After a year of interviewing the top women in business and entrepreneurship, we're officially inviting our first male guest on the Behind Her Empire podcast, Marcus Lemonis. If you tune into today's interview, you'll immediately understand why. Marcus is known for helping struggling businesses get back on their feet by investing his own money on the hit TV show, The Profit. Despite being a household name and TV personality, Marcus' influence is far beyond television. He is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in America, serving as chairman and CEO of the multi-billion dollar company Camping World. Marcus is also one of the biggest champions out there when it comes to small business entrepreneurs, and specifically women entrepreneurs. He's created The Lemon-AID Foundation and seeded it with $50 million of his and his wife's own capital to focus on backing talented founders, especially women and minorities who haven't had equal access to resources and guidance in their careers.Marcus is unapologetically vulnerable, open to sharing all parts of himself, and truly generous in wanting to help others succeed. In today's wide-ranging interview, we talk about how to work through fear of failure & embarrassment, the realities of burnout in entrepreneurship, why he believes women are better business leaders, the importance of embracing your strengths & your flaws to be truly comfortable in your own skin, and so much more.

Too many people remain in the dark— unoptimized, miserable, and in denial because they don’t do the internal work to overcome their demons. Why is swallowing the ego the first step to solving our internal problems? Can we address the lack of strong masculine figures in our society? How is our society rapidly getting weakened? On this episode, Marcus Torgerson is back to talk about the importance of optimization and doing the internal work, as well as the worsening crisis in masculinity. History has shown that the easiest people to collect are the weakest minded. -Marcus Torgerson   Three Takeaways People grow the most in life when they’ve gone through some difficult times. Our bodies are the only vessels we have in this life, and it’s our job to prioritize them. You have to be willing to do the internal work and give up the ego. No amount of money or outward perfection will compensate for that.   At the start of the show Marcus shared how he’s managing after an injury, and he talked about the nightmare of trying to find an optimization doctor. Next, we discussed why optimization is so important and who is to blame for the crisis young men are facing. We also covered: The importance of individual accountability   Why Marcus prioritizes taking care of his body Why gaming is the greatest threat to masculinity When we feel broken or defeated internally, it directly affects our physicality and mentality. No amount of money or looking good on the surface will fulfill us if we don’t really love or trust ourselves. There is a targeted attack aimed at men to make them docile, weak-minded and easy to control. Optimization is our means of fighting back and reclaiming our power.   Guest Bio- Marcus is the Owner and Lead Instructor at IKMF Krav Maga.
