Episode Synopsis

In this moving episode of Portfolio Pulse, host Steven Huskey welcomes Scottish mind coach and writer Mark MacNicol, creator of Anonymous Drama — a unique, therapeutic arts program designed for individuals with no prior interest in drama or therapy. Mark shares his powerful personal story and how it inspired a program now serving thousands across prisons, recovery centers, and justice communities. With a background in screen and theater writing, Mark has spent nearly a decade using the arts to reduce reoffending rates and drug-related deaths — even training former participants to become facilitators themselves. The conversation also explores how business owners and entrepreneurs can learn from this model to foster empathy, resilience, and emotional intelligence within their own teams.
