This is one of the most raw conversations we’ve ever had on the BILD What Matters Podcast.

Mark opens up about losing his father to suicide, watching his mother’s health decline, navigating a brother’s homelessness, and how that pain shaped years of spiralling, addiction, and self-destruction.

He also shares the turning point, the wife who stayed (Josee), the moment he finally chose change, and how business coaching and personal development helped him rebuild from the inside out.

Today, Mark has:

• Lost over 45 pounds
• Quit drinking
• Built a stronger business
• Created more time for his wife and two kids
• Started a men’s mental health group to help other men stop suffering in silence

This episode is real, heavy, and hopeful.
