How Anyone Can Make $1,000,000 in 24 Months: How to Start Live Shopping in 2026

GaryVee delivers an energetic monologue urging the audience to seize the opportunity in live social shopping, a trend already worth half a trillion dollars in China. He insists that by buying any product at wholesale and selling it on platforms like TikTok Shop or Whatnot, anyone willing to work hard can earn $1 million in profit within 24 months. He challenges the crowd to take accountability, stop making excuses, and stop blaming external factors like the economy, parents, or politicians. Instead, he advocates for a mindset of self-control and action. GaryVee also addresses AI as a transformative wave, comparing it to past innovations like the tractor or internet. He advises spending 100-200 hours learning AI tools to ride the wave rather than being crushed by it. He criticizes modern consumerism, noting that people waste money on luxuries while claiming to be broke, and suggests talking to grandparents for perspective on frugality. Using his own story of working 100-hour weeks for his father’s business without pay for years, he emphasizes that true success comes from loving the process, not fixating on money. He concludes that winners focus on their own growth, avoid jealousy, and remain humble, curious, and relentless in pursuing their goals.

Buy anything at wholesale that people buy. Anything. Sure. Hat. Toothpaste. Go on TikTok shop and I'll want not and start selling it. Go hard and every single person here can make a million dollars in profit a year and 24 months. Dead. But I'm telling you, live social shopping, it's a half a trillion dollar industry in China. This already happened. Every single person in this room, if you're willing to work, will make one million dollars in profit. Selling plants, glasses, mugs, ties. Tell me why not one person in this room in 24 months is going to do what I just said. You're looking to figure yourself out, how to put you in a position to do what I just said. That is what I'm here for. This is the GaryVee audio experience. [CLAPPING] Someone believes that money is freedom. They're already enslaved to money. What you're looking for is freedom from money. From money. Not that I'm going to provide you freedom. Correct. My favorite that I get. Oh, Gary, but you're all happy in like this now because you made it. I'm like, motherfucker, I made it because I was this happy and liked the whole way. [INAUDIBLE] You know, it's always these things, and it's only this. There's a million ways to make money. I'll do it right now. Buy anything at wholesale that has a higher retail value and go on TikTok shop and whatnot. The app and sell it on live shopping because the QVC of social media is now here. Buy anything that people buy. Anything. Shirt, hat, toothpaste. Buy it at wholesale. Oh, Gary, how do I get it at wholesale? Use Chatchy B.T. and be like, I want to buy toothpaste wholesale. [LAUGHTER] Take it in. Go on TikTok shop and I'll whatnot and start selling it. Go hard, and every single person here can make a million dollars in profit a year and 24 months. Dead ass. Now let's stop. Play with me here. Who here would like to make a million dollars for themselves? Not the business makes a million. I'm talking to business makes three million. You make a million. Who would like to? Who would it be better for in this room to make a million dollars? Take home in 24 months than what you're doing now. Please stand up. Stand up. I want to see. Might not be for everyone? I just want to see who. Sit down. Thank you. OK. Now let's keep playing. 75, 80% of the rooms stood up. I'm going to say it slow. By any-- obviously, the more work you put into what I'm saying, more research, with Chatchy B.T. for free, the more upside you have. But by anything at wholesale, meaning you have to buy-- if you buy something for $10, but then you Google it or go to Amazon, and it's $9, you're out. If you buy something for $5, that you can't find anywhere else for less than $9, you need to have profit. But I'm telling you-- and I think some of you have been following me long enough-- that you know I'm good at this trends thing-- live social shopping. It's a half a trillion dollar industry in China. I'm not no shardomist. This already happened, just in a different part of the world. How many people have what not on their phone right now? Raise your hand. Not bad. 9, 12, right? Probably how many have what not because of me on your phone? Raise your hand. All right, OK. The same nine. What not is going to do 10 billion in sales in GMB? Gross merchandise value. $10 billion worth of stuff this year is going to sell on what not. In the US, 7 to 10 billion-- you can't get into private company, we're all trying to figure out what it is. It's going to do 7 to 10 billion in sales on an app that no one in this fucking room ever heard of. So I'm going to keep chopping some wood here. I'm telling all of you that every single person in this room-- if you're willing to work 9 to 7, 9 to 8-- like, I can't have you work 9 to 1-- will make $1 million in profit. Now, Andrew, tell me