EP12 - Death, My Guidance Counselor - Mark Maxwell

Only Human Podcast

Show Notes

Aged 19 Mark Maxwell was on a gap year in Australia training to be a professional rugby player when on a trip with friends he had a heart attack. It was down to quick action by friends and a fast ambulance response that he is still with us, now with a pacemaker in tow. This would fundamentally alter his plans and the way he interacts with life. But the bigger pain point came in the years after recovery as he explored a variety of careers and was left feeling lost, until that very process led him to the intersection of his values and skillset. He found a purpose in starting Gradlife, a company which gives young grads insight and real pointed assessments to lead them to careers that excite them. His journey and new lens on life is not just inspiring but he has so much value to add. Learn more at mrgradlife.com

I’ve been avoiding making this episode. I don’t necessarily believe in disability, I believe in people and people have diverse abilities.
