Hi, I'm Marquez Pye

"You have to face reality in order to change it"

Who Am I?

I’m Marquez Pye, a keynote speaker and identity transformation coach who helps organizations and leaders systematically move the internal barriers that limit their potential.

I got expelled from high school for fighting. Today, that same school has an award named after me – The Marquez Bernard Pye Senior Comeback Award.

The difference wasn’t just changing my behavior. I had to change who I believed I was.

Bio

Marquez Pye is a keynote speaker, identity transformation coach, and entrepreneur who’s overcome every business and life challenge by doing the uncomfortable work that most people avoid. As the host of “The Discomfort Zone” podcast, he brings weekly conversations with leaders who’ve learned
that discomfort is the necessary environment for success. As a serial entrepreneur with 15 years building a successful transportation company, Marquez discovered that the greatest obstacles aren’t external—they’re the internal barriers we carry. This breakthrough led him to develop the FREIGHT framework, a systematic approach to moving internal barriers. His journey from expelled student to having an award named after him at that same school (The Marquez Bernard Pye Senior Comeback Award) proves his core message: identity transformation drives external results.
