Wolfe joins Jim McCarthy to break down the “Yeah, but…” excuses that keep leaders and business owners stuck. From college vs. alternative paths, intrapreneurship vs. entrepreneurship, and failing forward, to fake gurus, AI, and the power of being a “certified human,” Marc shares straight‑talk insights on creating real options in your career and business—without pretending everything’s perfect.\nKey Highlights\nThe “Yeah, but…” trap – The three most common excuses Marc hears (“no time,” “what if I fail,” “what will people think?”) and how to reframe them.\nCollege vs. outcomes – Why nobody really wants college or a job; they want what those paths can provide.\nEntrepreneur, intrapreneur, multipreneur – How to build multiple income streams even if you stay employed.\nFrom film to Apple to exec coaching – Marc’s path from freelance photography to Apple dealer to executive coach.\nFixed vs. growth mindset – Why the most valuable people are often the ones who ask, “How do I improve this?”\nFailure as a feature – Using missteps as data instead of evidence you’re not good enough.\nReal coaching vs. hucksters – What legitimate executive coaching looks like in a world of “overnight success” gurus.\nThe “Now / Near / Next / No” filter – A simple way to prioritize (and kill) ideas so you can actually move forward.\nBeing a “certified human” in the AI age – How showing you’re real, present, and imperfect can \nbe your best differentiator.\nAs you listen, think about the “yeah, buts” that are running your own decisions—career, business, or life—and which one needs to go first. \nFollow Marc:\nhttps://www.marcawolfe.com/\n_____________________________________________________________________\n****SUBSCRIBE/RATE/FOLLOW the Mostly Middle Tennessee Business Podcast:\nwww.mmtbp.com\nwww.instagram.com/mostlymiddletnbusinespodcast\nwww.instagram.com/jimmccarthyvos\nTiktok: @jimmccarthyvos    ...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/MQ_OhPfdW9BdEjsZHWT49CTxYJ8Q_hM2MA0llbwBouM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jNjhk/YTVkYzdlYjI3NTkx/MTBjYWZiZjRiMjdh/YzQyZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
