I hope this really “hits” for some...

Too many don’t realize real time and real elimination of fear are at the core of a great culture and a great culture creates great companies...

For many of you, you have less than 20 employees… you should be able to ace this ..

Share this with someone who owns a business or has a large team 💜❣️

Chairman – VaynerX, CEO – VaynerMedia, Creator – VeeFriends

Huge shout out to the people on the right .. I respect you … to the people on the left … you’re only fooling yourself and the others who live in fear 😨….

Stop talking, start executing

Please give yourself grace. You're trying.

No one is better than you .. real talk.

If you give me any birthday gift today, promise me that this is the moment you all decide to stop beating yourself up ❤️

Listen ... talent, serendipity, moments and timing all matter ... but let there be no confusion .... 99% of the people who "make it" or the people many of you aspire to be are out-working you .. are working much harder than you think when you don't see them.

Work ethic matters, friends .. of course you need to balance it, but for the things many say they want .. it's hard work that is the missing ingredient ❤️

If you hate your job, tonight, instead of doing whatever the f*ck you normally do for 4 hours .. go on LinkedIn and email 100 people. 

Update your LinkedIn account .. post content about your expertise in financial services .. or in real estate .. or in bagel-making .. and let somebody find you. 

You can do sh*t instead of complaining. 

Complaining is, “My boss will never let me succeed.” Are you out of your f*cking mind?? Your boss at a random company? There are 87 trillion companies .. quit! 

Pound LinkedIn until your next job comes that pays you more so that you can leave. 

You. Can. Do. It.

Whether I have to write it on a napkin or post it here on LinkedIn, the message is the same… 

many of you are messing up, fear is fake but also holding you back, it’s time !

Go do your thing. Enough of the excuses and the fear, it’s time!

I turn 50 in less than 2 weeks .. and here's a message for those of you 50 and up.

You have a lot more time than you think.

It is super appropriate for you to start that business that you've always wanted right now. It is actually quite practical .. you probably actually have a much deeper understanding of what to do to be successful than the average 25-year-old that's rolling into my office looking for dollars to start their business because they've got an idea..

If I could just take the energy in my heart to deploy it into so many people's brains to understand how much time is still left in your life to do your thing .. that would make me very happy.

You may have 50—that's right, with modern medicine—you may have 50 more good years of executing .. 40 for sure!

I really think .. knock on wood .. so many of you reading this have 40 full, big years. Think back to when you were 10 .. from that moment until right now, all that life .. you've gone on the back end and people are trying to "wind down" and figure out how they're going to slow it down or "wrap it up" ..

F*ck wrapping it up, man.. Start it up!

Today I turn 50 … now that I am a wise man 😂 I thought I would share a few things here on LinkedIn that I hope can help someone today .. would mean a lot to me if you leave a comment with which one of these really hit 🎯 for you :)

PS: I go live today at garyvee.com/50 at 1pm ET -

Come see me do a live stream on TikTok that maybe will help you learn how to do one for yourself or your business

Today I turn 50 years old...

I need today to be the day you change up who you listen to, what you listen to, and where you allow your brain 🧠 and soul to go...

This is the start of the last month of the year .. read this page from “the book” 📕 and understand the biggest truth in the world 🌎

FEAR IS FAKE … and “they" use it against you to stop 🛑 you from your joy!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

One of the things that has really allowed me to "win" is not wanting it fast.

Everyone's in a rush to "make it" .. but crushing it is actually more about patience than you think

I actually don't think making it faster is a good thing .. most people really struggle with understanding that, often times, the faster "it" happens, the more vulnerable it is.

Slow down. You've got time

Either you'll hear 👂 me now or you’ll hear 👂 me when in the future...

But the quicker you act on realizing you have to attack life, not let it happen to you, is the quicker you'll enjoy this journey versus wasting it on stress and anxiety and worry ❤️

Most new managers think that becoming a manager is the “graduation.”

Truth is, it’s the reverse.

Leaders work for their employees.

That means you have to understand what your employees want at a deep level. You have to be constantly adapting to their needs and what they want from the organization.

When you go from being someone who “executes” to someone who’s managing a team, you go from trading on IQ to trading on EQ.

You go from doing the actual work to listening to employees, catering to what they want, taking the blame, and being the bigger person.

No excuses … 

all you need is 1 example, and if you can’t find it … 

BE the example.

If you have toxic employees within your organization, you'll have other employees who are scared to have meetings with them. You'll have people who are spending time navigating discussions with those employees rather than actually executing. 

Your people will be spending time on politics, not on execution. 

When you build a culture where people feel safe and excited to come to work, they won't worry about dealing with other employees as much. 

