About this episode

Today's episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience is A throwback to a fireside chat I did in 2018 with Michael Ovitz! When you’re the CEO of a company, you deal with enormous pressure knowing that you’re the last line of defense. My entire day is about putting out fires. I have to deal with things like HR issues, client problems, even roof leaks (old news) and I love it. Really enjoyed sitting down with Michael Ovitz back in 2018 at Summit to talk about what it takes to be a CEO and running a business in a “post-internet” world.

Enjoy! Let me know what you thought!
