Alot of value in this video, Thankyou Noah, and Thankyou Mark for sharing your story and wisdom. 😁

Thank you so much😍
Going from a father who would cut a $0.59 hamburger in half to trying things out in life and creating multiple companies and earning millions of dollars in revenue, I am very happy for this man's success.
Sounds too good to be true
He seems very grounded and appreciative of his experiences. 😊
Wow this is amazing.
@robertruschak7083 Tell me your broke without telling me your broke. If you need a job lmk.
This means never quiting.
And after all that success she managed to stay the same lady that she was 5-6-7 years ago. I’m so motivated every time after learning from Miss Emily Capehart! Keep conquering and being true to yourself!
I have got Emily Capehart resume, also part of an audience with her options, a huge economical nerd, these well anticipated results has impacted a lot of exposure for me.
Wow I bet you got yourself some solid portfolio.
How can someone know a professional account manager that is trustworthy, it’s a little hard to find one these days.
Emily Capehart is one of the greatest inside information traders ever.
How should I start investing
Worked for Mark at RVshare, can say he is a genuine person.
Happy to hear he is still killing it!
"Most people think they need to know everything before they do anything, and I think that's totally opposite, you need to know nothing, you just need to do a lot and you'll figure a lot out along the way"
Great interview, I'm taking notes, thank you so much, he seems like a great down to earth guy who cares about his people, his story is truly inspiring.
Elizabeth Holmes did the same thing.
I grew up in mansions as a kid my dad lost everything when I was 16 , he would be worth a good 50 million from the real estate we owned , then I made good money then lost my job and had to sell my real estate I could t rent it out , long story short I lived in a RV at one point to save money , now I live in a beautiful home . Been there done that
Mark was (and is) my first mentor in business, and in many ways, life.
He was my direct manager at RVshare and became a close friend and trusted advisor.
I owe him so much, and I'm so glad to see him finally getting some public recognition for the incredible work he has done in business and in the lives of those he's worked with.
LOVE YOU, MJ!!
Wow that's awesome!
Since you know him personally, can I ask you something?
When he's working, what does it look like? Is he intensely focused every hour of the day? Does he get distracted by crap like social media for example?
@@GoGoGadgetGiveadamn I won't obviously try and speak for MJ, nor do I believe it's my business to share his, but I CAN say this; Mark typically came into the office mid-morning, a huge smile on his face, ready to enjoy working with his crew. We had meetings, collaborations, brainstorms, debates, and more, and then we went our way. He didn't come in every single day, he worked on projects at home, in the office, wherever he felt right, and I can't think of a single time I ever saw him scrolling social media.
In fact, he is so NOT active on social overall, that I was shocked he did this interview, the first (to my knowledge) of this kind he's ever done.
he's focused on his family, his legacy, his friends, and his mission.
He is no saint, (none of us are), but boy is he an inspiration to me, and has been for many years. I became a TRUE entrepreneur thanks to him, no doubt.
Hope this is helpful.
@@GoGoGadgetGiveadamn
My question to you, GoGoGadget, is how much do YOU get distracted by social media?
Do you feel it helps you reach your goals or are you wasting too much precious time on it?
Recently I realized I have too many ADD tendencies and so I’m looking for tools to manage it.
For example when focusing on an important task I silence my phone and leave it out of sight.
I’m not quitting social media but limit it to smaller break times during the day.
I don’t let it impinge upon my work hours.
We must learn to control technology or else it can distract us so much that we keep spinning our wheels and never reach our goals.
🌸
So should we pay more attention to and appreciate those who play mentor and guidance roles in our lives and their contributions to us?
This guy is the coolest person I've ever known - period. He's lived, for the most part, on his terms and learned from his mistakes.
Mark is single handedly one of the smartest entrepreneurs i have ever personally met. Everything he touches turns to gold.
Excuse me, what he is doing?
I mean his job, business … etc
How does he help? He doesn't even read comments
Yes, especially cheating people and selling them placebo pills. That business was "gold".
Mark also has a bunch of ‘failures’ that were lessons along the way. Not everything turned to gold but he worked hard until he struck some veins of gold.
To me it looks like learning the hard lessons and refusing to give up are imperative.
The willingness to always be a student and also to get up whenever we get knocked down are the keys to eventual success.
👍
@@user-ex3mx7hk4lwell stated
He Is Not only successful but he even have a True and clean Heart! I have the most respect for these kind of people.
