Elan Marko, Online Coworking Pioneer, Fun Instigator, and Natural Connector

Send us Fan MailElan Marko is the founder of Deep Work Sprints, a virtual coworking world that helps entrepreneurs build a 2hr work day, so they can land more clients and get more work done … all from home!He started his first business when he was 10 years of age and moved on to formal education at the Richard Ivey School of Business. I first met Elan when I was invited to join his session to discuss how coaches, speakers, and leaders could better facilitate groups online. With COVID-19 shut-downs becoming the reality for many of us, successfully moving our workshops, meetings, and connections to virtual platforms was so important. Elan’s facilitation of that meeting was a great example of how he works to provide fun and engaging experiences – even online. By the end of the discussion, we all felt a close connection with him, and each other! Based in Toronto, Elan not only runs Deep Work Sprints, but is on a mission to help entrepreneurs positively impact the world and accomplish their goals faster. His ability to balance having fun and getting things done is contagious! Facts I find fun about Elan are the fact that he has rock-climbed over 400,000 vertical feet, across over 300 cliffs around the world, he created the Flash Mob High-5 Run – randomly high-fiving strangers as you’re running (yes, pre-COVID!), and once asked Heather Reisman, Indigo’s CEO & Chief Booklover – aka. “Heather’s Picks” - what she’d do with 500 extra hours.Even though Elan is getting ready to start an exciting new chapter as a new father, he’s not slowing down and plans to travel and work with the family in their converted sprinter van they built from scratch.  You can find Elan and continue the conversation on LinkedIn or join the Deep Work Sprints community at http://deepworksprints.com    Meaningful connections matter now more than ever!
