This is your
chance for a personal look at the man the industry can't live
without. In this exclusive one-on-one interview Marvelless Mark
talks about what drives him to do the things he does.
How
did you begin in this Industry?
mm: I began in Fort Lauderdale entertaining for a corporation
when a talent buyer from Chicago discovered me and packaged my performance
in to an early Marvelless Mark interactive show. Then, they networked
me into their contacts consisting of managers and coaches who mentored
my career. It was a success and over the next few years I made my
decision to pursue entertainment. What is a typical day like for you?
mm: Well, I believe and teach a person must be of sound body
and mind. In order to accomplish a healthy lifestyle I begin early
in the morning by eating a healthy breakfast and hitting the gym. If
we have a plane to catch there are final items to be packed, then I
meet with my road crew and we begin our journey. If we are not leaving
for an event I spent the day completing new bits, either finalizing
designs or in rehearsals, talking to clients. (There is a lot of behind-the-
scenes preparation due to the plethora of costumes and props) Once
and a while I spend the day at the beach...but, those are few and far
between.
What is your favorite part of the show?
mm: I would say the beginning, middle and end ... The excitement
of captivating the crowd the moment I take the stage, is only topped
by the adrenaline of the costume changes and props we use throughout
the show. When it is all over and the guests are elated and we have
created an atmosphere of celebration I have the satisfaction of knowing
that I have enhanced their self-esteem and productivity at work. I
think we set the pace for the rest of their convention experience.
I know Corporate America is a group of extremely hard working individuals,
therefore, we enjoy bringing joy to their lives.
What do you think makes Marvelless Mark
productions are so successfull in the corporate arena?
mm: I am always aiming to give our clients more then they expect
---going the extra mile to achieve unprecedented events! I have an
outstanding team of experts who are constantly working on ways to improve
and innovate my performance. With a great team you have to be a success!
But success only comes before work in the dictionary. We are continually
attending conventions and seminars to aquire new concepts and ideas.
By utilizing all our resources, we are able to encompass any situation
or challenge and if we don’t have a solution to a client’s
entertainment needs, we will utilize our network to resolve any issue.
Going the extra mile to achieve “marvelless” events is
what we aim for with each production. We are always evolving for our
clients.
So. We have to ask. Where do you see
yourself in five years?
mm: In five years I see myself still providing exceptional services
to my clients. I am constantly working to be the most innovative performer
in the corporate entertainment arena. I will continue to develop my
general session programs and interactive keynotes so we can exercise
the minds of corporate America to bring exciting entertainment general
sessions to my audiences.
Is there another job you would rather
have at this point in your life?
mm: You have to be kidding; I have the greatest job on earth!
I have truly been blessed to travel the world entertaining.
