San Diego-based Vistage Chair Mark Fackler didn’t always see himself as a leader. In fact, for much of his early life, he coasted—doing just enough to get by. That changed one day, mid-career, when a crisis with a client forced him to ask a hard question: Was he willing to keep failing quietly—or finally try his hardest and risk failing loudly? That moment became a turning point. In this episode, Mark reflects on that shift, the long road from entrepreneur to executive coach, and what it means to lead with love, humility, and courage. From launching a tech company to stewarding a decades-old Vistage group (and guiding MBA students at UC San Diego), Mark’s story is one of second chances, big lessons, and giving back.