I don't know who this guy is, but he's pretty cool. Seems genuine
This interview really inspires me as a screenwriter because it shows a man that came from nothing succeed, try MANY new things, fail, get betrayed, succeed again in new arenas, and simply refused to settle for anything but his passion. Success does take patience, failure, grit, and the will to continue trying, learning, pursuing our passions.

Inspiration story
if there was a button or click for the most significant youtube video I have seen, this would be it. The amount of information is worth its weight in gold. Thank you for sharing!
Love this interview. This guy is so real and has a good heart. He really wants to help and he's giving this advice from the heart.
Honestly, I didn’t expect the interview to be this good. It’s the only time I hear someone who speaks without these motivational nonsense and provided actual information.
He is so right about owning your time. I once had a sociology teacher say that wealth is measured by how long you go can go without working and live comfortably. That has always stuck with me. I understand some people just like working and are really rich, but will work until they die. I would rather own my time, as Mark says.
thats why i took a seasonal job, basically can say i have been half retired since im 26 and i live a good life, i may not be rich but i have everything i need and my health is excellent.
Very well worded. This strongly resonates with me. It sounds like you're basically describing financial freedom. I would consider myself wealthy if I never had to work again and had a very modest lifestyle.
This is beyond amazing. Success has no shortcuts, there’re ways to attain it.
The most successful people always seek the knowledge and ideas of financial professionals to help them create wealth and expect to achieve their success without any help.
To create wealth, proficiency is needed. I indulge in special packages with the Ideas of my finance professionaI and so far I’ve attain so much returns (amount is confidentiaI)
It’s amazing to be here, this sort of idea is a rare one. I want to partake in this. can you give more detaiIs.?
IsabeIIe ChIoe Scott is my professionaI, I found her on Bloomberg where she was featured, I looked up her name on the internet. FortunateIy I came across her and reached out to her, you can verify her yourself.
I got her page immediately I researched, I read through it and seems pretty interesting, I just reached out to her
These interviews are so amazing. Thank you Noah!
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see as a glance of wealth, a great career, and purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who is reading this will be successful in life,.,.,.,
I’m celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today. I started this journey with 6k. I have invsted on time and also with the right terms now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me
Wow, this is really amazing. How do you come about it

You’re right but a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance
I love how this guy can actually hear his conscious. That’s hard for a lot of people who are trying to make money/make their way in the world.
yah done that just keep on trying then you will hit one good business and scale it find investor or loan
It's probably just a type-o but you mean conscience. I totally agree. I'm shocked by how many people lack a conscience. Consider his business partner and friend who betrayed him for money.
Alot of it came from his roots too, so I'll have to thank that
Family and friends can become jealous rather than supportive and feel some righteous ownership over your wealth or success. So sad I am sorry you had to go through that. It’s a killer pain in the heart when your closet people back stab ya. Good for you for bouncing back!
I just love this guy's authenticity and energy! What a motivation!
authentically scamming people and spamming affiliate links
Love the honesty and humility. Great interview.
Well done Noah! Great interviewee selection. Couldn’t stop watching . Marks humility is amazing and inspiring..
Noah, I really enjoy your content. It's definitely motivating to see the successful stories that you share out here.
Another great interview, thank you for sharing these... Both insightful and inspiring, Noah!
Inspiring. He's not only down to earth, he has great character. Thank you for sharing.
Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing your video and for him to sharing his experience. What a nice person! I can see how hard he worked to get there though
This is the most down to earth person on this channel! Thanks for sharing!
This guy did a great interview. So many great points like at 37:30 where he says success is when you own your time and are free to do what you want. You may have less money than other very rich people but you are fee. I like the last part where he says he wished he had spent more time with his mother before she died. Also, do a business where others have a hard time duplicating yours such as his high end Airbnb’s. His location cannot be duplicated. Thanks for sharing.
The part about being time-rich is the most important take away IMO. So many people want that Lambo lifestyle. Those things could end up owning you. Owning your calendar has so much more value in a finite life.
i'm glad to see such a humble man share with others how money does not bring happiness! not many people understand this!!! btw, this is such a good interview!
This guy is very honest.
Mark is a great dude.
True. @@noahkagan
Love how humble this guy is. Deserves all the success!
Own your time. Great life/business advice. Life is so short. Too many are looking to own stuff to impress others and work way too hard with little free time for maximum $$$. Why? Mark is such a sincere and honest guy. Great video.
Wow! What a content. Thanks for introducing Mark.
Humbled and inspired by this episode. Thank you!
I listened to this interview on one breath. I think it’s the best one out of all I watch so far on your channel. What I like about this man that even though he became successful and rich he remains humble and accessible because he remembers his past. I’ve seen so many people in my life who tasted just a tiny fraction of wealth compared to this man and they became so proud and smart that you can’t even approach them anymore. They make you feel like you’re a second class or even worse. This man is so different.
