When they say “Get a J.O.B”

Mark here – with a personal story about NOT giving in. It was at a family event a few years ago. I hadn’t yet landed on my niche and my Mom & Dad could see me struggling. They saw how talented I was – and with my background in branding for huge corporations (like Porsche […]
Mark Calls BS on Personal Development

Mark here to call BS on the big LIE in the personal development space today. You can do yoga, meditate and be grateful all day – but as long as you’re doing it within THIS “mistaken mindset” – you’ll never be free. I struggled years with this. And yes, it’s a bit of a silent […]
I was FROZEN on STAGE

Mark here to help you next time you FREEZE on STAGE. And yes, even though Shannon and I now speak in front of THOUSANDS of people every year – there was a time, only a few years ago… When I FROZE on stage… in front of 100 people. It was a moment of pure, visceral, deep….PAIN. […]
When They Call You a FAKE

Shannon here with a crazy story that just happened at a recent talk we gave on stage. If you’ve seen Mark and I on stage before – yes, we make sure to have a great time. We laugh, we flirt…we rock our talk and the stage. And if you’ve seen us OFF the stage, you […]
I’ll NEVER be a SPEAKER

Mark here with a story I’ve only shared once. And even when I shared it with Shannon that one time, it was hard for me. A few years ago – even after I quit my corporate job in branding and started my own conscious business (before I met Shannon) – I was spinning my […]

I felt so embarrassed….

As a Conscious Business Owners – this might be one of your deeper challenges you’ll need to breakthrough in 2016. Quick story: I remember at one of the first Meetups Mark & I put on. This was already our 4th Meetup and I was hoping to see more butts in seats ;)…. so when I […]
Wet & Wild In BALI!

OMG! You HAVE to check this out. I can’t believe it myself…but…Mark and I just got back from a WET & WILD trip to Thailand and Bali. HOT!!! There was even a morning when Mark and I were on this beach. It was 10am, the sand was white, water clear as the sky and […]
Speaking & broke? So was I…

When we have new clients sign up for Big Impact University they always say, “Wow, how did you master the enrollment conversation so well? You only started 2 years ago!” Mark here – and yes, thankfully Shannon and I started from scratch and within our first 10 months generated over $400,000. But I admit – […]
How Speaking Saved Me From Personal Tragedy

Mark here with a deeply personal story to help you take your message to the next level. This isn’t easy to share on a blog, but I want you to know how far I’ve come thanks to speaking. Before I met Shannon, I was married for 8 years. And about 1 year into my marriage, […]
