We are not in control of the hand we are dealt in life. We are, however, in control of what we do with that hand and how we make the most of it to make a life worth living. This week on We Can Be Real I’m joined by Mark “Mayor” Farese sharing his life story and how he cultivated connection and capitalized on every opportunity that came his way. 


In this episode, Mark “MAYOR” and I discuss:

  • How he turned his passion for sneakers into a full-time hustle that opened the door to more opportunities in the online space. 
  • The incredible role models in Mark’s life that had a hand in building him into the person he is today. 
  • How Mark managed to grow and leverage his network without ever using people.
  • How he overcame the circumstances of his upbringing to create a successful and fulfilled life. 
  • Learning and growing from your mistakes.
