How quotes work: Ranges reflect typical engagements. Final fee is set by event date, travel, format, audience size, and customization. Nonprofit, faith, and education rates are available — if budget is a barrier and the mission aligns, start the conversation anyway; Mark sets aside a limited number of reduced and pro bono engagements each year. Travel & lodging are billed separately at actual cost for in-person events. A signed agreement and deposit hold your date.
