Notable Moment

Vaynerchuk reveals he thinks about death multiple times weekly, including contemplating the death of everyone around him.

Episode Transcript

You know who's about to make a fuckload of money? Who? John. Electricians. Because what's about to happen with AI in our society So think about it. Literally, electricians are about to make a fucking fortune because of what's happening because five years ago nobody was thinking about the explosion of AI and the needs for all these data centers and the electrician. We don't have enough in this country. Let me promise you one thing. If you wanna learn anything about anything, supply and demand is the simplest thing to understand and it will always work.

I felt that I understood things. I felt that I understood people. You paid me a nice compliment when we just met. Like I've always known what I was. I just always believed in who I was. There was never any self doubt but there was also and this is important for the audience. There was incredible self awareness too. Like I think one of the issues for so many people is they struggle with A, knowing who they are and they struggle with actually when they do know who they are it may not be who they want to be. And for me, I never had that issue. Meaning, of course, like I wish I was a starting quarterback of the Jets.
