The School Of Hard Knox
The School of HardKnox isn’t a motivational podcast—it’s a lived conversation.
Join Mark W. Knox every Monday for real, unfiltered dialogue about life as it actually shows up: his life, your life, and the lessons we earn along the way. This show sits at the intersection of business, relationships, health, faith, and balance—because success in one area without alignment in the others is a liability, not a win.
Each episode challenges listeners to think more clearly, move more intentionally, and lead themselves better. Mark draws from his own journey—wins, losses, silence, and seasons of rebuilding—while bringing in voices from his network of operators and thinkers: entrepreneurs, small business owners, executives, creators, investors, authors, and coaches who’ve done the work, not just studied it.
This is a podcast for people who are done chasing motivation and ready to build discipline.
For those who want to turn setbacks into leverage, ideas into execution, and pressure into clarity.
If you’re serious about capitalizing on opportunity, making sharper decisions, strengthening your relationships, and transforming failure into an asset—this is your room.
The School of HardKnox is about growth with accountability.
Progress with purpose.
And becoming the kind of person your goals require.
Pull up every Monday.
Expect to be challenged.
Leave better than you showed up.

#129: Radiate Positivity/ Life Updates
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this week's show, I am going to give you some life updates and explain why and how "counting your blessings" puts you in a positive state of mind. I leverage this positivity to change the dynamics of every meeting, Zoom call, and consult I'm apart of. The other people participating can't help but to smile when they see how AUTHENTICALLY happy you are! This was a transparent exercise that unfolded during the course of the show. I challenge each of you to "count your blessings", change your focus, shift your perspective, and adjust your attitude. The goal is to get you to approach every personal and professional situation with the "glass half full" mentality.
