Manage episode 407294264 series 3559303
We are back this week with another candid convo with John, as he dives deep with our latest guest, Mark Holman. Mark is a seasoned entrepreneur, domain name connoisseur, and a compassionate coach. He is the founder and CEO of Datafied Global and Order Medical Records.com. In this chat, Mark and John pull back the curtain on the quirky contrasts in California culture, from Laguna Beach's relaxed vibe to the charged atmosphere of a Santa Monica protest. The geography lesson doesn't stop there; they trek through the sands of Orange County beaches and debate the shifting landscape between Chicago and West Hollywood. But it's not just a travelog, Mark spills the beans on his leap into entrepreneurship and brushes with high-end vacation spots. They cruise down the Pacific Coast Highway, touch on the luxury of Pelican Hills, and set the scene at the once-iconic Arlington International Racetrack.
Gear up for a mix of speed and giving back, as Mark gets real about his passion for off-road and horse racing, while simultaneously spotlighting his heartfelt venture, Red Shirt Friday. They're all about rallying corporate muscle to support our deployed soldiers, with Mark giving us the low-down on how they're helping veterans get back on their feet. John and Mark aren't shy about their love for flicks either, dishing out recommendations that range from "Hollywood Nights" to "Tombstone." Hang tight as they geek out over domain names, hashing out the ins and outs of ".ai" extensions and branding goldmines, with Mark turning down a whopping $85k offer for a prime domain. They keep it real, with Mark bringing his coaching experiences to the table, reminiscing about his 40-season streak, and a fresh endeavor to support the unsung heroes of high school sports through ratemycoaching.com. The chat takes a serious turn, as John and Mark celebrate the incredible work of Gigi's Playhouse.
But wait, there's more! They don't just talk shop; they bring startup wisdom, accountability secrets, and major kudos to proactive teachers. Mark doles out sage advice, pushing budding entrepreneurs to grab "The Millionaire Fastlane" and runs us through the needs of a growing business. As the mic cools down, John ties it all together, noting his journey of selling his company after a rollercoaster decade, while Mark dishes on the need for rock-solid systems amidst his company's surging growth.
