What To Do If You Don't Want To Go To Co...

Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

If you’re 25, you could literally die and live an entirely new life up to this point, and you’d still barely be at “halftime.”

That’s why I tell so many 18, 22, 25, and 30 year olds to just put their head down and grind for a decade - if they have the ambition to build something for the rest of their lives.

In this podcast with Pencils of Promise founder Adam Braun, I talk more about what to do if you don’t want to go to college, what to do after high school, and more.

1:49 - advice on what to do after high school if you don't want to go to college

4:25 - understanding comes with doing

8:15 - when you're 18 you just have to put your head down for 15 years
