About the Authors
The Mark and Stephanni Story
Mark and Stephanni share a unique blend of adventure, humor, and loyalty, creating a forever party of goodness and joy.
Mark and Stephanni Myers Bishop have emerged from vastly different backgrounds—Mark hails from Alberta, Canada, and Stephanni from Utah, USA. Both lost their spouses to cancer, then met in 2019, and quickly discovered remarkable harmony.
Mark is a father to 4, grandfather to 9, brother, friend, avid cyclist, and was a successful entrepreneur running a business developing lubricants, additives, and fluid solutions for large commercial farms and industry giants such as Exxon, General Motors, and Bell Helicopter. After selling his business he had a brief retirement before plunging into franchising a successful property maintenance company. His big personality, mesmerizing voice, booming laughter, and fun personal adventure parables have made him a sought-after speaker.
Stephanni is a mother to 6, grandmother to 18, sister, friend, cyclist, and hiker. A serial entrepreneur, she enjoyed various careers including artist, editor, author, marketing executive, eventually culminating in her own successful marketing company. She also excelled as a community leader, speaker, and business mentor with SCORE, the SBA, Women in Business and Zion’s Business Center. She served as Chairman of The Chamber of Commerce in the Salt Lake Valley and felt honored as Business Woman of the Year in 2012. She is a voracious reader, writer, and has published several books and hundreds of magazine articles. She previously worked with numerous authors privately and at publishing houses in several capacities (editing, acquisitions, PR, and marketing). She is proud of her achievements in Editing, Public Relations/Marketing for, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey. Her innovative marketing methods have forever changed the publishing industry.
After years of both being urged to write a book, they decided to collaborate on a new book, Be the Boss of Your Thinker, which encapsulates their personal and inspiring insights, lessons learned, observations, and conclusions. They view thoughts as the foundation for our lives and believe that carefully considered and chosen thoughts direct our actions.
We will have hard times and we will handle them. The real question is, will our thoughts be ones that enable us to persevere successfully and even come out stronger and better, or will we think in unhealthy ways leading to feelings and actions of a victim, where we wallow in misery? We can choose healthy thoughts to live life fully and with intentional delight. The authors are uniquely qualified to address the power of healthy thoughts to overcome adversity and find joy in life.
Stephanni thrived despite childhood abuse to face life on her own at a young age, lost 4 children, raised a physically and mentally challenged daughter, navigated severe financial struggles, lost a husband to mental illness and another spouse to cancer, endured a serious car accident leaving her in a wheelchair facing what many consider the worst disease (often called the suicide disease), plus many other significant challenges. Yet she frequently found herself counseling others on how to love life no matter what! She is ridiculously optimistic, cheerful and an empowering storyteller.
Mark faced a serious bone infection as a young teen, and after months in a hospital, he narrowly averted amputation and predictions of being crippled to later ride his bicycle across Canada to raise funds to build a school in Ethiopia. He is still an unbelievably accomplished cyclist. He has overcome other challenges and inspired many by being true to his beliefs and appreciating ALL that life has to offer and the growth that comes from hardships. His decades of volunteer work as a fun scout leader created numerous wild stories of teaching hundreds of boys to be mighty men. His cheerful enthusiasm and BIG personality draw people to him.
Mark and Stephanni were tremendously blessed to be married in 2023 and currently divide their time between their two countries. Despite experiencing numerous, serious hardships (a few shared in their book or as speakers), they adore life and are deliriously happy adventure partners, who love the outdoors. By sharing healthy thought practices to encourage individuals to be the Boss of Their Thinkers, the energetic authors believe they can fulfill their dream to Make the World a Better Place.

What great stories from both Mark and Stephanni! I learned a lot although there is a ton of work to do for myself to be the master of my own thinking.

Life Coach

Marketing Specialist
Healthy thinking through memorable stories and personal parables. What a great read!
Bussinessman
Stephanni has truly been through a lot. Things she shares in the book. While many call it trauma and allow it to decide who they are from now on, Stephanni has chosen to own how she changes and rolls through trials and struggles, coming out stronger and finding even more joy. An inspirational example with great points and helps (with stories throughout) on how to see the good.
Analyst
Great resource for anyone trying to better their outcomes by adapting their thinking!

I loved the personal stories and examples as it reinforced that we all have challenges that come our way, it's how we choose to approach and learn from those challenges that really matters. It is hard to choose any one part that I liked but Chapter 9 "Think" had some great content. I especially liked the sections on "Truth and Honesty", "We Can Change", "Victim or Victor", and "Things don't Happen TO us: they Happen FOR us". I love this book and hope to be able to share it with some friends and family. It just made us feel good about life and know that our life can be richer, happier and filled with more joy as we apply these principles. Get it - Read it - Apply it - and Live it!!!
