Minute 23- the whole social media segment is absolute perfection. Can we stop pretending that these tech bros care about fixing the world? Can we not see past the congressional theatrics? Nobody can fix this but us. We need new social agreements around social media use.

One thing I like about Galloway is that he does not repeat his exact talking points in every interview so if you binge watch his interviews after he publishes a book it is still somewhat fresh and new.

"America is like a horror movie, the call is coming from inside the house." Spot on Scott! hahahaha.....ugh so true. : /

"A lot of your success is not your fault", that is a good quote ;-)

I have a friend who is retiring at 41 because of exactly what Scott is saying. He follows the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) methodology. Wish I did :)

I heard so much self promotion. But thankfully there was truly valuable bits. The fact that the greatest predictor of retention is does one have a friend at work and his idea for how to foster that with offering his team that anytime 4 were together entertainment is on the company is a fantastic rule.

It take losing someone who was really dear to you, to realize what is really important in life. I was married for twenty five years when my wife lost her battle of seven years to cancer. During her life, she liked to collect things, mainly home decoration stuff. She was obsessed with those things and when she died, it all became meaningless. She had one antique bench that she adored and when the end was near, she made me swear to take that bench wherever I moved to which I did... For a while. That bench lost it's meaning the day she died, I moved from California to Georgia, got married again and eventually gave the bench away.. The process really make me evaluate what's important in life...

I am 25 minutes in, and this man is simply a prophet

Scott: “Brand is dead.” Alex Hormozi: “Brand is everything.”

Big fan of Scott. But I would say, for Scott and his peers (older, wiser, wealthier citizens who want to see the system change for the better, but go on podcasts for a living and complain) (no offense intended, this is a feeling i have had brewing for a minute) If Donald Trump can become president, Scott and his peers could move to states they want to see "old farts" out of office, and he (they) can run to replace them- making a new wave/age of politicians. They have a larger following, can more easily find wider reach in today's world, and win voters, then do the work with their team and pass better laws and regulate industries to protect our kids. Sure they don't want to be a pollution, but it's supposed to be a service, not a career. Going on podcasts and informing listeners about these issues is fine and helpful for people like myself and others, but it's just a long-winded version of "complaining on Twitter" and not taking actual action to make change. (Oh, this smart wealthy person is selling a book on how the world is hurting our kids?) If you have the wealth, knowledge, and resources, and this issue ACTUALLY matters to you, be a good citizen and run for office to make protect our kids that we love. In Scott's own words, "disruption is healthy" and representatives act like they don't have viable market competitors when at the end of the day it's a popularity vote, not a resume hire. In the same vein of Scott's talk about what industry Ai can disrupt- representatives, like any leading class in history are most vulnerable to popular loudspeakers who talk change, but the leading class is safe if the speaker stays compliant and tries to just make a living off of speaking, vs take action. Scott and his peers have a higher statistical chance of success than less wealthy and fortunate parents. That's my TED talk, sorry for the large post.

I made an excellent living in sales now comfortable in retirement. Rejection is part of the process. It took a while to get hardened to rejection. What kept me going was knowing that 95% of my competitors gave up after the 2nd sales call and 90% of sales happen after the 5th sales call.

Seeing a small percentage of “he lost me at…” in the comments but how great would it be to “entertain a thought without accepting it” -Aristotle : and just soak in the awesome subject matter that IS here. 🎯🎯🎯

Right on! I appreciate your honesty bc when Life gives you that punch in the face you've got to know how to adapt. I had a solid 10 yrs of total failures. Like a string of pearls falling apart. Now I know I can face anything. And right now facing another biggie.

In regards to the dangers of social media, I have never understood the hero worship of people like Zuckerberg, Musk, Chamath Palihapitya (who became a billionaire by creating the algorithm of addiction for Facebook, forbids his own children from using it).....

Scott's journey to success, filled with both triumphs and setbacks, is truly inspiring! 💪 His candid advice on embracing failure, taking risks, and investing in relationships resonates deeply with aspiring entrepreneurs.

I grew myself up shunning wealth as defined as being American. I am 67 now, $1300 social security. I lived poor 2/3rds of my life. When I was employed in computer engineering consultant I was wealthy. Bell Labs HP Micron GD Searle etc. I spent everything on experiences with friends of the era, not retirement. I am now seeing I want some more wealth cushions, for myself and the 3 people left in my family. Scott Galloway gets me and is now motivating me to get busy productively~!

