One of the most recognized leaders in the real estate industry is our guest today and opens up to share his business, spiritual, and personal journey with our community. Mark Willis talks openly about why he left the corporate world at the peak of his career, what he learned during his “time in the wilderness”, and unpackages the importance of living life experientially, especially in the face of losing a loved one.

In 2015 Mark founded Mark Willis Leadership, a global company that conducts leadership education, consulting, leadership development focused on lifestyle and wellness.
In 2019, he launched The Willis Family Foundation, a non-profit organization in honor of his late wife, Cindy Willis, with the mission of saving lives through Canine Early Cancer Detection programs.
