The GaryVee Audio Experience

In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, I break down the two extreme places the courage to be creative actually comes from — having nothing to lose, or having incredible depth of knowledge and conviction. I go back to the first episode of Wine Library TV in February 2006, when I was 31 years old and had already spent more than half my life studying wine, and I explain why no sommelier in England or France or Italy was ever going to walk up on me and expose me for not knowing my sh*t.

You'll learn about:

• The Two Extremes That Produce Creative Courage

• Depth of Knowledge as the Other Path

• Why Silly Works When the Substance Is Real

• How to Build Conviction Before You Press Record

In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down on Social Currency for a wide-ranging interview on 20 years of creating content. We get into why social media is dead and interest media is the new reality, why quantity isn't debatable, and the "and not or" doctrine I keep coming back to with AI and IRL. I share how staying in my lane builds confidence on camera, why technology is undefeated and you can't squeeze the tomato through the internet, the 15/85 system that's running my career right now, and why analog businesses are the 1965 play of 2036.

In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Rashawn Dhanraj of Adobe Brand Studio and Grace Kao of Snap at Cannes for a panel on AI and creativity. I unload on why the industry is doing AI wrong — bringing subjective audacity and insecurity to the tools instead of curiosity and awarding itself for work that doesn't move the business. I get into why strategists have the biggest upside with AI, why the algorithm is just consumer attention, and why media and creative should never have been separated.

In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Naveen, founder of Glance, at Cannes 2026 to talk about agentic commerce — the first time in 30 years the user interface of how people buy things is going to change. We discuss why agents will quietly handle the categories you don't care about so you have more time for the ones you love. I also explain why brands that aren't structuring their websites and content to be read by agents will have no opportunity of being bought.

I share why hiring around your weaknesses, hosting your own podcast, and choosing culture over money are the unlocks most operators are still missing.

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down on the CoinDesk Gen C Podcast to talk about why AI is the biggest thing since the internet and why too many people are stuck in "no culture" instead of "maybe culture." I share why the human being is the most underrated thing in the world, and how a 16 year old in rural Peru or the outskirts of Pittsburgh now has unprecedented opportunity. I also discuss why this explosion of AI is the precursor to the explosion of analog, and why brand is about to be put on a pedestal in the agentic era.

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Daniel Wall, the host of Behind the Wall to discuss the foundational elements of my success: gratitude, hard work, and the influence of my parents. I dive deep into why I’m obsessed with providing value to my audience and why "kind candor" is the most important skill I’ve developed in the last five years. I also share my latest platform predictions for creators looking to stay ahead of the curve.

Today’s episode is a throwback mashup from 2020 where I talk about overcoming the fear of being judged and why change is a good thing as long as you maintain balance. I bet this hits home for many of you.
