Episode #959: From Matthew McConaughey to Ray Kroc: Unconventional Books Every Coach Should Read

by | Feb 2, 2026 | Podcasts

Marc shares five recommended books that he read in 2025, and the big takeaways from them!  

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

  • Why waiting for inspiration is killing your coaching business – and what to do instead according to legendary music producer Rick Rubin.
  • The Matthew McConaughey strategy: How cutting two major priorities helped him go from B-level performance in everything to A-level success (and why you’re probably doing too much)
  • Why Ray Kroc didn’t achieve massive success until age 52 – and what that means if you think you’re “too late” to the game!
  • The video game approach to building your coaching business – gamification tactics that actually work, from Nerd Fitness founder Steve Kamb …
  • “Be judged or be ignored” – why haters and trolls might actually be a sign you’re doing something right.
  • Marc’s #1 book recommendation of all time came from a random Facebook post … and it’s one you’ve probably never heard of!
  • Why reading books from completely different industries (like fast food empires) can give you better business ideas than another coaching book …
