Business Advice You’ve Been Waiting For…...

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

On today's episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, we’re diving into the first-ever Backseat Q&A — a raw, no-filter format recorded mid-travel (yes, background noise included 🚀). Gary tackles hard-hitting personal and professional questions, covering everything from toxic family business dynamics to managing team chaos in high-growth companies. Whether you're trying to escape a bad situation, scale a side hustle, or calm down the financial pressure in your 20s, this episode is full of real talk, deep mindset shifts, and tactical advice.

💥 One of the most powerful moments? Gary’s take on why doing things to impress others will always slow you down, while doing it for yourself unlocks long-term success.

We talk about:

  • The tough truths behind nepo babies in family businesses

  • Why first-time managers often fail (and how to avoid it)

  • Sales vs. marketing when you’ve only got 3 hours a day

  • The truth about going viral — is it skill or luck?

  • Crushing financial anxiety in your 20s

  • Why self-accountability is the unlock for peace and power

  • The emotional weight of complaining vs. sharing struggles

  • Materialism, living within your means, and how credit cards might be society’s biggest trap

🎯 Whether you're a fresh grad, an overwhelmed manager, or stuck in a family biz, this is a must-listen. Tune in, reflect, and get ready for a wake-up call.
