Learn Speak Teach Episode #155 with Markus Kaulius.

What does it take to build confidence, wealth, and a bigger life without losing yourself? In this episode, Markus Kaulius shares how he went from a broken home, low self-worth, and getting bullied for being skinny to becoming a confident entrepreneur, investor, and leader. He also breaks down how discipline, consistency, and the right environment can change everything.

Today, we are thrilled to have Markus Kaulius on the show, a serial entrepreneur, impact-driven investor, bestselling author, and founder of Five Talent Capital. Markus has built multiple 8 and 9 figure companies, helped scale one business to $170M in global sales, and now helps others think differently about growth, money, and fulfillment.

In this episode, Markus shares practical lessons on confidence, health, investing, compounding, diversification, and why you should only invest in things you fully understand. He also opens up about faith, impact, and why success without fulfillment is never enough.
