Hugely appreciate you asking me to do this Ben, and thank you to anyone who takes the time to watch it. Thank you also to anyone who supports Road to Success and Markmccann64 channel

[@newandroid14]

Another brilliant video.

[@lordpritch2085]

Absolute genuine guy.

[@RickTheSpud]

Great to see your chilled out chatty side Mark, definitely got to know what you're about. Didn't know about your racing and rally background... 👊😎

[@RickTheSpud]

When you say buggies, do you mean Rage Buggies or something else?

[@RickTheSpud]

Is your Ken Block Fiesta the same one from Gymkhana 5 in San Fran...

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

So true what Mark says about KZbin, so often your best videos barely get watched and then some little throwaway video does relatively well. It’s frustrating at times but we’re not digging ditches for a living at the end of the day. Great podcast guys!

[@Original_sneakman]

I love Mark and his energy. Such a humble man. I’d love to actually meet him in person

[@gregfearon7579]

What a fantastic interview Mark. Was totally hooked and fascinated by your life story and how humble you are despite your success in life. Also all credit to you for keeping the family business alive with your brother on top of everything you do on youtube. Dont put too much pressure on yourself to be a youtube hero, we love your videos when they come out but family comes first and you come across as a great husband and father which is the real win ❤

[@iainnimmo7748]

Mark you’re an inspiration to the rest of us. Keep doing what you’re doing lad!

[@MarkMcCann64]

Thats very kind Iain

[@jakesnaith8939]

I met mark at goodwood this year. Having not long climbed out the car from the hill he gave me and my dad the time for a chat and show us around the kb fiesta. Huge respect 👍🏻

[@MarkMcCann64]

Thanks for coming over Jake

[@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@EAD_0]

Can’t watch anything these days without a car vertical video interrupting proceedings. They must spend 300 trillion dollars a year on sponsorship given all the ads I see,

[@pauldupre2269]

Great interview. Haven't always followed Mark's Videos all that much, but after watching this, it makes me take more interest in the Guy. Great Vids Ben 👍🏼

[@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast]

Mark & his family are such lovely people, been an honour to meet them a few times this year 🤗

[@MarkMcCann64]

Thanks Glen, same to you!

[@nelg1973]

@@MarkMcCann64 I know who I can trust, after seeing this epic Podcast, we have all been through bad things in our lives, you helped me a lot with mine tbh mate, without even knowing. Onwards & upwards my friend 🙏🏼

[@Tbo1235]

Mark seemed very emotional in this. Lovely man

[@MarkMcCann64]

Thanks for watching and supporting

[@gavstenhouse8857]

Another epic podcast Ben Mark is such a family man who is loving life and sharing it with us all

[@MarkMcCann64]

Appreciate that Gav

[@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast]

Thanks Gav, legend

[@davelangford2439]

It took me a while to warm to Mark but I love him now. Another person (along with Stradman, Chris BIFB, Tavarish, Mat Armstrong etc) that proves you can live the dream without being a c**t like Andrew Tate. Great episode Ben.

[@aaronallenlisburn]

I was one of those people at Goodwood with my son. Absolute gentleman Mark is, he took the time out to chat with me and my 9 year old son, and pose for photos etc, he was absolutely made up! So down to earth

[@foundnotlost]

If you know Mark and his family you know the car is in the best hands possible, has to be fate.

[@smcdetailing7921]

What baffles me is how Mark doesn't mention how he came into KZbin. Which was first featuring on Ryan Taylors Channel as the complaining neighbour, and then going on to have Jordan (Ryan's guy) as his videographer for the first year of his channel.

[@BobsYirUncle]

Probably because it’s already out there.

[@jfender1993]

This

[@smcdetailing7921]

@BobsYirUncle but on this and other Podcasts he's never included it when People ask him how he go into KZbin

[@MarkMcCann64]

It’s no secret, I didn’t get asked the question

[@trevnicholl3586]

Did you go to SEMA ? you have barely mentioned it

[@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast]

😂

[@its_marc]

Marks a top guy, his Mrs is hot too - he’s loving life and it’s great to watch it 😁

[@Tbo1235]

55:32 what happened 😂

[@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast]

We have little breaks during the episodes sometimes for the bathroom etc, so just had to stitch 2 sections together and get the conversation going again haha

[@wlmedia2.0]

Fro systems???

[@MarkMcCann64]

Yes

[@akaday]

God you are painful, only put up with it to hear Mark’s story.
