Mark Steiner is the CEO and co-founder of GigSalad — one of the largest event and entertainment marketplaces in the country. But this conversation became so much more than business. We talk about:
• Building GigSalad from scratch with no investors
• Entrepreneurship and slow sustainable growth
• ADHD as a superpower
• Adoption, identity, and finding his biological family
• Church culture, faith, and personal healing
• Leadership, emotional intelligence, and creating healthy company culture
This episode goes from startup lessons to deeply personal reflections on purpose, rejection, success, and what it really means to live a meaningful life. Mark’s story is honest, thoughtful, funny, and surprisingly emotional.
