The new Mark Wahlberg series, Wahl Street (HBO Max trailer) is inspiring millions of folks to be better people. Of course, you'll never be good at everything like Mark seems to be. This show has something for everyone: business leaders, families, female entrepreneurs, workout enthusiasts, the pious, fashionistas, philanthropists, movie fans, and even kids.
