1
We don't even live in social media anymore.
2
We now live in interest media.
3
Five years ago, you got content from the people you followed, even if you didn't give a shit what your cousin was doing today.
4
I started a TikTok account.
5
The first post on that account with zero followers got 8.2 million organic views.
6
You better understand that every one of you now live in an AI world.
7
This is only going to compound dramatically.
8
Your third TikTok can fundamentally change the course of your career.
9
This my friends is about adaptability.
10
This is being prepared for the moment.
11
Look, there's so much opportunity in social media and whether you make the content or somebody else makes the content, the one thing that we are all bound by is
12
that we are all fighting for attention of a human being to then do the thing that you want them to do.
13
And attention has moved.
14
We now live in a world that is incredibly fragmented and I think we all know that.
15
In fact, we don't even live in social media anymore.
16
We now live in interest media.
17
As many of you know that are on TikTok or Instagram or Facebook, five years ago, you got content from the people you followed, even if you didn't give a shit what your cousin was doing today.
18
Today, when you opened up your TikTok or Instagram or Facebook, you're getting content of things you're currently interested in.
19
The most intoxicating thing to me right now in the warfare of attention to build your actual business is
20
that even if you've done nothing right for the last 15 years, the world we're in now allows you to close the gap very quickly.
21
I've been making content now for 20 years.
22
You've done nothing right, and your third TikTok can fundamentally change the course of your career.
23
I'm just gonna leave, thank you.
24
The point I'm making there is this is insane.
25
I've literally worked my face off for 20 years, 15 hours a day to amass 50 million followers,
26
and if you make a very good piece of content as your fourth piece of content ever, it can literally lead to 15 to 20 new clients
27
or an employee that you're looking to hire or whatever you're up to.
28
Run for mayor in your town.
29
I don't give a shit.
30
What I care about is you understanding the intoxicating nature of the merit of a single post now,
31
not what you've done to get to that single post.
32
How many of you tried a little bit and didn't get the results you were looking for?
33
Let's raise your hands.
34
Raise it high.
35
So for the 80 or 90 of you, I have good news.
36
It, as you just saw, works.
37
You just suck at it.
38
And that's good.
39
That's not a bad thing, that's a good thing.
40
Whatever you were doing was not working.
41
It could be multiple things.
42
You gave up too early because you didn't have the patience for how much content needed to be done to break through.
43
If your content is completely selfish and it's only about like, hey, this is what I do and I'd like you to give me money so that I can do it for you, that is not going to work.
44
It's like boxing.
45
If every single post you have is a right hook, the audience starts getting used to it and they're able to duck.
46
If you do not put out the jab content or the faint content to set it up, you will lose.
47
In my world, with the hope to grow your business, the jab content and the faint content is basically information for free with the hopes that it helps.
48
That value will create the karma and will create the energy that will lead to the sale.
49
What has built my career and many people that I've watched, who's the most committed to bringing the most value to the audience
50
and letting the residual effects of that value drive their actual business.
51
Doing good things leads to good results.
52
The issue that I have that's different than a year ago is this social media thing is free.
53
Google AdWords, you pay for.
54
Direct mail, you pay for.
55
Print ads, pay for.
56
Social is free.
57
Now, you can spend ads on it, which I recommend.
58
By the way, how many people here spend ad dollars on social to get business?
59
Raise your hands.
60
All right, I'm gonna give you a very nuanced thing this morning that I hope you listen to me.
61
The days of taking and making a video or an ad
62
or a picture and running media on Facebook or Instagram or TikTok to get clients are over.
63
You should always post every piece of content you make for a sale or an ad organically first.
64
If it does well in views compared to your norm, That's what you start running media on.
65
Many of you are wasting a lot of money on social because it cannot get views unless the creative is relevant.
66
How many pieces of content did you post in social yesterday?
67
Raise your hand and show me in fingers how many you posted.
68
Six, two, thank you.
69
10, good shit big dog.
70
I posted 432.
71
I'm being serious.
72
How many people here follow me on social?
73
Raise your hands just to get a sense.
74
Thank you.
75
Have some of you that just raised your hands starting to notice
76
that there's new accounts starting to pop up for me So it's not just Gary V.
77
It's Gary V on podcast.
78
It's uncle V on fucking tick-tock I will probably have by the end of the year over a thousand different accounts
79
Because what I've been telling you that you don't need followers to get views.
