Mark Lyford is the original rebel entrepreneur with a cause; a self-taught marketer with an eclectic mix of marketing and entrepreneurial experiences who’s been in business for 23 years and has 15 years experience specifically in the realm of internet marketing. 

His varied and controversial career began in 1997, when he first took the opportunity to enter the adult entertainment industry at the age of 23.  

At the height of Mark’s success, he was living with a wife and one son in The Bahamas, enjoying a luxury lifestyle and status arising from through owning a network of 32,000 profitable adult websites. 

In 2002,  Mark dramatically lost everything in an attempt to upscale his business and outclass his competitors. Unfortunately, his business moves were anticipated, and the relationships he had relied upon to build his business gradually fell apart. He talks about his experience in his recent book ‘Rebel Entrepreneur’  and talks about some of the lessons he learned; how to motivate himself towards his goals, and how to maintain balance in an often delicate web of trust. 

Of this, he experience he says: “It directed me towards higher spiritual goals and gave me the strength I needed to battle injustice and adversity and the grace to  recognise virtue where I previously I had only seen darkness, fear and greed.”

Now, Mark’s daily goals are to bring out the best in everyone he meets and does business with, to celebrate the universal spirit of the accomplishment in humanity, and be of benefit to the world at large”. 

In recent years, Mark re-invented himself and emerged like a phoenix from the ashes of his former career, re-forging his internet business with hard work, dedication, inspired product marketing, and a great deal of help from my friends. 

He is now 100% dedicated to the Digital Money Revolution loyal to those who supported me through the toughest of times, particularly his family and currently works as a publisher, marketer and public speaker 

Mark says of his vision: “I rely on a broad team of people who are always helping me to accomplish my grand vision: Free Money. Free Economics. Free Trade, and a Free World.” 

Mark’s public speaking appearances recently included: the “Marketing Summit” event in Manchester and multiple London events*

He also creates and presents his own training workshops throughout the UK. 

His book: “Rebel Entrepreneur: Porn, Paradise, Pot, Prison” charts his experiences in life and business thus far and was released in hardback in July.

Mark is divorced and lives in Ashby de la Zouch in the midlands of England with his dog, has two children, James and Alexander, whom he loves dearly, and without whom he might not have the strength to achieve his vision.
