OVERVIEW:

Malcolm "Mr. Just 2 Nice" Marable talks to your host Erik Smith about thinking about your goals long-term.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
  • The more you do in life, the more you figure out what you like, until you find your purpose.
  • He used his popularity as a college athlete and money he got from financial aid to fund the first version of his business.
  • Because his marketing options were limited as an NCAA athlete, he had to rely on word-of-mouth to grow his business.
  • When he was moved from running back to corner on his college football team, he had to learn how to approach that with a positive attitude and make the decision to see his goal of graduating through.
  • He has always managed to think about how a choice will affect his life in a few hours, a few days, a few weeks, months, years, which has given him a long view and great perspective on how to achieve his goals.
  • He noticed that personal trainers he was seeing work didn't have the knowledge to back their work up, so he decided to read a lot about teaching and fitness to become a personal trainer himself with the goal of teaching people to use their bodies healthily.
  • He grew up skinny and has always had a fast metabolism, but you still have to pay attention to what you eat.
  • Investing is useful to help build generational wealth.
  • Whatever is going on in your life, it is temporary.
3 KEY POINTS:
  1. If you identify what your ultimate goal is, you'll be better equipped to make choices that align with that goal.

  2. Learning to invest to build wealth is important, especially when you come from a background without a lot of money.

  3. Think long-term.
TWEETABLE QUOTES:
  • "I knew that this is my life, and I can BS because I'm mad at the coach, but at the end of the day this is my life… So once he said give yourself a chance, that's exactly what I did. I started going hard at corner, and things ended up a lot better for me." –Mr. Just 2 Nice