why not one fucking person in this room in 24 months is going to do what I just said. That is what I live for. That is why I'm here. That is what I'm curious about. And that leads me to, you're not looking for information how to make money. You're looking to figure yourself out how to put you in a position to do what I just said. Does that make sense? Right? I told you, I'm right. I am right. Now listen, we can get very detailed. Someone's like, Gary, I'm $13,000 in debt. How do I even start? I don't have the money. Like, go $16,000 in debt. Credit card companies love to fuck you. So get that first $3,000 that way. I don't know. Fucking go to that shady ass student, the fucking city who will loan shark your ass. Take that $2,000 from him. You might die, but if you listen to me, you'll pay him back and you'll be on your way. There is always a way until you've decided there's not. And that's actually my biggest concern right now. And the biggest concern I have right now is the mechanism. I don't believe in this matrix and all this, but human culture right now has all of you believing that it's hard. My favorite, Gen Z. All day long in social, they're getting fed propaganda. You have it worse than your parents. This is the most fucked up generation. Fuck the boomers, they fucked it for you. I know $40,000, 23 year olds making a million dollars a year. You can literally now sit in your fucking bedroom and make videos on TikTok and fucking cook. This is the greatest era for a 22 year old. Who's over 45? Raise your hands. Could you imagine if we had this shit, we had a work in fucking Kmart and Burger King and pay our dues. Mother fucking kids are going into corporations right now thinking they should be senior vice presidents. Everyone who just raised their hand over 45, we didn't say a fucking word for the first five years. This is the greatest era to be a kid. And now AI is here. Are you kidding me? So cool, you can read some chart that says something about the macro financial system in the world. The fuck does that have to do with you? You as a kid are fucking weaponized with your phone with a supercomputer, an unlimited opportunity and unlimited time. But because you believe it, you're dwelling. I don't believe that, Andrew. I do not believe the people that sell fear. And I do not believe the people that sell negativity. I believe it's fully in their own self interest. I think parents sell fear to kids out of their fear of their kid getting hurt because they love them so much. So it is their self interest, not instilling good things for their kids. I think politicians are on a fucking historic run of selling fear on both sides of the aisle. And I think you fucking people listen to them. And I think you should stop. You got more to go from that one? We're going to go to-- Let's bounce around. You'll bounce out. Anywhere you want to go. All right, let's go to my favorite time right now that you talk about. AI. Yes. Because you have a very unique look inside of it. I'll even say a little bit behind the scenes of that, maybe other people are always seeing. What do you see with AI happening right now with businesses on right now? Who's over 50? Raise your hands. You should be winning this game here at Y. You watched in the early part of your career, computers and the internet come in and change paper and facts, machines, and beapers. And so that means you've seen historically a very big technology come along and reshape everything. This is absurdly big. I cannot tell you how big this is. It is so big. But I think it's big good. And again, I know I'm by myself up here. I know everyone's like, this is bad and I'm going to get fired and everything's bad and the robots and humanity and bad and I'm a rapper and my shit's fucked up and it's bad. It's all bad. But I'm going to bet it's not. I think it's going to change then. When the tractor was invented, 85% of humanity worked on farms and that was bad until it was actually good. And I think it's going to advance us. Do I think people are going to get caught up? Yes. But I also don't see anyone in this room. They didn't cry for the biggest salespeople of the yellow pages when Google came along and wiped them out. Obviously, any of you crying for the yellow taxi cab medallions that used to be worth a trillion dollars in Manhattan before Uber came along? You're not crying for them? Oh, you're crying for you. Oh, when Amazon came and killed every bookstore, you didn't fucking rally. You didn't give a fuck because it didn't affect you. You're paying attention because it's scared it's going to affect you. So now the question becomes, what are you going to do about it? I have good news for you about AI. will be historic. correctly feel it very much. AI is one of the biggest title waves of our time. It's coming. You know it's coming. Who here is aware that AI is brewing and it's going to be a big deal? Raise your hands. Good. That means your excuses in 36 months of AI fucking you up by you raising your hand is now null and void. If it fucks you, it's your fault. You know. So now the question is what are you doing