I Was Homeless… Now I Make $5M/Year

In this video, I learn how Mark Jenney went from being homeless, to starting over 30 companies and selling RV Share for $100M. Since then, he’s grown an Airbnb business to $12M+ a year while working only 30 minutes a week.

Going from a father who would cut a $0.59 hamburger in half to trying things out in life and creating multiple companies and earning millions of dollars in revenue, I am very happy for this man's success.

[fredcouch]

Worked for Mark at RVshare, can say he is a genuine person.

Happy to hear he is still killing it!

"Most people think they need to know everything before they do anything, and I think that's totally opposite, you need to know nothing, you just need to do a lot and you'll figure a lot out along the way"

Great interview, I'm taking notes, thank you so much, he seems like a great down to earth guy who cares about his people, his story is truly inspiring.

[dmacd]

This guy is the coolest person I've ever known - period. He's lived, for the most part, on his terms and learned from his mistakes.

Mark is single handedly one of the smartest entrepreneurs i have ever personally met. Everything he touches turns to gold.

[MarkCuda]

Mark was (and is) my first mentor in business, and in many ways, life.

He was my direct manager at RVshare and became a close friend and trusted advisor.

I owe him so much, and I'm so glad to see him finally getting some public recognition for the incredible work he has done in business and in the lives of those he's worked with.

LOVE YOU, MJ!!

This guy did a great interview. So many great points like at 37:30 where he says success is when you own your time and are free to do what you want. You may have less money than other very rich people but you are fee. I like the last part where he says he wished he had spent more time with his mother before she died. Also, do a business where others have a hard time duplicating yours such as his high end Airbnb’s. His location cannot be duplicated. Thanks for sharing.

I grew up in mansions as a kid my dad lost everything when I was 16, he would be worth a good 50 million from the real estate we owned, then I made good money then lost my job and had to sell my real estate I could t rent it out , long story short I lived in a RV at one point to save money, now I live in a beautiful home . Been there done that

if there was a button or click for the most significant youtube video I have seen, this would be it. The amount of information is worth its weight in gold. Thank you for sharing!

And after all that success she managed to stay the same lady that she was 5-6-7 years ago. I’m so motivated every time after learning from Miss Emily Capehart! Keep conquering and being true to yourself!

I don't know who this guy is, but he's pretty cool. Seems genuine

[johnwalker]

This is beyond amazing. Success has no shortcuts, there’re ways to attain it.

[kimmykero]

I just love this guy's authenticity and energy! What a motivation!

[teacherbrad]

Love this interview. This guy is so real and has a good heart. He really wants to help and he's giving this advice from the heart.

[Richwithluv]

Family and friends can become jealous rather than supportive and feel some righteous ownership over your wealth or success. So sad I am sorry you had to go through that. It’s a killer pain in the heart when your closet people back stab ya. Good for you for bouncing back!

[candy]

Inspiring. He's not only down to earth, he has great character. Thank you for sharing.

[ayubmd]

Anyone else here obsessed with Secret Pathway To Triumph? It's like discovering a secret treasure map for wealth!

[panagiotisexplorer]

Honestly, I didn’t expect the interview to be this good. It’s the only time I hear someone who speaks without these motivational nonsense and provided actual information.

[JW]

I love how this guy can actually hear his conscious. That’s hard for a lot of people who are trying to make money/make their way in the world.

An amazing interview! An amazing guest! We can tell Mark speaks sincerely from the heart. He provided so much value here. For all of us who tend to overthink and never start because we don't feel ready, I think the moral of the story is clear: it doesn't have to be something complicated. There's no need to overthink it; just start with something, anything!

Noah, you are a great interviewer and host. I really appreciate how you let the guest speak without interrupting. Your questions are excellent, and you have a great selection of inspiring people. Keep up the good work! ❤
