In this episode, my guest Mark Garza reminds us that honoring someone after loss can look like so many different things. Since the loss of his father, Mark has dedicated his life to shining a light on a critical but often unmet need in everyone’s grief journey - access to quality mental health services. Through his work at the Flatwater Foundation, Mark is carrying on a family legacy of honoring those we’ve lost. This tradition of giving back to the community was started by his father after the loss of Mark’s twin sister during his childhood. In this conversation, Mark is thoughtful, curious, and passionate about ensuring we all find a way to care for our minds and hearts as we face loss. He understands deeply that it starts at home with him.Please visit Patreon.com/gsbpodcast to learn more about becoming a supporter of the show!For more news and insights about this show, follow creator and host Lisa Keefauver @reimagininggrief on Instagram, FB or @ReimagineG on Twitter.

How To Turn Tragedy Into A Million Dollar Opportunity Mark Garza didn’t ask to be the son of a terminal cancer patient. He didn’t ask to have his family rocked by the repercussions. He didn’t ask for the responsibility of bootstrapping a non-profit and raising awareness around the stigma of mental health. But following his father’s diagnosis in 2009, Garza couldn’t ignore the calling to step up, honor his father and continue the family legacy. “My dad didn’t only teach me how to run an organization, he taught me the value of helping others.” Mark said. “He taught me about following your passion, serving a higher purpose and getting rich in the soul, mind and heart. He used to tell me, there are no do-overs in life.” Leaving a successful career as an advertising executive, Garza established Flatwater Foundation. Since its inception, the “Flatwater Family” has raised $3.2 million dollars to pay for over 19,000 hours of therapy, helping caregivers and affected families cope with cancer. In this episode of Voices of Impact, Mark and I discuss how to train the mind to overcome life’s biggest challenges. We talk about building community around a cause, changing lives, scaling a non-profit and staying on mission. And Mark talks about his experience living the proverb: if you want to go fast, go alone but if you want to go far, go together.

Chapter 71: "Keep It In The Family" ...as read by Mark Garza of Embodyment / The Famine / Constant Seas All in all, Mark Garza is happy with how his life has turned out. The drummer best known for his work with The Famine and Embodyment has become a successful business man, has a family submersed in musical talent and is still involved in producing quite a bit of music. In this second half of his story we discuss how record labels are what they are, his current project called Constant Seas and the slightly different goal that they have, music with his family and feeling accomplished with what he has achieved. This is an uplifting story that I hope is enjoyed as much as it is uncomfortable.

Chapter 70: "Our Shit DID stink" ...as read by Mark Garza of Embodyment/ The Famine/ Constant Seas Mark Garza discusses building Dominoes Pizzas, Roger Martinez and being an honest musician in the studio. In the process of this interview Mark feels the need to call some people out which results in this being a long one that gets split into two chapters. We get to the bottom of why Embodyment went through such drastic changes and Mark's troubling position with Kris. Mark explains why he isn't on board with Nick Nowells' beliefs but he respects that Nicks'...beliefs takes....balls.... to say the least. We take a refreshingly real book at the Christian scene and some eye raising contractual obligations. All in all, Mark still respects Living Sacrifice for keeping it real. This was so great and I'm proud to bring it to you, rough edges and all. Whatever. Get over it. "I'll just leave that right there..."
