In episode 10, Mark teaches Kristen the very tough concept of “spring cleaning” our relationships and the theoretical pruning of relationships that aren’t supporting you becoming your best self and achieving your goals. He discusses WHO to cut out, HOW to do it, and defines the difference between “toxic” relationships and relationships that aren’t necessarily “negative,” but still keep you from moving forward to your dream. We also...

How many hours a week do you spend working on your own brand vs. working on someone else’s? In episode 9, we talk about ownership and how maintaining ownership over yourself and your brand can be the difference between a powerful or a powerless life. Mark shows us how to view ourselves as a stock and how just the simplest things can increase or decrease our value. Mark reveals whether he thinks Kristen is at a “premium” or a “disco...

In episode 8, Mark and Kristen discuss systems of value and how traditional systems, like the toxic patriarchy, have given us a biased view of our own worth. Mark shows us how to create our OWN valuation system, based on your tangible and intangible assets.

In this episode, we DEEP dive on toxic productivity and flip the script on that well-known phrase "work smarter, not harder" into "work less, and add more VALUE." Mark shows us how to tackle what you want differently, highlighting the value only YOU can bring to the table.

Does the idea of "power" make you cringe? In this first episode of our 5 episode series on power, Mark shows us how to change our mindset on "power", how to gain more autonomy over your life, and how to begin viewing yourself as a BRAND, rather than as a job title or a service. We share examples of how powerful icons have made their brands into platforms, and how you can do that exact same thing on a smaller lev...

This week, we begin to unravel the step-by-step process of getting UN-STUCK. We also discuss why there are so many LAYOFFS happening right now, the truth behind the job security illusion, and how to value yourself as a BRAND, rather than a commodity. 

We know there are a lot of ways to be “stuck”, so we cast a wide net with our advice, breaking it down for multiple job and career scenarios. No matter what your path you’re ...

In Episode 4, we dive into how to know you’re STUCK. We discuss the obvious and most intense signs such as burn out, but also the sneakier signs that make us rationalize our unhappiness and send us down that slippery auto-pilot slope. Join Mark and Kristen as they discuss all of this and more, including how to realize you’re following someone else’s MoonShot instead of yours and how to begin thinking about creating your own, NEW pa...

This week, we break down the falsely held belief that work should always equal sacrifice, how to know you're “working against the grain” in your life and why just “being good” at something shouldn’t be the only reason to stay in a job that doesn’t fulfill you. Kristen takes us on her own journey of deviating from her creative path and how believing the false notion that following your passion is “selfish” ultimately led her to...

In episode 2, we discuss what it means and feels like to be STUCK. We reframe the idea of “quitting” and how taking risks can change your life for the better. We also share how we got unstuck with our podcast, and Mark shares his own deeply personal experience with being stuck, hitting his “rock bottom” and how he pivoted in his life to follow his passion. Finally, we end with discussing why RIGHT NOW is the perfect time to take th...

In our very first episode, we talk about what is WRONG with the current financial system, how it holds us back, what barriers are in place to keep us there, and why we ALL might be feeling some degree of “STUCK” in our lives.
