Franzi is someone whose work sits at the powerful intersection of nervous system health, emotional resilience, and embodied leadership. What I admire most about her is the way she weaves personal integrity, deep inquiry, and relational intelligence into every facet of her life — from parenting her three sons to working with founders navigating burnout and stuck emotions.

His accomplishments and demonstrated leadership ability led to his promotion to President in 2017 and expanded COO responsibility in 2018.In January 2020, Mark was appointed as the first CEO in First Command's history without military service experience. His selection was the result of an ethos of service to the military gained during more than a decade immersed in First Command's culture, a deep understanding of the challenges faced by our Nation's military families, and in recognition of the demonstrated leadership skills required to guide the organization in its efforts to make lifelong financial security possible for all military families. On day 70 in his new role, Mark was confronted with a once-in-a-generation crisis as a global pandemic was declared. Under his leadership, First Command rapidly adjusted its operations to continue to help military families pursue financial security amidst a volatile economic landscape in which in-person face-to-face coaching was no longer possible. At the same time, at Mark's direction, First Command immediately made financial relief programs available to clients to bolster their financial outlook during the crisis.To ensure that First Command continually adapts to the needs of military families, Mark and his team regularly meet with clients to seek out their perspectives. During his tenure at First Command, Mark has visited more than 50 military installations in 23 U.S. states and three countries. This personal outreach is supplemented by the First Command Financial Behaviors Index®, a monthly survey that assesses the financial behaviors, intentions and attitudes of career military families. Mark also consults regularly with First Command's Military Advisory Board, a select group of retired senior flag officers and senior enlisted leaders from the Nation's military services. The 10-member board provides Mark and First Command with an independent perspective on issues relevant to First Command's work, as well as advice on how to best serve the interests of military clients.In his role as President/CEO, Mark has spearheaded inclusion initiatives for First Command. Under his leadership, First Command is striving to create a more inclusive culture in which all employees and Advisors feel trusted, valued and empowered. For Mark, advancing equality is not just the right thing to do from a business perspective, but a personal imperative born from a desire for everyone to have the same opportunities he has had in his career. In service of this goal, Mark committed to the CEO ACT!ON pledge for diversity and inclusion in 2020. He also championed the hire of the company's first Diversity & Inclusion Director. In recognition of Mark's leadership during the pandemic and on issues of diversity and inclusion, he was nominated as one of the Dallas Business Journal's Most Inspiring Business Leaders of 2020. Mark was also recognized in 2020 as a member of the Fort Worth 400, an annual list by Fort Worth Inc. magazine of influential community leaders.Mark actively supports several charitable endeavors, including the annual Spirit of Giving campaign by United Way of Tarrant County and the First Command Educational Foundation (FCEF). United Way of Tarrant County is a local charity focused on providing leadership and harnessing resources to solve persistent social challenges, while FCEF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering those who serve our Nation by improving their financial literacy. FCEF accomplishes this goal by offering approximately $130,000 in annual scholarships and financial education to America's military servicemembers, civilian federal employees and their families. In addition to his philanthropic pursuits, Mark is active in LeaderPrime, which fosters connections among Fort Worth business leaders new to the city or to their roles.Mark graduated with high honors from the University of Illinois, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance. He holds Series 7, 8, 23, 63 and 65 securities registrations. He completed the Harvard University Advanced Management Program in 2015.He lives in Fort Worth, Texas along with his wife and five children. On any given day off, you can find him attending one of his children's sports games or cooking family dinners.