about it? Many of you are shitting on it thinking your subjective opinion on your Facebook group and in your kitchen has anything to do with anything. You like that one? I like it too. I think it's funny. Like, okay, like you think it's bad for humanity and stop dwelling about it and coming up with excuses because you don't want to put in the 100 hours of work to understand how to use it. Go grab a surfboard and ride this wave. That surfboard is your 200 hours of work and learnings and using it. Or do what I think a lot of you were doing. Here is your AI strategy with the title wave coming. Head in the sand, praying for luck, hoping the government regulates it, hoping something miraculous happens or just hoping you're old enough and you just won't be affected by it that much. I don't know what to say. Here's my answer on it. I believe every person here, if motivated by my words, should go home and spend 100 hours as quickly as possible, preferably over the next 100 hours. But I know people are living life, so I'll take the next 1000 hours, 100 of your next 1000 hours awake. And I want you to download every AI player perplexity, Gemini, definitely chat GBT. I want you all of you on social media. I want you on Twitter next using GROC. I want you to use Facebook and Instagram search because it's AI enabled and I want you to get comfortable. Everybody, I hope you're enjoying the podcast right now. Make sure you follow the podcast. That's why I'm interrupting. Let's keep going on this show, but follow the podcast. They'll make my mom super happy. Here's the craziest shit about AI. You don't need me. You don't need me to tell you things up here. You literally go to AI and say, AI, I'm a lawyer. What are the five best apps as of this month to use for a lawyer in AI? Enter apps download play. Next, AI, chat GBT. I am a fashion designer. What are the four best apps that have popped up in the last four months that I should know about download to make me more efficient with AI? Enter answers four links. Click download play in it. We have become unbelievably good at pointing fingers. We blame everybody for everything. The government, big tech, Mark Zuckerberg, fucking Trump Biden, our parents, you don't get to carry my mom with an alcoholic. No shit. We have gotten remarkable about, like my question is, so many of us grew up with adversity. At what age are you allowed to take accountability for everything in your life? I ask all of you. What is the age? Like, by the way, listen, I hope my tone is not lost. People grow up with some shit. Like I am not sitting here, right? Like people grow up with some shit. But you know this. Your shit feels bigger because it's yours. I promise you, whoever is like, man, my shit, you don't get to carry, I promise you probably the person either to the left or right of you had a worse. And so I ask you, when is it all your fault? Is it 18? I think so. Is it 22? Is it 30? Is it 40? Like, when is it time for you to be like, yeah, bad neighborhood, yeah, dad was a narcissist, yeah, grew up in a bad economic time, yeah, picked the wrong industry, yeah, like got forced into a college by my parents and I shouldn't have taken on that death. Like, yeah, like, but when is it you today? My man today. So, you know, AI, you think Sam Ultman invented AI? Come on. Come on. Wake up. It's called evolution. Some other fucker bought 50,000 horses the day before the car was invented. Oh, you want to be in business and entrepreneurship? What the fuck do you think this is? You better be lucky enough that someone like me doesn't decide to be in the business you're in. So, what are we talking about? This is real life. And so, I think everyone here can do it. But I think we have to get out of over coddling and pointing fingers and we got to get back to some shit that works, which is I am in control. I am capable. By the way, self-awareness too. I suck at a lot of things. But just because you suck at a lot of things doesn't mean you're a loser. Doesn't mean you suck. If you suck at a lot of things, that doesn't mean you suck. It means you're a human being. We got to get our self-esteem up. We got to get our accountability up. And most of all, we got to recalibrate what an necessity is and what's a luxury. Everyone's like, "I'm broke. I'm like, stop buying 37 dollar fucking martinis." You don't get it. It's not affordable. I'm like, "I do get it. You buy Starbucks three times a day." I grew up in neighborhoods where every single person had a used car. I haven't seen a used car in 30 years. People fucking leasing new shit with money they don't have. Everybody's got six handbags. My friend's father when I was growing up had one pair of pants and shirt. He wore a shoes in every day. People that are broke have closets. Your mother fuckers are signed up to seven different streaming services. We need to talk to our grandparents. That's what we really need to do. You want some good advice? Go talk to your grandparents. I'm gonna start fucked up. Go find some other old people. We just got to get back to things. We got to get to back to basics mentally and we