Team’s Pick: From Gifted to a Gift (Giovanni Marsico)

Making It: How to Be a Successful Online Entrepreneur

The Mirasee FM podcast team chooses their favorite episode of 2024 to close out the year. In this pick, you’ll hear how Giovanni Marsico, bullied and outcast as a kid for being “gifted,” discovered his calling and found solace in superheroes. Without realizing it, this set the stage for a future transformation when he found himself highly successful but unhappy. After a dark period, Giovanni discovered his calling and has never looked back.

Making It explores the lives and stories of entrepreneurs as they share their unique perspectives on their success and the path to making it.

“You are not only the hero of your story or the main character, you're also the script writer and the narrator and the director and the producer and the set designer.” — Giovanni Marsico
