We recently had the chance to connect with Marcus Dupree and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Marcus, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: When was the last time you felt true joy?
When I met the love of my life who lives in Denver Sara Jean Rose she is my inspiration and drive the purpose I am successful and the reason I am creative and doing some amazing things to innovate my business for my customers . She is my true joy I think of her when I am creating and think about why I am doing it so one day I will be able to give her the life she deserves take care of her the way I want to so she will not ever have to struggle anymore build this business so I can make her my wife and love her and provide for her for the rest of my life that is my true joy.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Well I am Marcus Dupree aka Dij Sparkx I was a popular radio dj on clear channel radio in denver for about 10 years on the Louise and Floowax show on 103.5 the fox had my own show from 6pm to 10pm on 95.7 FM the party. retired from radio and begin to build my network that was already in place that I was doing on the side since 1995. I begin to build sparkx media network we are digital radio network as well as streaming Tv service and Stock Market platform that focus on independent business creators. Began to build the business like a mall so you buy the land or in this case the network on Roku get licensing all the things you needed to run the business we offer rental space on TV to any business so business comes in pays a monthly fee to get a channel basically renting the space on air. I give all businesses 100% of their advertising that comes in business covers their own Maintenance cost and monthly fees just like they would at a mall cover their own bills everything they make is their money including advertising. We have over 5 million viewers that come to the network daily so alot of traffic for the business to potentially sell to. The concept gives the network content and the business can do whatever with the content post on you tube or other social media networks its a non exclusive agreement this way helps the business gain even more people to sell their products to in addition to being on TV. then coming soon we will offer to businesses that are on the network with a channel they can also be traded by our customer base on our stock market that focus on small business the business will be able to make additional funds for the business as well as customers that watch the content on the platform can trade and make money from the comfort of your home right on your TV Additional funding of course is needed for this channel to be build if anyone would like to invest you can contact us at sparkxtvproductions@gmail.com or call 720-523-3530 ask for Sparkx we need alot of funds we are willing to give 35% of the company to any investor who can get us the money we need. We also have an after school program we want to start to teach student ages 7 to 18 about business stocks and all that we offer total free for kids so we can give back to the community to help the next generation build wealth.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who taught you the most about work?
My Uncle Rick he taught me all I ever needed to know about work and life he is my dads brother but he is like my dad never treated me different from his own kids I was just an older son he got me one of my first jobs as a wedding planner/ maintenance man of all things I would help plan the weddings for stars I did the wedding for chipper jones of the Atlanta Braves and the wedding for a member of Zack Brown Band and many others a black man a wedding planner I was like wow did hell of a job but get my work effort from my uncle Fred Weaver.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes I was in a bad way lost a lot due to a bad relationship and was going to totally give up on everything but my dear friend talked me off the ledge Tony Exum Jr. jazz sax man of Denver Colorado www.tonyexumjr.com he was there for me when no one else was and talked to me to let me know to many people I have blessed with my talents with tech and connecting people helping other better themselves the world needs me basically so I didn’t give up because of Tony Exum Jr. so go to a show that Tony has in Denver please go to him tell him thank you because of him you have Sparkx Media Network and all the innovations that are coming support him for me because if he would not have talked me off the ledge none of this would be possible.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
Being not only a human merely doing but becoming a human being
To understand the difference between being a “human doing” and a “human being,” we must first define each term. A “human doing” is someone who primarily defines their self-worth by their accomplishments and external achievements. They often feel compelled to constantly “do” things to be valued by society and themselves. In contrast, a “human being” values their self-worth based on their values, attitudes, beliefs, and how they treat others. They find satisfaction in being honest, considerate, and responsible, rather than solely on accomplishment.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What will you regret not doing?
Getting married to the woman I love and building a family with that person and settling down spending the rest of my life happy or trying to happy at least only thing that I ever really wanted was to love someone and be loved back truly seems like the hardest thing to achieve for me I will regret not doing it if I never get that chance I pray at least I get to do that before my time on this earth is up.