got to get to the future physically. Got it? You got to get on that AI kick physical. You like that was good. Like that. But your mindset needs to be 1939. But your activities need to be 20, 39. Winners don't tear down people. They're too busy winning and actually cheering for everyone else. It's incredible. AI, I am a winner. But more importantly, I actually believe my mother parented me so well that I don't even have it in my mind to contemplate envy and jealousy if someone else's success. Because A, as a rational human being, no one else's success, even a direct competitor is actually coming out of your pocket. And B, why would you waste the energy on jealousy and envy? Because it's clearly taking away from you putting in the work. And I say I don't like using luck because I think luck is the weapon of choice of losing players. But I did get fortunate that my natural DNA is not jealous and envious. And that my mother parented me in a manner that didn't accept it or encourage it. So I am aware that I sit here where in a room where a lot of people's DNA naturally took them that way. Or the people they looked up to, their parents or older siblings did instill that. I have many relatives even in my own siblings. They're different than me. But I beg on you, if you're sitting here listening to me, if you do find yourself jealous or upset of a competitor or somebody in your Instagram feed, you must curtail that energy. It is fucking you up. It is complete waste of time. Everybody who hates me every hour right now on Instagram has done nothing to stop me. But they've done a lot to stop themselves. The fuck are you worried about me for? So anyway, I laugh a lot when people actually saw a clip today where someone's like, fuck, Gary Vee, he grew up rich. I'm like, no, no, I made my dad rich. I spent 22 to 34. This is why for a lot of you who've seen my content a long time, I talk about patience. When I started VaynerMedia, my biggest company, VaynerMedia, VaynerX that holds all the agencies will do $350 million in revenue this year. Revenue. Not valuation. Revenue. I started that company 14 years ago. In another company's conference room, because I had no money to pay rent. Because I spent 22 to 34 working 100 hours a week, including Saturdays, because that's the only way you get to that many hours. And Sundays, building a business for my father. And we were in, how many people here are immigrants? So how many people here have worked in an immigrant family business? Raise your hand. So all of the people that just raised their hand will really understand what I'm about to say. Not only did I take my dad's business from three to 60 million sales and a hell of a lot more profit. And I worked 100 hours a week. That man did not fucking pay me. I literally took that business from three to two. 25 million in the first five years and went from making 38,000 a year to 45. I mean this. I mean this. The thing I'm most proud of is that I had the emotional strength, the patience, and the understanding of how life actually works to devote the greatest years of my working capacity life when I was single and had nothing else to do to build a business for my father. And then I started building mine. And that is a level of pride that I sit up here with that will never be replicated no matter how many. I mean I truly believe, I mean it's fun to be sitting with here. You know how passionate I'm about this. I truly believe that I'm going to build Pokemon and Marvel. Do you know that Pokemon's worth a hundred billion dollars? That's right. And so like I know I'm going to build it. You know I'm going to build it. You've been there from day one. I'm going to build it. It's going to happen. And yet it will be the biggest thing I build. It's the company that will allow me to buy the New York Jets if that plays out timing wise. And still it will be a distant second to building wine library for my father. Wow. I believe one of the reasons a lot of you have not maximized the financial success I assume. I mean I don't know why I was the fuck you'd be at a conference at 9 a.m. Friday in DC. I assume you're trying to build right? I genuinely believe a lot of you are struggling to get to where you want to. Not like struggling but you're not you know like you got something. Fuck I want to do 10 million instead of one million or I want to do 3 million instead of 400,000. I genuinely believe this. I don't say this a lot and I put out a lot of content so this is going to be a good nugget. I think it's because you care too much about that part. I genuinely believe the reason I and many people you know because a focus group of one is useless to all of you. I mean I observe that really cook really cook. I think they're detached from the success of the money. I just do. I just do think like like I was think about who I how many people you have a good feel of who I am they follow me just by show of hands. Thank you. That means you know I'm ambitious. I'm hungry. I'm building. I'm grinding. I turn 50 in a month and I'm waking up at 430 to speed and then run back to the Javits Center. I'm gonna be