The Marcus Lemonis Birthday Interview
On your show “The Profit” you offer constructive suggestions and direction to a number of business in all different industries. Do you become an expert on the industry of whatever business that you are investing in first or do you have a natural gift of knowing what works regardless of the type of business?
Across the world, millions of people are part of collective-group hierarchies. Some of which include: religious, governmental, and educational institutions. In these collective-group hierarchies, a majority of the participants follow or adhere to the guidance and ruling of the individual(s) who reside at the top of these hierarchies. Because so many people take on similar roles (subservience, follower, assistant) within these hierarchies for long periods of time, it is natural to assume that this is a big reason why very few individuals don’t go into business for themselves or start companies where they are the top person? Are most people in your opinion conditioned to follow and not lead?
Do you find that people who have higher levels of insecurity, anxiety, or other mental health challenges tend to work harder and are more driven than people who are at peace with themselves?
You once ran for public office. What did that experience teach you? Do you find that people are more willing or less willing to hear the truth of the matter if you are a political leader or a business one?
Of these eight learning styles below, which one are you?
The Linguistic Learner

The Logical or Mathematical Learner
The Interpersonal Learner
The Intrapersonal Learner
What are three books that had the biggest impact on the way you think about life and business?
Who were some of your mentors and how do you honor these mentors in your business ventures?
On “The Profit,” have you ever had a situation where a business you invest in actually does so well that it makes for lackluster TV? A example would be where the people do everything you ask of them, they’re not fighting, they’re not hiding anything from you, and they’re not even arguing with you.
What were two businesses featured on “The Profit” that may not have been the most notorious or famous but, were ones that you felt the best of your entrepreneur and personal acumen were displayed?
I’m the co-founder of a New York based public relations firm. I love providing excellent service to others and I get a “runners high” from it. What types of ventures do you partake in that give you the “runners high”?
Are there any companies that you would refuse to invest in because of a deeply held moral belief?
What was the most painful experience of your life and how did it affect your ambition, creativity, and ability to feel deserving of good things? Are you still transcending this painful experience?
When you meet someone for the first time, what three things that you tend to notice immediately about them and do you know right away if you’re likely do business with them?
How has your Wife Bobbi transformed your life? What aspects of yourself did you not realize existed prior to meeting Bobbi? Is Bobbi the only person in your life whom you can’t say your famous catch phrase “I’m in charge” around?
Do you actively seek truth & wisdom and if so, are you willing to embrace ideas and concepts even if they are a total affront to some of your long held moral & spiritual beliefs?
Have you ever attained a career victory or milestone that actually brought you a considerable amount of psychological pain in the days after?
For a moment, please think about the faith you’ve had in yourself and the faith you’ve had in your spiritual / religious beliefs. Which one of those two have you struggled more often to keep faith in and which one of those two has pulled you out of places of despair more often?
