10 Seconds To Air : Resilience, empathy, and reform with Flikshop CEO Marcus Bullock
SHOW NOTES
At 15 years old, Marcus Bullock was sentenced to eight years in a maximum-security prison. What could have been the end of his story became the beginning of something transformative. Thanks to his mother’s relentless love—sending him daily letters and photos—Marcus not only survived but found purpose. Today, he’s the founder and CEO of Flickshop, a tech company connecting incarcerated people with their families, and the leader of the Flickshop School of Business, empowering others returning from prison to build their own futures.
In this conversation with Alita Guillen, Marcus opens up about the moment he realized his sentence was real, the despair that nearly broke him, and the promise from his mother that saved his life. He shares his path from rejection after rejection during reentry to building a successful business, and the lessons of resilience and innovation that drive him today.
This is a story about second chances, the power of connection, and how one person’s transformation can ripple out to change entire communities.
