S2: EP19 Finding Meaning in Life - with Mark Wales

This week we're joined by Resilience Speaker and Author, Mark Wales.  Bear Grylls described Mark's new book, Survivor - a life in the SAS,  as "A powerful & honest story of courage, redemption and finding purpose".  Join us for this inspiring convo centred around all things transformation, resilience, growth and purpose.  A few of our favourite things.

We hope it reminds you of the importance of knowing what you stand for in life and chasing things that align with that, before we all turn back into the stardust we came from. 

Mark is a former SAS Special Ops Commander who completed 10 Tour of Duties in Afghanistan, the last of which saw him witness his mentor being gunned down.  After returning home he began the process of rebuilding his life, from the ground up.   

Also hanging out on his CV: an MBA from an Ivy League Business School in the US,  Speaker, Founder of Kill Kapture, and competitor in the Australian TV series Survivor & Amazons Bear Grylls World's Toughest Race. 

We covered so much:

• How failure is an amazing liberator
• Unlearning & re-learning
• Letting curiosity guide you
• What happens when our identity is stripped away
• The importance of finding your tribe
• The only way not to fail is not to do anything
• Creating your own path vs running down someone elses
• The importance of asking for help 
• Fixed vs growth mindsets
• How we can achieve great results 
• Chasing what you were put on this planet to do
• Legacies

...and so much more.  We hope you walk away from it feeling inspired to chase what is important to you if you're not already on that path.

Big Love