Excellent episode! Plus, the live audience adds an extra point for audience participation!

He just proved my point about health insurance🎯🎯🎯

Great first episode, cant wait to plow through all your other videos

Very nice podcast, cheers for making it !

1:02:15 at my job creating a software scheduling platform for healthcare maintenance workers listening to this podcast

Great conversation

Excellent. Now time to re-re-listen to fully understand it

Great stuff, real cut through on the big stuff

51:19 is great

What we call Failures are really lessons. You have to fail to learn how to win. Everything we go through in life is going to make you the final Person you're going to be.

Well…. I learned and that confirmed more than a few things….Thank you for putting this together

Loved his thoughts on supply chain management.

Love him, apply all his tips and see ourselves winning

Scott is a clever chap.... ❤

Great insights

Great advice here. Ty guys so much!❤️

Right on.

This was genuinely great! Finally

Wow! Best thinking in this point in time I have heard in a long time. I applaud Scott’s confidence to take his positions, especially in the U.S. Wow!

This was wonderful 🎉🎉🎉

Love this convo. I ask myself stupid questions.

That last point makes a lot of sense from the marketing point of being in touch with the culture as well...

Although I was aware of compound interest in my 20s I really wish I had someone to tell me to take it seriously and take action on instead of waiting till my 40s to act. If your reading this in your 20s do your future self a massive favour and set some automatic buy orders for index funds now. "The best time to plant a tree is now and 10 years ago" Quote..Someone smart.

Great interview

Agree with much of Scotts Galloways perspectives. As a third party looking in though it appears he has a bias with Israel/Gaza issue. Regarding the protests appear to be focused around stopping the level of civilian death. I have seen nothing other than anecdotal instances that would indicate different. With that said I have no horse in this conflict short of our tax dollars funding it which I'd prefer to just stay out of. When I look into this conflicts history and place myself into either of these communities I can 100% see why they both hate each other. Beyond that humans have been fighting for land forever which at the end of the day that is what this is. I see no need for Americans to pick a side short of Israel being a forward military base in the middle east that allows us to better protect supply chains. However, if your honest on this situation you have to agree blame is all around on this conflict.

WOW! History in the making! Greeting from Amsterdam, NL.

Good interview and insight

7:22 “ be tough in victory by gentle in defeat. When they won, that’s when I was the hardest of them. When they lost, that’s when I told him how great they were.

Great episode

Wonderful conversation and I hope Scott is able to take his own advice and just slow down...

5:51 need to hear that today. Thank you. I’ve felt that

My problem with the concept that wealthy people are generally good people is the fact that if you know them and interact with them face-to-face sure they're going to be good people but they overwhelmingly vote in order to lower their taxes and screw over the poor and basically hurt all these others that they don't have to interact with. We human beings can be pretty callous towards the people we do not directly interact with. And the fact that in the US the people of the country tend to vote in a way that screws over the lowest while helping the highest is pretty telling.

he is right about everything become more coarse

51:24 best part of the podcast 😅…yes I did thoroughly enjoy the podcast.

Man speaks too many truths.

Not always a fan of Scott, but I shared this interview with 5 people 👌👍

His statement that an Android phone means your life didn't turn out the way you planned completely disproves his assertions about brand. iPhone is absolutely a mediocre brand with an emotional attachment.

Why is this the best podcast I’ve listened to in awhile? I thought I disliked Scott…

Scott: "Brand is dead" also then lists of 10 brands from Google to SHEIN, all of whom spend millions on advertising. The real point is brands and branding is not the same as it was in the 90s or 00s because of... wait for it... massive insight... digital technologies. Wow! Much insight, dude.

4:53 Asking people is the EASY part. Finding the people to ask is the real challenge.

Listen to a zero feedback stereo like Ayre Acoustics is a great dopamine hit. Possibly world's best!

Scott- you aren’t a narcissist.. you are a good human.

I can be punched in the face and get back up. Most people are not willing to endure the pain of rejection, so they avoid big opportunities. There are a few golden nuggets in here, especially about resilience.

Truth ... in life .... we are going to need a bigger boat.

Never heard of this guy until this podcast. While some of his ideas and talking points seemed well thought out and insightful, others were clearly half-baked and hyperbolic. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or if he presents himself as such a caricature, but I found it really easy to not get swept up in his story as hard truth and enjoy his talk overall.

