About
Pittsburgh-based founder, creator, and lifelong learner.
I run Motive11, where I help business owners find where they're bleeding time and money, then build the systems to fix it. Websites, automations, AI workflows, and everything in between.
Through Szymanski Media, I create content about business, technology, AI, and the creator economy. I host the Fueled By Progress podcast and livestream weekly on YouTube.

Don't take my word for it.
You saved me from Elementor-land with your client portal series. You introduced me to Bricks and Kevin Geary, which has helped me tremendously this past year. Hopefully your new course is going to lay out a plan for 2026. Keep sharing your journey! 💪

Mark single-handedly explored our entire product and made a perfect overview video showing people exactly how to get started - we started working together with a clear goal in mind, and I'm happy to say Mark killed it! Looking forward to the continued collaboration.

Talking with Mark surfaced obvious flaws in my marketing strategy (I was spreading myself too thin and should focus on one thing: promoting myself instead of trying to build a ’network’ of brands). I’m excited to redirect all of my web stuff to me, and be proudly solo. Super helpful.

A huge thank you for the fantastic tutorial! it’s been a great experience working with you! Thanks so much! I truly appreciate your support!

I’ve worked with hundreds of creators, but Mark stood out with his professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. He’s incredibly technical, which meant I didn’t have to go back and forth explaining things—just sharing the necessary materials was enough. He delivered exceptionally good content, even earlier than expected. Highly recommend!

Please don't sign up as a sponsor with Mark! Because then that means less sponsorship opportunities for me! Jokes aside, I couldn't be happier with the campaign we (Termageddon) did with Mark. He's a pleasure to work with, proactively communicates ways we can work together and GETS RESULTS for us. Biggest takeaway: working with Mark is a great experience from start to finish, and I recommend working with him!

Vice President at Termageddon
Mark’s YouTube channel provided valuable exposure for our brand within the WordPress community. His content was professional, informative, and aligned well with our goals.

Tim Monner
CMO at BigScoots
Mark has a deep understanding of the WordPress space and brings a unique perspective that’s hard to find. During our consultation, he helped us refine our strategy approach by focusing on what would actually resonate with users — cutting through the noise to get actionable feedback. Mark has an ability to bridge the gap between product owners and the broader WordPress community. His insights on user behavior and community trends were spot-on and practical. On top of that, Mark is friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping others succeed. Mark is a fantastic person to work with. Hire him for clear, actionable advice and a fresh perspective.

He's also incredibly patient, always taking the time to explain things until they click for me. In the fast-paced world of digital marketing, having someone like Mark on your side is a game-changer.

Mark helped me work through many nuanced business topics related to business development and client interfacing. I was impressed by his deep knowledge of these topics and his ability to provide valuable insights and advice. One thing that stood out to me about Mark was his attention to detail. He really took the time to understand my business and its unique challenges and opportunities, and tailored his recommendations accordingly. This level of personalized advice was incredibly helpful and helped me to feel more confident in my decision-making. In particular, Mark was able to provide me with valuable insights on how to provide different services, such as SEO and graphic design. He was able to weigh the pros and cons of a referral vs. subcontractor approach for each option and help me make an informed decision that was best for my business. Overall, I had a great experience working with Mark and would highly recommend him to others. His deep knowledge of business development, WordPress development, and agency building, coupled with his personalized approach to advice, makes him an excellent resource for anyone looking to start or grow their business.

I recently had the opportunity of working with Mark on the programming of several sections of one of my projects, and the results were outstanding. Mark demonstrated a deep understanding and knowledge of both the technical and aesthetic aspects. With his support I was able to complete several tasks that went beyond my expertise. I highly recommend him!
Arturo Menesses
Director at Dinamicas Creativas
I am pleased to highly recommend Mark Szymanski and his consultancy services, which have been invaluable during the development stage of our web application. Mark joined our project during a critical phase when we faced the complex challenge of dynamically generating intricate class plans for instructor course management within our Learning Management System. His expertise and insights were crucial in navigating these complexities and contributed significantly to our progress. Mark's ability to quickly diagnose the problem and articulate a clear path forward was pivotal. His proposed solution did not only address the current problem which we were experiencing but was later on taken as a part of the planning system used by all our educators. He brought in deep technical skills, a methodical problem-solving process, and an uncanny ability to simplify what seemed to be complex issues. Mark made a change in the daily planning of our instructors and improved the overall functionality and user experience of our application. He always seemed to find the time to help, verify and reiterate requests made along the way. I can gladly recommend Mark for the services needing professional advice on improvement or development of their technological solutions, more so for those with JetEngine and Bricks Builder in WordPress.

Mark Was awesome to say the least! I hired him to consult on a new business and automated website I am creating. Mark went above and beyond, I was pleasantly surprised to find out he did research on my business competition and really made an effort to understand the industry before we met. He brought perspectives to the table I hadn't considered and with his guidance I was able to avoid some pit falls I didn't see coming. He brought multiple skillsets to the table I can't recommend him enough!

Mark built me a new website for one of my businesses, and the experience was great from to start to finish. He sought to deeply understand my business, and was able to translate my vision into a reality. Finding a web developer that has both the soft & technical skills to see a project through to completion is rare, and FindIT Tech made the experience both seamless & enjoyable. Highly recommend!!
