In this video, I learn how Mark Jenney went from being homeless, to starting over 30 companies and selling RV Share for $100M. Since then, he’s grown an Airbnb business to $12M+ a year while working only 30 minutes a week.

Alot of value in this video, Thankyou Noah, and Thankyou Mark for sharing your story and wisdom. 😁

Thank you so much😍
This seems like the worst period.
Even the market are now very unpredictable. Started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high,today I am more than 60% down!
There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.
True. Having the right financial planner is invaluable. My portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 90% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, though this could take till Q3 2024.
That's impressive, have you always had guidance?
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financlal future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
This recommendation is coming at the right time because i am literally grasping for straws atm! I verified her online and scheduled a phone call with her.
Going from a father who would cut a $0.59 hamburger in half to trying things out in life and creating multiple companies and earning millions of dollars in revenue, I am very happy for this man's success.
Sounds too good to be true
He seems very grounded and appreciative of his experiences. 😊
Wow this is amazing.
@robertruschak7083 Tell me your broke without telling me your broke. If you need a job lmk.
This means never quiting.
And after all that success she managed to stay the same lady that she was 5-6-7 years ago. I’m so motivated every time after learning from Miss Emily Capehart! Keep conquering and being true to yourself!
I have got Emily Capehart resume, also part of an audience with her options, a huge economical nerd, these well anticipated results has impacted a lot of exposure for me.
Wow I bet you got yourself some solid portfolio.
How can someone know a professional account manager that is trustworthy, it’s a little hard to find one these days.
Emily Capehart is one of the greatest inside information traders ever.
How should I start investing
"Most people think they need to know everything before they do anything, and I think that's totally opposite, you need to know nothing, you just need to do a lot and you'll figure a lot out along the way"
Great interview, I'm taking notes, thank you so much, he seems like a great down to earth guy who cares about his people, his story is truly inspiring.
Elizabeth Holmes did the same thing.
Worked for Mark at RVshare, can say he is a genuine person.
Happy to hear he is still killing it!
Mark was (and is) my first mentor in business, and in many ways, life.
He was my direct manager at RVshare and became a close friend and trusted advisor.
I owe him so much, and I'm so glad to see him finally getting some public recognition for the incredible work he has done in business and in the lives of those he's worked with.
LOVE YOU, MJ!!
Wow that's awesome!
Since you know him personally, can I ask you something?
When he's working, what does it look like? Is he intensely focused every hour of the day? Does he get distracted by crap like social media for example?
@@GoGoGadgetGiveadamn I won't obviously try and speak for MJ, nor do I believe it's my business to share his, but I CAN say this; Mark typically came into the office mid-morning, a huge smile on his face, ready to enjoy working with his crew. We had meetings, collaborations, brainstorms, debates, and more, and then we went our way. He didn't come in every single day, he worked on projects at home, in the office, wherever he felt right, and I can't think of a single time I ever saw him scrolling social media.
In fact, he is so NOT active on social overall, that I was shocked he did this interview, the first (to my knowledge) of this kind he's ever done.
he's focused on his family, his legacy, his friends, and his mission.
He is no saint, (none of us are), but boy is he an inspiration to me, and has been for many years. I became a TRUE entrepreneur thanks to him, no doubt.
Hope this is helpful.
@@GoGoGadgetGiveadamn
My question to you, GoGoGadget, is how much do YOU get distracted by social media?
Do you feel it helps you reach your goals or are you wasting too much precious time on it?
Recently I realized I have too many ADD tendencies and so I’m looking for tools to manage it.
For example when focusing on an important task I silence my phone and leave it out of sight.
I’m not quitting social media but limit it to smaller break times during the day.
I don’t let it impinge upon my work hours.
We must learn to control technology or else it can distract us so much that we keep spinning our wheels and never reach our goals.
🌸
So should we pay more attention to and appreciate those who play mentor and guidance roles in our lives and their contributions to us?
