First 90 secondsGary Vaynerchuk· Guest0:00
[laughs] Bro, uh, this is gonna be one of the highlights that I know from this meeting, uh, this podcast. I love that I said meeting. This feels more like a business meeting than- [laughs] ... This is why you guys are s- successful.
Speaker 3· Soundbite0:08
I feel like I could rule the world. I know I could be what I want to. Uh. I put my all in it like no days off. On the road less traveled. Never looking back.
Sam Parr· Host0:17
