Episode Synopsis
Enjoying the Show? Share Your Experience!What if your business problems weren’t really about your business at all—but about you? In this episode of MarketPulse: Pros & Pioneers, we sit down with Mark Musselman, a leadership veteran and founder of MX5 Consulting, who’s helped steer multimillion-dollar companies and now works with CEOs to navigate their greatest personal and professional hurdles. He shares the hard-earned lessons from running $30M+ organisations, including the moment he had to take his own family business through bankruptcy—and how that shaped the no-nonsense leadership approach he teaches today.Mark isn’t your typical coach. He’s lived the highs and lows of business firsthand and brings a refreshing, raw honesty to every conversation. From toxic positivity in the boardroom to social media facades, this episode peels back the curtain on what leaders are really thinking—and why most never talk about it. You’ll hear the kind of stories that rarely get shared, and insights that’ll make you rethink how you lead, manage, and show up for your team.This episode explores the exponential impact of coaching, how to use AI without losing your human touch, and why vulnerability is your strongest asset in business. Mark also breaks down the myths around leadership, explains how to stay productive in a world built for distraction, and reveals what CEOs are really saying at home when no one’s watching.If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of the polished success stories, this one’s for you. Mark’s message is simple but powerful—your business isn’t the problem. You are. And that’s not a bad thing. It’s an invitation to lead better.Subscribe for full episodes every week: https://www.youtube.com/@MarketPulsePodcast?sub_confirmation=1Show Links: Guest Website – https://www.mx5consulting.com Connect with Mark on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/markmusselman Subscribe to the podcast across all platforms – https://marketpulse.javelincontent.com/share Powered by Javelin Content – https://www.javelincontent.com Find Paul on LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-banks007Charity Partner: ADHD Liberty – Learn more at: http:// Thanks for listening!!You can catch us on all major podcast directories - New episode every Wednesday at 3pm UK time.
