My entire life, I thought I was going to be a Doctor just like my father.
 
Then in 2017, I realized it wasn't my passion.
 
So, I decided to end my pre-medicine college track.
 
But, before I could, I had to have a plan.
 
My dad grew his medicine practice by building relationships and grow by word of mouth.
 
These same relationships he built were the foundation for me to seek help and learn about other career paths.
 
So, I started calling his network.
 
The second call I made was to his financial planner, Timmy.
 
Timmy taught me that there's 3 things everybody thinks about before they fall asleep.
 
1st: Did I hurt anyone today? If so, you can talk to someone about that.
 
2nd: Am I healthy? If not, you can call your doctor tomorrow - that's my Dad.
 
3rd: Have I made the right financial decisions for my family? That's where I come in.
 
I'm okay with batting 3rd in that lineup.
 
Since that day, I've spent my time simplifying financial decisions for my clients.
 
How I can help you:

➡️Review every year because life happens and things change
➡️Feel confident to make difficult financial decisions
➡️Develop a simple, implementable financial plan
➡️Hold you accountable to your goals

My results:

➡️The best 1st year my agency has ever seen in its 130+ year history
➡️Rookie of the year 2021
➡️New Advisor of the year 2021
➡️Over 100 households (and counting) receiving my help & expertise

My excuses are strong. My coach is stronger.

8 years — same trainer.
Started in person in Miami,
now we train via Zoom.

Four days a week,
camera on,
EXCUSES OFF.

When he says "get under the bar,"
I get under the bar.

Here's the thing:

I'm a fitness coach.
I could easily coach myself.
But I don't.
Could I do this alone? Sure.
Would I? Absolutely not.

Someone watching changes everything.
Accountability isn't helpful—it's the point.
(Bonus: He also nitpicks my technique).

We all know what we should do.
A good coach makes sure we actually do it.

What's one thing you know you should do
but won't unless someone's holding you accountable?

I'm Marc Cabrera, a former investment banker. Wall Street taught me the numbers; life taught me what really counts.

Investor, Advisor, Mentor—Follow for real talk on mindset, money, growth, and living fit.

My workouts today look nothing like they did 25 years ago.
And honestly? I’m in way better shape because of it.

At 20, my routine looked like this:
→ Bench press
→ Incline bench
→ Decline bench
→ Dumbbell flies
→ Barbell curls
→ Dumbbell curls
→ Curl bar curls

Yes—basically every possible variation of
“make my chest and biceps pop.”

Today, at 50+, my workouts are way more varied:
→ Hip openers
→ Goblet squats
→ Turkish get-ups
→ Barbell cleans
→ 2k row for time
→ Deficit push-ups
→ And my personal favorite: the deadlift

Two things I never do now?
Bench and biceps.

The difference?
Functionality.

Back then, I left the gym pumped and feeling great.
Today, I often leave questioning my life choices—
and occasionally coughing from how hard
my nervous system just got taxed.

But here’s the truth:

If you want to be fit (and look good),
forget the bench-and-arms obsession.
Work your whole body.
Every single part of it.
______________________
I'm Marc Cabrera, a former investment banker. Wall Street taught me the numbers; life taught me what really counts.

If I had a limited budget and wanted to
level up my life, I’d invest in just two things:

1. My mental health 
2. A mentor or coach

During my first decade on Wall Street,
I quietly battled recurring episodes of depression.
I didn’t even realize that’s what it was—
I just knew I had stretches of low energy,
followed by nights where I couldn’t sleep.

It wasn’t until I picked up a book on depression
that it finally clicked: this might be me.

And honestly:
→ Working 100-hour weeks
→ Neglecting your health
→ Having zero social life...
will push almost anyone in that direction.

So I got help. Counseling changed everything.

And once my mental health leveled out,
I hired a mentor.
No exaggeration—he changed my life too.

How?

He called me out on my BS.
→ Consistently
→Compassionately
→ Relentlessly

Most people won’t do that for you.
It’s “impolite.”
So it's worth hiring someone who will.
But it’s also the fastest path to growth.

So if I only had a few dollars to invest,
they’d go to two people: a counselor and a mentor.

I'm Marc Cabrera, a former investment banker. Wall Street taught me the numbers; life taught me what really counts.

Want to feel more grateful this Thanksgiving?

Compare where you are today to where you were a year ago.

I learned this lesson on the jiu jitsu mats.
On any given day, I could feel great or terrible 
about my progress depending on who I sparred with.
There was always someone who could submit me—always.

One day, I shared this frustration with my professor.

His response changed everything:

"How is your jiu jitsu today compared to one year ago?"

