About this episode

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Mark Manson - author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck and co-writer of Will Smith's memoir - for a long-overdue conversation. I talk about why the second you're living for outside affirmation, it's game over, and why values are the sorting mechanism that keeps you from drowning in noise. I share my simple framework for handling judgment: do the people who know me best like me? Mark and I get into why parenting builds the value system and why the answer to a red-and-blue world is purple. I also discuss becoming Walt Disney instead of Mickey Mouse.
