"Sometimes the magic is found in the simplicity." - Marcus Sheridan
Since 2001, Marcus has been writing guides for others to learn from. His experience in Chile served as the backdrop of his first book.
He couldn't speak the language of the people. The simplest way to teach them was through his own life.
A Single Line Can Be Enough
Marcus is usually most satisfied by a line that hits the message right. It's short but on point. Nothing beats clarity when it comes to communication.

"I was having more success than others. So, I analyzed why because others were asking me why." - Marcus Sheridan on finding ways to help others
