The Woman Who Made ‘Figureoutable’ a Philosophy
Marie Forleo was born December 7, 1975 in New Jersey and raised in a modest Italian-American household. She graduated as valedictorian from Seton Hall University with a business finance degree in 1997. Her early career took her from the New York Stock Exchange trading floor to the magazine world at Gourmet and Mademoiselle — before she left corporate life behind. In 2001, she started an online newsletter while bartending and teaching fitness and dance classes, slowly building a coaching business from scratch.
In 2009, she founded Marie Forleo International and launched MarieTV, her award-winning YouTube web series that became one of the most-watched business and personal development shows online. In 2011, she co-created B-School, an online business training program that has since graduated over 80,000 students in 195 countries. Her 2019 book Everything Is Figureoutable hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list — codifying the philosophy she’d been teaching for years: no problem is unsolvable if you’re willing to learn, ask, test, and adjust.
Oprah Winfrey featured Forleo on Super Soul Sunday and named her a thought leader for the next generation. Marie Forleo International has been recognized on the Inc. 500/5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies. Her interviews with Tony Robbins, Brené Brown, and Seth Godin on MarieTV have become some of the most watched conversations in the self-development space. Through it all, her message has stayed consistent: problems are puzzles, not verdicts — and resourcefulness beats perfection every time.
