Have you ever felt a sense of helplessness in your life? Do you have the information in hand that can help you better yourself? Are you someone who struggles with the pressures of having a platform?

In the third episode of season seven, we were joined by medical doctor and podcast host Dr Mark Cox, aka The Straight Talking Dr.

Mark has been simplifying the health and wellness space for a few years now through his social media posts, podcast, and much more. Yet, where did this all come about? Through his upbringing, his time at university, and an unfortunate event with his nan, the combination of such factors led him to do what he does now as a doctor, but also as a doctorpreneur. Mark speaks openly about what it’s like being a doctor, including the highs and lows. Yet, what he has done through pursuing what he loves is found ways to deal with the pressures of having a platform, relieve stress, and understand why he does what he does.

In this conversation, we spoke to Mark all about how he started his platform, what he gets asked the most and the one thing we should know about his passion for simplifying the health and wellness space.
