How to Give Value and Win in the Creator Economy
6/22/20261 hr 20 min
In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Daniel Wall, the host of Behind the Wall to discuss the foundational elements of my success: gratitude, hard work, and the influence of my parents. I dive deep into why I’m obsessed with providing value to my audience and why "kind candor" is the most important skill I’ve developed in the last five years. I also share my latest platform predictions for creators looking to stay ahead of the curve.

I've always was fascinated by kids that would spend all fucking day building a sandcastle, like all day, and then their parents are like, "Jimmy, time for d- like, we're going in for dinner," and they would just smash it, and that's it. And I kinda feel like I'm like that in life and in business. I'm doing it for the joy of building it, not for people to take a picture of my sandcastle, not for you to come over and be like, "That's the best sandcastle I've ever..." I'm building the sandcastle for me on this sunny day, quietly by myself. And so that is my life, that is my career, that is my content, and I think that has really... It's why I'm comfortable doing content. I'm not looking for outside validation. It does not give me self-esteem, nor does it not give me insecurity, and I'm playing my game. This is the Gary Vee Audio Experience.

Gary, I'm incredibly grateful to have you on Behind the Wall today. Behind the Wall was started with the goal to shine a light on the people and stories behind music, movies, and media, but it was also to inspire every underdog to go for it, and that's how I kinda feel about myself, and it's especially how I feel about you when hearing your story about everything that you've been through. But also, even though I'm excited, I'm also a bit nervous- [laughs] ... because I'm planning to talk to you and ask you questions about things I've never talked about on camera before, because I'm really looking for your expertise in things that I don't think are talked about as much when it comes to the creator world.