The Sports Experience Podcast with Chris Quinn and Dominic DiTolla
Episode 288 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're continuing our block on some of the NFL's best postseason games of all time.In this episode we're discussing the 1999 AFC Wild Card game between the Buffalo Bills and the Tennessee Titans.In a game which featured two of the most physical defenses in the AFC, the Nashville crowd got their money's worth.Tennessee employed a ground and pound offensive strategy with running back Eddie George and a relentless pass rush led by rookie Jevon Kearse to race out to a 12-0 Halftime lead.Buffalo found their offensive stride in the second half with backup quarterback Rob Johnson and eventually took a 13-12 lead in the fourth quarter on the strength of two touchdown drives.Tennessee then converted a go-ahead field goal with 1:48 to go which appeared to have won them the game. Yet after a long kickoff return, Buffalo was able to get Steve Christie into field goal range where he drilled a 41 yard field goal with 20 seconds to go.All seemed lost for Tennessee until a perfectly executed kickoff return which featured a controversial across the field lateral from Frank Wychek to Kevin Dyson allowed Dyson to score the game-winning touchdown with 16 seconds to play!Connect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: @cquinncomedyDominic DiTolla: @ditolladominicProducer: @ty_englestudioInstagram: @thesportsexperiencepodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please help support us @:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast #buffalobills#tennesseetitans
In this episode, I'm speaking with a friend, author, entrepreneur & prolific writer Nat Eliason.The timing of this conversation was interesting as we recorded it shortly before the US elections, after which the crypto markets shot back into the mainstream. You'll hear about the intense emotional rollercoaster he went through, losing millions of dollars in a very short period of time — how it felt to write about this — what he's learned about cultivating creative endurance with his writing, as well as his perspective on relaxation versus numbing and how our relationship with work pushes us towards coping mechanisms rather than genuine rest.Official Links

In this Monday Bonus Episode, we speak with Bassist and Multi Instrumentalist, Malcolm Bruce. Bruce is the son of the legendary Jack Bruce, and together with Kofi Baker (Ginger Baker's son), they have formed Sons Of Cream to explore the iconic music of their fathers.
In this episode, I'm speaking with Dan Shipper — Dan is a friend, the founder of Every, and someone who I consider to be a philosopher founder.This conversation didn't go the direction that I thought it would, I had prepared questions exploring the future of AI and technology, but I'm glad we listened to the thread that was most alive — which ended up being exploring Dan's personal journey with OCD and recent deep dive into Jungian archetypal perspectives — and living on the borders of things — the Twilight Zone that he poetically described. Dan did manage to save me towards the end and loop the conversation back towards AI with a super interesting thesis around how it might allow us to make our intuitions more visible and reproducible in the world.Official Links

In this episode, I'm speaking with Marc Champagne — who after building a journaling app that reached nearly 90 million users and then having to shut it down, emerged with profound insights about the power of transformative questions and the Socratic Method.In this conversation, we explored:❓ What it means to ask better quality questions, some of the specific questions that have altered the trajectory of Marc's life — like “How can I be the most curious person in the room?” or “Whom haven't I thanked lately?”
Fred Block, Research Professor of Sociology at UC Davis, joins Rob Johnson to discuss his latest book, The Habitation Society, which explores the need to move beyond industrial-era economic models to create an economy that prioritizes community well-being. Block critiques how economic policies have fueled inequality and stagnation while offering solutions—such as restructuring public finance—to foster prosperity for all.
In this episode, I'm speaking with Tom Morgan — who after 15 years on Wall Street and experiencing what he describes as a "hellish midlife transition" (which is putting it mildly) has emerged with profound insights about human development and — especially relevant for this podcast – the nature of curiosity itself.In this conversation, we explored:
I'm speaking with theoretical neuroscientist Michael Edward Johnson — who, after spending seven years researching consciousness and writing the book Principia Qualia, has developed a revolutionary theory that could fundamentally change how we understand trauma, meditation, and human wellbeing. Mike's theory of ‘latches' — what he calls vasocumputation — may provide a testable and concrete biological mechanism for how trauma gets stored in the body, and how to release it effectively.This sounds nerdy and abstract, but it's my belief that if his claims can be tested and validated — it would revolutionize the medical system and allow somatic modalities or MDMA-assisted therapy to be compared and tested side-by-side in their efficacy and we could harness the scientific method for ways to release trauma.Official Links
