“Hey, No Really — How Are You?” | The Extraordinary Story of Malcolm Marzett

Malcolm Marzett grew up in a church in Charleston where “How are you?” never meant “fine.” It meant pause. It meant eye contact. It meant tell me the truth. That early lesson in community shaped everything that followed — from tech summits in Phoenix to advisory calls with global designers and executives. For Malcolm, success has never been about access alone. It’s about how human you stay once you get it. In this conversation, Malcolm shares the moment he realized he had a seat at the table — consulting creative legends he once admired from afar — and the quiet internal shift that came with it. The turning point wasn’t technical expertise. It wasn’t credentials. It was trust. Someone believed in him. And instead of shrinking, he leaned in. “I’m not really processing it,” he says. “I’m just moving forward.” But what makes Malcolm extraordinary isn’t proximity to power. It’s how he handles pressure. Whether supporting a CEO who feels like she’s drowning or mentoring youth behind a live church broadcast, he reminds people: you’re still breathing. You can recover. Mistakes are survivable. Community is built when someone looks at you and says, “No really — how are you?” At its core, this episode is about energy. The energy that comes from being cool under pressure. From staying likable when things are hard. From choosing to be more human in rooms that reward performance. It’s about clarity, confidence, curiosity — and why being a good person to be around might matter more than being the smartest in the room. What You’ll Learn: Why community is the foundation of innovation How trust from others strengthens self-trust The power of asking “No really — how are you?” Why mistakes are fuel, not failure How being likable creates access What it means to “be more human” under pressure Why cool energy can stabilize an entire organization How to triple down on yourself when opportunity appears This conversation matters now because technology is scaling faster than connection. In a world driven by AI, microchips, and billion-dollar factories, Malcolm makes a simple case: humanity is still the competitive advantage.
