Marcus A. Noel
Who I Am
Marcus A. Noel. Christocapitalist. Kingdom builder. Cultural architect. Ordained minister. Founder of Truth in the Wyld and co-creator of the GODWAVE Collective.
I've spent 15+ years moving across sectors: analyst at JP Morgan, Merchandising Manager at McMaster-Carr, Ed Tech Innovation Fellow for the Obama Administration, partner, producer, and writer at Forbes Media. Morehouse College alumnus. London School of Economics. Additional studies at Peking University in Beijing.
But the resume doesn't tell the real story. The real story is a man who walked through the systems of the world, learned how they operate, and chose to build something different. Something aligned with God's design rather than man's ambition. Every role, every institution, every credential was preparation for the mission I'm now fully committed to: raising consciousness, restoring communities, and ushering in the kingdom of God through creativity, truth, and bold righteousness.

WHAT THEY SAY
"Marcus Noel is a man of God Almighty first. Everything else flows from that. He is a visionary. An entrepreneur. A leader. But more than titles, he is someone entrusted with a calling. I truly believe he has been placed on this earth by the Most High to help free people from mental and spiritual bondage, especially within the African American community. He carries a burden for people who know something is off in the world but cannot quite articulate it. For young people. For leaders. For those seeking truth but who have been distracted by the illusion of it. Marcus does not come softly. He challenges systems. He challenges narratives. He challenges people to think again. That will always draw attention. And attention, when stewarded well, creates impact. I am not just his wife. I am his partner. Spiritually, strategically, and personally." -Arielle Noel, Marcus’ wife (see full interview below)
"Marcus is no ordinary changemaker - he is a visionary who leaves an enduring imprint on the world. He understands that real, lasting impact is about more than just making a difference today, but about empowering future generations to carry the torch and continue shaping a brighter, more sustainable, and harmonious future. His portfolio is not merely a collection of investments, but a legacy, a beacon of hope, a testament to the power of disruption and innovation in service of humanity. It was an honor and joy to support him early in his career." -Lynn Schusterman, billionaire founder of Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies
"A fellow Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Marcus possesses an extraordinary ability to identify and harness opportunities that pave the way for meaningful social change. He doesn't just dabble in ventures, but carefully curates a portfolio that has the potential to revolutionize the collective consciousness of the world. His works span education, spirituality, sustainable technology, film, and cultural arts, all tied together by the common thread of disrupting the norm and inspiring paradigm shifts. What Marcus brings to the table goes beyond investing and building businesses, it's about sculpting a Golden Age for all." -Gary Sheng, ex-Google innovation advisor to Vatican and leading tech companies
"Strategic partnerships, innovative collaborations, and purposeful investments - these are the tools of change Marcus masterfully wields to create waves of positive impact. He has a unique gift of using his resources and influence to spark a ripple effect, empowering individuals to broaden their perspectives, awaken their spirits, and adopt sustainable practices. As someone who has mentored and partnered with him for years, I have learned that Marcus' commitment to fostering positive change is not just admirable, it's genuinely transformative." -Dr. Denise Mitchem, Harvard Divinity School and partner to Attorney Ben Crump
