Mark Rowland -The Red Pill, Roceteer Inc – Return on Community

Welcome to episode #3 of this series. Today I am delighted to be interviewing Mark Rowland, The Red Pill (That is his title…reference the movie, The Matrix, for this), of Roceteer Inc.

Down load the transcript. Mark Rowland-4.

I first met Mark about a year ago, introduced by a mutual friend. We have never met in person. From our first meeting what impressed me the most about Mark was his huge generosity…the kind of generosity that comes from knowing at a deep level that we live in an abundant Universe. I am sure you will be able to tap into this spirit in Mark as he shares the work he is doing in the world…which is breathtaking and inspirational.
