21. Markus Kaulius on the Myth of Solo Success

Learning the Hard Way the Easy Way

Do you ever feel like you have to do it all on your own?
Entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist Markus Kaulius joins Alex in an inspiring discussion to shatter the myth of solo success and share how he learned to lean on others in this episode of Learning the Hard Way the Easy Way.
Even if we know the 'lone wolf' mentality doesn't work, we don't always know where to turn to for guidance. Markus and Alex explore the cultural, generational, and personal influences that shape the relationship between confidence, ego, and willingness to ask for help. Markus recounts his own struggles early in life trying to find the voices that spoke to him. Do mentors have to be in your field or industry? Can you only learn from those who are less successful than you? Do you even have to know someone to consider them a mentor? Markus answers a resounding no to all of the above. He and Alex talk about the importance of staying teachable and being open to new insights while also having the strength to tune out a message, or a messenger, that isn't right for you.
But listening and learning isn't enough. Success comes from taking action. Markus and Alex discuss strategies to build sustainable habits, focusing on the importance of starting small — with our health, career, or personal relationships.
Tune in to hear a thoughtful examination of the habits that shape our lives, and how nourishing your curiosity can make all the difference on the path to success.
