Mark J Carter

Marketing & Outreach Interviewer

EXPERIENCE

Mark has always been curious about how successful people got where they are in life. He has been interviewing successful people for 25 years, posting interviews online for 12 of those years. Each interview is a “how to” interview which means as a viewer/reader/listener you get actionable advice about how to grow personally and professionally.

Mark’s other projects include events and marketing initiatives. He has collaborated with TED’s founder Richard Saul Wurman to create a world-class conference and helped with branding for the world’s largest chapter of Meeting Professionals International (MPI). He has launched book tours and events for New York Times best-selling business authors, helping them share their big ideas with the world. Mark still enjoys interviewing people and posts many of the interviews on his YouTube station (https://www.youtube.com/@markjcarter), his Idea Climbing podcast and Idea Climbing internet radio show.

Mark also serves as a podcast host for B2B organizations for entrepreneurs.

Mark’s interviews culminated in his recent book, “Idea Climbing: How to Create a Support System for Your Next Big Idea” (www.IdeaClimbingBook.com) Mark's live events are called "Keynote Conversations". It's Mark and a thought leader on stage in an interview format. The twist is that the audience in engaged throughout the interview. It's a conversation with the audience instead of a presentation at the audience.

​Currently Mark helps people share their genius for marketing and training video interview content. Rather than entrepreneurs and thought leaders writing and memorizing scripts for videos, he brings them into a state-of-the-art online studio and does what he does best: Interviews them to bring their genius, life lessons and business stories to the surface and then share them with the world. They get the videos they want without the stress of figuring out what to say when the camera turns on.

“Mark is a powerhouse digital marketer, networker, connector, and podcaster. I had the pleasure of being a guest on Mark’s Idea Climbing Podcast and his level of preparation was amazing. He read my book, prepared topics addressing my material, as well as my background, experience, and focus. During the podcast Mark was high energy, engaging, and funny. Our discussion just flew by! It’s no wonder why he as so many followers and has had so many great interviews. Mark’s knack for asking the right questions and therefore getting the right answers is incredible. There are a lot of podcasts out there and it takes a lot of skill to amplify someone’s message while amplifying your own. And Mark is a master! If you have an opportunity to work with Mark, network with Mark, or be interviewed by Mark, I recommend taking the opportunity as you learn from and work with a true master!”
