebay for a profit) - Make calculated decisions to mitigate financial risk but don’t get stuck on emotional decisions that prevent you from taking action - Practice getting comfortable with discomfort (eg. consistently ask for 10% off your coffee) - Take perspective on the macro outcome and don’t focus on the micro losses
Finally, Gary is quiet and isn't interrupting and speaking over his guests or telling them that he knows what they are going to say (which by the way I think demonstrates low EQ). Great episode!
getting better at interviewing Gary! day and night between this and the seth godin interview. QOTD: Most of my childhood lol. Biggest ones: 1) Moving many times in younger years. while i don't have any "roots", that also means nothing is tying me down. Allows me to be open and take jobs across the country. No worries about making new friends, or if I'll be lonely. 2) Bad relationships and jobs. Some situations are bad, and only get better when you leave it. The world is big, you don't have to confront everything. Get up and leave, if it's not worth your time.
One failure that turned out to be exactly what I needed was dropping out of art school. If I hadn’t have done that I don’t think I would’ve had the urgency to buckle down and hone my skills on my own. That first year was difficult but i learned the meaning of believing in the journey, work ethic, and determination. Looking back I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything. Thanks guys for this awesome talk and congrats Kevin Rose!
My god the way they’ve talked about scaling literally hit the nail on the head. Exactly what I needed to hear from Tim.. forcing yourself to create systems so you don’t become the bottleneck of the business. I definitely am the bottleneck right now cuz almost everything has to go through me
I was deeply depressed and lonely, very isolated a year or 2 after high school and that pushed me into self development and I can now approach and talk to a bunch of girls and different people with confidence and my social circle has been on an upward spiral ever since.
Gary's words at the end to Tim made my respect level for Gary rise. Great example of humility,empathy, and accountability 👍
Absolutely!
I never noticed that! Thanks for sharing Kenneth!
Doing stuff public may be a way to put yourself look better. But with the right intent an honorable act. Though maybe the personal apology was the most unselfish move. And i noticed Tims Body language turned More defensive (arms crossed) it can even be a form of power abuse, to make yourself look mature and shed light on your own goodness.

Gary did a great job of restraining himself to not interrupt. Even stopped team from doing another call “let him finish this”. At 42:30 started to explode from calm vibe. Hahahaha. Love love love his public apology at the end.
definitely ADHD loooooool, legend tho!
Eyeden hahah 💯
Gary is always improving cuz he reads the comments. They need to do a documentary.
Like who does that?! Certainly no average business man... I was just blown away by the open apology... so real
Eric Roth Gary seems to be very interested in Tim
"he goes thick", "the girth of his work" two of my favorite quotes now.
Gabrielle Angel Lilly Gary almost said him and Tim cross swords but saved it by changing it to cross paths.
Close one.
I was thinking the same thing Gabrielle! Have a good week!
Thicc*
Incredibly good at girth.
For data purposes: Had no clue about this book until this episode (and I love his other books) - Definitely buying it now :)
His books are the best! Check out Tools of Titans
Between Gary Vee and Tim Ferriss, I've only read 3 of their books, but adopting as much of their mindset as I'm able has motivated a great deal.
And we all know you will make an awesome video on it too! Cheers, I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that! I think I heard of it ONCE before, but didn't give it much thought since it wasn't that close to release.
Same. Marketing must of been bad. He needs to get with Gary lmao
Practical Psychology it’s practical psychology!!
Question of the day: when i was 24, I got blackout drunk and crashed my car. The next day I was fired from my job.
The 6-8 years it took me to pull myself out of that hole, rebuild my self esteem, and reflect has led to some of my greatest strengths as a person and a coach.
Mitch Heaslip: May I asked what strategy or what took place that pull yourself out of it.
probably the best Tim Ferriss interview I have ever seen. Great work to both of you and I really appreciate the rawness at the end!!
This is probably the best #askgaryvee I've seen. He let people speak and it's amazing that he apologised publicly....I saw the talk where he said "F*ck 4 hour work week" and I was confused as that was the main book that pushed me to quit my job this year and go all in.
