Our Editor's Take

The GaryVee Audio Experience podcast is the place to learn a whole lot about business and life. And who better to share his expertise on the topic than entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk? Gary is well known for his business acumen, public speaking, and bestselling books.

Fans have nicknamed the host "GaryVee." This is where The GaryVee Audio Experience title comes from. The world of business has always interested Gary. He discovered how to make money at school by selling lemonade and baseball cards. He then worked for his father, stacking shelves at 14. He went on to introduce changes that transformed the family wine business. But his keynote presentation at a conference in New York City in 2008 transformed his life. He's now seen worldwide as an expert in entrepreneurship and marketing strategy. He claims he's working towards his dream of owning the New York Jets one day.

His popular podcast has been running since 2014, amassing many hundreds of daily episodes. The GaryVee Audio Experience features regular segments. Those include keynote Saturday speeches from around the US. Listeners can learn how to unlock the power of their personal brand, thanks to a speech Gary gave in Atlanta, Georgia. The host talks about harnessing social media platforms and discusses innovations like NFTs. In another keynote speech, Gary discusses how to market a brand like a reality TV show. In his opinion, reality TV shows are all about truth, which should be the same for brands.

In regular "Morning Tea with Gary" sessions, guests from various industries interview Gary. In one session, he advises musicians on what non-music content they should create. In another session, the topic is about finding one's self-worth. Gary talks with self-awareness that comes from his own experience. Whether listeners work for a big brand or are small business owners, the host's advice is valuable.

Another popular segment is a simple Q&A where Gary answers questions from listeners. These can be questions from specifics of paid marketing to Gary's personal life. Episodes vary in length from a quick 15 minutes to under an hour and drop every weekday.
