In this episode of The Friday Habit, Mark sits down with Bernie Youngblood—a rule-breaking marketer, connector, and strategist who’s spent his career reshaping industries and helping businesses, nonprofits, and artists thrive.

From a start in finance to building sales and marketing ventures, Bernie has seen firsthand what works (and what doesn’t) in business. He shares lessons from his entrepreneurial journey, the challenges of innovation, and why authenticity—not advertising—is the new currency for brands.

This conversation dives deep into big-picture topics: capitalism, faith, diversity, human trafficking, innovation, and the rise of AI. Bernie also offers practical wisdom for entrepreneurs about branding, building impact, and why moving slower may actually help you accomplish more.

🧠 Takeaways:

-Being good at something doesn’t mean you’ll enjoy it—follow what energizes you.
-Diversity, creativity, and authenticity create stronger businesses than profit-driven spreadsheets.
-Our culture often resists innovation—entrepreneurs must persist despite resistance.
-AI will disrupt every industry, but it also levels the playing field for entrepreneurs.
-Brands today aren’t built—they’re revealed. Authenticity is the new currency.
-Long-term planning and intentional focus allow you to move slower but do more.
-Success isn’t about accumulating marbles—it’s about creating meaningful impact.