I grew up in mansions as a kid my dad lost everything when I was 16 , he would be worth a good 50 million from the real estate we owned , then I made good money then lost my job and had to sell my real estate I could t rent it out , long story short I lived in a RV at one point to save money , now I live in a beautiful home . Been there done that
This guy is the coolest person I've ever known - period. He's lived, for the most part, on his terms and learned from his mistakes.
I don't know who this guy is, but he's pretty cool. Seems genuine
This is beyond amazing. Success has no shortcuts, there’re ways to attain it.
The most successful people always seek the knowledge and ideas of financial professionals to help them create wealth and expect to achieve their success without any help.
To create wealth, proficiency is needed. I indulge in special packages with the Ideas of my finance professionaI and so far I’ve attain so much returns (amount is confidentiaI)
It’s amazing to be here, this sort of idea is a rare one. I want to partake in this. can you give more detaiIs.?
IsabeIIe ChIoe Scott is my professionaI, I found her on Bloomberg where she was featured, I looked up her name on the internet. FortunateIy I came across her and reached out to her, you can verify her yourself.
I got her page immediately I researched, I read through it and seems pretty interesting, I just reached out to her
Mark is single handedly one of the smartest entrepreneurs i have ever personally met. Everything he touches turns to gold.
Excuse me, what he is doing?
I mean his job, business … etc
How does he help? He doesn't even read comments
Yes, especially cheating people and selling them placebo pills. That business was "gold".
Mark also has a bunch of ‘failures’ that were lessons along the way. Not everything turned to gold but he worked hard until he struck some veins of gold.
To me it looks like learning the hard lessons and refusing to give up are imperative.
The willingness to always be a student and also to get up whenever we get knocked down are the keys to eventual success.
👍
@@user-ex3mx7hk4lwell stated
He Is Not only successful but he even have a True and clean Heart! I have the most respect for these kind of people.
He is so right about owning your time. I once had a sociology teacher say that wealth is measured by how long you go can go without working and live comfortably. That has always stuck with me. I understand some people just like working and are really rich, but will work until they die. I would rather own my time, as Mark says.
thats why i took a seasonal job, basically can say i have been half retired since im 26 and i live a good life, i may not be rich but i have everything i need and my health is excellent.
Very well worded. This strongly resonates with me. It sounds like you're basically describing financial freedom. I would consider myself wealthy if I never had to work again and had a very modest lifestyle.
if there was a button or click for the most significant youtube video I have seen, this would be it. The amount of information is worth its weight in gold. Thank you for sharing!
I just love this guy's authenticity and energy! What a motivation!
authentically scamming people and spamming affiliate links
Honestly, I didn’t expect the interview to be this good. It’s the only time I hear someone who speaks without these motivational nonsense and provided actual information.
The interviewer doesn't listen well, nor does he pick up on the most interesting cues and insights from his guest. He reads his questions from notes but not out of listening to what his guest shared right there. Just too often. Like when the guy shared his lowest point about his best friend running off with their money, he showed no empathy, no comment on such a significant experience, and just jumped onto his next point. In being uninteractive and inattentive, he doesn't make the most of the guest and the experience for his audience. He needs to become a better host and interviewer.
I didn't consider this until I read it. It's a good interview overall but definitely could be better considering those things
He did fine. He let the other guy talk more, which is what a good interviewer does.
It’s easy to be an armchair quarterback, but have YOU ever done his job?
I used to be a reporter and I conducted interviews and it’s not as easy as it looks!
Noah did a great job, no one is perfect, and there is so much value provided in this interview that I watched it twice.
He only cares about getting clout to sell his own books and courses
I don't think the guy getting interviewed is not the most easiest person to follow. He's jumping all over the place and it's not easy for someone to interview him
Inspiring. He's not only down to earth, he has great character. Thank you for sharing.
This interview really inspires me as a screenwriter because it shows a man that came from nothing succeed, try MANY new things, fail, get betrayed, succeed again in new arenas, and simply refused to settle for anything but his passion. Success does take patience, failure, grit, and the will to continue trying, learning, pursuing our passions.

