Olivia Chawick, co-author of 17 RUNS: The Unbeaten Path to Unlock Life's True Potential, joins Mark and asks how far out of your comfort zone are you willing to go to transform?  Olivia Chadwick, a young mother and self-critical personal trainer, first met insurance magnat Garnet Morris at 6 a.m. on a winter morning in Saskatoon, Canada. Chadwick’s task was to help prepare Morris for the grueling, 100-mile Kananaskis relay, but she had reservations—about his “uncoachability” as well as her ability to reach him while juggling her own professional, familial and maternal struggles.  Through mutual hesitations, their seasons-long training schedule led to profound and unexpected conversations. As it turned out, the coach needed coaching on self-esteem and self-forgiveness—as well as someone to believe in her as she rebuilt her own strength. Through their challenging push-pull, they tell a story that’s a testament to the renewing power friendship can have on our lives, businesses and the ability to love.

“Mark invigorated our conference! His genuine enthusiasm and professionalism, combined with an amazing topic, made for a marvelous presentation”

Catharine Leahy - Speakers Chair Princeton University

“Mark’s willingness to use his disability to uplift others is both generous and remarkable.  His message resonates with all of us who have worked hard to overcome life’s adversities.  If you’re looking for a podium speaker, look elsewhere.  Mark stays on the move and keeps the audience engaged.  Thank you, Mark”

Johnny Callebs KAPP Executive Director

“Mark spoke to our high school students, teachers and volunteers and they are clamoring for him to return. Mark tells stories of his failures and triumphs with humor, compassion, unblinking honesty and with an energy that ignites the room leaving us connected to him and feeling a whole lot better about ourselves.  Our time with Mark Farrell was unforgettable and joyful.  This man is a treasure.
