I’m joined by fitness professional and business mentor Mark Coles, who shares his 25-year journey from real estate to fitness, eventually becoming a leader in online coaching. We discuss the importance of being authentic, his move to Dubai, and the nuances of creating a strong personal brand.
Both personal development and professional growth are key topics, and Mark offers invaluable advice on maintaining your vision, building confidence, and avoiding the pitfalls of comparison. Whether you're a fitness coach or just looking to strengthen your personal brand, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights.
