Why Now Is the Best Time in History to Bet on Yourself

Gary Vee doesn’t sugarcoat it: there’s never been a better time to chase your dream. Social media is free. AI tools are accessible. The gatekeepers are gone. The only thing standing in your way is fear—or worse, excuses.

You don’t need permission. You need action. Gary reminds us that someone is making $100K a year right now selling live on TikTok, or flipping items on eBay. The question isn’t whether it’s possible. The question is: why not you?

The problem, Gary says, is that too many people wait for validation. They worry what their parents or peers might say. They overthink instead of experimenting. Meanwhile, the world moves on, rewarding the ones who create without permission.

He challenges everyone to make one video. Just one. Tell the world what you're starting, or what you're struggling with. That single piece of content could unlock connections, accountability, or your next big opportunity. But only if you hit publish.

In this era, complaining about the system holds no weight. You have a phone, a voice, and the tools. You don’t need a perfect plan—you need to start. The internet changed the game. Now it’s your turn to play it.
