Marie Forleo is an entrepreneur, writer, philanthropist & unshakeable optimist dedicated to helping people become the person they most want to be. She should know — after an unfulfilling start on Wall Street, it was a call for advice with her dad that motivated her to realize she must re-embrace her creative side, which ultimately lead her to work at “Mademoiselle” and discover the world of life coaching. Fast forward to today: she’s built a socially conscious digital empire that has touched millions, with an award-winning show MarieTV, world-class online training programs, a book in 16 languages, and an audience in 195 countries! Marie joins Socialfly Co-Founders Stephanie Cartin and Courtney Spritzer for a conversation about her career and describes her journey to success, including how Marie got so good at digital marketing; why saying no to things can make you feel joyful; the harsh reality of opportunity cost; how tapping into your body that can offer a simple test for what’s a bad choice vs. what is merely outside your comfort zone; the value of listening to your “little voice” of intuition; how a craving for a croissant led to the decision to close her business for four weeks every year; and, why Marie’s demand to change her book cover at the eleventh hour made so much sense. Plus, a surprise!
