Insight with Mark Farrell

CEO’S STRIVE FOR EMOTIONAL HEALTH TRICKLE DOWN, DICK HOYT FAR SURPASSES HERCULES & TOY CO. FOUNDER CREATES MENTAL HEALTH COMMUNITY          

Stephen Jurgella is redefining the role and path of CEO’s proving that today’s leaders require something just as vital as a business acumen. This is why @stephenjurgella, CEO of @fountainforward Media & Marketing Agency, have created & launched a new program: #SameHere CEO.  CEOs of organizations have the opportunity to transform the social & emotional health, wellness, & productivity of every one of their employees, from the top down.  This is not business as usual because life requires awareness and growth.

Dick Hoyt was a man of steel, a person that didn’t know the meaning of the words stop or surrender.  Mark remembers Dick for far more than the thousands of miles he logged competing in marathons and triathlons for his disabled son Rick.  Dick didn’t raise the bar, he is the bar and every parent should take note of his endless capacity to provide love and inspiration for his son.  Most beautiful!
