Entrepreneur Marc Besteman hosts guests from all walks of life, all with their own story and breakthrough moment. Deep, unfiltered, insightful and powerful conversations with some extraordinary humans. This podcast was created with the sole purpose to ignite breakthrough thinking in those listening. Note from Marc By no means am I claiming to be an expert or "guru." Im a real guy who has had some great ups and some terrible downs. With grit, work, accountability and will, I pulled myself out of the darkest place I have ever experienced. My way of doing isn't necessarily the way for everyone, nor should it be. That is the beauty of it, everyone who has done it, has a different way. I want to capture those stories and help as many people as I possibly can to live their life in the most optimal way possible.  I have climbed the corporate latter and also navigated the entrepreneurial world successfully. I failed way more than I succeeded, been punched in the mouth by life plenty of times. I created this concept to fulfill a passion, a passion to help. 90% of the guests of this show will be people you have never heard of, but their stories and their messages will be ones you will never forget. I appreciate you being here, and I look forward to hearing your story. Marc