Inspiration story
The part about being time-rich is the most important take away IMO. So many people want that Lambo lifestyle. Those things could end up owning you. Owning your calendar has so much more value in a finite life.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see as a glance of wealth, a great career, and purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who is reading this will be successful in life,.,.,.,
I’m celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today. I started this journey with 6k. I have invsted on time and also with the right terms now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me
Wow, this is really amazing. How do you come about it

An amazing interview! An amazing guest! We can tell Mark speaks sincerely from the heart. He provided so much value here. For all of us who tend to overthink and never start because we don't feel ready, I think the moral of the story is clear: it doesn't have to be something complicated. There's no need to overthink it; just start with something, anything!
Noah, you are a great interviewer and host. I really appreciate how you let the guest speak without interrupting. Your questions are excellent, and you have a great selection of inspiring people. Keep up the good work! ❤
Family and friends can become jealous rather than supportive and feel some righteous ownership over your wealth or success. So sad I am sorry you had to go through that. It’s a killer pain in the heart when your closet people back stab ya. Good for you for bouncing back!
Love this interview. This guy is so real and has a good heart. He really wants to help and he's giving this advice from the heart.
This guy did a great interview. So many great points like at 37:30 where he says success is when you own your time and are free to do what you want. You may have less money than other very rich people but you are fee. I like the last part where he says he wished he had spent more time with his mother before she died. Also, do a business where others have a hard time duplicating yours such as his high end Airbnb’s. His location cannot be duplicated. Thanks for sharing.
This is one of the best rich-man interviews I've ever seen. Mark Jenney was very genuine.
I listened to this interview on one breath. I think it’s the best one out of all I watch so far on your channel. What I like about this man that even though he became successful and rich he remains humble and accessible because he remembers his past. I’ve seen so many people in my life who tasted just a tiny fraction of wealth compared to this man and they became so proud and smart that you can’t even approach them anymore. They make you feel like you’re a second class or even worse. This man is so different.
What’s interesting is that most millionaires can bring up a rags to riches story no matter what and are great story tellers
These interviews are so amazing. Thank you Noah!
I love how this guy can actually hear his conscious. That’s hard for a lot of people who are trying to make money/make their way in the world.
yah done that just keep on trying then you will hit one good business and scale it find investor or loan
It's probably just a type-o but you mean conscience. I totally agree. I'm shocked by how many people lack a conscience. Consider his business partner and friend who betrayed him for money.
Alot of it came from his roots too, so I'll have to thank that
Love the honesty and humility. Great interview.
Man what a good interview, this is actually the first interview I watched from start to end. Great advice.
He likes to sleep well at night- Integrity is EVERYTHING 😊
That's so heartbreaking about the best friend who took off with his money and left the country.
I love Mark's modesty and emotional intelligence.
This is the most down to earth person on this channel! Thanks for sharing!
Well done Noah! Great interviewee selection. Couldn’t stop watching . Marks humility is amazing and inspiring..
Another great interview, thank you for sharing these... Both insightful and inspiring, Noah!
Noah, I really enjoy your content. It's definitely motivating to see the successful stories that you share out here.
Wow! What a content. Thanks for introducing Mark.
I would give anything to have a 60 minute sit down mentoring session with this guy!! He seems so down to earth and relatable. And he's has success in so many different ventures which is awesome. I just need some guidance on where to focus my time & money as someone who wants to be an entrepreneur but has no experience. I make a decent yearly wage but my dreams are much bigger. 😊🌸 Much continued success to you. 🙏🏽
Love how humble this guy is. Deserves all the success!
Own your time. Great life/business advice. Life is so short. Too many are looking to own stuff to impress others and work way too hard with little free time for maximum $$$. Why? Mark is such a sincere and honest guy. Great video.
Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing your video and for him to sharing his experience. What a nice person! I can see how hard he worked to get there though
This was truly one of the best podcasts I’ve listened too. Advice from a old school Entrepreneur who has been through the mud. I have so much respect for people like him 🙏🏼
That was sooo interesting !! Thank you so much Mark for sharing your story with us and Noah to have orchestrated this interview ! :)
please reply
Wow. I am so impressed. Thank you for sharing your story.
