Marc Chan Email and Phone Number

This effort is my little side project to give back to the industry that brought me to where I am today. Bringing people to the forefront of business by launching a micro-podcast. Short, unedited recordings to give perspectives on the motivations and interests of real professionals. The work from home experience we shared during Covid offered a more personal view of people in their own environment. We met their children as they ran past the camera during Zoom calls, heard the dog barking at the birds in the backyard. The personal touch had slipped away. We’re bringing that back (the personal touch, not the virus). Business is ultimately about people and the decisions we make, the surroundings that influence us, and the relationships we build. The MARC CHANnel Podcast aims to bring back the personal aspect of people we do business with. Join me, follow my YouTube Channel. Volunteer to be interviewed, the topic is yours.
