#152 Starting all over again with Mark Green
“There were two significant moments, two significant doors. One was the thought of that's it. I'm dead. Door closed on everything. And the other moment was when the consultant said, you can have all this back. You've just got to work for it. Door open.”
In this episode, Mark Green, founder of Change Rebellion, shares his wild story of a door closing, nearly for good, and how it changed him and his perspective for life. It’s not just a story about navigating professional change; it’s about survival, resilience, and finding purpose.
When COVID hit his family in late 2020, Mark fell severely ill, resulting in him spending two months in an induced coma. He shares the raw reality of what it felt like to face death, the strange dreams and mental battles and how the moment a consultant offered hope became a literal “door opening” in his life. Mark’s recovery meant learning everything again. How to walk, talk, eat, and rebuild his strength.
Listen to this episode to be reminded about what really matters, and why sometimes, the only plan you need is to keep moving forward.
The things that helped Mark navigate change:

One piece of advice: “Keep those nearest and dearest to you close. That’s all that matters and all that’s important. Try to have fun along the way, focus on what you can change, let go of the rest.” Mark Green
