On this week's show, we are exploring what lessons can be learned since the dust has settled from the slap seen around the world. I'm not going  into great detail of my overall opinion, but I am speaking pointedly about the results since. I know you are probably tired of talking about it, but give me a few minutes to make sure you get the lesson at hand. Support the show (http://www.hardknoxpodcast.com/coaching)

On this week's show, we are talking about something that everyone has. A REPUTATION! This is the conclusion that other people have come to about you based on your interactions or how you present yourself in the marketplace. In order to build, solidify and protect your reputation there are few things you should consider and a few things you can do right now! However, first you must ask yourself the all important question; What is my Reputation?Support the show

On this week's show, who needs a "pick-me-up"? It's easy for us to sometimes slip into a rut and wonder if what we are currently doing is what we are suppose to be doing. I can tell you from experience that it probably is! Why you ask? Because you haven't conquered it yet. Because you have not been in position to be the best at it yet. Because you have not given it your all yet. Because you keep quitting before you even try! The two questions I want you to answer for this week are below. Run fast, Run hard and Run YOUR Race!1. What keeps you up at night?2. What gets you out of bed in the morning?Support the show

On this weeks show we are talking about two important facts in business. The first, “to build something for generations, that something must be bigger than one person!” The second, “it takes a village to raise a business.” Both of these topics have one theme in common… they focus on inviting others into your space to add value and help you grow your situation. We have to stop the “lone wolf” approach. We have to stop thinking it's a badge of honor to build everything by yourself all the time. In this season, I encourage you to reach out to others and see where you can add value. Help someone build something that will last generations. Be gracious and share your talents! Support the show

On this week's show, I am going to give you some life updates and explain why and how "counting your blessings" puts you in a positive state of mind. I leverage this positivity to change the dynamics of every meeting, Zoom call, and consult I'm apart of. The other people participating can't help but to smile when they see how AUTHENTICALLY happy you are! This was a transparent exercise that unfolded during the course of the show. I challenge each of you to "count your blessings", change your focus, shift your perspective, and adjust your attitude. The goal is to get you to approach every personal and professional situation with the "glass half full" mentality. Support the show (http://www.hardknoxpodcast.com/coaching)

On this weeks show, we are having a conversation with our resident Economist, Mr. Ean Johnson. With everything happening in the world right now, we wanted to get his perspective on where we are, what we should avoid, and what potential moves to make. Listen closely as Ean gives us his data driven outlook on what we should expect next. Remember, just because you may not understand something doesn't mean it's not important. You can't "Grind" you way out of a bad global economic situation. Instead, pay attention and make calculated moves to firm up your position and stack the deck in your favor. Support the show (http://www.hardknoxpodcast.com/coaching)

On this weeks show we are stepping  back into TIME! It's one thing to be busy, but the goal is to be productive. Being busy is ok for a season, but moving into the realm of productively should be the goal. I have 10 tips to help you do just that. I've adopted all of these at different points in my career and have completely changed my mindset on being busy. I no longer claim victory at the end of a task just because I worked hard at it. My goal is to always work smarter and hopefully these strategies will help you do the same. Support the show (http://www.hardknoxpodcast.com/coaching)

I need to be transparent this week. The Bengals took the L and I'm salty. As much as I think about business and how to help all of you be your best at it, in times like this I can't help but to be true to my emotions. Listen as I try to find the silver lining in this situation. Support the show

On this week's show we are discussing another lesson learned from the Cincinnati Bengals run to the Super Bowl. How do you influence and maybe even change the culture of your organization? When the culture is out of whack, the mission won't ever be fulfilled. We've seen the Bengals go on a playoff run and now they are contenders in the Super Bowl. How could a team that before this had not won a playoff game in 31 years achieve this? I'll give you a hit... they changed the culture. Listen closely as I break down the correlation between them and how you can influence culture change within your own organization. Support the show

On this week's show,  we are wrapping up our mini series on "Things I think YOU should Know for 2022".  During show prep this week, I couldn't help but to notice how over the past month our topics have become more and more mainstream. By this point ,I guarantee you have heard the term "NFT" other places outside this show! It's amazing to read and watch how people are taking advantage of early investing opportunities and trying to grasp the overall concepts in real time. I wanted to wrap this week emphasizing the importance of the topics we previously discussed. Remember, just because you don't understand something, does not mean it's not important.  Merry Christmas and enjoy the show. Support the show (http://www.hardknoxpodcast.com/coaching)

