Dive into the world of idea sharing, support systems, and thought leadership with Sam Pepin and guest Mark J. Carter, founder of ONE80, LLC and author of Idea Climbing: How to Create a Support System for Your Next Big Idea. With over 25 years of interviewing and researching successful people, Mark has transformed his curiosity into a methodology that helps entrepreneurs bridge the gap between inspiration and action.

In this episode, Mark unpacks the importance of support systems for turning ideas into reality and how masterminds, when structured correctly, can provide entrepreneurs with advice, accountability, and connections. He shares his journey of interviewing hundreds of leaders, how those lessons shaped his book Idea Climbing, and why vulnerability, gratitude, and curiosity are key ingredients in building authentic networks.

Listeners will learn about the role of sizzle reels in personal branding, the art of asking better questions, and why sharing your story and showing up with authenticity are the true differentiators in today’s saturated content landscape. Mark also reflects on energy, intuition, and how entrepreneurs can harness these to create meaningful conversations that lead to transformation.
