The GaryVee Audio Experience

In this episode, I break down why television marketing is overpriced in 2026 and why brands that are overcommitted to TV are losing market share. We talk about collectibles as a marketing strategy, why most businesses are underinvesting in social media, and the massive advantage of social media ads over traditional TV. I also dive into the opportunity in live streaming, the rise of the interest media era, which platforms have underpriced attention right now, and why hiring is guessing while firing is knowing. If you care about attention, growth, and allocating your marketing dollars the right way, this episode is a must.

Today's episode is a keynote I did in Portugal. I break down why creativity is the most important part of marketing — and why all the attention now lives on just a handful of social platforms. We talk about how social media and algorithms have changed over the last five years, how to get better results from paid ads today, and why volume beats perfection moving forward. I also explain why podcasts and streaming are massive opportunities for small businesses, and why marketing is always a mix of math and art. If you want to win in 2026, this is the mindset and strategy you need.

In this special New Year’s episode, I sit down with Jim Rugg and DJ to break down exactly where the VeeFriends comics universe is headed in 2026. I talk about my history as a storyteller — from the games I made up as a kid to how that foundation turned into VeeFriends.We get into a real conversation about the “starving artist” myth and why it’s broken. Commercial success doesn’t ruin creativity — it protects it. I share why the comic industry needs to stop gatekeeping, start onboarding new fans, and think bigger about long-term relevance. Hope you enjoy!

Today’s episode is one of the top episodes of 2025, which is why I wanted to bring it back during the holiday season. Hope you enjoy it!
