Live Like a Leader with John Bates

"Because You Can” is the mantra of Paul Gigliotti, President, and Founder of AXIS Lending Academy and PJ Operation, who is known for his ability to take action.

His unique approach can be summed up in just one simple equation - creativity + innovation = success.

Paul is happily married to his husband Aaron and father to his two beautiful children. Paul’s inspiration for his ventures in the mortgage industry stems from his own experience of exclusion from the industry during the early days of his career.

With an extensive background working with various different-sized corporations, Paul has meticulously cultivated talent and streamlined company structure, while consistently encouraging team members and growing revenue. His tenacity and innovative approaches continue to create better communication, culture, and clarity in the teams he builds.

As a champion for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the mortgage lending industry, Paul continues to use his resources to bridge the opportunity and education gaps in the mortgage lending industry.

Mark Lovett's passion is impactful storytelling, from the stage to the boardroom and from universities to prisons. This passion led him to the world of TEDx organizing, and in turn, to storytelling and speaker coaching, which has helped people and organizations tell their stories in a way that impacts the lives of others.

Mark is the founder of Storytelling with Impact, an organization that coaches individuals, teams, and corporations to master the art of storytelling in a way that deeply resonates with their audience.

He was also the organizer and chief architect of TEDxSanDiego, an all-volunteer non-profit organization founded in 2010. Each year bringing dynamic speakers and performers to the stage in the style of the TED Conference. Mark and his team leveraged these performances and talks to inspire and activate the audience, as well as foster new connections within the community and around the world.

In September 2015, Mark had the opportunity to design, organize and execute the first cross-border TEDx event called TEDxMonumento258. Themed “Ideas without borders,” it was a collaboration between TEDxSanDiego and TEDxTijuana. The objective was to highlight the vibrant culture, commerce, and communication between San Diego and Tijuana, despite the political and physical barriers. The event also demonstrated how two cities work through difficulties and challenges, and in doing so, have become a model for people in other parts of the world.

Prior to embarking on his passion for powerful storytelling, Mark spent thirty years in various senior executive positions within the high-tech electronics industry, leading teams across operations, information systems, marketing, and corporate management.

Mark is a faculty member at UCSD Extension, where he teaches a course called Storytelling with Impact, and at The Honor Foundation, where he leads storytelling workshops for Navy SEALs and military special forces who are retiring.
