MicroVee: If You Think Money Will Make Y...

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

Think more money means more happiness? Think again.

In this episode, I go all in on one of the most misunderstood ideas out there — that success, fame, or financial wins automatically lead to fulfillment. Spoiler alert: they don’t.

Whether you're on the come-up or already living with some wins, this episode will challenge how you define “success.” I talk about keeping life simple, the emotional toll of chasing more, and how gratitude and perspective are the real ROI.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to keep climbing — or you're scared of what happens if you lose what you’ve built — this one's for you.



We talk about:

  • 💡 Why keeping it simple beats chasing clout

  • 🧠 How happiness before the money is the real secret

  • 💸 Why “more” doesn’t mean “better”

  • 🫂 What really matters when life gets real

  • 🎯 Why losing something is scarier than never having it

  • 💬 The danger of defining happiness through other people’s lenses



This is one of those episodes I want every young entrepreneur, creator, and dreamer to hear. If you’re in your head about money, status, or pressure from the outside world… take a breath and press play.