1,000,000% respect Gary and Thank you Tim for all you've done and are doing!
Answer to Tim's Question the question: My biggest failure was my last business/side hustle which pushed me to breaking point so many times and in the end I had to quit it (losing so much money) but actually turned out to be the best thing as it made me so self aware of my weaknesses that I was trying to fix over the course of 6 years (which made not much improvements to the business and just tons of stress - I should have leveraged other people).
Letting go of that business let to me being able to starting a new side hustle last year which was focused on my strengths and quit my full time job 8 months later - never felt so relieved/free in my life.
The JC Files congrats!!!!

Wow, the quitest gary with the guest
He was obviously star struck to some degree.
I thought the same thing!!!! Tim is really a grand master and on the same level as Gary. super neat to see Gary respect that.
I was just going to write the same.
Yeah, this is Gary when he actually respects his guest. For him to say sorry for interrupting was like woah, Gary actually finally apologized for that to his guest?! Hell must have frozen over.. (and he sold all of the stock shares to hell right beforehand and is the only one who saw it coming and walked away ballin').

God I love Gary. That apology was soo real. That's a real man.

Two incredible people whom I've learned so much from talking about real, practical stuff. Also Tim, I approve the beard.
I love the super real apology of Gary at the end and the intent to be super clear and out there to maintain that friendship.

Thank you two soooooo much for all you do.
This is how you know Gary respects someone's opinion... he looked enthralled when Tim was speaking. Loved this ep brother @garyvee 🙇♀️🙌
Tim’s 4 Hour Workweek changed everything for me when I read it in 2011. Thank you guys for so many insights
57:46 Gary realizes the truth about the universe
Love it!
haahhahahahahaahah
aHAHAHahhahah Holy shit! That was funny
Literally lol. You know some crazy shit was going on in his head.
LMAOO
Man, Gary's really dialed it back as a host. He's way more invested in what Tim is saying and hardly ever interrupts, and if he does it only adds to the conversation rather the derails it. Big ups

Nice
ITS ABOUT TIME YOU TWO COLLABED!!!!!!
WE NEED AN ONLINE SHARK TANK WITH GARY, TIM, TONY & TAI LOPEZ
Great episode! Tons of practical advice. "1-10 no 7" was my favorite
My office was flooded a few years ago and I lost so much equipment and furniture and Stuff I had for 15 years of running a company. And in hind sight it was one of the best things that happened to me. I stopped looking at things being so precious, I got rid of so much dead weight. I ended a working relationship that I was always on the losing side of. I found my own voice and confidence in doing things on my own. I became way more profitable, personally and professionally. And I stopped complaining and just did what needed to be done and was grateful to be doing it my way. Been Following both Tim and Gary for over a decade and love that they have been proven right so many times over.
Literal legends. I'm surprised the room didn't explode when that handshake at the end happened
thought thinking thought - I’m so glad someone else noticed!
Yes but who handshakes with their left hand? It’s a sign of disrespect
Says who?
Psychologists. Google it.
I learned so much from this episode. Personally, I found the idea of hip hop pushing the boundaries quite interesting. Looking at some of the best musicians in history (Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, e.t.c.), each artist knew all of the "rules" or parameters and revolutionized them.
For example, "The Well Tempered Clavier" by Bach was a huge success because it was interesting to a listener's ears. Bach took the laws of counterpoint and interpreted them in his own way. Beethoven, the grandfather of the orchestra, was the first to add voices to the symphony with "Ode to Joy". Mozart started learning piano when he was a young child. He knew all of the rules, and he loved to write satirical passages to make the music whimsical.
While these composers are now known as traditional and part of an older culture, during their time, they were revolutionary. They learned all of the rules so they could later make it their own.
Also, thank you Tim Ferris for the book. It's inspiring!
I went back to rehab for the second time but I finnaly got sober but that's because I found my passion. Photography and videography.
Great episode guys. Have a great rest of the week everyone! :)
Congrats!