This is one of the best rich-man interviews I've ever seen. Mark Jenney was very genuine.
Love the real and honest approach! Thanks a lot for sharing.
Wow. I am so impressed. Thank you for sharing your story.
An amazing interview! An amazing guest! We can tell Mark speaks sincerely from the heart. He provided so much value here. For all of us who tend to overthink and never start because we don't feel ready, I think the moral of the story is clear: it doesn't have to be something complicated. There's no need to overthink it; just start with something, anything!
Noah, you are a great interviewer and host. I really appreciate how you let the guest speak without interrupting. Your questions are excellent, and you have a great selection of inspiring people. Keep up the good work! ❤
That was sooo interesting !! Thank you so much Mark for sharing your story with us and Noah to have orchestrated this interview ! :)
please reply
What an interview! So much value dropped here🙌
Man what a good interview, this is actually the first interview I watched from start to end. Great advice.
The interviewer doesn't listen well, nor does he pick up on the most interesting cues and insights from his guest. He reads his questions from notes but not out of listening to what his guest shared right there. Just too often. Like when the guy shared his lowest point about his best friend running off with their money, he showed no empathy, no comment on such a significant experience, and just jumped onto his next point. In being uninteractive and inattentive, he doesn't make the most of the guest and the experience for his audience. He needs to become a better host and interviewer.
I didn't consider this until I read it. It's a good interview overall but definitely could be better considering those things
He did fine. He let the other guy talk more, which is what a good interviewer does.
It’s easy to be an armchair quarterback, but have YOU ever done his job?
I used to be a reporter and I conducted interviews and it’s not as easy as it looks!
Noah did a great job, no one is perfect, and there is so much value provided in this interview that I watched it twice.
He only cares about getting clout to sell his own books and courses
I don't think the guy getting interviewed is not the most easiest person to follow. He's jumping all over the place and it's not easy for someone to interview him
This interview changed my life, im really thankful! God bless you❤🤲🏼
Love his humility and integrity. Super happy for him! Very inspiring.
I became captain of a multimillion dollar private yacht in my 20's after growing up on food stamps. Navigated yachts all over the world. I sell expensive yachts now.
I can totally relate to this guy's desire to climb up and out of his childhood.
Fantastic interview. This guy is the American dream. Congratulations, my man. You did it. 🎉
dang dude, how did you land that? deck hand into knowing someone?
You should get interviewed by this guy. I would like to know more on your story and am sure many more would benefit from hearing your story. God bless you.
@@obama218 maritime schooling probably.
I’m building my from scratch, but people don’t believe in me but I keep going..
Thanks for this. What an amazing story. Mark just has this genuine and humble spirit to him. I found this very inspirational. ~ Kai
What’s interesting is that most millionaires can bring up a rags to riches story no matter what and are great story tellers
This guy is such a good dude man. What an inspiration. Best from Oz mate!
"money doesn't make you happy"
but follows up with "money allows you to do more of what you want to do"
so yes.... money makes you happy.
Mostly yes. But the opposite is what is true -- poverty makes you unhappy.
Money dosent buy you happy, but it puts a huge down payment on it.
That's so heartbreaking about the best friend who took off with his money and left the country.
I love Mark's modesty and emotional intelligence.
Great interview. I've been struggling to articulate what I really want out of building a business and Mark nailed it exactly when he said he owns his time. Massive wealth has never been my goal, but owning my time would be priceless to me.
Really enjoyed this session .. one can achieve anything if given 100% or even more with the right attitude to learn and grow and with humility .. great one!
This was truly one of the best podcasts I’ve listened too. Advice from a old school Entrepreneur who has been through the mud. I have so much respect for people like him 🙏🏼
The best interview yet.. very inspiring story.. and great advice.
Love your content! It takes a courage to ask these types of questions, from success people.
Perfect timing for me! So insightful
This was interesting. Great interview!
Omg what a great story! Very inspirational and real. The part of his mom made me realize how very important it is to be in the present and enjoy every possible moment with loved ones. I can relate with an elder mom, and looking to dive into business while being a father of three kids, it’s daunting. But this story, his tips, what he shared is awesome! Great job on putting together this content!
I absolutely 💗 Mark Jenny’s mindset! 💯%
Thank you for this interview, I got so much value to incorporate with my approach on building my own business
Good job, Noah. All your interviews are inspiring learning experiences. I can relate to Mark's path of persistence, humility, getting advice, then sharing advice. Keep it up, PLEASE. 😅❤
Great interview and story!
