Mark has a way of imparting such zen wisdom in an intelligent and succinct way. Great podcast! Well worth the listen!
I have been following Mark on LinkedIn for a while now. His posts stand out because they are so self- less and never about him, but always entertaining.
I am not a podcast person usually but I was intrigued. I picked episode 27 to start and it was brilliant. Soothing voice, simple, accessible message.
Loved it and I am converted!
I’ll be starting my day like this again for sure!

Thank you for sharing practical wisdom, and relevant ways to approach life and live life fully in the present.
