Who the Hell is Marty Kotis?

Meet Marty Kotis: developer, restaurateur, street art curator, adventurer, maverick. His company, Kick Ass Concepts, owns 1 million square feet of retail space in the Southeast — from traditional grocery stores and chain restaurants to high-end tattoo parlors and whisky bars. It’s easy to spot his properties in Guilford County, North Carolina. They’re the ones covered with colorful murals and graffiti painted by some of the world’s most renowned street artists.

Kotis’ holdings are as eclectic as the man himself. He’s the owner of Greensboro’s last independently owned movie theater, RED Cinemas, and the only remaining Darryl’s Wood Fired Grill. One of his proudest accomplishments was when his Pig Pounder Brewery commissioned a piece of art for his new beer called No Filter, an imperial stout aged for 12 months in bourbon barrels. You need 3-D glasses for the full effect: Look through the red lens and you'll see a nice image of President Donald Trump. Look through the blue lens and you'll see a pig. Look without the glasses and both Trump and the pig appear. The concept outraged liberals and conservatives equally, but got everyone having a conversation — which is exactly what Kotis wanted.

He’s a motorcycle rider, a gun enthusiast and world traveler. When he was younger, he finished the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon in San Francisco six times, swimming 1.5 miles from Alcatraz Island to the shore. He’s free-climbed Mt. Olympus and kayaked around Manhattan Island with ferries rambling by. He works hard and plays hard.

He serves on the UNC Chapel Hill Board of Trustees and previously served on the UNC Board of Governors for eight years, where he was often the lone dissenting vote.

Most of all, he’s a maverick: independent, daring, decisive and unafraid to speak his mind.

Former US Congressman Mark Walker exposes the dirty side of politics - dark money PACs and backroom deals. But as a maverick - he doesn't bow to pressure from the establishment or the king makers. We talk about how his voting card isn't for sale and how to navigate politics with integrity and faith.