The honesty from him is refreshing ❤
I really appreciate this interview. I listen to a lot of interviews like this and this guy is the most relateable to me -so helpful. Thank you 🙏
This was a great video and loved his rags to riches story! Such good advice about perseverance, innovation, and hard-work! 💪🏽
hardwork yes
Noah this was a very encouraging interview. He was so honest and real about what it took to building a company.
Thanks so much Yael. Mark has an inspiring story 🙌
Does mark have any marketing services
This has to be the best video i have watched in ur channel. This really connects to me spiritually. A great interview 👌
So much value, Thank you Noah. I got your book as support. :)
amazing interview.. thank you
What a dude! Pure inspiration!
Such a great episode! Way to go Noah!
This was epic! What a cool dude. Thanks for this!
- Learn how to code
- Launch businesses for 10 years until something sticks
An honest wealthy businessman is usually a paradox. But this man of integrity has managed it effortlessly. Truly inspiring and an example to all the other greedy, cut throat, cheating business owners that they can be wealthy and honest.
Didn't he literally say that's how he got most of his money in the start, and used the money to more honest business after it ate him up? Sort of sends the wrong message still.
Thanks Mark for sharing, building a great life of freedom, wealth of me and my family, stay blessed and let's go! 💪💪💪💪💪💪
this man looks so humble and so real. I m listening to him 2nd time and will repeat 100 times to get what he says
I'm not as wealthy as this guy. I can't say I've ever hurt for money and I think I probably have his level of happiness. But my getting started story is crazy similar to this guys, from how he first witnessed happiness as a kid, up until the point where his website builder took off. Stupid me, I was building custom CMS applications probably around that same time, and this guy realized he could just fake one, and made way more money.
@@money--ytyou are not Noah’s account
This happened to me as well had some ideas that others did a bit different and took off I am finally doing my first $1 million this year I wished it happened sooner but never give up
Yeah it was the hosting he earned through right? As he gave the site for free? The site then being a way to channel customers. As they already have to pay for hosting, so it becomes a free service to the customer. Did I get that right?
@@jasonmoroney7962the website back then was usually a landing page or something that wouldnt need daily updates that he gave for free. The hosting was residual income plus sign up bonuses
I think this was by far the best interview you did. It may also be one of the bests that were ever done.
Nice interview. Hard and smart work at early age pays off.
His story is so inspiring. I would watch this video a million times. Really resonated with me.
He is so natural, no arrogance , he just said it like it was.Great guy!
He likes to sleep well at night- Integrity is EVERYTHING 😊
Great interview! Thank you! 🙏
I would give anything to have a 60 minute sit down mentoring session with this guy!! He seems so down to earth and relatable. And he's has success in so many different ventures which is awesome. I just need some guidance on where to focus my time & money as someone who wants to be an entrepreneur but has no experience. I make a decent yearly wage but my dreams are much bigger. 😊🌸 Much continued success to you. 🙏🏽
There was so much information and depth in this interview. Thank you both for sharing this
I love this guy!! So humble and doesnt spotlight his failures but instead focuses on how to succeed and wants others to focus on success too.
Personal success is Not defined by monetary gain
Loved this interview and story.
Such an inspiration. Keep going!
His first website builder website is hilarious 😂 he did that himself wow! I LOVE THIS GUY! He is absolutely the type of person you want to surround yourself with but that are unfortunately very rare to come across in life. So when you do, recognize it and show them the appreciation and respect they deserve. Its likely they don’t receive it as often as they should either!
For such a poor kid he seemed to know so much about business you would think he went to the best business schools. What a story I am amazed at how he could have learned so much about business. I am happy for you and to your continued success.
clearly the whole story is not told here..
This story is really compelling and interesting to hear. Great guest.
I love that list! Thank you
This has been my favorite episode in this series. This guy comes across as very authentic, humble, and kind. I mean, walking away from $300K / month because he was morally opposed? Good stuff.
Most likely he walked away with several million already in the bank from that income
@@jmm1817 so what you're saying is that you would've returned all of your earnings if you were in his shoes?
@@HectorAgostoOne nope that's not what I'm saying at all just stating a probable fact
@@HectorAgostoOne i would share the earnings rightfully so with the hard workers who made it happen. End of story, no one is worth millions without the hard work of others.
This man is the definition execution and never giving up. It’s so inspiring to see how many business and ideas he ran with until he figured it out
Another amazing story, thank you 🙌
That was great Noah. Thanks.
