Board Member | Mark Bradford

For anyone thinking of joining the Greater Greenfield Community Chamber—for anyone who is interested in sparking change and inspiring others—now is the time to engage. Board Member Mark Bradford believes the GGCC, “Is just about to have a big growth spurt. I think if you get in now, you can help shape it in a way you might not be able to in the future. Now is when you can have a lot more influence, while it is a small, growing organization.”

Another membership motivator, as Mark describes it, is that the GGCC is, “very welcoming. We’re glad to have you; glad to meet you and see what you’re about.” In fact, it took Mark “less than a meeting” to decide to join the Chamber. He found the members “very, very available and approachable.” Seven months later, Mark believes membership is “worth a try” and that the GGCC is “looking for the good of all to kind of rise up at the same time.” That last bit aligns so well with his own guiding principles.

Mark is many things in life and every role is guided by his core directives: discover, distill, disseminate, and teach. He is a podcaster, author, speaker, technology consultant, pilot, aerial photographer, coach, full-stack web developer, systems creator, and dad. It’s an extensive life and career portfolio.

Mark talks about “establish[ing] a system of coaching to help people map out their time, energy, and resources.” A podcast “started as a quest.” While writing a book, he was “in this exploring mode.” He encourages people to “Join us on this journey.” All that considered, Mark, we think, is a visionary and a pioneer. He sees what could be and then ventures out to make it happen.

He explains that “everything I do—from writing books to coaching to speaking—is meant to bridge the “chasm between what I can do and the people I can do it for.” Mark is inspired by the figurative light bulb that goes on in some people when he’s sharing information with them they’ve never considered before. He enjoys connecting with people, synthesizing and clarifying ideas for them, and helping them achieve their goals and live a more fulfilling life.

Always happy to have a chat with someone and loving feedback on his life’s work, Mark would like people to know they “shouldn’t be afraid to reach out” to him. His phone number is (414) 331-8280; his email address is mark@bradfordweb.com; click here for his scheduling page.

Mark says, “We live these days with technology, a lockdown that wasn’t so long ago, and a lot of isolation issues. I think any time you can get humans to interact, it’s a good thing. Our society needs more of that.” His perspective underscores the value of connection and collaboration in today’s world. GGCC membership offers just that—wonderful opportunities to engage with others, build relationships, and contribute to a stronger, more connected community. We hope to see you soon at one of our events. Introduce yourself to Mark when you arrive. He’d like nothing better.
