Getting Old with Mark Manson

Noah Kagan
About this episode

Today, we're talking with my long time friend and renowned author and blogger Mark Manson.

Mark Manson has authored several New York Times best selling books. Notably, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck," &  "Everything Is F*cked".

Mark takes us behind the scenes, discussing the marketing strategies and tactics that have propelled him to become one of THE most successful writers of our time. 

 

As success accumulates, so do the demands on your time and resources. Mark talks about the critical inflection point that every entrepreneur reaches, where the power of saying "no" becomes vital. In this episode He peel's back the curtain and uncovers the hard work and dedication that often go unnoticed behind the façade of an 'overnight success.'

 

In this conversation, you'll enjoy 3 BIG things:

  • The Other Side of Success: Mark provides a glimpse into the challenges and realities that come with achieving major goals.

 

  • Dealing with Burnout: How he uses the business equivalent of elimination diet to align with his goals and prioritize his time.

 

  • Pursuit of Happiness: What is the difference between the high points of business success and genuine happiness in the midst of a busy entrepreneurial journey.

 

Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
