Mark’s TEDx talk, Why We Choose Suicide, is among the most-watched in the world with over 6 million views. His story of searching for “the man in the light brown jacket” who saved his life from a teenage suicide attempt went viral around the world.

The worldwide rights to Mark’s first book have been acquired by HarperCollins.

Change is Inevitable, Growth is Optional

Change is an inevitable part of life, but we have the
choice to grow or stay put. Change can also be something we feel
ambivalent about and that isn’t necessarily a negative thing. It can
evoke joy, anxiety, a sense of loss and a million other things all
wrapped up in one decision.
We look at the beauty of living life facing change in a way that has the
ability to make us better people and live a richer quality of life.

Bringing Goodness in Light of Grief: Lessons from Cole

Melanie Coppola, president of the Live Like Cole Foundation, joins me to look at bringing goodness in light of grief. Melanie’s family created the Live Like Cole Foundation after Nicholas “Cole” lost his life to a drunk driver in Vero Beach, Florida.
Melanie, Cole’s sister, shares her grief journey and how the memory of her brother is strengthened through the decision to create an organization focused on passions that represent what her brother stood for: kindness, community and giving back.
Grief is life long and impacts every person differently. We take a different approach in this week’s episode connecting passion to make a difference in our own community with carrying on the memory of a loved one. It’s an inspiring episode that will encourage and inspire many during this Holiday Season.
