What does it mean to speak your truth? How do we deal with adversity, conflict and ego death? And what does it mean to be a conscious leader? Mark van der Heijden joins Lars for an exploration of these questions and more, as we dive into conscious leadership, creativity, vulnerability, and Mark’s significant experience with public speaking.
Mark is the founder of Conscious 500, a growth network for conscious leaders with a mission to elevate business for good. After live events with conscious leaders such as Robert Edward Grant and Zach Bush, Mark is now focused on Symbiosis, a conscious leadership adventure with Matias de Stefano in Egypt 10-16 Nov. 2025. Mark is also known for his 2-year adventure as the Backpacker Intern, and as DJ Mark Peace, as he blends organic deep house with elevating frequencies.
