I want you to stop watching my videos and go do something. That’s what Gary Vee used to say often. He wanted his viewers, readers, and listeners to stop consuming and take action instead.

The problem is that people don’t know what that “something” is. Or if they do know what they want to do, they don’t start because they’re afraid.

I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life exactly, which is why I watched his videos often. YouTube, Instagram, podcasts — I followed him everywhere. Like anyone else who watches Gary Vee, I felt like he held the answers to the undiscovered questions I had.

I think we can all agree that Gary Vee’s one of the coolest people on Earth. He’s energetic, motivational, humble, kind. He makes you feel okay with where you’re at in life — even if you’re at the bottom.

It’s why he has millions of followers ranging from all ages. But I have to say: It’s been a year, more than a year, since I stopped consuming his content. I genuinely never thought I would.

Why did I stop? I didn’t need it anymore.

People watch Gary Vee because he makes them feel like they’re not fucking up their life…
