What others are saying about The LIFE WORKS Podcast:

Insightful Conversations – “This conversation was so insightful and so relevant to the type of work I want to continue to do and the type of leadership and cultural change I wish we could all aspire to have in our respective organization. I learn each time I hear one of your podcasts. Peer to peer support is essential to personal growth and whether you are aware of it or not, I appreciate your contributions to my constant thirst for learning.”

Maritza Raimundi-Petroski, Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, Prevention Programs and Community Engagement, The Children’s Home Society of NJ

Visionary and Energetic Host – “I must say when you surround yourself with people who see the “glass is half full”, you naturally look at life through the lens of “anything is possible”. Kudos to visionary and veteran public speaker Mark Botros, a friend and fellow man of God, whom I admire for his hard work and dedication to his family, his values, and principles that have been refined through the crucible of life’s fire. I’m feeding off the energy Mark shared on today’s podcast. #Grateful “

Jeff Frix, Senior Software Sales Executive, Auryc, Inc.

Thought Leaders – “Mark’s guests are thought leaders, and share thought provoking expertise. I always learn something new from Mark’s guests. I love the diversity of timely topics like Lazlo’s predictions about leaving Afghanistan. Mind opening!”

Mary Beth Simon, CEO and Founder, Niche Partners Consulting, LLC

Engaging and Relevant – “The infectious laugh drew me in and the engaging interviews keep me coming back. Mark’s curiosity draws out his guests and brings interesting, sometimes complex topics to life in a way that is easy to understand. His guest, Dr. Michael Hertz shares the secret sauce on how to be interesting…be passionate about something, and it’s more interesting if you don’t agree but can articulate your thoughts in a non-divisive manner. Marti MacEwan shared how to overcome stage fright. Each episode that I have listened to leaves me wanting to learn more. Thanks, Mark, for bring interesting subjects to light!”

Maureen Kures, CEO and Founder, Radiant Mourning