Ensirius Thank you! :)
Congrats and keep it up man!
Jeff McNair Thanks man! :)
proud of you man! serious shit, keep goin!
"Short term favors for long term pain" - This is Gold. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Gary you are becoming a better listener in interviews!
Or maybe a less interrupter ;)
I think possibly because he knows Tim personally, its a little different but still a really good episode!
I was thinking the same!
The reality is you can’t reach Gary success without being a listener !!! I think Gary is a listener 1st and a speaker second !!! I just think that
Yes! So pumped for this episode! 🔥💯
Yeah, it's mind-blowing to think how many lives these two have impacted combined! If not a million, it'd have to be close to it!
It was awesome, and two of the greatest philosophers of our time in one room once again, creating a manifesto just in this video alone.
I know right!
great stuff as always :)
Me too! I also love your channel Sean it has helped me grow to almost 10K!
Never saw gary this silent and attentive listening to someone.. He is always the one talking or jump in between others talking. This is new!
One of the best #ASKGARYVEE - great to see Tim and Gary together, should make it a semi-regular feature! Thank you both
This may sound odd but my greatest success to date was actually losing the state championship wrestling match in high-school my senior year. I was disqualified by points.. I mean I got destroyed.. maybe from an objective point of view, but internally the lessons I learned from that loss has led me to sustain multiple victories in many different arenas since. It really was the greatest failure I ever lived. Thank you Tim and thank you Gary for reminding me of that memory.. onto the next championship match.
I'm so excited to watch this. I started listening to Tim Ferriss, when someone sent me a episode of his podcast to listen to on the same exact day that you did this interview. I've already learned so much from him and you. Thank you for all the heartfelt guidance you both provide.
Amazing episode. I admire you both so much.
To answer the Question of The Day: I went on “The Bachelor” thinking it was my big break... and it totally wasn’t. I was not only sent home on night one of the show, but I also had what is considered to be one of the most embarrassing moments of the show’s history.
This slapped me in the face with the reality of how naive I was and as a result, it presented me with what I really wanted in life and who I really wanted to become. I let go of the “fancy” and took the leap to “eat shit for however many years it takes” to build my own business teaching painting classes with an emotional / Hero’s journey twist, (which has been growing over the last 3 years). I finally began to WAKE UP to my own truths and started listening to people like you two.
So grateful for that failure, so that I could find myself watching this video right now. 💗
Thanks for sharing Kylie! Great point!
You're A badass keep going!
That was powerful when G. let the world see him! Humble and enormous, raw and sincere, it takes someone of strength to admit their flaws and ask for forgiveness. Awesome talk Gary & Timothy!
Getting fired by my best friends 3 years ago... basically gave me all my time back and finally kicked my ass into gear to start the business that I run today. Was devastating as I was a personal trainer and basically lost my entire client base to the gym. But 2 years of grind later.. I run my own food business that I took from $0 to $500,000 revenue and we continue to grow. I literally believe everything can be a positive
Such an awesome episode! To answer Tim's question, I think I'm still too young to fully know, what failure has lead to a blessing. However, there was one big setback that I guess has led me to a much better life. And I think many people will agree with me on this one. It was when I moved from Ukraine to USA. We all know it's not easy going from your home country to a place where you can't even understand anyone because you don't know the language. I came to America in 4th grade. I remember myself studying for hours and hours non stop, because it took me that much longer to try and understand what I'm trying to learn. I remember myself crying because you you try to read the book for the test, but half way through you realize that none of it was syncing in. But those struggles, and I'm sure a lot of people can relate, have taught me about patience and hard work. Because 8th grade, 4 years after coming to America, I went from Cs and Ds, to straight As. And that transformation will stick with me forever. Anyways, much thanks for the awesome content you guys provide!
So glad you are putting these on youtube. I kept missing them on Facebook even with being subscribed.
Yeah I agree, I actually ironically had it pulled up on FB because I thought he WASN'T going to share it on here, but then I saw it here, closed the FB tab and watched here instead. #YTFTW
This is like an unstoppable force, hitting an immovable object, resulting in mutual respect. Been admiring both of these gents for a minute. Great show.