at that Javits Center like I'm at a flea market slinging shit. I mean it and then at 7 I'm gonna go and have dinner with three or four of the biggest comic book artists because I'm trying to break into comics and I'm gonna have the humility even a word omit to go you know and then I'm gonna go live stream tonight from 10 to midnight. Like this is the point of my career where I'm supposed to be in the country club and all that and I'm not doing it because of the money. I'm doing it because I love this game. I'm doing it because it's joyful. I'm doing it because I'm curious of how big can I make it. It's like a kid you know you know who's one kid that always stops me in my tracks when I run through life is what I'm gonna be. I'm just walking maybe with my wife. I was like whatever. I'm walking and I'm just a kid building a castle you know like at 830 in the morning and then later I do another walk on the beach and it's like 1 pm and a kid is still building. It's like I'm like I fucking get you kid. That kid is just building. He's just how can he make this castle. She make this castle before mom and dad say knock it down and we got to go eat and if you've seen this kid and I think somebody you have I assume some people have been to beaches. Kid cooks all day and then mom's like it's dinner time and he just smashes it. Smiles and bounces. That is who I am as a businessman as an entrepreneur and I believe a lot of you need to find that simplicity and joy in the game because I think the financial thing is wrapping you up. It's making you tight. It's making you tense. It's making you scared. And then I realized that it got me to the next place which is why and that's what got me into my content the last seven or eight years of like insecurity versus self-esteem. Why are you doing it for them? The reason I'm never scared is if I failed in all my businesses I really don't care what you think about me failing. In the same way that I can't hear you when you all just cheered for me I can't hear you when you boo for me. I don't play for you. I do not play for you. The greatest clip in the history of cinema was when Ivan Drago lost to Rocky in the Soviet Union and he grabs the mic and I speak Russian so I knew what he said before they translated it for you but he loses if you remember and he cries to the premier he's like "mother fuckers I wasn't fighting for Russia in this ring. I was fighting for me." And you guys have to get that mindset because a lot of you are worried about what everybody thinks about your house or your car or your chain or your bank account and that is why it's not as big as you want it to be. Is it? Sure. I'm here. I'm here. I know where I'm at and I'm posting about comic books right now on my social and I friends like friends they're like yo it's not a good look I'm like fuck you. What do you mean it's not a good look? What would you like me to post? Me being in a private plane does that make you happy? You want me to sling a $500,000 watch? You want me to show my Rashid Johnson piece of art in my house? What would you like me to do to be a good look for you? Johnny. When you do it for you you become free. I'm not embarrassed to post about comic books. I'm plain for me and then the truth will be the truth either I'm right or I'm wrong and I'm comfortable with being right or wrong. I need you all to get there because then you will do the moves that are required to build big because the reason you're not as big as you can be is you're scared to make the moves. You want someone else's cosine? Andrew do you know many people I've asked for business advice in my life? Zero. Now this is important as I got an older I'm like maybe I you know it's like anything in life anything too extreme is always wrong I think I went to insular I could have probably used a couple of mentors or advices along the way but I just stayed in my own cocoon because that's where I felt safest it was just good in the lab it's just good and I don't want other people's advice because other people's advice comes from there yesterday and I'm playing for my tomorrow. That was good. I've never said that before. Yeah. I just you know if you notice when I talk about mentors like when I put out advice I'm like pretty high level contextual because I know your shits too unique so it's hard for me to tell you you need to do this well you might not be like me well Gary I'll give you a great example real estate my friends the tax code is written for real estate it's good I own none none I don't like it I'm not interested in it because I am not trying to maximize financially I'm trying to maximize creatively enjoyability fun I don't know if you know this you all we're not born for a long time the world has been going around for a very long time and you all just got here and I don't know if you know this but you're going to die and when you do it's over and I know some spiritual shit you come back as a squirrel I get that shit but putting that aside this is it and so you're not born for a long time and you're dead forever so what the fuck are you doing while you're here maximize for