Benny Carreon, Dennis, and Marc A Wolfe explore the pervasive 'yeah, but' mentality that often hinders personal and professional growth as discussed in Marc's book. They discuss the internal and external barriers that lead to hesitation in pursuing goals, the role of fear in decision-making, and the importance of fostering a culture of openness and support in the workplace. The conversation emphasizes the need for self-awareness, the courage to overcome fears, and the responsibility of managers to motivate and engage their employees. Ultimately, the discussion encourages listeners to embrace a growth mindset and view challenges as opportunities for development.
Marc A. Wolfeâs curiosity was evident early on when the eager fourth grader was kicked out of his New Jersey public schoolâfor being too helpful in explaining lessons. Though confused by their decision, Marc discovered his calling: empowering people to unlock their boundless potential.
This passion lit an unexpected career fuse, beginning as a 16-year-old freelance photographer capturing Presidents, pro athletes, and celebrities. Pivoting his creative eye, Marc became a pioneering Apple computer dealer, reinforcing the magic of Macs in companies like CNBC, TXU Communications, GAF, and Tiffany & Co. years before the iPod existed.
But hardware was the means, not the endgame. Marc yearned to directly uplift leaders in transformational growth. So adding to his work as an innovation and strategy consultant, he also became an International Coaching Federation (ICF) certified executive coach, blending insights across healthcare, entertainment, finance, and more. Offering empathy, humor, and wisdom, Marc facilitates getting leaders unstuck at organizations such as Bridgestone, Tufts Health Plan, Ramsey Solutions, Synnex, Thread Bank, and Choice Hotels Owners Council.
Expanding his reach, Marc contributed leadership articles to Forbes.com while also serving as an INC5000 Executive Coach. Understanding great collaborations fuse heart and mind, Marc served as a Facilitator for Marshall Goldsmithâs MG100âfostering human-centered breakthroughs.
With his bestselling book âYeah, But...Cut Through the Noise to Live, Learn and Lead Better,â Marc combines a career of unexpected pivots into practical leadership perspectives. Audiences relate to this witty Jersey guy living his best life outside of Nashville, TN, with his forever bride while his two adult daughters are nearby.
Marc guides his clients to action by connecting authentically and meeting people where they are at. He mixes humor, vulnerability, and wisdom distilled from unplanned detours into surprisingly impactful destinations. He always turns âConversations into Outcomesâ

Every business must set a price for the goods or services it provides, but finding the right price is often a challenge.