Good morning sweet Gary.... Your honesty makes my heart soar... thank you for being open about the good, the bad and deep... love you
These guys are not only the GOATS if you consider impact and legacy, but its beautiful to see how they truly admire eachother!!
Some quality content right here...felt like the early episodes. Who remembers the golden era?
I’m glad you cleared the air Gary. You both are INCREDIBLE BEINGS.
Tim: I am a stylist and every time I lose a client I face huge disappointment. But always end up grateful for the loss because it allows room for new clients.
"What failure turned into a recipe for success?" About half a year ago I got laidoff from one of my jobs due to a technicality. It sucked, it was half of my income really, but for the month prior to that moment I started on my side hustle fully. Spent every second outside of my jobs on it. Within a day I had double the amount of time I could work on this project, now to be brand. I hustled greatly was able to make a business plan, website, multiple social media accounts, loads of content in a matter of two weeks.
I aimed for great things, and I still had great ambitions. This failure to some people's eyes was more than likely inevitable, even if I had quit the job instead, and it lead me to start being able to work on it much quicker.
How cute is Gary's chuffed little smirk when he says something he finds profound? It's like he impresses himself, gets a smile on his face that he tries to hold back a bit, but looks around to see if other people are impressed too. Cool interview.
Hearing Tim for the first time and OH MY GAWD what a smart guy he is.
Tim is gifted!! I would recommend Read that book!!!
Amazing episode. Dream come true! Gary & Tim you have both been tremendous mentors to me throughout the years. The failure of my first business left me almost broke and depressed, I studied the techniques Tim teaches about lifestyle design and automation paired with Gary's teachings on execution of social through authenticity, grit, and intent. My first loss in business (Almost 80K), forced me to be creative and have a lean business model that required less cash in my second venture. I now have a Sport's Media Company I can operate remotely that provides me the means to live the life I've always wanted. Thank you for all of your work I am eternally grateful to both of you
Great episode. I've been consuming less of Gary's content lately and focusing on myself and what I want in life all by DOING. But then he teams up with Tim... So please read on...
Tim is an interesting human being on too many levels NOT to watch this episode.
The answer to Tim's question: I was let go from my job of 3 years back in July. There were a lot of factors at play, but it was ultimately my fault. Coming to terms with that has been like lifting a huge weight from my soul. I'm in the process of starting a new business and (regardless of its success or failure) I will have at least had the privilege and opportunity to try.
We get one shot at this. Be a good human being and don't die with any regrets. 2 goals we should all seek to attain.
Mike Barker all the best bro.. Glad to hear you’re focusing on yourself. That was the biggest move I ever made after getting fired by my friends and having a terrible fallout. I started my own business after and it’s been 2 years.. I now see that firing as the best thing to have ever happened to me
The honesty and rawness of that apology and the Tim's acceptance... I might have teared a bit. Both of you were a giant influence since I was a teen and I'm so happy I look up to such good men. Bless xx
Thank you, Nicole, for asking that question. I am operating my own social media marketing business and I'm getting to the point where I'm getting to a max client amount and I need help. I appreciate that. Best of luck to you. Thanks for the content, Gary.
Gary being so in touch with his emotions with that apologize at the end .. GOD it got me in tears, i hate you guys you just melted my heart .
seriously tho, i really really love how Gary really stays true to himself, and don't let "ego" or anything of that kind to ruin his beautiful relationships,
it's so beautiful seeing that humans actually can stay humble, true, loving and caring no matter how much success or fame they have, and i'm so happy that Gary is the one who is proving it, he deserves all the recognition he has and i truly love him, not for the business insights ... etc but for how much love and caring he carries in his big heart, he's just a beautiful human being and thanks god i was born in a period of time when he's alive and i have the chance to be taught and "influenced" by him.
all love from Algeria ^^
Failure for future success: I failed to get that job at Mc. Donalds and now run my own business.
