BONUS: Why Gary Vee Says Parents Are RUINING Their Kids

from The Chris Cuomo Project · host Chris Cuomo

Gary Vaynerchuk (CEO, VaynerMedia) joins Chris Cuomo for a raw conversation about why young Americans are struggling despite having more opportunities than ever. Gary V argues that overprotective parenting, participation trophies, and a lack of accountability have created a generation that expects success without work—while parents use their children's achievements for their own self-esteem. The discussion tackles the hard truths about why 22-year-olds are moving back home, why kids are protesting causes they don't understand, and how America has become addicted to blame instead of personal responsibility. Vaynerchuk shares his immigrant perspective on merit, consequences, and why he believes the real pandemic isn't COVID—it's the death of accountability. From parents wanting to attend job interviews to the weaponization of fear in politics, this conversation exposes uncomfortable realities about modern American culture.