With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly-which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfolio.
The market is volatile at this time, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
very true, I started investing before the pandemic and that same year I pulled a profit of about $600k with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was seeking guidance to make a from a financial-advisorr, you can be passively involved with the aid of a professional.
wow ,that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.
My advisor’s name is SUZANNE EVELYN RINELLI. Thank me later.

Noah this was a very encouraging interview. He was so honest and real about what it took to building a company.
Thanks so much Yael. Mark has an inspiring story 🙌
Does mark have any marketing services
Love the real and honest approach! Thanks a lot for sharing.
Great interview. I love the practical tips Mark just shares so freely to increase your chances of success!
i'm glad to see such a humble man share with others how money does not bring happiness! not many people understand this!!! btw, this is such a good interview!
"money doesn't make you happy"
but follows up with "money allows you to do more of what you want to do"
so yes.... money makes you happy.
Mostly yes. But the opposite is what is true -- poverty makes you unhappy.
Money dosent buy you happy, but it puts a huge down payment on it.
What an interview! So much value dropped here🙌
Such a great episode! Way to go Noah!
Good job, Noah. All your interviews are inspiring learning experiences. I can relate to Mark's path of persistence, humility, getting advice, then sharing advice. Keep it up, PLEASE. 😅❤
I think this was by far the best interview you did. It may also be one of the bests that were ever done.
This was epic! What a cool dude. Thanks for this!
Perfect timing for me! So insightful
He is so natural, no arrogance , he just said it like it was.Great guy!
I love this guy!! So humble and doesnt spotlight his failures but instead focuses on how to succeed and wants others to focus on success too.
Personal success is Not defined by monetary gain
Humbled and inspired by this episode. Thank you!
Great interview. I've been struggling to articulate what I really want out of building a business and Mark nailed it exactly when he said he owns his time. Massive wealth has never been my goal, but owning my time would be priceless to me.
The best interview yet.. very inspiring story.. and great advice.
Thanks for this. What an amazing story. Mark just has this genuine and humble spirit to him. I found this very inspirational. ~ Kai
Loved this interview and story.
I love that list! Thank you
This man is the definition execution and never giving up. It’s so inspiring to see how many business and ideas he ran with until he figured it out
I love this man. He is so real. Not trying to pretend. Humble, handsome and honest!
Love your content! It takes a courage to ask these types of questions, from success people.
So much value, Thank you Noah. I got your book as support. :)
Thank goodness you brought this up! Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!
Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who
assisted you? I'm 39 now and would love to
grow my portfolio and plan my retirement
She's OLIVIA SULLIVAN FINANCIALS
she's a known advisor. I actually did look her up curiously and went through her credentials on her webbsite... Top-notch! I wrote her an email, hopefully she's accepting new intakes.
I'm definitely gonna check her out. Do yo have any idea if she manages family fund?
She's definitely going to help you. All you have to do is look up her full name and reach out to her on her webbsite...
What a dude! Pure inspiration!
Really enjoyed this session .. one can achieve anything if given 100% or even more with the right attitude to learn and grow and with humility .. great one!
Nice interview. Hard and smart work at early age pays off.
Great interview and story!
This guy is very honest.
Mark is a great dude.
True. @@noahkagan
Great interview! Thank you! 🙏
I absolutely 💗 Mark Jenny’s mindset! 💯%
amazing interview.. thank you
This was interesting. Great interview!
The honesty from him is refreshing ❤
This interview changed my life, im really thankful! God bless you❤🤲🏼
This was a great video and loved his rags to riches story! Such good advice about perseverance, innovation, and hard-work! 💪🏽
hardwork yes
Omg what a great story! Very inspirational and real. The part of his mom made me realize how very important it is to be in the present and enjoy every possible moment with loved ones. I can relate with an elder mom, and looking to dive into business while being a father of three kids, it’s daunting. But this story, his tips, what he shared is awesome! Great job on putting together this content!
