Driven By with Sam Coates

From Greyhounds to Third Street: The Wild Story of Mark Goodfellow


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Mark Goodfellow — a man who’s lived life at full speed and with no filter. We cover from the trailer park in West Memphis to the car lots and the flash people in the city know him for today. Along the way, he talks about gambling, second chances, hard lessons, and big swings. This isn’t a polished story — It’s a conversation about the price of ambition, the impact of choices, and the search for meaning after the dust settles.

Episode Highlights

  • Early Days: Growing up in a trailer, dreaming of a different life, and leaving home at 18.
  • Confidence Since Youth: Calling himself "Mark Rockefeller."
  • The Gamble: A life built on risk — Childhood bets, dog tracks.
  • Starting Small: Launching a car business with four cars, two of which didn’t even run.
  • Legacy and Regret: Honoring his mother, wrestling with selfishness, and figuring out what matters now.
  • Memphis Moments: Viral commercials, front-row Grizzlies seats, and more.