On this weeks show, continuing our talk on “Things You should know for 2022”, we are talking NFTs. If you have been on social media in the past few months you have probably noticed the hype around NFTs. Unlike like the Metaverse and Cryptocurrency,  MOST people have no clue what this means. This is exactly why I added it to my list of things you should know. NFT assets are quite possibly the future of investing. If you think you know what an NFT is and have no idea where to start your research, this is the episode for you. If you have never of an NFT and want to make sure you don't miss the bus, this episode is for you as well. Remember, just because you don't understand something, does not mean it's not important.

Our conversation will cover the basics and hopefully you dig deeper on your own to understand if it makes since for you to get involved. Many people have varying opinions. Regardless of your stance, it's important to understand the basic concept.

On this weeks show, we have all heard the phrase, " Jack of All Trades, Master of None". In my opinion we, as a society, should erase this from our memory banks. It's almost 2022, the world is different and times have changed. If you are not a "Jack of at least 4 trades", you will be "a master of being broke"! This concept is turned upside down by this weeks topic. "Never say no, but don't always say yes".  Saying "No" cuts you out of opportunity prematurely, and always saying "Yes" often puts you in uncomfortable situations were your confidence is challenged. What if I told you there was a gray area? An area you can exploit to give yourself the advantage. Listen closely to this episode to find out how!

On this weeks show we are releasing the 100th episode! I think back on how we started and where we are. Over the course of the last 100 consecutive weeks I have learned a few tough lessons and grown my grit in ways I couldn't imagine. The best part of this process has been getting to know the listeners and guest of the show. I would like to thank every single person who has listened to one minute of one episode, every minute minute of every episode and those in-between. Each week before I press record I go though a range of emotions. Is this topic important? Will it resonate? Do people think I'm full of crap? Does my voice sound ok? Is the show too long? Is the show too short? Is it entertaining enough? Do I put people to sleep? Do I know what I'm talking about? Are they sick of my face? Did I do enough prep? Are my jokes corny? Am I qualified? Did I overshare? How high should my download numbers be? Can they hear my kids streaming in the background? Am I embarrassing my family? Will anyone even listen? In spite of this, once I'm “live”, all that goes out the window and Coach Mark holds it down! However, this does not happen without the most important person to the show. Cecilia Knox, is the glue that holds me together and the person that encourages me to unapologetically deliver a fresh episode each week. She engages with every guest and every person who follows us on the socials. Her entrepreneurial journey inspired the show and her dedication and capacity helps keep it going.

On this weeks show, I had to go back to the vault and release an episode that I initially scrapped a few months ago. This is the story of how I became a real estate investor and mindset changes I had to adjust to get me there. I wanted to make sure this information was available for my listeners, but more importantly, my KIDS. One day they will be old enough to hear what their Dad went through and my mindset in the very moment that I started to build generational wealth. The goal of this episode is to be transparent and authentic in my approach to this subject. I don't intend to be discouraging or negative. I want to honestly express my experiences thus far. The good, bad, and ugly of my first deal. Stayed tuned for actual numbers and cash flow results in the coming months.  The number one tool I used in the journey to shift my mindset and execute was this book written by one of best friends, check it out:https://www.amazon.com/Landlording-Stepping-Stone-Financial-Freedom/dp/0578822288Support the show

On this weeks show we are doing a bit of refection. As we quickly approach our 100th episode I think back to #1 and can't believe we are here. Not that I didn't think we would make it this far, but often when we start something new it's hard for us to see into the future on what it could become.  I discuss my real motivation for keeping the show going and why it's important to maintain consistency in process.

More specifically, the reality of starting a project and not having the discipline or consistency to maintain it for any reasonable length of time .

Freedom is the ability to think and act in the mindset of abundance vs the spirit of fear and lack. Remember, desperate people make desperate decisions. Coach Olivia James, Owner of Bodied Boot Camp is all about this freedom. She talks with us about the importance of rest, delegation, and always keeping your eye on the goals you set out. Coach Liv is in prime position for growth, although she has experience success, she is committed to seeing her brand and company as a global force. If you are someone  who really wants to understand the thought process behind what makes a "free entrepreneur" listen closely and prepare to take notes.