Bonus: I failed to buy the car I really really wanted and then 6 months later I get my parents van for so cheap and go on adventures in it all the time! Screw that stupid car xD
Haha wtf nice
That last moment apologizing and appreciating Tim was gold. Respect.
I was rejected for wanting to be an educator by a big brand for using a variety of other brands - that next day I started Curly Hair Artistry and am reaching around the globe with organic reach training others to do the same thing in developing a personal brand vision, live training sessions in USA and abroad and online courses with those that can not travel. Its been 4 years since my rejection and its people like Gary VEE and Tim F. that make an impact on what I do as there is no-one else ahead of me grinding and guiding me - so I am a pioneer in that I lead a journey helping others to do the same.
Thats AMAZING great insight thank you so much for sharing!
Best show so far. Speechless. Love when gary talks and fire up But "choosing" to listen this time, priceless.
Actually didn’t know of Tim before this interview. Really enjoyed the interview. You two couldn’t be more different in demeanor & intensity, which worked very well to make this video both informative & entertaining. 💪🏼💯
John Basedow The Tim Ferriss Show on Itunes might interest you then.
Appreciate the referral. :)
Gary, I have always had respect for you as an entrepreneur, mentor and public figure but after seeing and hearing the sincerity of that apology I can confidently say I respect you as a man and as an individual. Thank you for showing the world that even the Greats can be vulnerable at times and that there is true strength and influence in integrity.
INSANE Episode. Thanks for biting your tongue Gary! Super moment at the end as well.
Thank you Gary, its a true gift to have Tim on your show. He is a true light in this life.Gary your ability for Tim to share an not interrupt is Killer Man!!
Time for Gary to be in the TF podcast!
3 years in the making! These two guys have definitely changed my perspective on life and business.
QOTD: answer: dropping out of high school senior year. When I was an A-B student felt like a huge mistake at the time and everyone reminded me of that every single second. Deep down I knew it was the Right choice for me, but being young and everyone telling me I was wrong at the time felt like a huge mistake. I ended up getting my GED and going to collage years later; but having the backbone to make a big decision like that on my own and facing it head on into it despite everyone’s opinion around me. Looking back now learning to trust my self despite everyone’s opinion is the best lesson I learn in high school.
GaryVee admiration and respect for Tim was soooooooo obvious and I know why. GaryVee always preach "put out content, put out content." After I read "the 4 hour work week." I had to check out who is Tim Ferris and it was unbelievable how much research he has done to get his books out and the level of content and to date his Podcast is the example, challenge, marker and talk about for many. "You cannot Love other people Fully if you just tolerate yourself, so if not for yourself, for other people like your family and love ones you have to reconcile with bits and pieces inside of you." Tim Ferris-Priceless! Lots of love from Jamaica GaryVee. WOW! That apology had me melting.
I felt Gary's apology. Tim is a great and I feel I know Gary more because of his comment
This has got to be one of the best videos I have ever seen. Two inspirational leaders just giving so much value and then Gary's heartfelt apology to Tim (and Tim's response) is so sincere and courageous. A must watch..
I like this Tim so much better then earlier version. He seemed so sleazy from 4 hour work week. Hacking a championship title but losing the spirit of being a true champion just seemed sad but he has grown so much. It would be good if he discussed this more.
4 real feel the same way albeit for diff reasons
I respect you even more Gary, for apologizing publicly to Tim. You're a real one. Good on you!
Fuck yes, what a beautiful piece of content gents!!!!!!!!
blessing in disguise: having growth pains in my knees, which meant I couldn't run in my final year in high school. as a result, I spent my time studying, and got into Queen's, which led me to SWP, which led me to my current life!
D-Rock, get Gary and Tim in a room with a case of wine and your camera as the fly on the wall 🔥🔥🔥
haha oh shoot that would be amazing Jeff!
Jeff Kelly I'm a big fan of more personal setups where there's no specific end in mind. Great idea!
They are so different in how they talk, engage and even process info, yet they get to the similar thought or endpoint. 2 of my faves in one podcast. Loved it.
