MR.
I’M POSSIBLE

TRANSFORMATION BUILT FROM REAL LIFE

Marlo Da Motivator is one of the most impactful system-impacted motivational speakers and financial literacy educators in the country. His work lives at the intersection of mindset transformation, real-world financial discipline, and lived experience that cannot be taught in a classroom.

FROM INCARCERATION TO EDUCATION

Once written off by the system, Marlo graduated a year late from a continuation high school with an academic GPA of 1.42. Today, he holds five associate degrees and a bachelor’s degree, graduating on the Dean’s List for multiple semesters.

His journey from incarceration to higher education, authorship, business ownership, and national speaking engagements is not theory, it is lived proof that transformation is possible with the right tools, discipline, and mindset.

15+ YEARS OF REAL IMPACT

For more than 15 years, Marlo has motivated tens of thousands of individuals across jails, prisons, schools, nonprofit organizations, county agencies, and corporate environments.

Organizations trust Marlo because he does more than inspire, he equips people with practical tools they can use immediately.

 A changed mindset
 The belief that they are winners
 Tangible tools they can put to work immediately
 A clearer sense of responsibility, discipline, and direction
 Motivation that translates into action, not just inspiration

Marlo’s message is authentic, culturally responsive, and results-driven. People don’t just hear him, they feel the truth and leave ready to take action for themselves, their families, and society.

What People Say!

“PHENOMENAL, INSPIRING, AND HOPEFUL”

"As a Transitions teacher working in a prison, I was often concerned that my students did not feel that I could relate to their circumstances. They knew that I cared, but many times after I taught a lesson about parole or a related issue, students would say, “That’s not how it works.” The main obstacle that faced them was overcoming the stigma of incarceration once they were released. Many of them could not fathom how they could possibly be seen as anything but an ex-felon. Your presentation was so phenomenal because you took your audience through your journey from childhood to young adulthood to incarceration to successful reentry in such a vivid, powerful way. As you spoke, I watched some of my most withdrawn, resistant students come to life. The transformations you inspired were a joy to observe. I would recommend you to any group that is searching for an uplifting, motivational, authentic speaker. You have a gift of speaking with passion, power and humor and making your audience feel the genuine hope you have for them. Even more importantly, you instill in them hope for themselves, something that most of them have abandoned."
