What happens when you mix a storyteller, a seller, and a trainer into one? You get the immensely engaging Mark Smyth, a father of three and the found of StoryDynamix. We must give much love to the talented Lauren Jones for making today's episode possible!!! Thank you for introducing us, as we might've just become best friends.
In today's conversation, you will learn about Mark's fascinating family history and how his values shaped his successful career and are now inspiring his own children and family. His charismatic mother, a copywriter, his adventurous older brother, a pilot, and his talented younger brother, a musician, have all played their parts in his intriguing life journey. The Smyth family's respect for military service, humility, and the recurrent theme of treating others with respect have been the strong pillars grounding Mark's life.
As we navigate through this episode, we explore how Mark's values, inherited from his family, influence his relationship with his children. You'll hear about his wife's mantra of 'Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Kind' and their family's philosophy of 'filling up other people's buckets.' It's all about creating a positive ripple effect in the world. We also dissect the power of collaboration and the art of listening and questioning to better understand situations and how to maintain empathy and respect when the waters get rough.
We take a fun turn as we tap into the storytelling side of Mark, discussing how it can be used to foster meaningful connections and relationships. From his favorite Cincinnati quarterback to a song he's secretly enjoying, Mark shares snippets of his personal life. We wrap up with a rapid-fire round, revealing who he'd want to play him in a movie and two words he'd use to describe his wife.
