Mark McCormack joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to talk about the two very different worlds he moves between — building and running a $30 million fund, and raising his children through homeschooling at home. It is a conversation about how he built a business at scale while staying deeply hands-on with his family.
The discussion also moves into more personal territory, as Mark McCormack reflects on stepping away from the Mormon church he was raised in — a decision he frames as part of his own path rather than a judgment on the faith or the people still in it.
