01-08-26 In Plain Sight with Mark Hulsewe Filmmaker, Speaker, and Advocate
Scarlett’s guest is Mark Hulsewe—a filmmaker, speaker, and advocate who is working to change the way we think about bullying, violence, and school safety. Drawing from his own lived experience as a victim of bullying, Mark focuses on proactive, human-centered solutions. He speaks about leadership, empathy, and practical frameworks like the HERO Protocol, which aim to rewire how schools and communities respond to pain—before it turns into harm.
Mark is the creator of the short film In Plain Sight, which has been recognized at film festivals for its powerful storytelling and its unflinching look at the human cost of bullying. He is also a TEDx speaker, known for his talk “The Great Rescue: Ending School Shootings,” where he explores how violence is often the tragic downstream effect of unresolved pain, exclusion, and bullying—and how prevention is possible.
Mark’s work asks an important and hopeful question: What if preventing violence isn’t about fear and force, but about connection, compassion, and courageous leadership?
