This week’s guest is Marco Rosario. Marco is a first-class DJ from Philadelphia with 22 years of experience, an aspiring actor and model with over 50 commercials under his belt, a licensed mental health professional and barber, and what he calls a “smile enabler.”
Marco: At this age, when I was late in the game, I was humble enough to know I'm willing to do this for free. So meeting this person and that person, this person led me to ultimately finding an agent.
Benoit: Do you remember the first few gigs or performance where you just bombed it? I view musical performance similar to stand up comedy, because you have to time the timing. I would love to visit some of the highlighted bombing experience that you have, if any.
Marco: You should dedicate five to ten years refining and honing one profession before you do something else. The reason I'm a mental health professional today is because I was a barber. He says it was a natural transition for him to say, I want to help people.
There's nothing I love more, especially in the barber chair, than men. Men share very special relationships with their barbers, and even among men, if you are a barber cheater, you get shunned. Active listening is not having to respond to everything that they say. Let them get it out.
"I can be afraid of it, which is human nature. I don't know what's to come, or I can be excited for it," he says. You're very fluid with the way you talk about different sections of your identities. All these intersectional identities truly have become part of who you are.
Most of our listeners are in between 23 to 27, that's like the main demographic age wise. Try not or do not compare yourself to anyone. You can reinvent and do more with your life if you want to.
Do you struggle with just doing one thing in life? Have you ever thought being a master of one is boring? Is being a jack of all trades useless in 2022? Can we accomplish everything we want to in life?
This week’s guest is Marco Rosario. Marco is a first-class DJ from Philadelphia with 22 years of experience, an aspiring actor and model with over 50 commercials under his belt, a licensed mental health professional and barber, and what he calls a “smile enabler.”
In the First Avenue DJ Profile review—one of the longest-running and most legendary venues where Prince and Lizzo launched their careers—Marco shared his mission statement, “I don’t want to just throw an event; I want to make a memory.”
Marco and Benoit discuss how to choose joy in our jobs, the non-negotiable of pursuing passions in life despite being scared, why being a jack of all trades is not the same as a master of none, and his incredible story of going viral with 22.8 million views.
Expect to learn from Marco Rosario’s inspiring life journey of going from nearly taking his own life to accomplishing everything he said he would, how he sold out his show at the legendary First Avenue, and tangible ways you can also live out the most fulfilling life no matter the stage in life you are in.
