In this candid episode, we’re joined by Ian Macbeth and Mark Worrall—two experienced agents who aren’t afraid to talk about the real stuff behind the scenes.

From the frustration of training for a 100k ultra with an injury, to the uncomfortable topic of money in estate agency, this chat is refreshingly real. Ian opens up about the mental toll of being sidelined from running, while Mark highlights the importance of being honest—not just with others, but with yourself.
