FOR THE ROOM Keynote Experience

THE EXPERIENCE

Mark Jones has worn more uniforms than most people try on in a lifetime. Marine. Jail deputy. Street cop. Disneyland cast member. Death Row correctional officer. Federal executive.

Each one taught him something about people - how we hide, how we break, how we find each other in the dark.

This keynote isn't motivation dressed in a suit. It's the truth about resilience - told with humor, weight, and the kind of honesty that makes a room go quiet before it laughs.

From a San Francisco pancake house in the porn district to a hospice room where he learned that letting go is its own kind of courage - this is one man's story about what it actually takes to keep showing up.
