Tech Founder Marcus Bullock Inspires Residents to Pursue Entrepreneurship, Business Success

Marcus Bullock, tech founder and CEO of Flikshop, visited multiple CoreCivic facilities in 2024, with one stop at Lake City Correctional Facility in Lake City, Florida. Bullock not only showed up to these speaking events with positivity and zeal, but he brought a message backed by years of business experience, particularly through the app and business he started called Flikshop, which allows individuals to send photos, postcards and prints to their incarcerated loved ones at a low cost to keep them connected to the outside world during incarceration.

But his story didn't start with success. Like his audience, Bullock served time in prison early in life. Nevertheless, Bullock overcame adversity, believed in himself, and redefined his story, which ultimately led him to a path of success. Today, he is sharing with incarcerated people how they, too, can find future business success after reentry.
