Transforming my life from an overweight, out-of-shape, 385 pound Couch Potato to an Ironman wasn’t easy. It took years of hard work, discipline, and dedication. And on my journey I developed 6 principles, my Building Blocks of Success, that allowed me to change my life and achieve my dream. As a guest speaker at your event, I will share not only my story, but also my Building Blocks of Success, so that your attendees will learn how to apply those principles to any aspect of their lives that they want to change, enabling them to become the person they’ve always dreamed of being.
“A Motivating Opening!”
Mark presented an excellent ethics session as our keynote speaker for the Kentucky Rehabilitation Association’s (KRA) Job Placement & Development (JPD) division’s half-day pre-conference that precedes the KRA Annual Training Conference. KRA-JPD would like to commend Mr. Rucker on providing such a motivating opening to our event for professional development in the vocational rehabilitation counseling field.

“Highly Motivating Presentation!”
As a corporate wellness manager, Mark was recommended as a speaker for our company. The company employed 1100 blue collar worker, secretaries, office workers, and very few fitness enthusiasts.
Wow! How they all related to him. He presented himself as he is – a real person with a story of change that could motivate anyone. From “fat” to Ironman – anyone could relate. His speaking always caters to the audience and he is genuine and sincere.
I would invite him to any event to motivate change, health, and to inspire the workforce – any workforce.

“High Energy, Motivating, and REAL”
Mark was a guest speaker at an associate Lunch & Learn wellness session at AAA in Lexington, Kentucky. His presentation was high energy, motivating and REAL. More than anything, it was relatable for so many people and because of this made a lasting impact on our team. Two years later, there are still associates talking about “The Beast” and his inspirational story. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Mark back again and again! Highly recommended!!!
