The Body Language Edge Every Entrepreneur Needs (w/Mark Bowden)
Your pitch deck may be solid — but people often decide whether they trust you before you even finish the first slide.
Host Roger Pierce interviews Mark Bowden, ranked the World’s #1 Communication Keynote Speaker (Global Gurus 2026) and voted three-times as the #1 Body Language Professional in the world. Mark is the founder of Truthplane.com, a bestselling author, and co-host of The Behavior Panel — one of YouTube's most popular shows on body language and human behavior with more than 1.1 million subscribers.
Recognized globally for his work on nonverbal communication, Mark's clients include Zoom, Shopify, Toyota, KPMG, American Express, the U.S. Army, and NATO.
In this conversation, Mark and Roger explore a critical truth for entrepreneurs: your business is judged through you before it is judged on your product. As Mark puts it, “The way your product and your service is initially going to get judged and continue to be judged is on your performance in front of people.”
You’ll learn why first impressions are difficult to undo, the body language mistakes many founders make under pressure, and how entrepreneurs can project calm authority when the stakes are high. Mark and Roger also talk about making videos, books, credibility, and why communication may be the most powerful competitive advantage an entrepreneur can develop.