I really appreciate this interview. I listen to a lot of interviews like this and this guy is the most relateable to me -so helpful. Thank you 🙏
That was great Noah. Thanks.
There was so much information and depth in this interview. Thank you both for sharing this
His first website builder website is hilarious 😂 he did that himself wow! I LOVE THIS GUY! He is absolutely the type of person you want to surround yourself with but that are unfortunately very rare to come across in life. So when you do, recognize it and show them the appreciation and respect they deserve. Its likely they don’t receive it as often as they should either!
Amazing content as always! Thank you!
Love his humility and integrity. Super happy for him! Very inspiring.
I became captain of a multimillion dollar private yacht in my 20's after growing up on food stamps. Navigated yachts all over the world. I sell expensive yachts now.
I can totally relate to this guy's desire to climb up and out of his childhood.
Fantastic interview. This guy is the American dream. Congratulations, my man. You did it. 🎉
dang dude, how did you land that? deck hand into knowing someone?
You should get interviewed by this guy. I would like to know more on your story and am sure many more would benefit from hearing your story. God bless you.
@@obama218 maritime schooling probably.
I’m building my from scratch, but people don’t believe in me but I keep going..
I'm not as wealthy as this guy. I can't say I've ever hurt for money and I think I probably have his level of happiness. But my getting started story is crazy similar to this guys, from how he first witnessed happiness as a kid, up until the point where his website builder took off. Stupid me, I was building custom CMS applications probably around that same time, and this guy realized he could just fake one, and made way more money.
@@money--ytyou are not Noah’s account
This happened to me as well had some ideas that others did a bit different and took off I am finally doing my first $1 million this year I wished it happened sooner but never give up
Yeah it was the hosting he earned through right? As he gave the site for free? The site then being a way to channel customers. As they already have to pay for hosting, so it becomes a free service to the customer. Did I get that right?
@@jasonmoroney7962the website back then was usually a landing page or something that wouldnt need daily updates that he gave for free. The hosting was residual income plus sign up bonuses
This guy is such a good dude man. What an inspiration. Best from Oz mate!
Awesome life story! Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring 🙏
An honest wealthy businessman is usually a paradox. But this man of integrity has managed it effortlessly. Truly inspiring and an example to all the other greedy, cut throat, cheating business owners that they can be wealthy and honest.
Didn't he literally say that's how he got most of his money in the start, and used the money to more honest business after it ate him up? Sort of sends the wrong message still.
Loved this interview. The statement 'selling other peoples stuff and supplements made me feel like a snake oil salesman..' is exactly how I feel about everything I look at.
Such an inspiration. Keep going!
I loved this interview! Mark is a very captivating and interesting person!
What a great guy. I relate to what he said about the regret of not spending more time with his mom towards the end of her life. If I could do things over, I’d have spent much more time with my dad, but I knew he didn’t want to fight to live and I felt hurt and not worth living for. I didn’t handle loss well and knew he was going to die, so started pulling away in order to protect myself. I didn’t want to absolutely fall apart after he was gone. I had to have strength to continue on with my life. But years later, looking back, I wish I would’ve reprioritized my life and planned a way to step away from things in order to care for him and fall apart/heal from the loss in a financially controlled way. Honestly, I know now that I would’ve been able to swing it financially, I just didn’t see how it was possible then. And I didn’t want to become both fatherless and homeless whilst being severely depressed. I pray often that he and the Most High forgive me. I blew it big time. I was such a mess during that time though. Was going through my own trauma during that time.
I’m sorry for your loss.🌸
It’s really hard to know how to handle these end of life issues -
Especially when we have stuff we are trying to deal with in our own lives.
I’m sure your Father now understands what you were up against and he definitely still loves you, anyway.
And God knows our heart as well as our struggles.
I hope you can give yourself a break because feeling regret does you no good.
All we can do is learn the lesson and try better when a difficult challenge comes our way in the future.
Depression is a b*tch and only people who have gone through it truly understand how impossible it can be just to get through the day sometimes.
God bless you. 💕
Forgive yourself, you did the best you could at the time. Your Father understands and loves you.
