What does it look like when business growth is rooted in service first?
In this episode of Heart of the Hustle, I sit down with Mark Neace, a business leader who has built his life and career around the principles of servant leadership—and now helps companies harness the power of video marketing to connect more authentically.
We explore:
Why servant leadership creates stronger teams and loyal customers
Lessons from scouting and Rotary that shape his approach to business
The “People, Planet, Profit” model for sustainable growth
Why video is the next best thing to being face-to-face in today’s digital world
✨ If you’ve ever wondered how to align service, success, and storytelling, this conversation is filled with wisdom you can apply right away.