When they're not spending any time worrying, they're spending time executing. If they don't have to spend 15 minutes a day bickering or figuring out who's trying to "ruin" them, they're free to come up with new ideas and actually do the job they were hired to do.

Whatever is bothering you right now, take a breathe, be grateful for what is going well and realize what you can and can’t control. If you can’t control it, let it go and focus on what you can control, which at least is your “gratitude scale” ❤️❤️❤️

You will not be replaced by AI, but...

Demonizing new technology is holding you back.

This is what happened in '96, '97, '98... I watched the biggest companies in the world get folded because they refused to respect that the internet was here..

Now, AI is here, and you need to do something about it .. learn it .. use it .. understand it ..

If you were fired, be grateful...

Kiss the ground and thank the heavens for the opportunity to get somewhere better! This goes for jobs but this also goes for relationships in any different form.

Be thankful you’re on to the next chapter ❤️❤️❤️ share this with a someone that needs to hear it.

The biggest truth in the world 🌍 is that you’re 100% in control of your life, and you are not trapped or stuck … and yet … the world 🌍 has got you all convinced it’s the reverse …. 

My friends, pls save this video and use it when you need it most ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh, and pls share this with a friend who you know needs it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pls comment - in the comments - I’m in control … if this hit 🎯 for you ✅

Money, fame and power don't change who someone is ... they expose who someone is.

In the last 10-15 years, I've had the luxury of being in some pretty rare air with wildly successful people .. many of whom are more successful than me financially and fame-wise, and I'm telling you.. money is just a catalyst... the problem is, it can be a catalyst for bad.

This is the great trick of our society. People are addicted to the idea that money is going to solve all of their problems, but I've literally watched people get money and get way worse .. especially if they didn't earn their money.

Money exposes your truth. All it will do is expedite how fast people figure out who you really are, whether it's for better or for worse.

From fighting my body to thriving in it - hello!

If you've ever felt exhausted, bloated, stuck in a plateau, or like your body just isn't cooperating... I’ve been there. I spent years trapped in cycles of burnout and restriction, pushing through workouts, cutting carbs, and chasing quick fixes… all while dealing with irregular cycles, hormonal acne, and a body that felt foreign.

My wake-up call? Realizing that feeling drained, heavy, or “off” wasn't normal - and that a one-size-fits-all fitness plan would never support my hormones, my energy, or my goals.

Maybe you're here because you're:

- Tired of doing “everything right” and still feeling off

- Worn out by stubborn weight, brain fog, or painful periods

- Ready to feel strong, focused, and back in control of your health

Through a holistic approach that supports hormone health, muscle tone, and sustainable routines, I learned how to work with my body. Now I help other women do the same.

Imagine a life where:

- Your energy is steady all day (no more mid-afternoon crashes)

- Your workouts feel empowering — not exhausting

- You feel focused at work and comfortable in your skin

- Your cycle is regular, lighter, and no longer rules your life

- Confidence and strength become your new normal

I help high-achieving women align their fitness, nutrition, and hormones so they can feel energized, confident, and balanced - in their work, their body, and their daily life.

You don’t need to hustle harder or restrict more.
You just need the right strategy for your body.

Ready to feel like yourself again - or maybe for the first time?
Message me “I’m in” or book a call to get started.

Dear husbands, please stop giving your wife a hard time when she invests in training or coaching.

Three different women told me this in the same week:

“My husband would kill me if I used our HSA on training… he thinks this is useless.”

“My husband thinks I’m crazy for needing a trainer.”

“I can’t eat that… no way would my husband be down to try those meals.”

And here’s what all three had in common:

They were 40–45 years old.

They were in the thick of perimenopause.

And they were exhausted.

Women in this season are juggling so much more than most people realize. They’re:

❌ Losing their mental bandwidth because they spend every waking minute keeping track of kids, schedules, meals, work, and every tiny detail no one else thinks about

❌ People-pleasing to the point of burnout, putting everyone’s needs before their own and desperately craving someone to take the lead for once

❌ Struggling with identity shifts that come from hormonal changes: disrupted sleep, unpredictable appetite, increased belly fat, hot flashes, irritability, and brain fog

This isn’t “dramatic.” This is biology.

Just because you can work out or eat well on your own does not mean your partner can - not with her hormones shifting, her stress elevated, and her body changing faster than she can keep up with.

Support her.

Encourage her.

Be her stability when she’s trying to rebuild hers.

She needs it more than she’s telling you.

Your body doesn’t run on a Monday–Friday work schedule. The weekends count.

