The story behind the work
Marco Lopez is a peak performance strategist, speaker, author, and father of five. As founder of Mind Tune, he helps leaders quiet the noise in their heads so they can think clearly, decide well, and get more done without straining. He is the author of "Tune In: The Human Edge in an Age of Noise." Before he was a strategist he was a technology executive and a professionally trained opera singer. He grew up in constant motion, with more than forty moves before he was nine, two countries, a family that came apart, and a mind he could not count on from one day to the next.
He assumed for years that something was wrong with him. What he learned, from his father's writings on mental clarity and his grandfather's books on purpose, was that his capacity was never the problem. The noise sitting on top of it was. He lost his singing voice on a stage in Brazil in his early twenties and got it back nearly twenty years later using the same work he now teaches. Trilingual in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, Marco has worked with more than 5,000 leaders across four continents, teaching people to tune the mind the way a musician tunes an instrument.
On the YES! Women's Network Podcast, Marco sat down with Michele Morley for a conversation about quieting the noise and learning to hear your own song. He walked through his RISE method (Relax, Imagine, Sense, Enjoy), explained why clarity starts with mental space rather than more effort, and described how his wife Claudia moved from supporting his work to coaching alongside him. He also talked about compressing timelines, writing freely for two weeks about what you actually want, and the belief he hears most often from women: that they are not enough.
