Tiny Planes, 55ft Pole Jumps & Business in Fiji

You’re about to watch an episode of my vlog series called Marie Unplugged. These videos are totally different than my award-winning show MarieTV. If you prefer those, 325+ episodes are waiting for you. Vlogs by nature are raw and off the cuff. So wear headphones if kiddos are around because adult language is likely. Enjoy!

It’s easy to assume that people who regularly appear in public (i.e. make videos, teach courses, write books, act, speak, etc.) are fearless. That somehow they’re always confident and self-assured.Au contraire.

In this episode of Unplugged, I’m taking you to stunning Fiji where I got up close and personal with some of my fears. You see, for the past few years I’ve worked with the talented Shopify team as a mentor for their Build a Business competition.

This year, they upped the stakes and focused on helping established entrepreneurs build even bigger businesses.

I was invited back to mentor winners — eight of the fastest growing businesses on Shopify — at an event in Fiji. Myself along with Tony Robbins, Tim Ferriss, Joe Gebbia of AirBNB, Debbie Sterling and others were there to offer ideas, insight and support. We spent 5 days brainstorming and learning together at Tony’s award-winning Namale Resort.

While I went to Fiji to be a mentor, I left 10x more inspired about the future of our company. (If you’re an MF Insider then you know all about the game-changing lesson we put into practice during last week’s MarieTV shoot.)

Once you’ve had a chance to watch, I’d love to know:

1. What’s the most terrifying thing you’ve done lately?
2. Would you have climbed and jumped off that 55ft pole?

Share as much detail as you can. Thousands of incredible souls come here each week for insight and inspiration, and your story may help someone else have a breakthrough.

Thank you SO very much for being here. Your comments and shares are everything to me.

With so much love,
