What happens when you spend nearly three decades ignoring the pull of entrepreneurship? In this episode of UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders, Dr. Troy Hall and Ben-Jamin Toy chat with Yusef Marshall, a leader, coach, musician, author, and man of deep faith, who opens up about his biggest UH-OH — resisting the call to build something of his own.
Yusef reveals how chasing stability cost him relationships, health, and nearly his marriage. He shares the breaking point that came during COVID, when a cardboard box showed up at his job, and how that moment finally pushed him to choose purpose over comfort.
Through humor, honesty, and storytelling, Yusef talks about the danger of living someone else’s version of success, why identity must be separate from titles, and what it takes to rebuild yourself after years of delay.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a role that doesn’t fit, this episode is a wake-up call: don’t go to the grave with your music still in you.
