What if the real measure of success is not only what you build, but who you become while building it?
Mark Young has lived the kind of life that refuses to fit into one category. He is a serial entrepreneur, educator, author, philanthropist, marketing strategist, doctor of functional medicine, health-tech CEO, and host of Age Defiantly with Mark Young. His work moves across business, branding, human behavior, longevity, faith, and personal transformation.
Ryze Agency is where Mark helps companies sharpen their message, strengthen their brand, and turn marketing into something most businesses never fully master: a clear path to trust, action, and growth. Mark does not look at marketing as decoration or noise. He sees it as psychology, trust, positioning, and connection. That same thinking runs through his five-part Ecommerce Brand Guide to the Galaxy series, where he explores how ecommerce brands launch, create first impressions, build their universe, attract traffic, and recognize the clues success leaves behind.
Mark is also the CEO of Zona Health, where his work extends into cardiovascular optimization, blood pressure, longevity, and helping high performers age defiantly.
But what makes Mark’s story compelling is the intersection. He understands how brands grow, how people make decisions, how health shapes performance, and how generosity can become more than an act. In Radical Generosity, Mark challenges the scarcity, ego, and transactional thinking that often define success, replacing them with a deeper question: what would change if generosity became your identity?
This is a conversation about business, marketing, health, faith, impact, and the courage to live with open hands while still building something meaningful.