You don’t have to be rigid, but you can be intentional. Hit your protein, get sunlight, move your body, keep your routines loosely in place. A little structure on Saturday and Sunday makes Monday feel lighter, not like a restart.

Consistency is a lifestyle, not a weekday job.

Happy Friday! 😊

If you have ever felt like your health falls to the bottom of the list, this is the resource built from your words.

Over the past few months, I ran a survey asking women about their goals, challenges, limitations, and what they feel is missing in their health journey. More than 70 women opened up and shared their experiences with me.

That survey became the foundation for something I wish every woman had access to.

The Women’s Wellness Vault was created for women who
• are too busy with kids to stay consistent
• fall off track every time life gets busy
• want easy healthy recipes
• are always short on time
• feel overwhelmed and need support
• need accountability
• are riding the hormone train with perimenopause
• have PMDD, irregular cycles, PCOS, or other hormone challenges

You do not need to wait in silence anymore to get the help you need. You do not need to guess. You do not need to figure this out alone.

Inside The Women’s Wellness Vault, you will learn how to complete a routine reset, set goals that actually move the needle, build muscle, reduce body fat, and support your hormones so you can regain your energy and confidence again.

Comment VAULT and I will send it your way.

The real secret to getting stronger isn’t switching your workouts every week. It’s repeating them.

I can’t tell you how many women are shocked when I have them follow the same workouts for 8 to 12 weeks.

They expect variety. They expect constant change.
Because somewhere along the way, we were told we need to “confuse our muscles” to see results.

But that could not be further from the truth.

One of my clients said this last month:
“I thought I’d get bored doing the same thing… but for the first time in years, I’m lifting heavier and actually seeing definition.”

Here’s why repeating workouts works better for women who want fat loss, muscle tone, and hormone balance:

• Repetition gives your body something familiar so you can improve your form and lift heavier over time.

• Progressively increasing weight, reps, or tempo is what builds lean muscle, not random workouts every week.

• Stable routines lower stress on your nervous system, which improves cortisol balance and recovery.

• When your training is predictable, your hormones, sleep, and energy regulate instead of feeling all over the place.

If you feel like you’re working out all the time but never seeing your body change… it’s usually not a motivation problem.
It’s a strategy problem.

Stick with the same workouts. Track your lifts. Watch your strength increase.
That’s how a toned, lean, energized body is actually built.

Comment GLOW if you want the exact weekly training structure I use with my clients for consistent results.

P.S. I took quite the hiatus from heavy lifting last year. My 1RM for a conventional deadlift is 205 pounds, so I acknowledge I already have a foundation. But training the deadlift week after week recently allowed me to increase my weight by 35 pounds. This graph doesn’t show my repetitions, but I can now rep out 175-pound deadlifts like it’s nothing. Next up is chasing 205 again (with my belt for lower back safety). The point is… progress happens when you have consistency and repeatability.

If you have been eating clean, working out, and still feel inflamed, bloated, exhausted, and stuck… it is not discipline. It is the lies women have been told.

After reading over 70 survey responses from women just like you, one pattern kept showing up:

Most women are not struggling because they are doing too little.
They are struggling because they are doing the wrong things for their bodies.

Here are the biggest myths your survey responses exposed:

👉 Myth 1: “I am eating healthy… so why do I feel awful?”
Because most women are eating “healthy” foods that leave them under-fueled, low protein, and on a blood sugar rollercoaster. That alone triggers cravings, fatigue, inflammation, and weight gain.

👉 Myth 2: “I just need more discipline.”
You do not have a discipline issue. You have an under-recovery issue. When your stress, sleep, and hormones are off, no plan will ever feel sustainable.

👉 Myth 3: “Maybe this is just my new normal.”
So many women said they felt stuck with bloating, brain fog, no energy, and stubborn weight… and assumed it was age or bad luck. None of that is normal. It is a sign your routine is not aligned with your hormones.

👉 Myth 4: “I need a stricter plan.”
Strict does not work. Structure does. The women who finally felt better were the ones who simplified their meals, protein, and training, not the ones who starved themselves or doubled down on cardio.

👉 Myth 5: “Everyone else has it together except me.”
Not even close. The most common words across your survey were tired, overwhelmed, inflamed, confused, stuck, and frustrated. You are not alone, and you are not broken.

I created The Women’s Wellness Vault for this exact reason.

It breaks down the most common patterns I saw from 70 plus women and shows you what is actually blocking your progress, including hormones, metabolism, inflammation, cravings, energy, and stress, so you can finally make changes that work.

This past weekend, I completed my first singles HYROX event (my third one this year!)

The first time, I competed in mixed doubles with my brother (we had to use men’s weights).
The second time, I did women’s doubles with a friend.
This time? I went solo — full women’s weights, every rep on my own.

