Vivá La Visionary™ Podcast

Mark Winter has been in PR for 30 years.He started Identity in 1998 with a one-year-old at home, no money in the bank, and his wife's 401k funding the whole thing.The harder story came later. Mark told me he had built something real, 40 people, offices in Michigan and Tampa, a client list most agencies would envy. And he almost broke it by staying too deep inside it. Letting go of the day-to-day wasn't a decision. It was a three-year process that tested his ego, his trust, and his identity.What came out on the other side was a man who finally knew what he was actually good at.We covered in this episode:→ How Mark's "give before you get" philosophy shaped Identity's entire culture from day one→ What it took to step back from running his own company and why it nearly didn't work→ Why vision boards aren't just a motivational tool but a system Marc has used for 15 years to build his life→ How a single EO referral saved his agency during Covid, replacing over $1M in lost revenue in two weeks→ What modern PR actually means, and why human relationships are still the strategy that no AI can replaceThere's a moment in this conversation where Mark says he didn't even know what he was good at until his team told him to stop doing everything else. That part hit me... Most of us are so deep in the work that we never stop to ask what the work is actually for.Mark, thank you for showing up with zero pretense and total honesty. You've built something worth celebrating. And watching you figure out what comes next is the best part of knowing you.*Connect with Mark*https://www.linkedin.com/in/markawinter/https://www.instagram.com/markwinter1998/https://identitypr.com/~~~*Connect with Coach Bob*https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-shenefelthttps://www.instagram.com/imatterrevolutionhttps://www.facebook.com/iMatterRevolutionhttps://x.com/iMatterCoachBob📌 Subscribe for weekly conversations with visionaries, founders, and thought leaders!*Prefer to listen?*Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4iCo6LWV5VJO15Tz9PTIVoApple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1896824840Want to connect with entrepreneurial Visionaries who share your passion for making a real impact?🌐 https://www.imatter.com

Dr. Mark Young has a PhD in psychology and neuroscience, holds a Guinness World Record in pro racing, runs a leading consumer packaged goods agency, and has built over 250 brands.He's a lot of things. But what struck me most was how he got there.Mark grew up in a blue collar town. His dad was a plumber. And if he had told anyone at 18 what his life would eventually look like, he said they'd have either laughed him off or assumed he was on something. He would have probably agreed with them.The shift happened when he stopped asking "why me" and started asking "why not me."That one question changed everything.Here’s what we covered in this episode:→ Why he replaced the word "control" with "influence" and how that changed his business and his racing→ The moment he stopped blaming other people for his failures and what happened next→ How modern medicine treats symptoms while functional medicine hunts for root causes→ Why 80% of all consumer products still sell through brick and mortar, not Amazon→ What AI is going to do to entry-level workers, and who benefitsMark has this way of cutting through the noise that I don't come across that often. He's honest about what things cost, what they take, and what you have to be willing to let go of.Thank you to Mark for sitting down with me and sharing all of it. The racing story alone was worth the whole conversation!*Chapters*0:00 - Introduction: Meet Dr. Mark Young1:09 - Building a Universe That Fits Your Mind2:01 - Free Days, Focus Days, and the Dan Sullivan Framework2:17 - Pro Racing as a Second Career3:04 - Racing as a Metaphor for Business and Life6:01 - Replacing Control With Influence8:31 - Flow State on the Track and in Work12:07 - The 27 Unbreakable Rules: New Book Overview16:41 - Firing Clients and Setting the Floor19:51 - Endurance Racing vs. Playing to Win21:38 - The Three Things Jekyll and Hyde Labs Does23:02 - Health, Longevity, and Advocating for Yourself33:18 - Functional Medicine vs. Treating Symptoms36:14 - Hypnotherapy and How It Actually Works41:49 - AI, Automation, and the Future of Work51:57 - The "Why Not Me" Mindset That Changed Everything59:27 - How to Connect With Dr. Mark Young1:05:32 - Viva La Visionary: Celebrating the Crazy Ones*Connect with Dr. Mark*https://www.linkedin.com/in/markyoungwci/https://jandhlabs.com/~~~*Connect with Coach Bob*https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-shenefelthttps://www.instagram.com/imatterrevolutionhttps://www.facebook.com/iMatterRevolutionhttps://x.com/iMatterCoachBob📌 Subscribe for weekly conversations with visionaries, founders, and thought leaders!*Prefer to listen?*Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4iCo6LWV5VJO15Tz9PTIVoApple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1896824840Want to connect with entrepreneurial Visionaries who share your passion for making a real impact?🌐 https://www.imatter.com

Bob Thomas has been at the Michigan Chamber of Commerce for nearly 30 years. Along the way, Bob had to figure out who he actually was as a leader. He realized he was an Integrator. Good at execution, process, and holding things together. What he didn't expect was to find genuine visionary tendencies underneath all of that. Working inside a framework that gave him permission to think bigger changed the way he showed up, both in business and at home.He built something big. But he had to learn how to let it go.What we talked about in this episode:→ What the Michigan Chamber actually does (and why most people have no idea)→ The 3-3-1 morning practice that keeps Bob focused on what matters most→ Why most leaders resist "letting go of the vine"→ How visionary tendencies and integrator skills can live in the same person→ Why AI is creating more room for humans to do what machines can'tThe big takeaway: vision is something you practice and build a system around. And it starts with getting honest about what matters most to you, beyond the business.Bob, thank you for being so open in this one. Thirty years in a mission is its own kind of vision. I'm grateful you shared it.*Chapters*0:00:00 - Welcome to Vivá La Visionary0:00:22 - Visionary vs. Integrator: Where Bob Lands0:01:44 - How EOS Unlocked Entrepreneurial Thinking Inside a Nonprofit0:03:35 - What the Michigan Chamber of Commerce Actually Does0:07:45 - Not Your Grandfather's Chamber0:17:02 - What Vision Really Means for Leaders0:20:26 - How Many Business Owners Are True Visionaries?0:24:15 - The 3-3-1 Morning Practice0:27:59 - Letting Go of the Vine0:38:24 - Why Bob Has Stayed at the Chamber for 30 Years0:42:05 - The Next Generation, AI, and the Case for Being Human0:52:26 - Spirit, Surrender, and What Really Drives the Work*Connect with Bob Thomas*https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasbob/https://www.michamber.com/~~~*Connect with Coach Bob*https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-shenefelthttps://www.instagram.com/imatterrevolutionhttps://www.facebook.com/iMatterRevolutionhttps://x.com/iMatterCoachBob📌 Subscribe for weekly conversations with visionaries, founders, and thought leaders!*Prefer to listen?*Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4iCo6LWV5VJO15Tz9PTIVoApple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1896824840Want to connect with entrepreneurial Visionaries who share your passion for making a real impact?🌐 https://www.imatter.com
