As professional speakers, we talk a lot about scaling our businesses, landing high-paying gigs, and commanding premium fees, but we rarely talk about the physical baseline required to sustain that level of output. Gruelling travel schedules, high-stakes presentation days, and constant pushing can easily lead to burnout if you aren't intentionally protecting your greatest asset—your health. On this episode of The Wealthy Speaker Podcast, I am joined by the incredible Mark Black—a heart and double-lung transplant recipient turned marathon runner and CSP—to discuss what it truly takes to build a thriving, sustainable speaking business without sacrificing your well-being. Mark shares his remarkable personal story alongside actionable strategies for managing stamina, setting non-negotiable boundaries on the road, and shifting into a mindset that prioritizes long-term vitality. Grab your pen, because whether you are just getting started or stepping onto global stages, this is a conversation your life and your business both need to hear.