Light bulb moment.
Because the answer was always "better."
Research backs this up.

Comparing yourself now to your past self is far more 
effective for well-being than measuring yourself
against others, whether in your imagination
or on social media.

So, this Thanksgiving, consider:

Are you in a better place:
→ Career-wise?
→ With your important relationships?
→ In your fitness?
→ Financially?

That progress—however small—is worth celebrating.
(Research on gratitude supports this too).

Happy Thanksgiving.

3 things I wish I knew when I started my career
When I graduated college, I had one goal:

A job on Wall Street.

→I didn’t consider alternatives
→ I didn’t think long-term
→ I just wanted to get in finance

And eventually, I landed the job—an entry-level investment banking role.

But soon after, the cracks showed:
→ I had no life outside the office
→ Some of my colleagues were jerks
→ Many of the problems were…mind-numbing

Most career advice focuses on:
→ Getting ahead
→ Moving up the title ladder
→ Earning more

But here are 3 things almost no one talks about—yet they matter far more.

1. The people you work with

This one gets overlooked, but determines a huge portion of your happiness.
Do you like working solo or in tight-knit teams?
Do you crave collaboration or autonomy?
When you work with people whose values and
working styles align with yours, the experience is completely different.
I was lucky to work with people I admired—
but even that wasn’t enough on its own.

2. The type of problems you actually enjoy solving

It’s easy to chase roles based on what you can do.
But that’s not the same as what energizes you.

Ask yourself:
What challenges do I love sinking my teeth into?
Some people thrive in messy project work.
Others love optimizing systems.
Some prefer having a boss. Others don't.
Job satisfaction isn’t about the title—
it’s about the problems you get to solve every day.

3. The lifestyle you want outside of work

Most people plan their career around the job.
Almost no one plans it around the life they want.
Do you want weekends free?
Predictability or flexibility?
Travel or stability?
A high-paying role can look like a win—
until you realize it consumes your entire life.

Why this matters:

For most people with full-time jobs,
the biggest time allocation in your life is:

Work—do the math.
Decades of your life will be shaped by the choices you’re making now.

Career planning isn’t about climbing faster.
It’s about designing a path that actually works for you.

So next time you’re thinking about your next move, ask yourself:
→ What kind of life do I want?
→ What problems excite me?
→ Who do I want to work with?
Your answers might change everything.

Know what I'm really bad at?
Anything new I try.

And that's where the growth is.

7 years ago, my deadlift looked like a
question mark trying to pick up an em-dash.
Today, I'm certified to teach the movement.

In the fitness realm, trying the new, challenging,
or things you don't actually enjoy is where the growth is.

In life, it's no different:
→ The side hustle you're tempted to start? Launch it now
→ That promotion you're nervous about? Apply (or ask) anyway
→ That presentation that terrifies you? Volunteer to give it
→ That person you're nervous about asking out? Ask
→ The rope climb, pull-up or clean you'd love to master? Work on it...deliberately, consistently.

We've normalized the highlight reel—
the polished version where we already know what we're doing.
That's easy to flex (I'm guilty myself).

But we've forgotten to celebrate the messy middle,
where we're terrible at something and showing up anyway.

Your willingness to be bad at something today is
what makes you excellent at it tomorrow.

Why you just bought something you didn't need on Black Friday:

It's not weak willpower.
It's your own psychology being used against you.

Here are the 6 tactics retailers use to hijack your brain:

1. The Scarcity Principle:

"Only 2 left in stock!"
Your rational brain shuts down.
Scarcity makes you panic-buy things you've never wanted before.

2. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out):

Loss aversion is real.
Missing a deal hurts twice as much as
scoring one feels good.
So you buy to avoid the pain.

3. Social Proof:

"17 others are viewing this item."
If hundreds of strangers are doing it,
it must be smart. (Spoiler: it's not.)

4. Reference Price Manipulation:

$299 NOW $199!
Except it was $179 last month.
The inflated "original price" is fake.
The discount? Theater that rivals Netflix.

5. Emotion Over Logic:

Holiday music. Countdown timers. The thrill of "winning."
Retailers engineer dopamine hits that override your prefrontal cortex.

6. The Endowment Effect:

The moment you add it to your cart,
your brain treats it like it's already yours.
Removing it feels like loss—so you don't.

Here’s the punchline:

Roughly 25–30% of everything bought this weekend will be returned.
But the time, stress, and mental clutter? You don’t get any of that back.

A simple hack:
Project yourself to January 18, 2026—the credit-card bill arrives, the holidays are long gone.
Would you still want it?
If not, close the tab and keep your money.

