What started as a simple conversation about personal growth turned into a deep, powerful discussion on what it really takes to live a life beyond limits.Mark opens up about a story that shaped his identity for years, the moment, as a 12-year old, he was called out in class and decided he was "dumb."

In this recap of my conversation with Anthea Livingston, I explore two powerful lessons that can help you create a life beyond limits.
Anthea’s story highlights:
Why setting goals in every area of life (not just business) unlocks clarity and momentum
How dissolving false assumptions frees us from feeling victimised
The power of shifting focus from “what’s being done to me” to “what do I want?”
Why clarity acts like a freight train — once you commit, life starts moving faster than you expect
These are lessons for anyone who feels stuck or unclear about their next step. Clarity is power. Focus creates energy. And dissolving limits opens the way to a life you truly love.
Listen now to hear how Anthea’s insights can help you shift your mindset and move towards your dreams.
In this episode of The Mind Shift, I sit down with my longtime friend and client, Anthea Livingston, to explore how she transformed fear into fuel and created a business and life on her own terms.
Anthea first came to this work almost a decade ago, carrying a fear of success and limiting beliefs that were holding her back. Since then, she’s built (and sold) a thriving business, restructured her life around family and freedom, and now helps others grow into their own potential.
We talk about:
How she broke through the fear of success and limiting beliefs
The power of setting goals in every area of life, not just business
Why dissolving assumptions frees us from victimhood
Building a business that serves both family and purpose
What it means to recreate and aim higher once you’ve already achieved your dreams

In this recap of my conversation with Andrew Hall, I take a deeper look at one of the most powerful lessons he shared, the practice of holding up the mirror as a leader.
So often in leadership, we think our role is to manage others: spot what’s wrong and fix it. But Andrew’s story reveals a different truth: the moment we judge someone else, we are usually doing the very thing we’re judging them for.
In this episode, I unpack:
Andrew’s breakthrough moment in a high-pressure project
Why perception isn’t always truth
How self-reflection transforms leadership, relationships, and results
Practical ways to apply the “mirror test” in your own life
This is a short, powerful exploration of how turning the mirror inward can break limits, dissolve resistance, and create the space for real change.
Tune in now to discover how leaders can shift perception and unlock extraordinary results.
For our very first guest episode of The Mind Shift, I had the privilege of sitting down with my good friend, Andrew Hall.
I’ve known Andrew for many years, and what has always struck me about him is his absolute commitment to living a life beyond limits.
At 19, he experienced a life-changing accident that could have defined him. Instead, it sparked a mission: to normalize disability and show that life is still extraordinary, no matter the circumstances.
In this episode, Andrew and I talk about:
Andrew is humble, wise, and courageous. His story is a reminder that life isn’t easy, but it can still be fantastic.
