Rich Marks the Spot Rich Marks. The Creativity Scientist. Hobbies Rotate Like Seasons. Host of 20 Year Timeout Podcast. Writing my first book — Be Yourself Out Loud. Anti-Guru.

Father of 3. I’m Rich Marks — a storyteller, creator, and host of the 20-Year Timeout podcast. The idea came from a simple question: What happened to everyone I used to know? Each episode is a real-time reunion with someone from my past — a childhood friend, an old bandmate, a former coworker — to see how life, creativity, and perspective have evolved over twenty years. The conversations are unscripted, sometimes awkward, often funny, and always real. When I’m not behind the mic, I’m a dad of three under four, a coffee-driven idea machine, and a lifelong fan of classic Nintendo. I stay grounded through movement — running, kettlebells, and body-weight training — and inspired through creative play: making beats, experimenting on YouTube, and chasing curiosity wherever it leads. At its heart, 20-Year Timeout is about rediscovering connection — to people, creativity, and the moments that made us who we are.

My inspiration flows from a world of literature, film, and music. Reading 50 books a year, diving into old and new movies, and listening to music while I write all fuel my creativity. The world around me is my greatest muse.

The history we learn in school often differs from reality. Those who control information shape the narrative, and transparency isn't always what it appears. Understanding this is crucial.

Turning 18, I landed a stagehand gig. My colleague Robert, seeing my comedy passion, booked me for a 15-minute set opening for a blues guitarist. My only prep? A notebook of ideas. I bombed.
