About this episode

🔥 In this episode ofThe GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down withIlana Golan, host of the Leap Academy podcast for a deep dive into the journey of entrepreneurship, personal branding, and the mindset it takes to win.


💡 I get real about my early days—selling baseball cards, working for $2 an hour in my dad’s liquor store, and building a $60M business before striking out on my own. We also cover why personal branding isnon-negotiable in today’s world and how fear is the #1 killer of dreams.


🔑We talk about:

  • 🚀The immigrant hustle—why I had no choice but to be an entrepreneur
  • 💡Personal branding = career insurance (you NEED to build yours)
  • 🔥Fear vs. optimism—which one are you choosing?
  • 💰Why making millions won’t guarantee happiness (but purpose will)
  • 🎯The biggest mistakes people make in career decisions
  • How to avoid regret & take control of your future




This episode is amust-listen for entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone looking to break free from limitations. If you’re playing it safe, it’s time to change the game. 🎧🚀
