Marc My Words-- Celebrating 150 episodes & 2025 accomplishments

This solo episode of Marc My Words is a celebration of reaching 150 episodes. However, coming into 2025, Marc made one goal for himself: to make some serious progress with his business in the new year. So far Marc has accomplished several things he is extremely proud of. Marc uses this as an opportunity to not only pat himself on the back, but to also inspire those who are still trying to find their way in the entrepreneurial space.

Marc My Words-- Paul Byrne: Founder of Razoyo

Paul Byrne often brands himself as a guy who "rage-quit" his job before becoming an entrepreneur. However, once you get past this clever piece of branding, you will find that there is much more to Paul than this one incident in his career. Paul learned from this time in his life, took his talents and started his own business. This is not only an episode that focuses on Paul's story and career transition, it also goes into career fulfillment, mental health, and resilience. There are also interesting lessons in communication and how we perceive each other within the work environment.
