Why Adversity is the Foundation of Success
About this episode
In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, we throw it back to the middle of the New York Knicks historic post-season Finals run when I sit down with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on All the Smoke to talk about why nice guys finish first, and why the world's got you all twisted thinking they come last. I share how I reverse engineer the truth to run Vayner Sports, why volume beats quality in the interest media era, and why weaponizing luck is loser shit. I also discuss why most people don't know how to calibrate words, why adversity is the foundation of success, and the selfish and selfless mission behind VeeFriends.
You'll learn about:
• Nice Guys Finish First
• How to Calibrate Words
• Volume in the Interest Media Era
• Why Adversity Is Foundational
• The VeeFriends Mission
