My particular advice and that is I never would have thought I would be in the circles and doing the things that I am now like 10 years ago. The more that I pushed forward, the more that I was able to break down doors and glass ceilings. So now everything seems pretty limitless. For a lot of founders out there, they just feel like they're going to win overnight and then most folks are not going to win overnight. It's like a 10 year journey itself. Your journey. I've seen folks that raise several rounds and they're still, like needing to raise more rounds. Really believe in yourself, surround yourself with other folks that believe in yourself. But also challenge you to be better.

<h2>On this episode of the Jason Cavness Experience I talk to Mark Begert CEO, Co-Founder at FabuLingua, Inc.</h2>&nbsp;<h2>cavnessHR website: <a href="https://www.cavnesshr.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cavnessHR.com</a></h2>Jason’s email: <a href="mailto:jasoncavness@cavnessHR.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jasoncavness@cavnessHR.com</a>&nbsp;@cavnessHR &nbsp;&nbsp;across social media @jasoncavnessHR across social media We talk about the following Fabulingua, Inc His China experiences Raising Money The Austin Tech and Startup scene		Mark’s Bio	"Mark Begert is&nbsp;the CEO of FabuLingua, a language learning platform for kids based on interactive, children’s stories. FabuLingua is rethinking the way second languages are introduced and reinforced, especially for young children whose brains are actively wiring to all new language input. Applying stories and reading is a timeless practice to learning our native language, and FabuLingua believes it is also naturally effective in second language acquisition. FabuLingua uses technology, delightful stories and game design to create an engaging and effective language learning experience. FabuLingua's unique model helps publishers, writers, and illustrators from all over the world to publish and monetize their stories. Our first product teaches Spanish &amp; English, but soon we will offer multiple languages, markets and mediums. Before founding FabuLingua, Mark has been a start-up to public company founder, operations and finance executive specializing in early and growth stage challenges. Mark has led the growth and maturation of investor-backed companies in the technology, energy and consumer sector, raising $100 million + in angel, venture and public equity for 4 companies. He has worked with both private and public company executive teams, boards, and investors. Mark has a BA from Harvard University and serves on the Board of start-up, coop and non-profit organizations."&nbsp;&nbsp;Mark’s Social Media Mark’s LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/markbegert/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/markbegert/</a> Fabulingua FB: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fabulingua/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/fabulingua/</a> Fabulingua Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fabulinguakids/ Fabulingua Website: <a href="https://www.fabulingua.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.fabulingua.com/</a> Fabulingua YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkckZaKbwxIksHmDdY1yxLw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkckZaKbwxIksHmDdY1yxLw</a> Mark’s Advice From our perspective, I would just encourage parents, uncles, aunts, and grandparents, to give the gift of language learning to their kids, nephews and grandkids. We'd loved it to be through fabulingua, but you know, if there are other ways that that are suitable as well. It's something that I believe benefits these children so much in terms of developing&nbsp;perspective and empathy in our world. Which is something that's going to sort of benefit generations for years to come. If you want to learn more about our particular method, and you want to see some examples of the stories that we have, and understand the brain science and the learning science behind language learning in general. Then I would really recommend you go to our website which has great resources around how it works. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Since retiring from the Air Force I have been blessed to be featured in the PBS documentary “The Next Mission”, lead Influencer Marketing Initiatives, partner with a Multi-million Dollar Real Estate Team and the EXP Realty Brokerage, appear on multiple satellite radio and podcast shows, brand strategize and growth-hack for multiple projects, and speak on numerous stages of universities, companies, military installations, and organizations around the world.

Go check out two books. One is the four hour workweek by Timothy Ferriss. It's a really great book about geo arbitrage and about lifestyle design. The other book, I would say is Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook by Gary Vaynerchuk. That book is all about providing value to others before basically asking them for value.

Is that remember every word and every action that you take as a leader, you're creating someone's world. That world expands outside of that moment. Make sure as a leader that you are engaging people, you're empowering people, that you are appreciating what someone brings to the table. Even on their bad days, so that when they go back out, outside of that. Whether that's affecting your team or their life at home. Just make sure that you understand the power of leadership resonates outside of that moment and that exchange.