joy in fact I would argue I want a lot of you in this room to make less money leaving here let me say what I mean by that a lot of you are hurting on happiness and if you made $200,000 less you'd be really happy and I think that's a trade that's worth it as long as that's like from 700 to 500 you know there's you know there's necessities if you're at 250 and you go to 50 that's a lifestyle change but I'm telling you we got to fight for joy and especially in these times you know I was an F D&F student real bad like the worst but I was really good at history and as I've gotten older I've realized it's because history tells you the future and like I'm sure it's not lost on anybody especially sitting right here in DC it's not like tomorrow culture is going to get light again for a lot of us the next 20-30 years is going to continue to be heavy it's going to take a minute for us to pendulum swing back together we're getting pulled apart which always is causing tension so in a world where the outside is even more tense than ever your inside needs to be more calm than ever and so I need you this is this is mindset to business business is hard entrepreneurship is lonely. I wake up every morning 100% of the world that I live is my fault, my responsibility on me. I got nobody else. Nobody else. I can't turn to no one. It's all on me and I have 3,000 employees in VATERX and fucking one of my best guys fucking had a stroke is in big trouble and like that's just a emotional let alone what I have to do to replace him leading a huge company and I have Singapore and I fucking London and I've LATTAM and like every day and I'm in my shit with my people so every day someone's being diagnosed with cancer and having a miscarriage and sick at a house burnt down and like father died I'm getting that email every day now because I want to know everything about every employee so that's heavy emotionally and then what about financially you lose a client this this shit is warfare. Back when you remember when we used to travel it would you have to fill out the forms now so I'll digital but and you'd have to put occupation the last three years I did that about five seven years ago every time under occupation I wrote firefighter. Real talk A because I fucking love firefighters, big ups to them and B I truly believe that's my life because I'm literally sleeping but I'm prepared for my phone to ring and I got to do something and that's what this game is so when it's that why the fuck do you think it's so hard? Why do you think so few people achieve social media, mainstream media the way the world is has you fucked up you're overpaying attention to one twenty three year old that became a billionaire. The top one percent of financial earners in America the richest country in the world make four hundred forty seven thousand dollars a year some sort of number like that six hundred thousand maybe even please somewhere around four to five six hundred thousand a year puts you in the one percent yet all of us are walking around like if you don't make ten million a year you're a fucking loser that does not add up we need a mindset shift but for someone like me this is I was born to be a firefighter I love this game I need you to figure out what you love in fact some of you need to become number two's and three's not number once you'll make more money and be happier in fact some of you need to close one of your businesses that might make three hundred thousand but it's bringing all your stress so your other shit actually goes up in fact you guys have to start looking this at chess too many of your plane checkers we need to fucking change the script one of the questions is you use a lot of different words like like mother fucker shit fucks it sorry about that for those that weren't ready for this but you were it's like empathy and love and patience there's a lot of words to use and my key words if you could this is we're sitting today with you know me know me you're one of our close-up team if you set this home for this room today for the rest of the day with one word word self-awareness my friends be you you have no idea how crazy my path was to like where I am in the business world I came out like came out really no eight oh nine everybody told me to be everything I wasn't actually back to the joke I just made when I sign with C.A. the big speaking bureau they said Gary you could be a big speaker but we're gonna help you right here right now I'm like okay let's do it they're like you have to stop person I'm like fuck you but for a lot of you I'm a sure and I apologize because we all grew up different this is my Jersey boy immigrant shit some of you grew up with a grandma from the south who said cursing is the devil when people offended or don't like my style I respect that they're right not me I'm just not capable of not being me right the world came to me in 08.09 if I curse like this there was a lot more people offended norms changed over the last 18 19 years there's a lot more shit we have to worry about than just bad words and I think we're gonna let that one pass what about the way