Life can knock you down in more ways than one. In this episode we dive into what happens when your health fails, your career disappears, and your sense of identity is shaken. Mark Thomas shares his journey through asthma, multiple surgeries, and major career setbacks in big tech. He opens up about what it means to lose your footing, ask for help, and rebuild confidence when everything feels uncertain. We explore themes of resilience, vulnerability, and identity - and why learning to lean on others can be the key to growth. If you’ve ever faced setbacks in your health, career, or personal life, this conversation will help you see how struggle can lead to strength.