You’re crushing the work week—
but still feel like you can’t quite level up.

One reason?

You might be treating your weekends like you won the game…
instead of treating them like the pre-game for next week’s big match-up.

For years, weekends were my time to unwind:
→ Celebrate the wins
→ Wallow (just a little) in the losses
→ And recover

But my career performance changed permanently
once I reframed the weekend as the "calm before the storm"—
a reset, a mental warm-up, and a strategic look ahead.

Sure, I still did some catch-up work.
But what really made the difference was 
using those quiet hours to think
through the big things coming next.

That shift didn’t just make Mondays easier.
It created a permanent momentum for my career.

I stopped fighting to keep my balance—
and started leaning into my future success.

Start-ups…
I don’t invest in them.

This week I posted about how I don’t invest in start-ups—
so naturally, my DMs filled up with founders looking for capital.

At this point I’m wondering if AI is trolling me with
some kind of “capital hunter” algo.

Is the word "start-up" like one of those
bright orange cones on the highway—
the thing you’re absolutely supposed to avoid
but can’t stop staring at until… thump? Yeah. That.

And then someone demanded to know
how much money I’ve invested in start-ups
and the names of those companies.

Confession: I almost deleted the comment
because, well…focus can be a challenge these days.

But hey—I believe in transparency. Especially online.

So here’s my full start-up investment portfolio:

Marc’s Lemonade Stand — $12
DJ Productions by “The Original MC” — $235

To be fair, I was 12 and 15 when I launched those ventures,
and both turned a profit—
something more than 60% of start-ups can't claim.

But if I’m honest, I didn’t have what it takes to scale them.
Like many, I chose college… and then got a job.

So if you DM me about your start-up,
I’ll have to politely pass.
Please don’t take it personally.

The truth?

I’m simply not smart enough to pick the one winner
out of the millions that launch each year.
______________________
I'm Marc Cabrera, a former investment banker. Wall Street taught me the numbers; life taught me what really counts.

How you spend your day is how you spend your life.
Want to change your life?

You have no choice but to change
how you live each day.

Most people wait for motivation to strike:
→ They wait for the "right time" to start that project
→ The perfect moment to launch that business
→ The magical day when they'll finally feel ready

But here's what I've learned:

Motivation doesn't create action—
Action creates motivation.

The person you want to become isn't
built in dramatic moments. They're built in:
→ The 15 minutes before work starts
→ In what you choose to read (or eat) at lunch
→ In whether you scroll or create after dinner

Your future self is watching what you do today.

Every small choice is a vote for who you're becoming:

→ Wake up early or hit snooze = voting for discipline or comfort
→ Read or scroll = voting for growth or distraction
→ Create or consume = voting for contribution or passivity

The compound effect is real.
→ Not glamorous
→ Not Instagram-worthy
→ But real

So ask yourself:
If I lived today on repeat for the next five years,
would I be proud of where I'd end up?

If the answer is no, then today—
→ Not Monday
→ Not January 1st
→ Not "when things calm down"
—is the day to change it.

What's one small thing you're changing about your daily routine?
Drop it in the comments. Let's inspire each other.

What's in YOUR weekend? (Capital One Voice)

Here's a low-hanging fruit opportunity most people miss:

→ 30 minutes of intentional recharge time
can boost your Monday productivity by 12%.
(Harvard Business Review)

But here's the kicker:
→ People who set ONE concrete Saturday goal
are 28% more likely to crush it than those who just wing it.

Your 3-step weekend formula:
→ Pick ONE goal (personal or professional)
→ Block out 30 focused minutes
→ Repeat next weekend

Stop letting your weekends just "happen" to you,
or using them as an excuse to derail your own progress.

What's your ONE thing this weekend?

What can you learn 60 feet below the ocean surface without a scuba tank?
That the basics matter—
Like air.

I learned the same lesson in a college finance class—
though I didn’t recognize it at the time.
I spent semesters wrestling with concepts, like:
→ Weighted average cost of capital, or WACC
→ Risk management with derivatives
→ Capital structure theory

Useful, sure… but not what actually keeps businesses alive.

Then, senior year, a finance professor asked us a simple question:

“What’s the number one reason companies go out of business?”

We all guessed wrong.
The answer: “Lack of revenue.”

→ Not strategy lapses
→ Not complex valuation errors
→ Not macroeconomic shifts

Just… not enough money coming in.

It turns out that whether you’re underwater
without a tank or running a company in the real world,
the principle holds.
If you ignore the basics,
nothing else matters.
→ Air
→ Revenue
The fundamentals that keep the whole system alive.
That keep you alive.
Everything else is strategy—important, but secondary.
