Learn how identity, thought mastery, and intentional living can unlock your highest potential.

As he overcame the "roadblocks" that were standing in the way, Mark developed a singular passion to help others do the same. Over the course of the past 10 years, Mark has instructed, coached, mentored and led over 500 people in their FREEDOM journey and seen many students overcome the obstacles stopping them from living the life they were created for.
