At just 20 years old Marcus Whitney, was a young father with another child on the way. He had dropped out of college, was working as a waiter and living in an efficiency hotel. But as Marcus explains, what you do when your back is against the wall makes all the difference.
Listen as we discuss:
- Overcoming poverty, depression and past trauma to become a thriving entrepreneur.
- How success can camouflage unaddressed trauma – showing up, as Marcus teaches, in the form of some dysfunctional behavior that you probably don’t love about yourself.
- Marcus’ book, Create and Orchestrate, an elegant and fresh business framework applicable across industries.
- Honestly evaluating the ROI of your educational dollars.
