Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast, we welcome Mark Chassman. From starting in Hollywood’s talent agencies, to leading broadcast television turnarounds in Alaska to being one of the first 50 employees at Facebook, Mark has spent decades at the intersection of business, leadership, and innovation.
What makes Mark's story so compelling isn’t just his tech startup stories; it’s the shift he made from chasing career success to discovering his true calling of helping people flourish.
Through his work with the Social Leadership Academy, the Emerging Leaders Initiative, and now community transformation projects in Chicago, Mark has devoted his life to guiding leaders toward purpose, calling, and impact.
Join us as we talk about what it really means to flourish, how to navigate seasons of burnout and reinvention, and why servant leadership is the foundation of lasting influence.
