There's a level of dedication so deep it breaks into irrationality, and the only word that does it justice is faith. We dig into his book Fear and Trembling (which is actually where the phrase "leap of faith" comes from), the concept of infinite resignation, and what separates a commitment you can explain to someone from one you can't. We talk about why the people who make it in music and entrepreneurship are never the ones sitting around asking if they'll make it. And Mark shares the moment he realized his career had stopped feeling like something he chose and started feeling like something that chose him.
