#1000: A chat with my dad!

For the 1,000th episode of the InnerFight Podcast, Marcus turns the mic on someone very close to home – his dad. In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, Marcus explores the man behind so many of his own values: hard work, simplicity, honesty, and doing the right thing even when it’s hard. They talk about: Taking bold career leaps – from Yorkshire to Africa, Jeddah, and Dubai, and how those risks shaped his life. Values that withstand time – discipline, honesty, simplicity, and doing the right thing even when it's hard. Choosing fulfilment over comfort – walking away from a well-paid job because he no longer enjoyed it, and why that decision defined his integrity. This episode is full of wisdom, humour, straight-talking honesty, and emotion. It’s also a gentle challenge: if your parents are still around, sit down with them, ask the questions you don’t know the answers to, and record the conversation if you can. A milestone episode, the final show of 2025, and an hour of pure gold from Marcus’ dad.
