Why Losing is Crucial | Childhood Lessons in Resilience

On this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, Im sharing a recent book signing I recently did for my new kids book Meet Me in The Middle. I share a bit of the journey of creating VeeFriends. We start with a look back at my childhood inspirations and how the 80s icons like He-Man and Transformers shaped my vision. I share my POV on the importance of balancing eagerness and patience, both in business and personal life, and why losing is actually a critical component of success. We talk about the value of positivity and empathy, and how I aim to instill these traits in the younger generation through VeeFriends. You’ll also hear about my vision for VeeFriends as a combination of Pokémon and Sesame Street, and my ambitious plans for its future. We discuss the significance of meeting in the middle and how this philosophy can bridge gaps in our polarized world. Plus, I answer audience questions on parenting, balancing work and family, the role of higher education in entrepreneurship, and how to overcome the fear of failure. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, this episode is packed with actionable advice and heartfelt stories. I really hope you all enjoy this one!
