What if the career you've built no longer fits the person you've become?

Daniele Brunetto has coached people through burnout, career pivots and the quiet panic of starting over. He also did it himself. This is that conversation.

In this episode:

• The monkey that whispers "but will I be good enough without my job?"
• Why "I am a coach" is a more dangerous sentence than it sounds
• "Should" vs "do you want to?" The two words that stop clients dead in their tracks
• What do you do when time just disappears? That's your answer right there
• Why having done lots of different things isn't a problem. It's your whole story.

Why do so many talented coaches and creatives shrink from being visible?

Offer positioning expert and author of The Easy Yes, Janine Coombes, joins Mark for an honest conversation about the mind monkeys that whisper "don't show off" – and how to quieten them.

In this episode:

• Why visibility feels selfish – and the reframe that changes everything
• The pearls incident: how unsolicited criticism launched Janine's video career
• Pricing your offer, not your worth
• Why doing your own video editing might be the path to self-love
• Play to your strengths and double down... and stop doing everything

What are mind monkeys — and why do they run the show?

In this opening episode, Mark Franklin introduces the concept that sits at the heart of this series: those unhelpful inner voices that whisper doubts, stoke fears, and talk us out of becoming our best selves.

In this episode:

• What mind monkeys are and where they come from
• The Event + Response = Outcome equation
• Why your brain leans on historic responses — and why they may no longer serve you
• How naming a fear immediately reduces its power
• What to expect from the show, the guests, and the conversations ahead

The banana skins our mind monkeys throw out are based on past experiences and learned behaviours. But here's the challenge: are those automatic responses still relevant to who you are today, and where you're heading?
