Always surround yourself with people who support you...and people you support yourself. ❤️

No one else's success should create insecurity in you.

Not one person's actions have anything to do with yours, and for damn sure it should have no impact on your own confidence.

Most new managers think that becoming a manager is the “graduation.” Truth is, it’s the reverse.

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 blame, and being the bigger person.

Remember, leaders work for their employees.

The world is full of talkers who complain and envy doers. 

You wanna win … you have to f*cking grind … you have to “rough it” … now what?

Roll up on that business idea and give it a shot, make it happen. Being 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and having regrets that you didn't swing the bat? That's the worst of them all. 

Our at-bat is in front of us. Take a swing!

Hope this helps someone tonight 🌙 … these things can unlock much more happiness and release a lot of tension in your chest

People don’t get that kindness is the best business strategy.

As I go through my own life, I’m realizing more and more how kindness is such a big part of the equation. It’s not just about sales and negotiation. It’s not just about doing what you love. It’s not just about hustle.

That’s why It breaks my heart that so many people think “nice guys finish last.”

If you give value to someone else first in business, you have the leverage. I truly believe that.

There's so much talk … so little consistent doing. 

Talking sh*t about anyone, even your competitors, is a waste of your time...and talking bad about someone else doesn’t make your life better 💜

Give yourself a little grace .. there is no figuring it out .. there's just enjoyment of the process.

Life is longer than they tell you kids … and if you deploy intention and patience along with an ability to tune “them” out …. You will live a much more joyful life 

Give yourself grace. Don’t be lazy or complacent, but be patient and thoughtful.

I’m gonna draw it out for you all …. whose permission are you waiting for?

Community is the last great asset.

When you play out all these chess in your life, it's going to be the only thing left. The people who care about you and the people you care about...they are the ones who will open up the doors in your career -- and in your life.

I'll always bet on that, and I believe that to the end.

Don’t waste energy

Too many over focus on non controllable aspects of life!

One of the great missteps of society over the last half century is us losing our way with understanding the value of the generations above us...

Their wisdom, their understanding, their stories. This little move I talk about in this video might change the course of someone's life... and I hope that someone actually considers it and takes action. 

Doing wonderful things for people is always a good idea but when you do it, and in return it actually brings you even more value not just for your soul but for your perspective and maybe remapping the way you see the world is something I wish for all of you.

If you want shit to change, one of the quickest ways to do it is to change the people you're hanging out (or working) with. Changing who you hang out with can make a big difference in your life.

You’re in control … and when you have the courage to choose you … everything changes

I hope you look back when you're 90 and know you've made a difference. 

So many of you will choose your careers and what you spend your life on because of your parents wishes or pushes when deep down you know it’s not right for you … 

....I have a secret for you … if you truly adore and respect and love your parents, you’re better off fighting it out now because you don’t want to end up like the millions of people who regret and dwell on listening to their folks and now find themselves deeply unhappy in their day to days … send this to a kid or a parent that needs it.

Hope you woke up happy today- oh and that’s how you do the financial success and make it sustainable…you focus on joy first!

I don’t even know if my company, VaynerMedia, looks at resumes. I sure don’t.

I hire SVPs and VPs — I did two interviews the other day — and I have no clue where any candidate worked or what college they went to.

Now, do college degrees matter? Yes, of course there are several professions where you need a college degree & many others who only hire from the Ivies, but it's not the standard for everyone anymore.

My company is a real legit company—the hottest Madison Avenue agency out there—we don't even require a college degree. I couldn't tell you what college 99% of my employees went to...

I have no f*cking clue. It doesn't matter. And by the way, other, real companies are taking it out of the equation too. Some of the best engineers ... these kids today are saying, "F*ck college! I'm going to make millions by building a little app."

It's becoming like sports out here. Nobody gave a f*ck that LeBron didn't go to college ... so I think businesses are starting to become like sports...

Talk to me about your TALENT, not about what box you check ✅

Don’t get me wrong: ideas and thoughts are nice. They’re great.

I always say, ‘ideas are sh*t, execution is the game.’ And a lot of people get mad at me when I say that sometimes, because a great idea can be hard to come by. And they’re not wrong.

But there are so many great ideas. So many of them. There are way less great executions. Because execution is hard.

It's your life, not anyone else's. Stop fearing their opinions, and thoughts to validate you and and your path. They don't know the truth, you do.

Do not overthink. Just DO.

I'm the Founder & CEO of SiteTrust, the verification and certification trust badge for AI transparency. We help organizations demonstrate credibility and build consumer trust in an era where AI has fundamentally changed digital interaction. 

THE PROBLEM WE'RE SOLVING

We are solving the AI Trust Crisis.  Organizations face mounting pressure to demonstrate AI transparency from regulators, consumers, and competitive dynamics. But they lack an independent authority to verify their practices and prove trustworthiness. That's where SiteTrust comes in.  We are in a low trust environment and SiteTrust's mission is to increase trust through credibility.

MY BACKGROUND

I spent 10 years as a corporate business attorney before transitioning to entrepreneurship in 2007. Since then, I've built and exited three 7-8 figure companies (and broke one along the way), generating over $400M in sales. My ventures earned multiple Inc. 5000 recognitions and "Greatest Places to Work in America" awards.This unique combination of legal expertise in compliance and risk management plus entrepreneurial experience scaling businesses positioned me to identify and solve a critical market need. Organizations don't need another tool. They need verification infrastructure. They need credibility.

WHAT I BELIEVE

Build businesses that solve real problems. Create solutions that matter. Never compromise on what's truly important: Faith, Family, Fitness, Finance, and Fun. 

WRITING & THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

I'm the author of four books:

1.  The CEO's Mindset: Breakthrough to the Next Level
2.  False Profits: It's Not the Top Level that Pays You
3.  The Best Investment: A Better You
4.  Beyond Your Shadow: Legacy Through Multiplication

I'm currently writing "The Trust Gap: How to Use Transparency to Win Customers in a Low Trust Environment"

PERSONAL

Married to Debbi for 30 years, father of four, living in Akron, Ohio. Man of deep faith who proves extraordinary achievement doesn't require sacrificing what matters most. Let's connect if you're interested in AI transparency, building trust infrastructure, or creating businesses that solve real problems.

Open article: 95% Of Companies Got Nothing From Their AI Investment: Explained. by Vinnie Fisher • 6 min read

95% Of Companies Got Nothing From Their AI Investment: Explained.

Most companies I talk to have an AI adoption problem they haven't named yet.

The tools work. 
The output is real. 
But six months in, the team is exhausted. 

Workloads expanded instead of shrinking. 
Nobody planned for what daily AI use would actually do to the people doing the work.

That's not a technology failure; that's a leadership gap.

When we built out the fourth pillar of responsible AI at SiteTrust, we weren't asking whether companies should use AI. 

They should. 

The question we kept coming back to was simpler: Is your organization adopting AI in a way that's sustainable for the people using it?

That question doesn't get asked enough. 
And the companies that ignore it are already paying for it, in terms of turnover, burnout, and cultural problems that don't show up on a dashboard until it's too late.

Sustainable AI adoption is a leadership discipline. 

Not an HR checkbox. 

Not a training module. 

A decision that gets made (or doesn't) at the top.

The companies building AI right are thinking about all four pillars: Transparency, Governance, Regulatory Compliance, and Workforce Sustainability. 

Not as separate conversations. As one.

That's what responsible AI actually looks like.
