The Mark Drager Show

On today's show, I talk to the New York Times bestselling author, Oscar-nominated documentarian, and front-line war journalist, Sebastian Junger about freedom - what does it mean, how do we get it, and what's the true cost of being free.

On today's show, how an entrepreneur who failed at a string of businesses… Like I'm talking almost a dozen business failures, went from $400k (four-hundred-thousand dollars) in debt to today, being on track to generate 9-figures. And the lessons he learned becoming a world-class pianist. That's pianist… not what you might be thinking.

On today's show, I talk creativity with the godmother of creative structures, writer, author, and the creator of the Artist Way, Julia Cameron.

Are you better off today than you were this time last year? I hope so. But if your answer is anything other than a resounding yes, I hope this message and the lessons I've recently learned will help you make 2022 your best year yet. Over the course of 2021, I worked hard to reprogram my thinking - from anxious and depressed to hopeful and hardworking. And these 5 books unlocked many of the things that were blocking my progress, success, and happiness. Now, I'm bolder, happier, and working hard than I have in years.

Let's make next year the greatest year of our lives. Mark Think Big. Be Bold. Say Yes.
