I remember even back then, when Mark first interviewed Sharp, Sharp flipped the script on Mark a couple of times, asking him questions rather than answering them. Love Sharp for his personality and ways that I can relate to and Mark for his awesome interviews. He gives these people trapped in the gutter a voice and an optional way to get out. They both have something that I personally think can't be duplicated. Love you both!

this was an amazing podcast! ❤ loved the talk on parenting and how childhood can affect you for your whole life. (my parents did meth and our house was loud / chaotic / violent / everyday was different. i’ve made it pretty far in life, college, corporate job (i’m just at the bottom level but i’m trying to work up) i even bought my own home last year. anyway, i’m here to say that childhood trauma sticks with you for life. you can rise above your upbringing but it’s always there in the back of your mind.

[@ImNattyFattyWitABumAssDaddy]

Omg Mark made me cry talking about his mother. He got all choked up. I love his soul. Such a kind kind man!!

[@tazzzyy]

Loved how Mark discussed the impact that parenting has on a child's future. The first ten years mean so much. Gives the child the imprint they will carry. Giving them that acceptance and unconditional love and sense of stability and safety. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@toomuchtruth]

Yep, stable two parent households are the key to raising high functioning, capable human beings. However everything in western culture, from casual hooking up, gangbanging music & promotion of assorted degeneracy makes good homes a small minority now...

[@gvs6462]

That jit will carry your legacy. Not taking care of your jit will reflect your life as a miserable failure that will be outshined by your progenitors and future generations, so we all ought to provide the fundamental basis for our kids to actually have the opportunities in life within their reach so we can enable them to find success in whatever path of life they chose. Parents are there to support. I have 0 respect for deadbeat fathers or mothers, they POS in my eyes.

[@tazzzyy]

@@gvs6462 yeah I tend to agree; Doesn't really matter what else you achieve in your life if you fail as a parent you fail at life 🤷. But at the same time I think most people are doing the best they can with what they know. Only thing is, sometimes your best isn't good enough 🤷. It's hard enough to break the cycle when you have all the intention in the world, all the desire in the world. Imagine for people that are just doing what they know and the thought never occurred to them to do something better. I think a lot of the failures are less so malicious and more so ignorance and not knowing any better Edits are for spacing and readability

[@CSERepair]

Preach!! That’s the whole purpose of SWU 🙏🏽

[@phelosibeko9796]

Mark chose to incarnate through such loving, supportive parents. So that he could step into his life purpose (which he has and does it amazingly). Had he been born into struggle and pain and poverty, I don't think he would be as fascinated by the human struggle as he is. He may even have wanted to stay far away from it. And the people who need him would have missed out on him. Sometimes ... the pain or love you are born into leads you to where you're meant to go. Just don't give up on yourself ❤ you have a purpose no matter what circumstances you've been through.

[@dextermorgan2402]

We need more people like Mark.. what a genuine soul.

[@ientrancedi]

Mark is a living tribute to his parents and highest honor to his mother’s memory with this work.

[@bittnerbs]

Mark is a gift to the universe. His ability to let other people tell their stories is unparalleled. He knows when to shut up and listen and knows when there is that lull in conversation to ask a pertinent question. He is the Jedi master of his craft.

Mark hands down has the best documentaries Ive ever seen. He shows the world how to open there hearts to what so many find taboo.

What an incredible human being.

[@nicholasnaranjo93]

This interview is absolutely riveting. Mark will go down in history as one of the most influential people of our time. More importantly he is able to provide a platform that allows health professionals an opportunity to see REAL life struggle and the effects it has on a human being. But most importantly it gives us the ability to see reality for many unfortunate individuals and the opportunity to try and improve the tools and system we live in to help them.

[@MikeSmith-gx6be]

Bro this is how men are supposed to sit down have a conversation. This don't even feel like an interview. Just a conversation between men....

Yeah, if the professionals would actually notice such good content and put into effect the necessary means to improve the tools and systems already in place for many people's cases. Other than that, this just turns unnoticed, more information unused.

Mark is what I consider an incredible human. He has all of the traits, and flaws, that make a great human. He has empathy (very important), he's a thinker and also considerate. I can tell you now that he's a special one and you don't meet these people every day. Very rewarding to me as a viewer. Be good people, guide and protect your kids. They are the future!

When Sharp said on SWU "A BITCH IS GOING TO BE A BITCH" in response to when Mark said he had a friend who did everything for his wife & his friend even sexed his wife good & never cheated on her. But Mark's friend wife cheated on him, that is deepest SHIT Sharp ever said.

[@ChainsTheChef888]

Daaaamn that's crazy that Sharp wanted his first video with Mark to be taken down days after it dropped and Mark convinced him not to, and then sharp saying "You were fucking right". Those interviews that Mark did with Sharp inspired me a lot in my character and the way I dress and it made me watch the church on a sunday show with Sharp because it's motivational, inspirational and it's all about spreading mental health. It's crazy that a video that Sharp didn't really wanted because he felt regret and even offered to payback for it to be taken down, took him to his evolution where now he is inspiring a lot of people out here such as myself with these topics about bettering yourself and being a motivation to your peers. Mark and Sharp did something legendary with those videos, they inspired a lot of people across the globe. and Yes as different as it sounds, Sharp's philosophy inspired me to always keep my house clean and have discipline in myself.

And you sparing Mark the public humiliation he was desperately trying to avoid in his admittance that he too had done the same thing while in his documenting of the ‘underworld’… just made it that much clearer for me.
