My Suicide Race is a message of hope for anyone struggling with loneliness, lost purpose, or the pain of self-rejection. It follows Mark Turnipseed’s journey from the depths of heroin addiction and despair to the triumph of becoming an Ironman triathlete—his first finish line in a lifelong race toward healing. Through fitness and wellness, Mark discovered a higher power within himself, proving that even from the darkest places, we can rise, rebuild, and reclaim our lives.

An empire is safety—it’s a beacon of hope, a small kingdom of peace built within the chaos. If you’ve ever felt weary, alone, or unsure of how to rise again, come listen as Mark Turnipseed shares how he continues to forge his own Empire from the ashes of addiction, shame, and suicidal ideation—transforming pain into purpose, and life into legacy.

As Co-Founder and CEO of Halo42 Skin, Mark leads the creative direction of a brand he envisions as the intersection of mental health and beauty. To him, a beauty routine is more than skincare—it’s an act of self-love, the first step toward healing, empowerment, and rising above life’s challenges.

Mark A. Turnipseed founded the Seeds of Change Men’s Ministry and Mentorship Program after discovering how difficult it was to swim out of the mire of trauma, addiction, and health struggles on his own. No man should have to fight that battle alone—or have to pay to find guidance and brotherhood. Seeds of Change was created for the man who’s ready to rise, to rebuild, and to remember that healing happens together.
