I’m 18 hours away from finishing college. I’m not going back. I don’t need it. But even though I didn’t finish college, I’ll never finish learning. I didn’t read my first book cover to cover until I was 25. It was The Secret of Closing Sales by Charles Roth, and…
How many times have you started something, gotten frustrated, and walked away? What if you'd stuck with it? Where would you be today? In Episode 1029 of "What's Your Problem?" I'm breaking down three ways to become more persistent, inspired by Steven Kotler's book "The Art of Impossible" Here's what…
Let me show you how the math maths. Three 10-minute pockets a day. That’s 30 minutes. About 182 hours a year. Over five years, that’s 38 full days. That’s what you could reclaim by putting those little pockets to use instead of putting things off. Make the call. Start the…
How often do you talk yourself out of something before you even start? In The Art of Impossible, Steven Kotler describes “the habit of ferocity”—developing the instinct to lean into challenges before that internal negotiation takes over. It reminds me of Mel Robbins’ five-second rule: count down, bust a move,…
Have you ever gotten tired thinking about something you haven’t done yet? The task keeps coming back to mind, and you keep promising yourself you’ll handle it later. I’ve done that more times than I can count. Today’s random reading took me to “The Habit of Ferocity,” a chapter in…
Do you have sales balls? Sales is full of risk. Risk in prospecting. Risk in following up. Risk in asking for the sale. Risk in standing on your price. Risk in pushing past the point where most salespeople back off. But most of the risk you feel as a salesperson…

You can start preparing for the next level right now by improving your discipline, communication, decision-making, problem-solving, work ethic, leadership, and ability to take responsibility. In this episode, I unpack an idea from Jason Rasti, president of Louisiana…
Reel title: Why I Hold the Numbers Video description: I’m not holding the numbers because I’m afraid of them. To the contrary, I’m holding the proposal because I believe in it. When you just fire numbers off in a text and say, “Let me know if you have any questions,”…
Are you losing sales because you’re hiding behind text? In this video, I break down why persuasive selling is not self-service and why simply sending a proposal and saying, “Let me know if you have any questions,” can leave too much room for doubt, uncertainty, and misunderstanding. Inspired by Napoleon…
Imagination is proof that you trust yourself. With knowledge, you’re always reaching forward—to the next book, the next podcast, the next video, the next degree. But imagination works differently. Napoleon Hill called it the “workshop of the mind.” You take old ideas, your experience, and firsthand knowledge, then reassemble them…
Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” A lot of times we think we need to read one more book, listen to one more podcast, watch one more video, get another degree, or earn another license before we can get started. But sometimes that’s just procrastination dressed up as…
Creativity is a muscle. A lot of people say, “I’m just not creative.” But creativity isn’t what you are—it’s what you do. And the more you use it, the better you get at it. Use it more, and it becomes more useful. #MarshBuuce #Creativity #PersonalDevelopment #SelfImprovement #RandomReading
Want to be more creative? The good news is creativity isn’t something you’re born with—it’s a skill you can develop. In this episode, I break down 5 ways to be more creative and strengthen your imagination so you can see more possibilities, solve problems differently, and turn what you already…
What if you only needed a 50% to get an A in life? Napoleon Hill’s point is that when you definitely know what you want, half the battle is already won. The other half? Doing. Not 50 different things. A handful of simple things you do consistently, day after day,…
Life is simple. It’s just not easy. We complicate things when we start obsessing over how it’s going to happen and when it’s going to happen. Get clear on what you want. Then keep the actions that support it simple. You don’t need the whole roadmap today. You need the…
I’m a big believer in "random reading"—just 10–15 minutes a day, reading something that makes you stop, think, and apply it to your own life. Today, that came from Napoleon Hill’s "The Law of Success" and one line that hit me hard: "The battle for the achievement of success is…
Every result won’t give you the outcome you wanted. But every result gives you feedback. Don’t personalize it. Don’t blame. Don’t justify. Use it. Adjust. Go again. What you miss becomes your momentum. #Momentum #Mindset #KeepGoing #NeverSettle #StayTough
Success isn’t only threatened by failure—it’s threatened by the forces that quietly convince you to stop doing the work. In this episode, inspired by Steven Pressfield’s Do the Work, I break down three forces that can sabotage your progress: resistance, rational thought, and friends and family. Learn how to recognize…
Salespeople: you need an iron sharpener. And you probably don’t have very many of them. That little huddle you get into every day? Be careful. If all they do is complain about the leads, the managers, the customers, the pay plan, the inventory, and how “nobody can make money anymore,”…
What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t your circumstances—it’s your buts? “I want to get in shape, but I’m too busy.” “I want to get out of debt, but I still want to eat out.” “I want to make more money, but I don’t want to do all that…
In this episode, I want to challenge the way you think about imagination. Most people hear that word and immediately think of artists, filmmakers, inventors, or people who are naturally creative. And because they don’t see themselves that way, they assume imagination just isn’t one of their strengths. I don’t…
What if you could completely change the way you think—and ultimately change your life—in just 30 minutes a day? In Episode 1019 of What's Your Problem?, I share the simple daily habit I've practiced since 2017 that helped me rebuild my life after bankruptcy, depression, and one of the darkest…
What can leaders learn from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about giving feedback? In this episode of What's Your Problem?, I break down one of the most powerful leadership lessons from The Nvidia Way—a principle that completely changed how I think about coaching, accountability, and building high-performing teams. As Nvidia grew…
Before you buy a used vehicle, ask one question that most shoppers never think to ask: “Can I see the reconditioning report?” A vehicle history report tells you where the vehicle has been. A reconditioning report tells you what the dealership actually did to prepare it for sale. Knowing the…
