In this raw and deeply personal episode, Coach Mark Carroll opens up about the patterns and habits that have been quietly sabotaging his progress — both in life and in business. From post-movie inspiration to brutally honest self-reflection, Mark breaks down five behaviours he knows are holding him back and shares the internal battles behind each one. This isn’t just another productivity pep talk — it’s a powerful reminder that awareness alone isn’t enough; it’s what you do with it that counts.

If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're spinning your wheels without real results, this episode is for you. Mark doesn't claim to have it all figured out — instead, he invites you to reflect alongside him, take ownership, and start implementing meaningful change.
