What does it take to leave a high-powered corporate career and find true fulfillment as an entrepreneur? Mark Stern, CEO of Custom Box Agency, candidly shares his transformative journey from corporate life at Deloitte to building a thriving business that supports 30 team members.

His story is a testament to the power of setting ambitious goals and embracing challenges to foster personal growth and build confidence.
Join us on an inspiring exploration of how setting ambitious goals, like monthly 5K runs and tackling a Spartan race, can lead to transformative personal and professional growth. We discuss how the gamified experience of these challenges helped Mark shift from self-doubt to confidence, ultimately leading to the completion of an empowering half marathon mud run. Mark's story highlights the importance of having others hold a bigger vision for us, inspiring similar transformative experiences in both business and personal life. Discover how focusing on impact over financial gain and creating meaningful customer journeys can drive real transformation and results.
We also uncover the secrets of niching down and trusting intuition in business decision-making. Mark shares valuable insights on prioritizing his custom box business over other ventures, listening to gut feelings, and navigating challenging situations by focusing efforts on a niche. Emphasizing a growth mindset, he reveals how obstacles become opportunities for learning, and how the law of reciprocity can foster a supportive network that facilitates mutual success. Learn how making it easier for others to help us succeed can enhance both personal and professional journeys.
