“

I thought it was insightful to hear how Mark started off his career. He also acknowledged a trait we know is in all younger people, which is the belief we know everything, and every now and then need to be humbled to realise we don’t. Also, the importance of having a mentor who isn’t afraid to tell us not what we want to hear, but what we need to hear to better ourselves and take advantage of any opportunities that may present themselves.”

“

Mark’s humble beginnings were particularly relatable and inspiring. He shared valuable insights about his business journey, from emphasising the importance of practicing patience and humility, to recognising the influence of strategic collaboration and mentorship in building success. I also found Mark’s passion toward prioritising health very powerful, drawing inspiration from Dr Peter Attia’s three pillars of longevity: exercise, nutrition, and sleep.”
