What’s Your Problem? with Marsh Buice

Steven Kotler (who wrote one of my favorite books “The Rise of Superman”) said on a recent podcast w/ Michael Gervais, “Rule #1: Never trust the dopamine.” Dopamine is the neurochemical that is released into your system when you get recognized, likes, retweets, or reach celebrity status. ⭐️The danger with chasing the dopamine is you never get off the treadmill of chasing the next praise, soliciti...

“The Edge is the place where the hair on the back of your head stands up...when you’ve achieved a level of clarity unlike any other...when you know exactly what you must do..” but often don’t.⭐️What’s Your Edge? You have an edge, but often you look at your edge as a ledge- afraid that if you take the leap, there’s no coming back. But, “Life is not one leap...it’s a series of leaps.” Tommy Baker....

Today's episode is deeply personal for me & was a revelation after I read an interview between Howard Stern and Hip Hop's first Billionaire Jay Z, retold in his self titled book, "Howard Stern Comes Again." Jay told Stern of his anger he had with his father who abandoned his wife and children to avenge the death of his brother. At age 12 Jay & his fractured family were...

When David Epstein worked for Sports Illustrated, students would often write him & ask him for advice if they should major in journalism or writing?...Epstein couldn’t answer that question because he majored in Geology & Astronomy. ⭐️ How in the world would those skills enable him to leap past a pool of others waiting to be the next beat writer? ⭐️Oliver Smith wrote, “You’re probably not...

When I was reading Tommy Baker's book, "The Leap of Your Life" he mentioned a book that peaked my curiosity titled, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway," by Susan Jeffers, so I started reading that one too :) In it, Jeffers writes, "You are not responsible for all of the experiences IN your Life, but you are responsible for the experiences OF your Life." As I continu...

I was listening to an author on a podcast the other day & he said, "No single day is heroic, the secret is showing up..." Initially I was like "YES!" I running with that thought, but the more I got to thinking, it didn't seem right because the heroic act is in the single days...when you don't feel like showing up...yet you do. The heroic is showing up "anyway...

During an interview, Sam Jones complemented actor Jeff Daniel's pragmatism and professionalism. Daniels said his approach came from some wise advice he received many years ago, "The Limo you're sitting in today is rented and someone will be sitting in this same limo tomorrow-so be grateful for what you have today." Today's episode is a quick reminder that no matter how goo...

In 1955 Robert Stine wanted to photograph the non-Hollywood version of Marilyn Monroe so they tamed Norma Jean's curls, put on an overcoat and no one seemed to notice as she road the NY City subway.

When Joe Rogan was asked how he dealt with the shadows that still linger in his life, Rogan answered that he creates his struggle through rigorous workouts, MMA training, performing in comedy clubs, running multiple businesses, and creating one of the world's top rated podcast.

Charlie Munger wrote, “The man who can play all instruments can write his own symphony, but the man who can play one instrument is limited to just playing his part.” Munger’s symphony is “investing” & his instruments are the businesses he’s developed a deep understanding for.

Tommy Baker gave a speech titled, “The Journey Is The Win,” in which he said that even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty you’re going to one day look back on those days as hellish as they may be, you’ll miss them. You may not miss the moments, but you’ll miss the meaning. ⭐️ Today’s episode closes a chapter in my life where I’ve been in the grips of financial and physical loss...& in a st...

With nearly 400 episodes in the can, it’s easy to forget something that we talked about 300 episodes ago. This episode was Episode #112 & I think it’s worth replaying bc when we miss...when we fail, fall, or miss out, we normally beat ourselves up with either “I should’ve jumped on the opportunity,” or “I bombed this one.” But keep in mind the results will vary...but the feedback is constant....

In the book, “The 1% Rule” Tommy Baker writes that you should not be fooled when you see someone who is labeled as an “overnight” success bc what you don’t see are all of the rejections, disses, boos, arguments, & desperate moments it took to get there. The times they played to a crowd of 3; had to sleep 7 in a sleazy motel room; the times they were cheated & wanted to quit. They weren’t a...

Today's episode is inspired by a chapter in comedian Chris Gethard's b ook (not sure if that's a stage name or not :), "Lose Well." He writes, "When we decide we want to shift the standard of our life to include something new and out of the box, we tend to spend a lot of time apologizing for it and justifying it..." No lies in that statement, right? We throw a lo...

So we know the definition of faith is “the substance of things hoped for & the evidence of things not yet seen.” In Sales..& in Life we must have faith, but sometimes when adversity leans in too much, we lose our faith & end up settling thinking it just wasn’t our time. Recently my faith was being tested & my faith wasn’t enough. That was the day I heard Hal Elrod speak of “Unwaver...

On the same day the world’s financial system literally caved in, Ryan Serhant began his real estate career...great timing, huh? Ryan’s life was already on the skids, so he decided to try his hand in sales. At the end of his first day, he walks into a corner store to buy some yogurt, hands the cashier his credit card & it’s declined....Ryan was so broke he couldn’t even buy yogurt. That moment...

Teddy Roosevelt is one of my favorite presidents bc not only was he an underdog, but a badass overall. (He once got shot on the way to give a speech & he damn sure didn’t miss giving it!) Roosevelt grew up frail & suffered from terrible asthma attacks. To combat this, his father told him that he must “make his own body” & Teddy did just that. Roosevelt grew up privileged- whatever he n...
