What’s Your Problem? with Marsh Buice

In this episode, I break down the real truth about passion—where it comes from and what it requires. Passion doesn’t start with a feeling; it starts with getting good at something and building confidence.  From Mark Cuban’s story to my own journey in sales and podcasting, I’ll show you how competence creates passion, and why true passion demands suffering, endurance, sacrifice, patience, and the c...

And if you weren’t born into wealth, you’ve actually got the upper hand — because lack is leverage.

Everyone says they just want to be happy—but that mindset might be the biggest head fake of them all. In this episode, I unpack the hard truth: being happy is fleeting, but choosing happiness is forever. Happiness isn’t a mood. It’s a direction. And the path to it? That takes discipline—a personal code of behavior that keeps you moving, especially when your emotions don’t. We’ll explore: Why chasi...

Who’s believing who? In sales, customers don’t always leave because of facts—they leave because of fear and doubt. Your job isn’t to argue. It’s to build a case, present evidence, and plant a reasonable doubt that walking away is their best choice. In this episode, I’ll show you how to stay engaged, keep the ball bouncing, and steer the conversation so the customer feels empowered to choose you....

In this episode, I walk you through a mindset shift that will change how you show up in the world—starting with two simple ideas: 👉 When you tell yourself no —take it seriously. 👉 When someone else tells you no —don’t make it permanent. This isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s...

In this episode, we unpack Proverbs 16:22—"Discretion is a life-giving fountain to those who possess it, but discipline is wasted on fools."  Here's what I discovered this morning: everyone talks about discipline, but few ever develop discretion.  I’ll show you why discretion is the internal leadership skill most people overlook—and how practicing it can save you from the endless cy...

This episode is all about being wrong on the way to being right. We’re wired to want to be right. To look smart. To avoid mistakes.  But that mindset kills growth. In this riff, I challenge you to flip the script. I’ll show you why being wrong isn’t just part of the process—it is the process. When you embrace failure with humility, you pick up shelf experiences, sharpen your skills, and keep your...

Most people think good habits are the secret to success. They’re not. Habits are the road you travel—but they’re not the vehicle that gets you there. The real game changer? Metaskills. In this episode, I break down why habits alone won’t get you where you want to go, why people burn out when they rely on them, and how metaskills—like communication, curiosity, creativity, continuous learning &...

You can justify anything.

There are always windows.  And you’ve got more leverage than you think. But if you’re not paying attention—if you’re distracted, discouraged, or just going through the motions—you’ll miss both. In this episode, I’m talking directly to you about the two things that separate the average from the elite in sales—and in life: your ability to spot opportunity and your willingness to use what you’ve got...

Ever had a customer lie to your face? Yeah—me too.  But what if they’re not actually lying to you ... What if they’re just trying to protect themselves? In today’s episode, I break down a conversation I had with one of my salespeople—he asked how I keep working with a customer after I know they’re not being honest with me. This episode will help you reframe what you’re seeing, take the emotion out...

Have you ever said, “I just have no willpower” ? Yeah, me too. But what if the problem isn’t that you’re weak—or that you don’t want it bad enough? What if the real issue is that you’re trying to use willpower the wrong way… at the wrong time? In this episode, I’m breaking down what I learned from Gary Keller’s The One Thing , along with my own experience, about how willpower actually works—and wh...

Sometimes, the message hits differently. This is a fresh riff on a truth I’ve shared before—but now I see it more sharply, more urgently:   You can’t fake consistency. Time is the ultimate storyteller.  Where you are right now is the result of what you've done repeatedly, not what you've said, planned, or promised. In this episode, I unpack how identity, daily decisions, and small non-ne...

Most people aren’t stuck because they made the wrong decision. They’re stuck because they never made any decision at all.

If you’ve been second-guessing yourself… stuck in neutral… or waiting for the “perfect” answer, you need to hear this. He...

In this episode, I'm not talking about sales tactics—I'm talking about the hardest sale you’ll ever make: to sell you on you.  You’ll learn why the internal “yeah but” conversations are killing your momentum, how emotions—not facts—actually drive your decisions, and why acting before you negotiate is the key to breaking through. This episode will show you: Why curiosity is the doorway to...

We talk a lot about habits, but what we don’t talk about enough is tolerance —what you let slide, what you justify, what you slowly start accepting. In this episode, I explore the asymmetry of tolerance —how we unconsciously expand our tolerance for destructive behaviors, while simultaneously shrinking our tolerance for the discomfort that accompanies growth and success. You're going to learn...

Today, I unpack a powerful idea from Ray Dalio’s Principles : “To be effective, your need to be right must not be more important than your need to find out what’s true.” How often are we more focused on proving ourselves right than actually learning something new? This episode explores: The difference between being right and being effective Why pride in what you “think you know” limits your growth...

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck but doing everything you know to do? In this episode, I crack open a powerful passage from Principles by Ray Dalio—specifically page 186—and talk about the two hidden barriers that are keeping you from realizing your full potential: your ego and your blind spots . Most of the time, we get trapped in our own heads, spinning in circles, thinking we can figure eve...
