This solo episode of Marc My Words is a LinkedIn/Instagram Live that is also being distributed as a formal Marc My Words episode as well.

They learned some very important lessons about the regrets these people shared as they came to terms with their own existence. Marc shares his wisdom and point of view on the regrets that were shared by these individuals. Marc My Words was created partly because Marc didn't want to look back and have regrets about not taking a chance and putting himself out there.
