If you saw Mark Schols as a kid, you would never have predicted that he'd grow up to be a multi-millionaire and the kind of personal and business mentor you'd want your own kid to have. Instead, you might have predicted he'd be lucky to live past the age of twenty.

Mark Schols is Kelly's (slightly) older brother. They have a lot in common.

 As kids they were rebellious, unstudious, thrill-seekers. As teens they added on girl-chasing and alcohol addiction.  But in their mid-twenties, both gave up alcohol and redirected their purpose and passions to pursue successful business careers.

 Today they are both philosophers, mentors, fathers, best friends, and success stories.

 Episode 2 of 3: Mark reveals how he was able to be fully present for Kelly when he lost his wife Heather unexpectedly, in spite of going through a difficult divorce himself. He also talks about the loss of his father and what he learned about love.

Together they’ll give you a bottom-line perspective on what it takes to, as Jason puts it, “Turn stream-of-consciousness spaghetti into literary lasagna.”

Jason Liller has worked with hundreds of authors around the globe ranging from promising first-time writers to well-known bestselling authors. He has worked with New York Times bestselling authors like Ken Blanchard, Bob Burg, Mark Sanborn, and Jim Stovall, and he’s turned first-draft manuscripts into fully realized books that have sold hundreds of thousands of copies; one was even adapted into a major motion picture.
