About this episode

Gary Vaynerchuk discusses the importance of youth and self-awareness for graduates entering the workforce.

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I talk about the biggest opportunity you have right now: your youth. I encourage you to do the work and taste as many different things as possible before the baggage of life sets in. I also discuss why the "nice guys finish last" mentality should be eliminated and why self-awareness is the ultimate competitive advantage. You’ll learn about : The 50-Month Window for Risk Why I Think College is a Racket for Entrepreneurs How to Fall in Love with Losing The Power of Tuning Out Parent and Peer Pressure Why Kindness is a Winning Business Strategy
