What does it take to rise from rock bottom to extraordinary success? Mark Silverman knows firsthand. At 27, he was homeless and battling addiction. By his mid-30s, he had built a multimillion-dollar career in tech sales. But success didn’t bring fulfillment—he faced burnout and deep depression in his 40s. Instead of giving up, he transformed his life once again—this time, through leadership, self-mastery, and personal growth.

Today, Mark is a renowned executive coach, speaker, and author of The Rising Leader Handbook, dedicated to helping high achievers become impactful leaders. His story is not just about overcoming adversity—it’s about turning pain into power, and success into significance.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• The moment he realized this fear was actually his biggest strength

The Turning Point That Changed Everything

From High Achiever to Effective Leader
