In This Episode:  

  • Mark McNally, originally from Belfast, now a local business owner/entreprenuer.
  • Mark's always had a bend toward inventing things. Looking for ways to solve problems and make life easier. 
  • They moved from Belfast to America with two suitcases to fast forward until today he invented his own reusable plastic frame for HVAC filters, now he is a successful business owner.
  • Mark unpacks his story of what it took to completely change his life in a classic American Dream story.
  • We discuss how America has an environment that allows people to move up, start businesses, and take risks that can elevate their standing, where, generally speaking, most other countries don't afford their populations the same opportunities.
  • We discuss the need for business owners/entreprenuers to program time into their days to slow down, disconnect, and create space to be inspired by new ideas.
  • Mark shares the story of the birth of his company, trying to create a reusable plastic filter, the issues with creating something from scratch, and how he built his first prototype out of a pizza box.
  • You can learn more about Mark's filters at FiltersDirectUSA.com and his commercial business at FSImechanical.com
