In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a humble and amazing guy, Mark Haney who shares his entrepreneurial adventure from managing video companies to a huge security company, how he has helped lots of entrepreneurs, talks about Angel Investing, and gives tips on how to create an amazing team and culture within your business, how to take yourself to the next level and achieve your goals and vision, and the things you ‘must-have’ to be successful!
Mark Haney is a serial entrepreneur, an Angel Investor, the Host of The Mark Haney Show, an amazing dad and husband, and Co-Founder of the Haney Business Ventures, a unique platform that includes digital & broadcast media, programs & events, business services, investment, and space, all designed to provide the next generation of entrepreneurs with access to the expertise, connections, and support they need to realize their dreams.
Along with his brother and friends, they started with 12 video stores who know nothing but keeping their harmonious relationships within the company. Mark admitted that he was not a perfect leader but trying to develop a system of leadership, and understand the culture he’s creating within his team. He believes that the right set of stakeholders in your life is a huge hint whether you win or lose. So being united as a team in growing and reaching their visions and goals is an advantage.
Mark is striving hard to grow faster as it will not only create an opportunity for him but for his team. He is obsessed with the process of making people better and building the right team. Therefore, he is currently building a team with entrepreneurs in Sacramento and investing in 37 companies, and looking forward to working with a hundred influential entrepreneurs to be business millionaires.
Just knowing what you want to accomplish is a good start, and hopefully, surround yourself with people that believed in your ‘why’!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