I TOTALLY AGREE ABOUT BEING INDEPENDENT I HAVE no WISH TO BE AN ANTREPRENEUR..I LIKE WORKING FOR A COMPANY

15:02 Cancelled all your insurance Awesome! I’m always talking about that people think I’m crazy. True insurance should be a Kin group you’ve built around you 🎉

On Metro PCS the phone line that serves impoverished people (here in Detroit) now forces you to look at ads that are sometimes sexual and violent every single time you open your phone- and there's no way to disengage it. It truly feels like a systematic way to pull us down into darkness

Scary to hear Scott Galloway say how there is no future in branding/marketing. As a young student, working hard to learn about the field and wanting to enter the industry, hearing things like this scares me. I absolutely love marketing. I love it so much! But I also want a future and successful career. Feeling stuck.

Just stops at 51:20. Lovely.

All young people should watch this...

"Dress well?" Scott's wearing a t-shirt! Which is fine with me. Dressing well is expensive and uses a lot of carbon because, for example, one has to dry clean or iron, and it' time consuming. I prefer Steve Jobs approach to dressing because it makes more sense to me. But I'm a huge fan of Mr. Galloway's. I agree with almost everything he says. He has awesome insight!

"Branding is dead" is a profoundly unserious statement. As long as human beings exist branding will be important. Last I looked Hermes is still selling $25,000 leather handbags and it has nothing to do with their "supply chain".

35:53 in other words, the Long Tail by Chris Anderson.

Get the easy stuff right 🙂

He does say very interesting stuff which makes up for his lack of charisma and though I agree on most of what he says please drop the Andrroid/iPhone comment if you want to be taken seriously by anyone - a lot of tech nerds will never ever choose to go with Apple!!

As an analyst of Mass Formation Psychoses, perhaps Scott could look into TDS, from which he too suffers.

Heads up - the video and audio gets kinda weird at 52mins. Missed most of the Colleen de Courcy question.

Agree with the happiness curve, don't agree about taxing 70% above 10mill simply because taxes are wasted and would rather say above x millions you need to spend 20% on skills and education etc on grants etc

"Doesnt that make Catholic church seem upstanding?". Love it.

i thought rage baited user arent likely to buy product ? so from an advertiser point of view, it might reach more but does it really convert to sales though ?

Would it also be safe to ask, accepting the idea that the online world makes us all brands, if everyone is a brand, no one is a brand?

kind of obvious--but good to hear--although most wont get it.

Weird editing glitch at 51:11, which lasts about a minute.

“I like your hair” 😂

He admires Sam Harris. My interests in his thoughts drop a lot.

Oh no! What happened to the host´s face at 51:54 !?!?

Inflated ego will take you down after success without mercy

actually it is not true that after certain amount the happiness flattens. for those who can't/won't use the wealth properly its true,but for those who can and will it will rise.

He should be a presidential advisor

Guys like Galloway were nowhere to be found when I was young enough to listen.

While there are outliers, there is only one side of the political debate who are willing to engage in policy regulation in service of society as a whole. That needs to be stated. Both sides are not the same.

Really need a age limit 16+ / 18+ for social media fr

I don't know who this guy is, but he had me at soft spoken Sam Altman.

With mortgage and family, 90 or 100 grand a year these days will not get you much of anything but basic necessities. Maybe 1 vacations, depending, no savings. Any bumps in the road you're looking at credit card debt.

51:23 what the hell just happened. That’s one hell of a haircut though

❤

Scott used to spout a lot of left wing confirmation bias talking points and now that the campus protests against Israel are happening he's suddenly in the center....he's very hit or miss Thanks to the author for this interview and the chapters 🙏

Scott looks like Walter White right now. Uncanny!

3:42 13:45

Dig the guy but the plural of "medium" (as in "advertising medium") is "media" (not "mediums")

"I love vaccines." - Professor G (1) Should vaccine manufacturers be able to be sued? (2) Do you believe COVID19 vaccines are 'safe and effective'. (3) Have you considered Ed Dowd's findings wrt COVID19 vaccines?

Can’t be who you are going to be until you can be. The insta culture misses what life adds, good, bad or indifferent.

Oh right, it’s the corporations who are doing us in.