I dressed the other thing was you can't be taken serious as a businessman wearing jeans in a t-shirt I'm like then I'm just not gonna be serious the world came to me we all know especially before they know that we got casual things got more casual close-wise I didn't I don't believe the close or you know represent the man or the woman I think the substance of their humanity does I think the scale sets they have to you know so I just want like if you are a non-cursing formal dresser go cook because you will you don't need to be me for damn sure you need to be you and let me go to the depths of where I want to go you hear a lot of stuff you'd be like oh that's how you make a lot of money if you're sitting there be like I can't do that then don't we're so like like look there's things you have to work on human things the tactical things if it's not fun to study collect the like I think collectibles is about to go crazy like crazy LaBoubou's Pokemon sneakers watches trading I think there's just so much business opportunity but when I say that if you're in the crown be like yo I still love baseball cards well then maybe you should look into it but if you heard that and be like that's stupid then maybe you shouldn't you understand I win because I don't create for my self and I need you to go to that self awareness place you need to know who you are are are you out like you know there's like like somebody might come up like sales which is real sales is amazing but then like if you know you're the most introverted person in your family you don't want to talk to nobody what the fuck do you think you're gonna do in sales I see it all the time like some weird awkward like hey I'm Johnny my Johnny you're not sound shit you better fucking become an accountant now now you know what I mean like John who loves math heard on a video that sales is where it's at and gets a fucking bullshit suit and it's like I'm in sales now he loses every time but he goes into development or accounting or finance he wins and and I just need you to be self aware who are you what do you like you can make money in everything I mean it you can make money in everything especially now with the way niche marketing is and brand deals and sell merch about who likes to cook here raise your hands crazy amount of opportunity go to stand store make a $20 cookbook link that stand store URL to your Instagram profile make cooking videos watch how much money you can make money making is everywhere the self esteem required for money making is nowhere and that is what I'm working on and that's why I'm building deeper by the way my whole little difference world my two hundred the characters empathy elephant patient panda right tenacious term might I know that when I went on TikTok I started getting 13 and 14 year old fans and I could see that they were doing more of what because you know old dog new tricks right and by the way on the old dog thing 50 60 70 it's just a mindset old dog is a mindset not your actual age I have a video coming out later where I's pretty much proclaimed that I think I'm seven years old that's just where I'm at you know it's a mindset but I noticed that the 13 14 15 year olds and that was for my audience went from like 22 to 13 with TikTok back in 18 19 I was like oh these kids and it's just like normal I'm a common sense man I'm like oh shit I'm getting to them earlier I can mold a little bit earlier so now I'm like fuck it you know it's better than 13 three who's here raise your hands I need you to write something down please vfriends comm slash cartoons we we've made 20 cartoons with the people that made Coco melon so they're high quality have your kids watch it and you should watch it you're

what not and sell it and in 24 months you will make more money than you can ever imagine so it's not now again back to self-awareness like I don't want to sell on camera all that but why don't you

me I worry about him do you know sad of the life it is to go around the internet and lead negative comments on people's content? I'm not sad for me. I'm compassionate to him. Imagine that life, imagine having time to do that, tearing other people down. What a sad way to live. So that's where my brother is. - So where? - So where? - So where is my brother? - I want them, like all the stuff I just said. How many people here got excited, and are excited about the idea of like, "Yeah, I actually do want to sell some stuff on video on social, "raiser and great." Those people should really, really try hard. You really should. It's a very big deal. I made these same videos about social media in 2006, '78, and definitely TikTok in '18. I know a lot of you saw that one, and a lot of you wish you did, and you didn't. Don't do that again. Go do it. And again, if you forgot anything I said, chat you be, "Look at this is the chat, "she be the thing you type or audio." Hey, I was just at a conference with Gary Viner, Chuck. He talked about live shopping on social media, I think. What was he talking about? He will give you what I just talked about.

So. - You guys can share if you'd rather apologize.
