GaryVee’s Thoughts on Standing Out, Validation, and the Importance of Patience

Standing out in the crowded digital world is harder than ever. With AI making content creation easier, the real challenge is staying authentic without “selling out.”

In this episode, I break down what really makes people win on social media, why “value” is subjective, and how understanding your unique strength is the ultimate advantage. I also get real about the biggest failures of my career—including missing out on a $800 million opportunity—and what they taught me about making bold moves.

💡 We talk about:
✅ Why real success comes from doing, not just teaching
✅ The biggest myths in social media marketing (and what actually works)
✅ How curiosity leads to massive opportunities
✅ The worst advice people believe about failure
✅ Why patience is the most underrated skill of all time
✅ How ignoring outside validation can change your life

👀 If you’re holding back from posting, overthinking your content, or waiting for the “right time”—this episode is for you.