Here’s how my times stacked up:

• Mixed doubles: 92 minutes
• Women’s doubles: 75 minutes
• Singles: 89 minutes

That means in 89 minutes, I completed:

• 5 miles of running
• 1000m on the SkiErg
• 1000m of rowing
• 50m sled push with 225 pounds
• 50m sled pull with 135 pounds
• 80m burpee broad jumps
• 200m farmers carry with 35-pound kettlebells
• 100m sandbag lunges with 22 pounds
• 100 wall balls with a 10-pound ball

And I did it all by myself 😄

That’s something I’m really proud of.

Next goal? Sub-80 minutes. Then 70. Then 60.
Every second shaved off represents better endurance, stronger lungs, and a more resilient mindset.

HYROX has reignited my love for running, reminded me how powerful my body is, and connected me with an incredible community of like-minded athletes who push for more. Not out of punishment, but passion.

When’s the last time you signed up for something that scared you a little?
Pushed your limits just to see what you’re capable of?
Let’s chat — I can help you train for your next breakthrough.

When I say testing can change everything — this is exactly what I mean.

One of my clients had been struggling with constant bloating, belching, and stomach discomfort for months. She tried cutting foods, taking probiotics, and tracking her meals… but nothing helped.

So, we ran a GI-MAP test.
The results came back showing an H. Pylori infection.

After receiving antibiotics from her doctor and making the nutrition and lifestyle changes we built together, she now has:

❌No bloating
❌No belching
❌No gastric discomfort

She finally feels normal again — and that’s the power of digging deeper.

This is what happens when you stop guessing and start testing.
This is what happens when you have a coach who listens, advocates, and collaborates with your care team.

I don’t just hand you a meal plan. I help you understand your body.

Whether it’s a GI-MAP, DUTCH test, or hormone panel — I’ve got your back every step of the way.

Health coaches like myself play an essential role in healthcare. We fill the gap that exists outside the four walls of a 10-minute appointment, ensuring you get the full-spectrum care you deserve.

Have you ever felt like something’s “off” but couldn’t get answers from your doctor?

Your morning sets the tone for your hormones.

Before the coffee, before the chaos... get sunlight, hydrate, and eat.
That first hour after waking is hormonal gold.

Cortisol and insulin are naturally at their highest in the morning. What you do during that window can either regulate your energy and blood sugar for the day… or send you straight into survival mode.

✅ Get 10–15 minutes of natural light.
✅ Drink water before your caffeine.
✅ Eat within 90 minutes of waking.

Simple steps, but they change everything! Focus, mood, cravings, and even fat loss.

Start the day supporting your body before the stress hits.
Your hormones will thank you later.

Wanna learn more? I created a video breaking this down in detail. Link is in the comments!

Think of your eating window as a daily reset for your hormones.

You don’t need extreme fasting or tight food rules. What actually makes a difference is giving your body a rhythm it can rely on.

A simple 9–11 hour eating window helps insulin rise and fall the way it’s supposed to. And when insulin finally gets those breaks? Your cravings change. Your afternoon crash isn’t as loud. Your energy feels a little more stable.

Spacing your meals a few hours apart gives your blood sugar room to settle before the next meal shows up. That’s where the real long-term shifts happen... not from restriction, but from letting your body do the job it’s already built to do.

And avoiding food 2–3 hours before bed supports deeper sleep, better recovery, and smoother mornings. It’s all connected.

These are small, sustainable habits. No extremes. No perfection. Just structure that works with your hormones instead of against them.

If you’re a woman over 30 still trying to lose fat by eating less and doing more cardio… you’re accidentally making the whole journey harder.

I learned this the hard way.
I did everything I thought I was “supposed” to do and my body pushed back with fatigue, cravings, stubborn fat, bloating, and zero progress.

And almost every woman I coach today is stuck in that same cycle.

Here is the truth that most women were never taught.

Your hormones decide whether your body will lose fat or hold onto it.
And most traditional diet rules work against your hormones, not with them.

In the new YouTube video I released, I break down the simplest fat loss diet for women over 30. The same approach I use with clients who feel like their metabolism has slowed down, they are constantly tired, or their old routines no longer work.

Inside the video, I cover:
• Why eating more can reset your metabolism
• How protein protects your hormones and your muscle tone
• How carbs actually support your thyroid and energy
• Why too much cardio raises cortisol and stalls progress
• How to sync your nutrition with your cycle so you feel your best all month long

If you feel stuck, frustrated, or confused about what your body needs after 30, this video will give you the clarity you’ve been looking for.
