Mark Manson is the 3x NYT Bestselling Author of "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck". After navigating life as a pick-up artist, a blogger, and eventually securing his legacy as one of the most successful authors and independent publishers in self-help and motivation, now landing a movie deal with Universal, Mark settles in with Jen to discuss it all. He warns about the good and the bad that can come from relying on other's wisdom in the "self-help space", as well as approaching how others like, Tony Robbins, Et al. make their success and how it falls on the consumer to be careful in utilizing the tools of these speakers/authors. Mark explains portions of his life wherein sometimes 10 guys would pay him thousands to watch him flirt with women and coach them, to acquiring an audience through his blog, and finally writing one the best-selling books in self-help history at nearly 15 million copies sold and counting. On top of all of that, wouldn't you know, he co-authored Will Smith's autobiography from a couple years ago called "Will" which of course, prompted a conversation around the actor and the infamous "slap". Mark is quick, witty, charming, and open to every part of his life no matter how past it may be. Maybe you've read one of his book, but have never known who he really is. Perhaps you've been looking for a more blunt approach to self-help and this is where you'll find it. Regardless, he's a great interview and this is a fun episode! Don't miss it!
