An Important Piece of Advice
Such an important message in this one and I would love for you guys to take a listen. This was one of the longer exchanges from the new #AGV format where the callers dial in. We went at it for 7-8 minutes and the advice I give is going to be surprising to a lot of you but the underlining message is SO important. Would love to hear what you think

A First-Time Meeting with a New Hire
For those that have been following along, you'll know that I do my best to sit down with every new VaynerMedia employee within the first few months they start working for us. Undoubtedly that gets harder and harder as we continue to grow but it's still something that's incredibly important to me to ensure I'm fostering relationships and a place of comfort for our new hires. Even if it's 5 minutes long, it's enough time to plant a seed for a healthy relationship. In this meeting you'll get a feel for how I navigate these convos and the advice I give to those looking to make an impression in their early days at the company. Take a listen and let me know what you think :)

A Business Meeting About Sales & Legacy
In this one we get SUPER deep and it's not just about business and being a practitioner but it gets emotional and puts me in a place I rarely get to. My meeting here with Jordan from Craft & Commerce might just be one of the most powerful pieces of content we've ever put out. Not only do we discuss developing a business and being a leader but Jordan admits to me something incredibly personal and there's just no words to describe the way it made me feel. Intent is the game my friends and doing the right thing is just always the right thing. Drop me a line and let me know what you think about this one.

A Business & Branding Meeting with ASAP Ferg
Legendary Hip Hop artist ASAP Ferg stopped by the office to talk shop and man was it a great meeting. In this one we cover the current landscape of hip hop, culture, and the chess moves musicians need to be making in order to stay current in today's digital landscape. I love how these meetings are now being documented. It's so important and allows you guys to really get sense for how I navigate conversations and new relationships.

An Interview with TechMedia Co.
For those looking for specific thoughts and advice about the current digital and marketing landscape, here's a great bite-sized interview for you. It might get lost in the audio so see below for the questions being asked. Questions: We know you’re very high on Snapchat and the potential for marketers. Are there any best practices you see for those already on the platform? You've always been smart about timing and where to put your chips. What platforms are currently overpriced for performance aka the "banner ads" of platforms? What areas are still untapped and delivering the most bang for the buck? Similarly, any new/emerging platforms you see on the cusp of breaking out? Live video - Facebook Live, Periscope and others - where have you seen these platforms being used most successfully? Where does the potential lie to have the most impact for brands? What’s your current view on podcasts/video podcasts? Where do they fit into a B2B or B2C marketers overall marketing plan?
