Hi again, everyone If you opened this newsletter too, you’re a real one. Hope you’ve had a chance to check out the RARE VEEFRIEND TOKENS...there’s only 298 left! Now, back to our regular program. A really key message for you all this Monday Intellectual Property. If you've been following me on Instagram, you've been hearing me talk about this a lot recently. Why? I really believe that IP is the next evolution of personal brands, including mine. My OG community, you guys get me... but for a lot of people, they think I'm "too much" - too aggressive, too Jersey, too much cursing - and they end up tuning me out. While I don't believe in convincing, I really believe in the things I say because I think they actually bring value, so I understandably hate the fact that there's a portion of people out there who will never listen to a word I'm saying simply because of my delivery. I believe IP is the answer to this problem! Check out this video to feel where I’m coming from. The reason I'm so hyped for VeeFriends and the NFT space in general is because it allows me to have a message out there that's bigger than "GaryVee," bigger than me and my voice. I get to drive home the concepts I really care about -- that many people don't even realize -- with these characters that I will be building out for the next 45 years. Even if people don't want to listen to the aggressive Jersey guy, they can listen to Patient Panda, Empathetic Elephant, Humble Hedgehog...Now, thanks to my intellectual property, I can reach more people with my ideas that I couldn't have reached before. Why does this matter? Building brand is what I do, but I'm at a point where I don't have to be out in front of my content as much. Having intellectual property to speak for you is way more scalable, and a smart move for everyone building a personal brand. This Thursday, May 20th from 12 - 2pm ET we’re celebrating ONE YEAR of Marketing for the Now with a special episode dedicated to NFTs!! The show will stream live on my YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and feature an INCREDIBLE speaker lineup, including: Mark Cuban, Owner of Dallas Mavericks and Shark Tank Investor Mike Winkelmann (Beeple) Artist, Sarah Zucker Campaign US, Alison Weissbrot, Editor Dapper Labs, Mik Naayem, Co-Founder GMoney.NFT Immutable, Robbie Ferguson, Co-Founder J1mmy Power up NFTs, Matt Fortnow, Founder Quest Nutrition & Impact Theory, Co-founder, Tom Bilyeu QuHarrison Terry, Entrepreneur … and more to come! Hope to see you there! “Charlie bit my finger” video being auctioned as an NFT YouTube announces $100M fund to reward top “Shorts” creators Twitter may be working on paid subscription service, “Twitter Blue”A word of encouragement. VeeFriends was the result of me dreaming big and being the ultimate Adventurous Astronaut . Watch this video to see my vision for turning one of my characters into the next Mickey Mouse, then go dream up something just as big! As Patient Panda and Pig from VeeFriends know, most of you “feel lost” or “behind” for no reason! None! You haven’t even started… In 2007 when I was 32 years old,I was standing on the “floor” of a liquor store helping people pick out wine… read that again!! YOU’VE GOT TIME!
