Mark Seyforth 62
“I really believe that travel, it’s priceless.”

ROWD sits down with LifeTRNDS CEO Mark Seyforth to benefit from his crowd marketing experience, hear his holiday plans, and why he awoke one morning to find his car upside down. For Mark Seyforth, life happens fast. He left home at 17, was married by 18, and had his first daughter at the age of 19. He would go on to found a company with a turnover of millions of dollars before he turned 30. But the college age Seyforth wouldn’t recognise this man, or this lifestyle, today.
“I was so poor when I was going through college that I had a car that was literally rusted out, it was falling apart.” Seyforth says, “I was lucky if I could get the thing to stop at a stoplight. A bunch of my buddies decided one day that the best thing they could do for my car was to turn it upside down. I actually came out in the morning to go to class and the car was flipped over. So I’m going ‘How am I supposed to get to school?’ and they said ‘The same way you always do: walk, because your car is always broken anyway.’”