ALL TIME FAV THIS IS SO GOOD
"We're losing all of the time." You two are two of my heroes, and I really needed to hear that. I'm fighting my way back from a couple of major losses from the past two years, and I'm digging deep.
As usual, @garyvee is a stand-up guy. #respect
Awesome show and I love how Gary has taken a slight back foot and that he is not jumping into the conversation every 2 seconds and is allowing the guest to get their point across at length without interruption. This show has developed so much in the last few months, love it.
Sadhguru on the AskGaryVee Show!!
Steven Silva Dias surprised someone even knows about Sadhguru in Vayneenation!
Gary and Sadhguru are speaking the same thing to me!! Definatley would get Gary Market and Brand Awareness in India!! Sadhguru is the right person to be president of India in 2019. I seriously Pray these two get together on some type of Collaboration.. Really would be amazing
OMG, If it happens ... Man that will be hooter than fire !
The two of you together on a show is the best show in the business category I have ever seen. I hope that the two of you put out more content together. I would buy the shit out of a book that the two of you collaborate on. Thanks for being such great virtual mentors!
Best episode to date
I almost cried at the end there! Go Gary and Tim keep winning boys! See you guys soon!
1:06:06 great moment
Agreed! @GrantCardone needs to step up next.
This podcast format is way better, you’re doing it right Gary. I love it.
1:00:00 o wow I got to try that. It can always work.
Simple round up for the time poor:
- Enjoy being the underdog
- Learn to give a direct no without clauses
- If you’re unsure if entrepreneurship is for you take on a simple and easy entrepreneurial project to see if it feels natural (eg. flip something on ebay for a profit)
- Make calculated decisions to mitigate financial risk but don’t get stuck on emotional decisions that prevent you from taking action
- Practice getting comfortable with discomfort (eg. consistently ask for 10% off your coffee)
- Take perspective on the macro outcome and don’t focus on the micro losses
Today...IS A GOOD DAY
Finally, Gary is quiet and isn't interrupting and speaking over his guests or telling them that he knows what they are going to say (which by the way I think demonstrates low EQ). Great episode!
I love gary but it is so hilarious to see him trying so hard to seal his mouth...
Almost all of my failures and suffering/sad moments are a blessing in disguise. Ive never loved failing as much as today
Please Gary, DO NOT INTERRUPT him dawg!!
getting better at interviewing Gary! day and night between this and the seth godin interview.
QOTD: Most of my childhood lol. Biggest ones:
1) Moving many times in younger years. while i don't have any "roots", that also means nothing is tying me down. Allows me to be open and take jobs across the country. No worries about making new friends, or if I'll be lonely.
2) Bad relationships and jobs. Some situations are bad, and only get better when you leave it. The world is big, you don't have to confront everything. Get up and leave, if it's not worth your time.
Awesome episode!
Agreed Krysten! Have a good week!
One failure that turned out to be exactly what I needed was dropping out of art school. If I hadn’t have done that I don’t think I would’ve had the urgency to buckle down and hone my skills on my own. That first year was difficult but i learned the meaning of believing in the journey, work ethic, and determination. Looking back I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything.
Thanks guys for this awesome talk and congrats Kevin Rose!
Plz plz plz make a video on logical thinking
Gary V - your advice to college kids in Tribe of Mentors was one of the greatest pieces of advice I have ever received - Micro Patience, Macro Speed!
Get you somebody who looks at you the way Gary Vee looks at Tim Ferris @ 4:29
LOL
Hahahah perfect!
My god the way they’ve talked about scaling literally hit the nail on the head. Exactly what I needed to hear from Tim.. forcing yourself to create systems so you don’t become the bottleneck of the business. I definitely am the bottleneck right now cuz almost everything has to go through me
Holy fuck I almost cried at the end 😭♥️
I was deeply depressed and lonely, very isolated a year or 2 after high school and that pushed me into self development and I can now approach and talk to a bunch of girls and different people with confidence and my social circle has been on an upward spiral ever since.
