Stop Making Sense
Your Journey is Not Linear
Listeners will walk away inspired by their own story.
Marc draws upon learning from growing up in an emotionally chaotic environment. Marc learned how to adapt, build, and reinvent himself early. Managing undiagnosed—and later diagnosed—ADHD and CPTSD, he turned what once felt like weaknesses into his greatest strengths. Through some soaring successes and devastating failures, hitting rock bottom in 2021 after leading a dream project that ultimately pushed him to rebuild from the ground up. But if there’s one thing Marc knows, every collapse creates the raw material for something even greater.
Adapt.
Grow.
Make a Mess
Create, Destroy, Emerge
Listeners will gain clarity on where and why they are in a creative process. Through the Make a Mess creative framework, Marc challenges the illusion that creativity should be clean and controlled. He teaches that failure isn’t just an obstacle—it’s a requirement.
His structured approach to engineering and learning from failure helps creatives stop overthinking, start experimenting, and take decisive action in their work and lives. By embracing imperfection, destroying what doesn’t serve them, and emerging stronger with each iteration, his clients don’t just create—they evolve.
