48. Mark Lack - How to Shorten the Gap

In this episode, Mark discusses the mindset transformation that allowed him to shorten the gap of where he was and where he wanted to be! He talks about using your time effectively in order to be more productive with results.

Mark Lack went from being a shy introverted kid who was bullied in school to a self-made millionaire entrepreneur all while in his 20s. Unfortunately, with the change in economy it forced him to rethink his life and the direction he was going. Since then he has gone on to achieve some amazing results such as becoming a best-selling author, international speaker, Entrepreneur’s top rated personal branding expert, and host of the largest business show in America called Business Rockstars.


Mark tells listeners: “I got fed up with the life that I was dealing with versus the life that I could have and I started reading books to bridge the gap or shorten the gap to where I wanted to be and what I said I wanted and I realized, no matter what I did I would never have what I want.”


In this episode, you will learn:

  • That having good mentors will make an immense impact on your life 
  • The difference between being productive and achieving results
  • You attract what you ARE not what you want 
  • The importance of a perspective shift

About the Podcast

University of Adversity
Real stories and tools to help you grow through adversity, burnout, and reinvention.
University of Adversity is a show about the moments that change us — especially the ones we didn’t ask for.

I’m Lance Essihos, and I sit down with athletes, bestselling authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, spiritual teachers, and everyday warriors to have real conversations about adversity — the kind that strips away the surface and forces us to face who we really are.

We go deep into the mindset shifts, emotional breakthroughs, and practical tools that helped them rebuild. Not just to survive, but to come back stronger, clearer, and more aligned.

This isn’t motivation.
It’s what happens after the breakdown, when you’re trying to put the pieces back together and make it mean something.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty, burnout, or reinvention — this show is here to walk with you.

We don’t just talk about getting through the hard times.
We talk about who you become because of them.

Lance Essihos

As an experienced veteran with adversity, Lance has faced some of life's most difficult challenges. Grinding his way through the hockey ranks to traveling the world as a bartender. Through his personal battle with drugs and alcohol for well over a decade, the tragic loss of his brother to suicide followed by the great loss of his father to cancer only a year later, Lance realized he had hit rock bottom. In the darkest of days, he made a promise to himself that he would create a new life, one that would make an impact and inspire the masses, leaving the world in a better place than he found it. Lance has made it his mission to facilitate the message of positive change through adversity and encourage people to see the light through the darkness of life's worst moments.
