My chat w/ SOLEDAD O’BRIEN for #Persistence360 is pure inspiration! O’Brien defines persistence as NOT GIVING UP. Starting out as a reporter she wasn’t comfortable on live camera. O’Brien struggled live on air for months. How did Soledad O’Brien go from struggling on live TV to an EMMY award winner journalist? Listen now!

Seriously why go to Zuma Beach when you have the West Side Highway? #TaxiTanning #nyc #zuma #westsidehighway #taxi #zumabeach
Rehearsing for a new musical written by my wife titled, “Mark, Please Stop Embarrassing Me!” #broadwaydreams #scottrudinproducer #dreamsdocometrue #nyc
Chatting w/ MICHAEL EMERSON (Lost, Person of Interest) for Persistence 360° left me in awe. Emerson in his early 40’s still wasn't able to financially support himself by acting. As I personally struggle to make my own dreams come true, hearing Emerson’s story of working day jobs to becoming a 2-time EMMY Award winner, has given me hope & inspiration. Listen now!

Mayor Charles “Skip” Kauffman of Boonsboro, MD was such a good sport to take me to their lovely park & get on the teeter totter. I might even have a video of us going down a slide somewhere. What other things did I convince US Mayors to do? Other then the 95 keys to the city I somehow talked them into giving me I might have gotten them to let me swim in their fountain, shave their mustache of 15 years, and hand out 100 burritos around town.
I’ve never been so excited to share a project. For the last 6 months I’ve been recording episodes of my new podcast, Persistence 360°. Each episode I interview a top achiever about how they went through huge roadblocks using persistence to reach their goal/dream. A lot of times we don’t hear the struggles that come with these success stories. I’ve walked away from these interviews incredibly inspired with greater determination to keep going as well as practical tips to help me get to the next level of my own personal dreams and goals. I believe the same could happen for you! Please SUBSCRIBE & leave a review. Link bio. Your support means more then you could ever imagine. Thanks! #podcast #persistence #success #motivation #perseverance #makeithappen #yougotthis #goals #dreams #selfimprovement

Do you think my new living room addition is too flashy?
What did you collect as a kid? Turns out the baseball cards I collected were not a good investment. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Little known fact: growing up in Arlington Heights, IL until 4th grade I was a huge Cubs fan. #baseballcards #topps #parentsbasement
Someone suggested I do a video finding all the pay phones in NYC that still work. (I’d rather visit every pizza spot). Any other challenges you’d want me to do? #payphone #pizza #nyc #markmalkoffchallenge