80
I started saying to myself I'm not gonna cry for myself that my 20 years of work have been commoditized.
81
I'm just gonna go on the offense of the same thing.
82
This, my friends, is about adaptability.
83
This is being prepared for the moment.
84
How many people here have seen the piece of content where I met that young girl after a talk and she said, I know one day I'm gonna be somebody.
85
And I said, you're somebody now.
86
I started a TikTok account called you're somebody now.
87
The first post I posted on that account with zero followers
88
was a slight edit on the video that did well for me, which is why many of you saw it.
89
That video with zero followers got 8.2 million organic views.
90
When every single person goes to an AI bot and says, I need a chiropractor now, who should I go with?
91
You better understand that every one of you now live in an AI world.
92
This is only gonna compound dramatically.
93
And I need you to have a brand, because brand is going to be the only thing that's defensible in this extreme technology world.
94
I'm gonna take you to the complete other extreme, and I believe this has the capacity to grow your business dramatically.
95
I am asking all of you to call, text, write to every client you've ever had.
96
All I am asking you is to reach out to them and see how they're doing, nothing else.
97
I'm not telling you to do it because I think they're gonna re-up with you and you're gonna remind them, and it'll be like, oh, I need you.
98
I think if you really do it the way I'm saying, which is just be a good person and just say hello, when you reach out, you are not looking for a transaction.
99
You are looking to say hello.
100
And this is the whole game that we're about to go into, friends.
101
The whole world is about to be a barbell.
102
Extreme technology over here, AI, robots, weird ass shit that we're not ready for.
103
And then all the way over here, 1950s.
104
And this is an opportunity because now you have nothing to complain about or cry.
105
You don't want to be on this new technology kick with me?
106
Mazel tov.
107
But you better be on some old grandpa shit from the 1940s.
108
And if you don't do one of the two, well, you're a bitch.
109
You're going to have to pick one.
110
And for whoever's a psycho enough to actually have their actions map their ambitions
111
or the words that come out of their mouth, you need to do both.
112
There's another platform that has really caught my attention and is gaining incredible steam.
113
How many people here do not make social media content
114
because they don't like the way they look on video or they're awkward when they're recorded on video.
115
Raise your hands.
116
It's okay.
117
Be vulnerable, please.
118
Raise your hands.
119
I'm empathetic to that.
120
I will say one quick thing to all of you.
121
We are not in seventh grade anymore.
122
People saying you're ugly or not interesting.
123
You do not need to be over the top and high energy.
124
You can be monotone.
125
There's many different ways to deliver information.
126
I would like to ask you to try to get out of high school, but I won't even push you to that even though that's what I think.
127
You must get very serious about spending five to ten hours of doing homework on sub stack
128
Sub stack is one of the most important new platforms of information.
129
It's written content You go into chat GPT and you're like Gary V just talked about sub stack.
130
I'm a chiropractor What do I need to know enter?
131
Information is now useless.
132
It is literally a commodity It is not valuable yet people will pay for it
133
if they connect with the person if you are a good writer It will be a lead gen to your business.
134
You will do the jabbing not the right hooks You will show up
135
and write things that people should do tips and tricks things
136
that you've observed
137
and being in this business for 20 years My friends preparation
138
the theme of this being ready for the moment is very very interesting
139
and exciting mentally But
140
if you are not practicing you could be mentally prepared for running the New York Marathon
141
But if you do not train for it only
142
so much is gonna happen take 2026
143
and make it an action year not a thinking year You want to grow
144
or fix your business or make yourself bulletproof or be prepared for the moment?
145
Well guess what good news everyone They picked a great theme
146
because the moment's coming you can take it
147
and control it like one of those weird stories Where the swords more fucking powerful than the person
148
and you can tame the sword and weaponize it for you or you can have it slice your fucking head off.
149
That's up to you.
150

- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: ambition /æmˈbɪʃ.ən/, selfish /ˈsɛlf.ɪʃ/, patience /ˈpeɪ̯.ʃəns/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: adaptability /ədæptəˈbɪlɪti/, chiropractor /ˈkaɪ.ɹəˌpɹæk.tə(ɹ)/, intoxicate /ɪnˈtɑksɪkeɪt/, defensible /dɪˈfɛn.sɪ.bəl/, empathetic /ˌɛmpəˈθɛtɪk/

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
