About Marc Bowker

Hi, I’m Marc Bowker — TEDx speaker, Heroic Certified Coach & Workshop Instructor, and owner of Alter Ego Comics, an award-winning comic book store I’ve run for over 20 years.I help small business owners, educators, and everyday heroes rise above burnout, anxiety, and overwhelm by combining ancient wisdom, modern science, and superhero storytelling.After a nervous breakdown in 2016, I rebuilt my life using the very lessons I now teach — rooted in Stoicism, purpose-driven habits, and personal mastery. Today, I lead powerful keynotes and workshops that help individuals and teams reclaim their energy, boost resilience, and become the best versions of themselves.Whether I’m on stage, in the classroom, or behind the counter at Alter Ego Comics, my mission is clear: Help people become the heroes of their own story.
