Hey there,

I'm a brand strategist, podcast host, and the founder of a growth agency.

My goal is to help those of us who have something to prove show the world, and ourselves, that we have what it takes to make it happen.

Welcome to the #ChunkToHunkChallenge

I'm Mark Drager, the host of the We Do Hard Things Podcast.

And at 38 with no real-experience, I'm going to prove to myself that I do hard things by whipping myself into shape.

All with the goal of getting 6-pack abs.

Now is not the

time to play small.

"How badly do you want it?" That's the question that runs through my mind every time I question whether I've got what it takes.  Every time I doubt myself.  Every time I think it shouldn't be this hard.

But what I've learned over the decade-plus of working with thousands of people, people just like you is that you can't take a break from what you have to do to get to where you need to be. 

​

Setting big goals, scarry goals, the type of goals where in the back of your mind you tell yourself you couldn't possibly hit them - just know they are possible.

Because you can do anything, literally ANYTHING, if you want it bad enough. If you become obsessive. If you put in the hard work. And if you just think big, be bold, and say yes.

THINK BIG

BE BOLD

SAY YES

Here's what I know, when things get tough, when things get hard, when you're not sure you can make your dreams and your plans and all of your ambitions happen - you need to follow 3 simple steps.

You need to think big.  So big that it scares you.  So big that you're afraid to share your ideas with anyone because you're terrified they're going to laugh in your face.

Then, you then need to be bold.  The type of bold that reveals the real you.  The type of bold that gives you the courage to make anything you focus on happen.

And then, you just need to say yes.  Give yourself permission to chase your dreams down.  Give yourself permission to try and to succeed or to fail.

Say yes to the big-thinking.

Say yes to the bold-acting.

Say yes to the crazy-gonna-make-it-happen you.

That's my version of an #Extraordinary life.

Let's connect.

It's where I spend most of my time and the best way to reach me.

I keep things focused on leadership, marketing, and sales.

YouTube is home to my longer-from content.
