Marshall Hayes grew up in rural Oregon learning about money from a handwritten ledger his dad kept on a yellow pad. Those early lessons sparked a fascination with investing and entrepreneurship that led him from cleaning bathrooms to building and selling a multimillion dollar marketing agency.
For years, he chased success at all costs. The business grew fast, but behind the scenes, he was burning out, losing his relationship, and unraveling under the weight of anxiety and perfectionism. When everything collapsed, Marshall realized that achievement meant nothing if it came at the expense of peace.
What followed was a rebuild. Today, he helps other founders find confidence, balance, and freedom, without losing themselves in the process.
This episode explores:
- How unprocessed pain can silently power your ambition
- The power of reflection and self awareness
- The value of finding happiness outside of money
- Why future earning potential is the overlooked pillar of wealth
- A new definition of wealth measured in energy, not earnings
