Mark Young is a serial entrepreneur, educator, and the CEO of Ryze Agency, a Fort Lauderdale-based marketing and advertising firm that helps entrepreneurs elevate their brands. With a career that defies a linear path, Mark is a collector of experiences—constantly seeking, learning, and challenging the status quo. His life philosophy? “Do everything.”
From launching tech startups to reverse-engineering complex business strategies, Mark thrives on solving problems and sharing his knowledge with others. With multiple graduate degrees across disciplines (including a MENSA membership acquired on a dare), his greatest passion lies not in accolades, but in teaching, mentoring, and empowering those around him.
Above all, Mark believes in the power of people. Whether in business, mentorship, or global adventures, he values the connections he makes, always leading with generosity and integrity. As he often says, “People matter. Do the right thing, regardless of the cost. It’ll come back to you. I promise.”
