Meet Mark Hopkins | Legacy Guide

We had the good fortune of connecting with Mark Hopkins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mark, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
I don’t believe in work life balance. I believe chasing it sets you up for failure. It sets you up for a life full of exhaustion and compromises. Why should we compromise in life? In relationships compromise is key but for me, I don’t want to compromise. I want to be 100% committed to whatever I am focusing on at the time. It is like standing in the middle of a see-saw and trying to keep both ends off the group – it is hard work and fragile. One slight movement to either side and the see-saw hits the ground. I believe in 5 relationships of life and tilting between them when I need to. It is about being present and conscious about what is important to me at that time and also communicating what I am doing and why.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am involved with 3 businesses that all have the same thing at it’s core – helping people achieve their legacy. We Get Outdoors helps people turn their dream outdoor vacation into a reality by taking the stress out of the planning, the FOMO of the area and connecting them to the best of the best guides, outfitters, hotels and restaurants. As a Legacy Guide I support dads, husbands and leaders go from feeling like a C+ man to an A* man by giving them the skills to design, build and then live their legacy – I achieve this through bootcamps, masterminds and camps held in a beautiful Spanish villa. Finally, in TetraKey we make you richer across the 5 Relationships of Life – as a business owner or entrepreneur, we help you grow your income while also growing your health and relationships and as a commission earner we give you the skills to have the income you want without ever having to feel like you are selling. I am motivated by helping individuals achieve their legacy.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I have a few cities i am based out of – Durban South Africa – very simply I would tell you to go and hike through a Big 5 Game Reserve, sleeping next to the rivers and listening to lions prowl around you. Girona, Spain I would recommend walking through the beautiful Jewish Quarter, climbing the city walls and finding the loudest bar full of locals to go and start a conversation. London, England – museums and galleries are the way forward.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have been very fortunate to be guided by a few people, both professionally and personally. I have been recommended books that have shaped who I am and how I show up in the world and I have people who call me out on my blind spots. Vicktor Fankl – A Man’ Search For Meaning has shaped a lot about the man, the dad and the leader I am. My top 10 book list is something I cherish.
