Courage and Consistency: That’s the Only Game I Play with Marcel Clarke

2 months ago

From cleaning toilets at 2AM to coaching high-level executives, Marcel Clarke shares how chasing success nearly broke him—until he burned it all down to rebuild with purpose. In this raw conversation with Scott Groves, Marcel unpacks the cost of “cosplaying success,” why most men are stuck in roles that don’t serve them, and how courage and consistency became his blueprint for authentic leadership. If you’re succeeding on paper but misaligned in life, this is your wake-up call.
