Customer Reviews
Great inspiring podcast!
I really enjoy this podcast and Mark’s interviewing style. All the episodes have valuable information and the James Altucher episode is especially outstanding. Listen to it again. Really great, keep them coming Mark. Thank you, Don R.

Great show - applies to everyone
I stumbled upon this show and am glad I did. Not only is it interesting to hear people’s stories but every time I listen to an episode I think of a different part of my life where I can apply the suggested tips on persistence. I find it to be meaningful for not just the big things I would like to do but also the day to day. I went to high school with Mark and his brother. I listened to the episode with Soledad O’Brien and I agree with the takeaway that being a nice person gets you way further than it gets credit for. That’s what made me listen to the first episode here and hear what Mark had to say. Good luck with this project. I will continue to listen! #trojanpride.
